ADDITIONAL CHARACTER CLASS INFORMATION
Fighting Men 9th level Fighting Men and above (Lords)
who build castles are considered Barons, and as such they
may invest in their holdings in order to increase their
income. Base income for a Baron is a tax rate of 10 gold
pieces/inhabitant/year.
Magic-Users At 10th Level they may manufacture for
their own use (or for sale) such items as potions, scrolls, and
just about anything else magical. Costs are equal to the
value of the item, as is the amount of game time required to
enchant it. Examples of costs are:
Thieves At 4th level gain+4 bonus to striking silently from
behind. Optional, double damage. At 10th level and above
they are able to understand magical writings, so any scroll
that falls into their hands can be used by them, excluding
spells which are clerical in nature. However, there is a 10%
chance that the effect will be the reverse of that intended
(due to the fact that even Master Thieves do not fully
comprehend such great magic). This reverse effect can be
known only after the spell is read.
INFRAVISION
The ability to see into the infrared spectrum, thus heat
radiation becomes visible and differences in temperature
allow infrared sight. Warm things are bright, cool things
grey, very cold things are black. Unnatural things like the
Undead can be seen as an inanimate object in grey hues.
DMs may ask players to make a roll to see if they have
been detected. All infravision is spoiled if a light source is
shedding illumination upon the creatures possessing the
infrared sight capability.
MORALE DAMAGE BY WEAPON TYPE (Optional)

When hirelings are taken into service a loyalty check is 1d4 Dagger
made by rolling 3d6. Adjustments are made for charisma 1d6 Hand Axe, Morning Star, Mace, Arrow, Quarrels
and initial payments for service, and the loyalty of the 1d8 Flail, Sword, Battle Axe,
hireling(s) noted by the referee. (The player will not have 1d10 Halberd, Spear
any knowledge of what it is without some method of 1d12 Two Handed Sword, Pike, Pole Arms, Lance

but attack from a distance with missile weapons. If the
melee gets too close, they will fall back and continue their Baronies An advantage to those who build their
ranged attack. strongholds in the wilderness is that they will gain control
over the surrounding countryside. Clearing the countryside
Stand and Fight monsters will hold their ground and of monsters is the first requirement. Territory up to 20 miles
continue fighting. distance from a stronghold may be kept clear of monsters
and once cleared, the inhabitation of the stronghold being
considered sufficient to maintain the monster-free status.
Within each territory there will be 2-8 villages of 100-400
inhabitants each. This populace will bring in annual tax
revenue equal to 10 gold pieces each. The referee may also
allow various investments in the territory, adjudicating
revenue according to investment and area potential. Some
possible investments are: Upkeep, Road Building, Armories
& Defense, Ship Building, Canals, Animal Breeding, Sea
Trade, Inns, Farming Land, Trade, Hunting, Fishing,
Trapping, Religion, Exploration and Tourism.
Ladders ladders ranging in 10-15 feet in length used to
scale high walls. Cost: 20 gold pieces
Battering Rams made from heavy timbers, frequently cut
from the largest tree available. The head is fitted with a
metal knob or point. The timber hangs from large chains or
ropes anchored into the roof. The roof is made of wood,
covered with hides, called a penthouse, designed to protect
its users from arrows, stones and boiling oil. The hides can
be kept wet, lessening the chance of fire damage. Cost: 400
gold pieces

Angry Villager Rule Anyone who has viewed a horror
movie is aware how dangerous angry villagers
are. Whenever the referee finds that some player has
committed an unforgiveable outrage this rule can be
invoked to harass the offender into line. Within the realm of
angry villagers are thieves from the thieves' quarter, city
watches and militia, etc. Also possible is the insertion of
some character like Conan to bring matters into line. This
rule may also apply to Barons who overtax and mistreat the
inhabitants in their Baronies. They may rise up and revolt or
abandon their lands seeking refuge elsewhere.
Siege Towers the siege tower is designed to provide
maximum protection for its occupants until the moment of
assault. It is always constructed to be higher than the walls
being attacked, sometimes ranging three stories in height.
The lowest level harbor troops that push the huge, wheeled
tower into position. Assault troops wait in the second level
for the lowering of the drawbridge. The top story holds
archers, whose role is to sweep the defenders from the area
of the wall attacked. Cost: 1500 gold pieces

Explosive Runes Protection from Evil, 10 Radius
Unless countered, this spell will be effective in dispelling
Fire Ball Protection from Normal Missiles enchantments of most kinds (referee's option), except those on
Fly Rope Trick magical items and the like. This is modified by the following
Haste Spell Slow Spell formula. The success of a Dispel Magic spell is a ratio of the
Hold Person Suggestion dispeller over the original spell caster, so if a 5th level Magic-
Infravision Water Breathing User attempts to dispel the spell of a 10th level Magic-User
there is a 50% chance of success.

Book of Fourth Level Spells:

Explosive Runes These runes when placed upon a
Charm Monster Polymorph Others parchment (book, scroll, map, etc.) safeguard it from
Confusion Polymorph Self unauthorized reading. If the reader is not the person who
Dimension Door Massmorph placed the runes upon the parchment they explode, destroying

remove them (50% chance of detecting them, 75% chance of
successfully removing them).
Book of Fifth Level Spells:

Feeblemind Wall of Stone Scrolls and Wands are 6-die missiles and those from Staves
Magic Jar are 8-die missiles.

Book of Sixth Level Spells: Fly The spell allows the user to fly at a speed of up to 120
Anti-Magic Shell Lower Water feet per turn. The spell lasts for the number of turns equal to the
Control Weather Monster Summoning IV level of the Magic-User plus one six sided die which is secretly
determined by the referee.

which can be cast through a Crystal Ball.
Infravision Range: 40-60 feet; Duration: 1 day
This spell allows the recipient to see infra-red light waves, thus
enabling him to see in total darkness.
Invisibility, 10 Radius An Invisibility spell with an
extended projection but otherwise no different from the former
spell.
Lightning Bolt Range: 240 feet; Duration: 1 turn
Utterance of this spell generates a lightning bolt 60 foot long
and up to 40 feet wide. If the space is not long enough to allow
its full extension, the missile will double back to attain 60 feet,
possibly striking its creator. It is otherwise similar to a Fire Ball
using 1d6 per level of Magic-User for damage.
Monster Summoning I Range: 10 feet Duration: 6 turns
This spell gives the Magic-User the ability to call a monster to
his aid from the table below, level 1, i.e. kobolds, goblins,
skeletons, etc. If a relatively small monster is rolled then the
referee will determine how many appear by rolling a six-sided
die. The monster or monsters summoned will faithfully serve the
Magic-User until the spell ceases to function or they are killed.
01-15 Kobold 46-60 Skeleton
16-25 Goblin 61-75 Rat, giant
26-45 Orc 76-00 Centipede, giant
Protection from Evil, 10' Radius A Protection from Evil
spell which extends to include a circle around the Magic-User
that lasts for 12 turns.
Protection from Normal Missiles Range: 30 feet;
Duration: 12 turns
The recipient of this charm is impervious to non-magical
missiles fired/thrown by those of 3rd level (Hit Dice) or less.
This spell does not provide protection against large missiles,
such as those hurled by giants, siege engines, etc.
Rope Trick Duration: 6 turns + the level of the Magic-User
employing it
This spell enables the user to cause a length of rope (6-24 feet)
to stand upright by itself, and when he (and up to three others)
climbs to its top, the climbers disappears into another
dimension. The rope is simply tossed into the air and climbed. If
undisturbed the rope remains in place for the duration of the
spell, but it can be removed, and if it is the persons coming
back from the other dimension will fall the distance they
climbed.
Slow Spell Range: 240 feet; Duration: 3 turns
A broad-area spell which affects up to 24 creatures in a
maximum area of 60 x 120 feet.
Suggestion Duration: 1 game week
A spell which works on the principle of hypnosis. If the creature
fails to make its saving throw vs. magic it will carry out the
suggestion, immediately or deferred according to the wish of
the Magic-User. Self-destruction is 99% unlikely, but carefully
worded suggestions can, at the referee's option, alter this
probability. Suggestions must be simple and relatively short,
i.e. a sentence or two.
Water Breathing Range: 30 feet; Duration: 12 turns
A spell whereby it is possible to breathe under water without
harm or difficulty.
FOURTH LEVEL SPELLS
Charm Monster Range: 120 feet
The counterpart of a Charm Person spell which is employable
against all creatures. If animals or creatures with three or fewer
hit dice are involved determine how many are affected by the
spell by rolling three six-sided dice. It is otherwise identical to
the Charm Person spell. The number of hit dice possessed by
the charmed monster allows it a greater possibility of breaking
free of the spell. A check must be made weekly.
Hit Dice Chance of Breaking Charm
1 5%
2-4 10%
5-7 20%
8-10 40%
11+ 80%
Confusion Range: 120 feet; Duration: 12 turns
This spell will immediately affect creatures with two or fewer hit
dice. For creatures above two hit dice the following formula is
used to determine when the spell takes effect: score of a twelve-
sided die roll less the level of the Magic-User casting the spell =
delay in effect, i.e. a positive difference means a turn delay,
while a zero or negative difference means immediate effect.
Creatures with four or more hit dice will have saving throws
against magic, and on those turns they make their saving throw
they are not confused; but this check must be made each turn
the spell lasts, and failure means they are confused. The spell
will affect as many creatures as indicated by the score rolled on
two six-sided dice with the addition of + 1 for each level above
the 8th that the Magic-User casting the spell has attained.
Confused creatures will attack the Magic-User's party (dice
score 2-5), stand around doing nothing (6-8), or attack each
other (9-12). Roll each turn.
Dimension Door Range: 10 feet
A limited Teleport spell allows the object to be instantaneously
transported up to 360 feet in any direction (including up or
down). There is no chance of misjudging when using a
Dimension Door, so the user always arrives exactly where he
calls, i.e. 120 feet upwards, 320 feet east, etc.
Extension I A spell to increase the duration of 1st through
3rd level spells by 50%. Range: as spell to
be extended.
Fear Range: 240 feet; Duration: 6 turns (movement or melee
as applicable)
This spell operates as if the user were employing a Fear Wand.
All those not saving vs. fear react as follows: They immediately
attempt to flee, or get as far away from the user as possible,
with a 50% chance that they will drop any weapons they had in
hand when struck by the Fear spell.
Growth of Plants Range: 120 feet; Duration: until the spell
is negated by a Dispel Magic
The spell causes normal brush or woods to become thickly
overgrown and entangled with creepers, vines, thorns, briars
and so on, so as to make the area virtually impassable. It will
affect an area of up to 300 square feet, the dimensions
decided by the caster of the spell.
Ice Storm Range: 120 feet; Duration: 1 turn
When cast this spell creates a cubic storm area of 30 feet per
side. Great hailstones descend causing 3-30 points of damage
to those within its confines (saving throws are
not possible).
Polymorph Others Range: 60 feet
Unlike the spell to Polymorph Self, this spell lasts until it is
dispelled. The spell gives all characteristics of the form
assumed, so a creature polymorphed into a dragon acquires
all of the dragon's ability not necessarily mentality, however.
Likewise, a troll polymorphed into a snail would have innate
resistance to being stepped on and crushed by
a normal man.
Polymorph Self Duration: 6 turns + the level of the Magic-
User employing it
This spell allows the user to take the shape of anything he
desires but he will not thereby acquire the combat abilities of
the shape he has assumed. That is, while the user may turn
himself into a dragon of some type, he will not gain the ability
to fight and breathe, but he will be able to fly.
Massmorph Range: 240 feet
This spell is used to conceal up to 100 men (or creatures of
near man size) as a woods or orchards. The concealed figures
may be moved through without being detected as anything
other than trees, and it will not affect the spell. It will be
negated by a command from the caster or by means
of a Dispel Magic spell.
Monster Summoning II This spell is identical to Monster
Summoning I except that either 1 or 2 2nd level monsters will
appear.
01-15 Centipede, giant 46-60 Stirge
16-25 Devil, Lemure 61-75 Toad, giant
26-45 Gnoll 76-00 Troglodyte
Remove Curse Range: Adjacent to the object
A spell to remove any one curse or evil sending. ** Note that
using this spell on a "cursed sword", for example, would make
the weapon an ordinary sword, not some form of enchanted
blade.
Wall of Fire Range: 60 feet
The spell will create a Wall of Fire which lasts until the Magic-
User no longer concentrates to maintain it. The fire wall is
opaque. It prevents creatures with under four hit dice from
entering/passing through. Undead will take two dice of
damage (2-12) and other creatures one die (1-6) when
breaking through the fire. The shape of the wall can be either a
straight wall of up to 60 feet width, 20 feet in height and 20
feet in length, or it can be cast in a circle of 30 feet diameter
and 20 feet in height.
Wall of Ice Range: 120 feet
A spell to create a wall of ice 6 inches thick, in dimensions like
that of a Wall of Fire. It negates the effects of creatures
employing fire and/or fire spells. It may be broken through by
creatures with four or more hit dice, with damage equal to one
die (1-6) for non-fire employing creatures and double that for
fire-users.
Wizard Eye Duration: 6 turns
A spell that allows the user to send a visual sensor up to 240
feet away in order to observe the scene without himself moving.
The eye is invisible. It moves 120 feet/turn.
FIFTH LEVEL SPELLS
Animate Dead The creation of animated skeletons or
zombies. It in no way brings a creature back to life. For the
number of dead animated simply roll one die for every level
above the 8th the Magic-User gets one die or from 1-6
animated dead. ** Note that the skeletons or dead bodies must
be available in order to animate them. The spell lasts until
dispelled or the animated dead are done away with.
Cloudkill Duration: 6 turns
This spell creates a moving, poisonous cloud of vapor
which is deadly to all creatures with less than five hit dice.
Movement: 60 feet/turn according to wind direction, or directly
away from the spell caster if there is no wind. Dimensions: 30
feet diameter and 10 feet in height. The cloud can be dispelled
by unusually strong wind or trees.
** Note that the cloud is heavier than air, so it will sink to the
lowest possible level.
Conjure Elemental Range: 240 feet
A spell to conjure an Air, Water, Fire or Earth Elemental. Only
one of each type can be conjured by a Magic-User during any
one day. The Elemental will remain until dispelled, but the
Magic-User must concentrate on control
or the Elemental will turn upon its conjurer and attack him.
Conjured Elementals are the strongest, with 16 hit dice.
Extension II Same as Extension I except it also applies to 4th
level spells.
Growth of Animals Range 120 feet; Duration: 12 turns
A spell which will cause 1-6 normal-sized animals (not merely
mammals) to grow to giant-size with proportionate attack
capabilities.
Hold Monster Same as Hold Person but applicable
to Monsters.
Feeblemind Range: 240 feet
A spell usable only against Magic-Users, it causes the recipient
to become feeble-minded until the spell is countered with a
Dispel Magic. Because of its specialized nature the Feeblemind
spell has a 20% better chance of success, i.e. lowers the Magic-
Users saving throw against magic by 4, so that if normally a
12 or better were required to save against magic, a 16 would
be required againsta Feeblemind.
Magic Jar This spell allows the Magic-User to house his life
force in some inanimate object (even a rock) and attempt to
possess the body of any other creature within 120 feet of his
Magic Jar. The container for his life force must be within 30
feet of his body at the time the spell is pronounced. Possession
of another body takes place when the creature in question fails
to make its saving throw against magic. If the possessed body
is destroyed, the spirit of the Magic-User returns to the Magic
Jar, and from thence it may attempt another possession or
return to the Magic-Users body. The spirit of the Magic-User
can return to the Magic Jar at any time he so desires. Note that
if the body of the Magic-User is destroyed the life force must
remain in a possessed body or the Magic Jar. If the Magic-Jar
is destroyed the Magic-User is totally annihilated.
Monster Summoning III Same as Monster Summoning II
except that 1 or 2, 3rd level monsters appear.
01-07 Beetle, boring 48-57 Ochre jelly
08-17 Bugbear 58-67 Orge
18-25 Gelatinous Cube 68-75 Spider, huge
26-32 Ghoul 76-85 Spider, large
33-40 Lizard, giant 86-95 Tick, giant
41-47 Lycanthrope, Wererat 96-00 Weasel, giant
Pass-Wall Range: 30 feet; Duration: 3 turns
A spell which opens a hole in a solid rock wall, man-sized and
up to 10 feet in length.
Telekenesis Range 120 feet; Duration: 6 turns
The spells gives the ability to move objects by mental force.
Weight limits are calculated by multiplying the level of the
Magic-User by 200 Gold Pieces weight. Thus, a 10th level
Magic-User is able to move a weight equal to 2,000 Gold
Pieces.
Teleport Instantaneous transportation from place to place,
regardless of the distance involved, provided the user knows
where he is going (the topography of the arrival area). Without
certain knowledge of the destination teleportation is 75%
uncertain, so a score of less than 75% of the percentile dice
results in death. If the user is aware of the general topography
of his destination, but has not carefully studied it, there is an
uncertainty factor of 10% low and 10% high. A low score (1-
10%) means death if solid material is contacted. A high score
(91-100%) indicates a fall of from 10 to 100 feet, also possibly
resulting in death. If a careful study of the destination has been
previously made, then the Magic-User has only a 1% chance of
teleporting low and a 4% chance of coming in high (10-40
feet).
Transmute Rock to Mud Range: 120 feet
The spell takes effect in one turn, turning earth, sand, and
of course, rock to mud. The area affected is up to 30 square
feet. Creatures moving into the mud will become mired,
possibly sinking if heavy enough or losing 90% of movement
otherwise, unless able to fly or levitate. The spell can only be
countered by reversing the incantation (requiring a Transmute
Rock to Mud spell) or by normal process of evaporation (3-18
days as determined by rolling three
six-sided dice).
Wall of Iron Range: 60 feet; Duration: 12 turns
Like a Wall of Stone, but the wall is 3 feet thick and its
maximum length and height equaling 10 feet.
Wall of Stone Range: 60 feet
The creation of a stone wall two feet thick with a maximum
length and height equaling 10 feet. The wall will last until
dispelled, broken down or battered through.
SIXTH LEVEL SPELLS
Anti-Magic Shell Duration: 12 turns
A field which surrounds the Magic-User and makes him totally
impervious to all spells. It also prevents any spells from being
sent through the shell by the Magic-User who conjured it.

the following weather control operations with this spell: Rain,
Stop Rain, Cold Wave, Heat Wave, Tornado, Stop Tornado,

An incantation which kills from 2-16 creatures with fewer than
seven hit dice. The creatures must be within an area of 60 x 60
feet to come under the spell.
Disintegrate Range: 60 feet
This spell will cause material of any kind other than that of a
magical nature to Disintegrate. It will blast a tree, dragon (if
it fails to make its saving throw against magic), wall section, or
whatever.
Geas Range: 30 feet; Duration: until the task
is completed
A spell which forces the recipient to perform some task (as
desired by the Magic-User casting the Geas). Any attempt to
deviate from the performance of the task will result in
weakness, and ignoring the Geas entirely brings death. The
referee must carefully adjudicate the casting and subsequent
performance of the geased individual when this spell is used.
Invisible Stalker The conjuration of an extra-dimensional
monster which can be controlled with merely a word from the
Magic-User who conjured him. The Invisible Stalker will
continue on its mission until it is accomplished, regardless of
time or distance. They cannot be dispelled once conjured,
except through attack.
Move: 120 feet Hit Dice: 8 Armor Class: 3
Damage: 6-16 Attacks: 1 Treasure Type: Nil
Part Water Range: 120 feet
A spell which will part water up to 10 feet deep for a maximum
of six turns.
Projected Image Range: 240 feet; Duration: 6 turns
This spell gives the Magic-User the ability to project an image
of himself up to 240 feet away, and all spells and the like used
thereafter appear to originate from the Projected Image.
Reincarnation A spell to bring a dead character back to life
in some other form. The form in which the character is
reincarnated is dependent upon his former alignment (Law,
Neutrality or Chaos) using the diagram on pg 8 as an
example. Or the Dungeon Master may determine the outcome
by his own means. The reincarnated character must play as the
creature and its alignment. If he comes back as a man,
determine which class, and roll a six-sided die to determine
which level in that class and similarly check level for
reincarnation as an elf, dwarf or halfling.
Repulsion Range: 120 feet; Duration: 6 turns
A spell which enables the user to cause objects or entities to
move in a course opposite from their intended course towards
him.

This spell allows the Cleric lower the saving throws of his
opponents. The prayer affects an area of 20 square feet. It
lowers the saving throws of those within the area by 5% (1
point) plus 5% for every ten levels the Cleric has gained, i.e. an
11th level Cleric lowers the saving throws by 10%.
Remove Curse This spell is the same as that for Magic-
Users.
Speak with Dead A spell which allows the user to converse
with a dead body, the Cleric being able to ask three questions.
Note that the length of time the creature has been dead will be
a consideration. Up to 7th level Clerics can only converse with
recent dead (within 1-4 days). Up to 12th level Clerics can
converse with creatures dead (within 1month). The referee will
answer the three questions asked in any reasonable form he
desires, riddles being recommended!
FOURTH LEVEL CLERIC SPELLS
Create Water This spell gives the Cleric the ability to create
a supply of drinkable water sufficient for a party of a dozen
men and horses for one day. The quantity doubles for every
level above the 8th the Cleric has attained.
Cure Serious Wounds This spell is similar to the Cure Light
Wounds spell, but the effects are double, two dice are rolled
and one is added to each die; the result is the number of hit
points restored.
Neutralize Poison Duration: 1 turn
A spell to counter the harmful effects of poison. ** Note that it
will not aid a character killed by poison, however. It will affect
only one object.
Protection from Evil, 10' radius This spell is the same as
that for Magic-Users.
Speak with Plants Range: 30 feet; Duration: 6 turns.
This spell allows the Cleric to speak with all forms of plant life,
understanding what they say in reply. Plants spoken to will
obey the Clerics commands such as Part! in order to allow

snakes, with a 50% chance that they will be poisonous.
From 2-16 snakes can be conjured (roll two eight-sided dice).
He can command these conjured snakes to perform
as he orders.
FIFTH LEVEL CLERIC SPELLS
Commune A spell which puts the Cleric in touch with the
powers above and asks for help in the form of answers to three
questions. Communing is allowed but once each week
maximum; referee's option as to making less frequent. Veracity
and knowledge should be near total. Once per year a special
communing should be allowed wherein the Cleric can ask
double the number of questions.
Create Food A spell with which the Cleric creates sustenance
sufficient for a party of a dozen for one game day. The
quantity doubles for every level above the 8th the Cleric has
attained.
Dispel Evil Duration: 1 turn
Similar to a Dispel Magic spell, this allows a Cleric to dispel
any evil sending or spell within a 30 foot radius. It functions
immediately.
Insect Plague Range: 480 feet; Duration:1 game day
By means of this spell the Cleric calls to him a vast cloud of
insects and sends them where he will, within the spell range.
They will obscure vision and drive creatures with less than three
hit dice off in rout. The dimensions of the Insect Plague are 36
square feet. ** Note this spell is effective only above ground.
Quest This is similar to the Geas, except that the character
sent upon a Quest by the Cleric is not killed by failure to carry
out the service. However, the Cleric may curse him with
whatever he desires for failure, and the referee should decide if
such a curse will take effect if the character ignores the Quest,
basing the effectiveness of the curse on the phrasing of it and
the alignment and actions of the character so cursed.
Raise Dead The Cleric simply points his finger, utters the
incantation, and the dead person is raised. This spell works
with men, elves, halflings and dwarves only. For each level the
Cleric has progressed beyond the 8th, the time limit for
resurrection extends another four days. Thus, an 8th level Cleric
can raise a dead body up to four days, a 9th level Cleric can
raise a dead body up to eight days, and so on. Naturally, if the
character's Constitution was weak, the spell will not bring him
back to life.
The Finger of Death Range: 120 feet
Instead of raising the dead, this spell creates a death ray which
will kill any creature unless a saving throw is made (where
applicable). (A Cleric-type may use this spell in a life-or-death
situation, but misuse will immediately turn him into an Anti-
Cleric.)
