 Some more details
Harper’s Quest is designed to be extremely light on rules. So feel
free to modify or add your own. This game should be relatively
fast and fun so don’t get hung up if something doesn’t make
sense, just decide and keep it going.
Encounter modifiers
If you are unlucky enough to fail the dexterity check and strength
check on a door you might be subject to +1 or +2 on your next
encounter roll. This effect only lasts one room.
Item and spell Use
Spells and items are acquired in the dungeon. Using items or
spells during battle takes up one turn. Items can be used outside
battle at any time. Casting a spell requires a successful
Intelligence check, rolling higher than your intelligence means the
spell failed and your turn ends.
Treasure
When you successfully find treasure, roll 1D6 to determine the size
then roll the associated number of D6 to determine the quantity.

Combat and Encounters
Combat is resolved by rolling a d20. If the roll is greater than
the monster’s AC, it is a hit. Roll your damage die and subtract
that from the monster’s HP. Under easy and normal difficulty
you always attack first. On hard difficulty roll 1D6 for each side
for initiative with the higher number going first.
Optional rule: Blade Locking
During combat, roll 1d20 for each combatant at the same time.
Attacks at or above AC hit but if rolls match or are within 1 (ex. 2 &
3) you’re “blade locked.” Roll 1d6 for each combatant, highest wins
the standoff, and rolls for damage; no dodging. Attacks occur at the
same time. If you kill an opponent in a round, they can attack during
that round
Optional rule: Equally Matched Encounters
If both you and the opposing monster miss you attack 3 times,
you’re considered equally matched. At this point, roll against your
intelligence, if you roll lower than your intelligence, you’ve
outwitted your opponent and convinced them to take a bribe. Give
them one item or 50 gold and the battle is over.
