Due to not having a players guide and trying not to make things too complicated the ability scores will go from 1 to 100. The number can be picked or rolled (add the total of 5 20 sided dice or 2 10 sided percentile dice). The ability number won't be modified due to race so treat the number as a generic number. Note: The ability number can be raised due to using a magical item or gem. Add 10 for each enhancement to your roll for each ability put the enhanced number in parentheses. Enhanced numbers can exceed 100. When the item or gem is no longer being used the ability number goes back to a lower value or to it's original value. See Gem Potential Powers in the "Dragon Lance" Form info topic. Use your imagination as to how the abilities enhanced number effects your character.

History -

Initiative: Generally order of action is determined by dexterity, higher numbers go first, and so on, typically in battles. A group leader if any can issue orders that effect inituative.

Defense:
Common defenses include resistance, immunities, or vulnerabilities.
1. Amor Class - How hard it is to land a sigificant blow with an attack using a weapon or magical effect that acts like a weapon. Examples: High speed, intelligence, able to dodge well, and wear heavy armor or a shield that is difficult to penetrate.
2. Fortitude - Inherent toughness, mass, and resilience of a creature. Examples: Able to defend against effects of disease, poison, and forced movements.
3. Reflex - Ability to predict attacks or to deflect or dodge an attack. It can be useful against attacks that effect an area.
4. Will - Ability to defend against effects that can disorient, confuse, or overpower the mind. It also measures self-control, strength of will, and devotion.
5. Armor -
a. Light Armor:
1. Cloth Armor - Jackets, mantels, robes, and padded
vests. Can have a protective
magic spell on them.
2. Leather Armor - Sturdier than Cloth Armor. Can protect
vital areas with
multiple layers of boiled leather plates.
3. Hide Armor - Thicker and heavier than leather armor and
is composed of skin
from any creature that has a tough hide ranging from a
bear to a dragon. Sometimes contrists precision
movements.
b. Heavy Armor:
1. Chainmail - Metal rings woven together into a shirt,
leggins, and a hood which makes up together a suit of
chainmail. Good protection put it can reduce mobility
and agility.
2. Scale Armor - Consists of overlapping pieces of highly
durable material such as steel or even dragon scales.
It's heavier but easier to wear than chainmail. With
straps and buckles it allows for flexablilty and agility.
3. Plate Armor - Heaviest of all the armors. It's made up
of shaped plates of metal which gives the best
protection but it slows down movement and reaction
time.
6. Shield - Their are 2 shield types: Light, which can be used while carring something else and heavy which has to be held by the hand only. Magic can make a heavy shield lighter.

General Attacks:
Typically include Bull rush, grab, melee basic attack, opportunity attack, and ranged basic attack. Note: The outcome of an attack or battle will be either dealt with case by case or in a forum post by forum post manner. In either case the Game Master (Guild's Captain) will have the final say. Ability numbers and type of weapons including spells will be used in a general fashion and open to some interpretation. In other words it won't be math based but will be determined by using the Guild members imagination. Refer to the other RPG's in this Guild for an example of a "casual" attack or battle. I'm counting on the battle posts to interesting, imaginative, and fair. No God Mongering unless your character happens to be a Demi-God, Goddess, Angel, Demon, or Devil.

a. Simple Weapons - Clubs, quarterstaffs, daggers, and
crossbows. Most adventurers can use these weapons.

Gem Potential Powers:

It can help channel a certain type of power - Arcane, Divine, Martial, Primal, Psionic, Shadow. Or it can benefit the wearer if it's their Birthstone.

Note: In most D & D games the only use for a gem is for beauty or used for currency. In the "Dragon Lance" RPG I'm including additional powers that can be used by wearing, holding, or adding the Gem to an item to increase it's power potential. Adding a gem to an item will require either a blacksmiths ability or an alchemist ability.
