GM's Tips

This is a survival game, the Deft class will play a critical role should you want to craft equipment! It is also recommended to assign one of your groups to a Vocation.

Note only the Strong can disengage in this system; however, the strong can, as an action, defend someone within their weapons range.

Progression

You gain XP through a multitude of actions.

• Overcoming obstacles and foes. XP is awarded based on the challenge and HD.

• Quests or missions. XP is awarded based on the challenge.

• Investing in a settlement, to build or develop something. XP = Crowns invested.

• Donations. XP = Crowns donated.

• Carousing. XP = Crowns spent + event.

Upon levelling up, you may unlock new slots or groups; always update them first. You also gain a new HD when rolling your new Max HP roll ALL HD, and only update HP if it is higher than the current max.

Death, Wounds, Recovery

There are no death saves; instead, the game follows this table:

Wounds

Wounds are applied to attributes like groups, they work to give them a negative when both the wound is relevant and the attribute is rolled.

Walking it off

Once per encounter, when a character takes damage, they can "walk it off" by making a save. If the save is a success, the damage is reduced by [[/r D6]]. However, if the roll fails, the character gains the dazed condition until their next turn.

Character Death

When a character dies, they become a ghost for the rest of the session. They can't physically interact with the world without spending HP akin the the Wise Miracles.

Recovery and Healing

If a character has rested, eaten and drunk, they recover 2 HP at the next dawn. In addition, if the character did not drop below 1 HP, they regain an extra point of HP. A character with corruption may also elect to use their recovery, lowering the corruption score instead of recovering HP, but note that a character who gains corruption can not lower it less than 1+level.

Checks

Whitehack (WH) uses a unique "roll under-over" system with a d20.
To succeed, you generally want to roll under your ability score but over the quality (or target number)—if one is set. In most cases, simply rolling under your ability score is enough to succeed.

Your ability score represents your maximum potential—you can't do better than it, but you can certainly do worse.

• Rolling above your ability score means failure; the task is beyond your capability.

• Rolling under your ability score means the task is within your grasp.

• The higher the success roll, the better the outcome. Rolling exactly equal to your ability score is a critical success, the best possible result.

Example:
Imagine you're a runner. Push too hard and go beyond your limits (roll too high), and you burn out. Pace yourself properly (roll under), and you succeed. Hit your peak (roll equal), and it's a perfect run.

Combat Example:
Fao is attacking a bandit. The bandit has an AC of 3, and Fao has an AV of 11. To deal damage, Fao needs to roll between 3 and 11 over the bandit’s AC, but under their AV.

Targeting

The VTT can do all the math for you if you use the target function. With your cursor over a token, press T, the token will be highlighted. All rolls you do now will be Vs that token and the VTT will tell you directly if you hit them. Remember to remove the target before moving on, though!

Encumberance & Travel Speed

A character can carry 10 items on hand and 5 items in their pack. Each item comes in five bands of weight.

• Heavy uses 2 slots. Items that need two hands to carry/use.

• Regular items take 1 slot. Most items and weapons.

• Small takes 0.5 slots. Mostly treasure items or very light items.

• Minnor uses 0.2 slots and is mostly just trinkets.

• Negligible is 0.01 slots and is for items you can palm, like coinage.

You can carry more than the slot cap, but this will lower your speed in scales.

• Heavy for 0.01 point over.

• Severe for 1 point over.

• Massive for 3 points over.

• Unable to move at 5 points over.

See the table to dictate movement speeds.

*The party Travels and Crawls at the speed of the slowest party member!

Gear & Weapons

In Chaos Isles, you'll need to focus more on crafting your gear than buying it.

Selling Items and Treasures

Items are always sold at half the market price, and treasures you find are sold at the listed value if your character knows it.
