they can only be surprised with a
chance of 1-in-6.
Steel and Silver
All Witchers carries a couple of
swords, one made from meteoric
iron and one made from the finest
silver, specially crafted for their pro-
fession. While fighting with one of
these weapons, a Witcher gains cer-
tain benefits according to the school
he follows:
▶ School of the Bear: +1 AC bonus.
▶ School of the Cat: +1 Initiative
bonus.
▶ School of the Wolf: +1 Damage
bonus.
Starting at 6th level, the swords are
considered magical for the purpose
of overcoming a monster special de-
fense.
In case a Witcher lose one of these
swords, he could replace it at a cost
varying from ten to twelve times the
normal cost of a common two-han-
ded sword and this will equire an
amount of time at the Referee di-
screction.
Witcher’s Lore
Starting at 1st level, a Witcher has a
2-in-6 chance of knowing some-
thing about the specific nature of a
monster, a sorcery or a curse. The
exact nature of this informations
and the eventual advantages they
provides are left for the Referee to
decide, but only if the party use the
informations to develop some kind
of strategy.
Signs and Potions
Witchers are able to use a kind of
rudimentary arcane knowledge that
manifest through the use of Signs
and Potions to somehow replicate
the effect of certain spells.
In Game terms the use of both of
them works in the same way as the
Arcane Magic with the following
differences:
▶ A Witcher doesn’t need a Spell-
book but he knows all the Signs and
Potion availables for each level he
can Cast.
▶ To memorize them, he simply
have to meditate for an hour or so
after an 8-hours rest.
▶ Due to their training in withstan-
ding various types of drugs and to-
xines, only Witchers can use the po-
tions brewed with this method.
Anyone else who will try to drink
one of them must succeed a ST ver-
sus poison or suffer some kind of
bad collateral effect at the Referee
discrection.
▶ Lastly, due to the unstable and vo-
latile nature of the components used
to brew these potions, they only last
for a day before losing their effecti-
veness.
