Rules
[These rules are inspired by Sol Foster's rules for his Blaze of Glory and Dashing Blades of Amber games.]
Characters:
The characters are pre-generated by the GM, and are built on 100
points, distributed among four stats:
- Intellect measures your mental quickness.
- Endurance measures your capacity for continuing on.
- Body measures your physical strength and reflexes.
- Combat measures your knowledge and skill at applying the techniques of personal combat, both unarmed and armed.
Each character will also have one primary skill (something they excel in) and two secondary skills (things they have above average abilities in).
Conflict Resolution:
Resolution is Karma-based (like that in the Amber Diceless RPG), with the appropriate stats being compared and the highest one winning, modified as needed by Drama (as determined by the GM). For this game one of the most important Drama elements will be how swashbuckling the character is being when they attempt the action.
