Warrior Enemies and NPCs (Gors, Orcs, Chaos Marauders, 50 coins (1/100) weigh 1 Enc if they are scattered in your
Chaos Warriors, Soldiers, Bestigors and higher) have an backpack. At 150 coins they become 2 Enc.
Attack-Characteristic of 2 and not 1. A coin purse (1/0) weighs 0 Enc empty but its maximum
Enc is 1, which means it can hold 2 Enc of coins (200 coins).
The coin purse would be half filled at 50 coins.
Putting a sling bag (2) with 20 arrows (1/10) inside a
backpack counts as if the backpack is filled with 2 Enc from
the arrows and 2 Enc from the (emptied) sling bag.
A backpack (Enc 3, holds 6) filled with 1000 coins (10 Enc)
when not worn on your back weighs 7 Enc (10+3-6=7).
Alfred is robbing a bank with SB 4 and TB 4. He can carry 12
Enc. With 3 of those backpacks, he would be overencum-
bered by 8 points (6+7+7=20 | 20-12= 8) and with a penalty
of -3M. That means he can carry about 3000 coins (roughly
75 kg / 150 lb) and can still move slowly with 1M remaining
and he could even carry his 2 pistols (1/2) on his hip
without reaching -4M.

6.3 RANGED COMBAT
6.3.1 RANGED AND SIZES
You gain 10x the size modifier in ranged attacks against
bigger and smaller targets (s. Table UT-01 p. 4).
6.3.2 RUNNING SHOT
After moving more than your free movement in a turn, you
gain a -10 penalty to all shots.
6.3.3 SHOOTING IN MELEE
Mechanical weapons may be fired at an opponent engaged
in melee combat with you at -20 (±0 for pistols). The enemy 6.6
may dodge or parry those attacks. You may also use your WS
to shoot gunpowder weapons in melee.
You may shoot a ranged weapon at another enemy, but your
engaged opponents gain an attack of opportunity after you
fired the weapon.
6.3.4 THROWING MISSES
When missing while throwing and the miss-distance is
important, the distance is 2d10 (pick lowest) in yard and
you cannot miss farther than half the throwing distance.
6.4 OVERRUN AND TRAMPLE
Characters can overrun smaller opponents. If you Charge
over or Run over a smaller enemy, your opponent must
succeed on an Ag-Test or you will knock them down and
they take damage. This counts as an attack if they are only 1
size smaller than you, but is free if they are even smaller.
This includes knocked down enemies of your own size as
they count as 1 size smaller. You count as engaged to
opponents that succeeded the Ag-Test.
The damage can be anything from normal boots counting as
unarmed, natural weapons such as hooves, wheels, talons,
or medium/heavy armour boots/pauldrons using the
knuckle duster profile. You don’t gain the damage bonuses
from Charge-Attacks when trampling (s. 6.2.2).
6.5 MOUNTED COMBAT
Shooting from the back of a mount results in a -10 penalty
for each Move-Action the mount will use during the turn.
Mounts take actions at the same time as their rider. This
means Swift-Attacks require a ranged weapon or a mount
that has not taken any (additional) Move-Actions this turn.
6.5.1 NEW ACTION: MOUNTED CHARGE (FULL ACTION)
When mounted and charging or running in a line (roughly)
past one or multiple enemies, you may attack a number of
enemies in melee up to your Attack-Characteristic. You must
select a new target for each attack. The first attack is made
with a +10 modifier, but the bonus is reduced by 10 for each
subsequent enemy.
If you manage to hit an enemy smaller than your mount, the
enemy cannot trigger an attack of opportunity on you
should you leave their engagement range, as they are busy
parrying, dodging or taking damage.
Your mount may overrun as many enemies as its Attack-
characteristic (See ‘Overrun and Trample’ ch. 6.4).
To get your mount to Overrun additional enemies, you must
succeed on a Ride (Horses, Wolves, Bears), Command
(Ogres, Familiars, Dragons), or Drive (Chariots, Wagons)-
Test for each enemy. You may trade as many of the rider’s
attacks as you want to attempt to overrun an equal amount
of enemies with your mount. Enemies 2 or more sizes
smaller than the mount are not limited by number and do
not require a test.
A mount trained for combat or a predatory mount are
needed for this or all tests become at least hard (-20).
GRAPPLING
To enter a grapple, you have to announce it before doing an
attack. You need one free hand to grapple an opponent.
Weapons that allow the use of an open hand (Shields,
Knuckle Dusters, Punch Daggers etc.) are exempt from this.
If you succeed on the attack and it is not successfully parried
or dodged, your opponent may attempt an Ag-Test to escape.
On the beginning of your turn when grappling or when
being grappled, roll an opposed S-Test (Full Action). If you
win, you gain a number of grappling points equal to your A-
characteristic. You lose a point if you failed on your
individual S-Test or if the enemy succeeded on their
individual S-Test (min. 1 remaining). You gain 1 point if you
are larger than your opponent.
You can spend 1 point to do the following:
❖ Deal damage (unarmed or small weapon if equipped)
❖ Breaking free of the grapple. Grappling the opponent im-
mediately after costs another point. You are refunded 1

form during the grapple and let go immediately after.
❖ Kick an enemy 2 yd/1 sq. away from you per point spent
(only possible when you are the grappler or have broken
free, and if you are not smaller than your opponent)
❖ Drag/push/roll yourself and your opponent to the ground
or in any direction by 1 square (2 yd)
❖ Disarm your opponent (requires Disarm or requires an-
other successful opposed S-Test)
❖ Pull out/pick up a suitable short 1 handed weapon (dag-
ger, knuckle duster, pistol etc.)
❖ 1 appropriate Half Action (max. 1/turn) like forcing your
hand over their mouth or casting a Half Action spell
Letting go is always free, if you are the grappler or broke
free. If you are the grappler, you can also let go immediately.
6.6.1 GRAPPLING AND SIZE
You cannot completely restrain a creature more than 1 size
larger than yourself, but you can disable the hit location.
Enemies only 1 size larger may take their turn normally or
roll the S-Test from 6.6. They can move normally if they
succeed on a free opposed S-Test against the grappler.
If the size difference 2 or more, you can climb on the enemy.
Enemies 1 size smaller can be picked up with a successful
opposed S vs S-Test. The grapple is broken upon failure.
8
 6.6.2 NEW ATTACK: TACKLE
Instead of simply grappling, you may try to tackle an enemy
of your size or smaller. On a success, both parties will be
knocked down and the opponent grappled. If you fail your
tackle, you will be knocked down and the enemy has to
succeed on an Ag- or S-Test (+10 for every DoF of the Tackle)
or be knocked down with you, but is not grappled.
7. Spellcasting & Familiars
7.1 HOLDING SPELLS
You can prepare an over-time spell with a casting number of
10 or lower, like Aethyric Armour or a blessing, by casting
the spell and holding on to it with a successful (1 HA) WP-
Test. You can release the spell as a free action on your turn.
This counts as the spellcast for your turn unless it is the first
turn of combat and you are not surprised.
You can hold onto a spell like this for 'Mag'x10 minutes.
Taking damage or other acts that break concentration cause
another WP-Test (difficulty determined by the GM). Failing
the initial or subsequent tests or attempting to cast another
spell, releases the spell immediately.
7.2 FAMILIARS
Familiar Talent effects on the wizard/witch do not stack.
Talents that do not have a specified range like Lucky Charm
or Link of Psyche have a maximum range of 1800m or 2000
yards (1 Scots mile). Binding and creating Familiars
Buying an animal suitable for being a familiar no longer
costs more than other animals of the same type.
When binding a familiar roll a Charm Animal-Test. The costs
for the ritual ingredients are 70 gc minus 5x the DoS of the
test.
Creating a familiar roll an Int-Test. The costs for familiar cre-
ation is 12d10 gc, but you can remove a number of the low-
est dice rolls equal to the DoS of the test.
Other than that the rules from the RoS apply.
7.2.1 MAGIC POWER (FAMILIAR TALENT REWORK)
Removed: The Magic Power Talent no longer grants +1 Mag
New: Range 48 yd
Your familiar can store up to your Mag-Characteristic in
spellcasting points for one turn. This can either be filled
with a successful Channelling-Test or by storing excess cast-
ing points from a successful spellcast up to your Mag-Char-
acteristic. It adds +1 to each casting die for rituals.
Example: rolling a 13 on a spell with a CN of 11 could store
up to 2 points in 1 familiar. When having 2 familiars with
Magic Power, 4 Mag and you scored a 21 on a CN11 spell,
you could store 4 points in one of your familiars.
8. Movement Overhaul
You gain free Movement equal to your twice your M in yd
each turn. Charge and Run actions have their range reduced
accordingly. Following Move-Actions cost 1 Half-Action and
add the same amount of Movement to your turn.
Effects that reduce your turn by 1 Half-Action, also reduce
the free movement by half the distance.
Movement can be split up during the turn.
8.1 PRONE EFFECTS
Being prone has the following effects:
❖ Enemies may trample you as if you were 1 size smaller
❖ Your Movement range is halved (rounded up)
❖ Ranged attacks against you gain -10 to hit
❖ Melee attacks and ranged attacks in melee range against
you gain +20 to hit
❖ You cannot make attacks of opportunity
❖ Your melee attacks, parries and dodges gain a -20 penalty
8.2 DELAY AND FREE MOVEMENT
You can only keep up to half of your free Movement for the
Delay-Action.
8.3 JUMPING AND LEAPING
You can jump once per turn as part of your movement.
Your basic jump range is your M in yards (half your Move-
ment range). If you do not run 4 yards (2sq.) in a line before
you jump, it is reduced to M/2 in yards.
1. When jumping, make a Strength (+0) Test.
2. If you succeed, you gain +1/3 yard (1 foot) for each DoS
up to 1 full yard. Each DoF reduces your jumping distance by
1 yard down to a minimum M/2 in yards.
3. Regardless of the test result you can choose to lunge after
you made the roll to gain 1 additional yard. This will knock
you down on impact. Owning the Swashbuckler-Talent also
adds 1 yard extra.
Vertical jumps use the same numbers but divide the dis-
tances by 3:
1 yard (90cm) becomes 1 foot (30cm) and
1 foot turns to 4 inches (10 cm).

9. Combat Items
9.1 ARMOUR
9.1.1 ARMOUR CRAFTSMANSHIP
Craftsmanship for armour confers the following benefits and
penalties:
Poor:
❖ Encumbrance when worn is increased by 1
Good:
❖ Encumbrance when worn is decreased by 1 (minimum 0)
❖ To gain the Encumbrance reduction, all underlying layers
of armour must also be at least Good craftsmanship
Best: additionally gains one of the following
❖ Durable (1) for each point of armour
❖ Unsettling (Full Scale, Plate and Hide Sets only)
❖ Damage reduction applies to fire damage, +30 to Tests to
put out fire on the covered location
❖ Ag penalty from medium armour is reduced by 5 for the
full set
❖ Ag penalty from heavy armour is reduced by 5 for the full
set - requires underlying best Medium Armour with the
same effect (still causes a 5% penalty to Ag)
❖ Critical Hit Values are reduced by 1 (Plate only)
❖ +10 bonus to breaking free from a grapple or snare (full
leather sets only, loses effect with extra layers)
9.1.2 HIDES AND MOOT LEATHERS
Hide armour merged into Studded Leather. Moot Leathers
give a +10 bonus to Concealment-Tests if they are at least
good craftsmanship.
9.1.3 HEAVY ARMOUR PENALTIES
Wearing heavy armour causes an additional -10 penalty to
Silent Move-Tests.
Heavy armour without medium armour underneath still
causes the -10 penalty to Agility.
9.1.4 ARMOUR MATERIALS
Ithilmar armour gains Durable (+1). They follow the normal
armour rules, apart from the fact, that none of them adds
the -10 modifier to Agility when worn, and scale and plate
do not cause the -1M penalty. Plate needs Ithilmar Mail
underneath to bring on its benefits. Ithilmar armour reduces

9.2 WEAPONS
New and Modified Weapons and Ammunition:
❖ Arbalest: a heavier crossbow with a steel prod
❖ Awl Pike: A difficult to use two-handed spear that is
meant to strike at joints and weak-points with an ar-
mour-breaking point.
❖ Blunderbuss: The range, damage and spread are depend-
ent on the ammunition used. Also see Faustschlag below.
❖ Grudge-Raker: A double-barrelled Dwarven Blunderbuss
(see above). There are only rumours about a 4-barrelled
variant (best craftsmanship).
❖ Clay Round Shot: Potentially lethal ammunition that is
safe(r) to use, but is mostly a danger to ducks and prac-
tice targets.
❖ Spear, Long: A large spear that needs to be wielded with
both hands.
❖ Spear, Short: A spear that reaches just past head-height of
a man, which can be used with one hand and a shield like
a hand weapon (no bonuses) or with two hands like a
quarterstaff, which gives it the defensive quality.
❖ Steel and Iron Shot: increased damage traded for a higher
misfire and jam chance that massively stress the barrels
and firing mechanisms.
❖ Faustschlag: Large single balls weighing 1/5lb (100g)
used in Blunderbusses and Grudge-Rakers. They are
faster to load and deal damage to a single target, but are
dangerous to use.
❖ Net: In addition to being snared, the creature trapped in-
side a net gains -10 to all tests to trying to free itself and
has its Movement-Characteristic reduced to 0.
❖ Two-Hand Weapon: Weapons requiring two hands that
are faster and more versatile than Great Weapons at the
expense of damage. These are longswords, longaxes, cav-
alry hammers, glaives, reinforced longspears etc.
❖ Whip: When hit, your opponent must succeed on a
Toughness-Test with +10 for each point of Armour on
the hit location, or lose 1 half action (not stackable).
❖ Windlass Siege Crossbow: (replaces Bellybow) a heavy
and cumbersome steel-prod crossbow with a windlass
reload mechanism that can shoot a bolt with great force
9.2.1 QUALITY: ARMOUR PIERCING
Multiple instances of Armour Piercing are additive.

New Attack: Precise Shot/Strike

Precise weapons are accurate enough to reliably hit armour
weak points. A Precise Called Shot/Strike gains an extra -20,
but may penetrate armour. (Head modifier: -30 total)
Precise called Shots/Strikes penetrate 1 point for every
Degree of Success up to a maximum of 3 (3 DoS) for melee
weapons and 1 (1 DoS) for ranged weapons. Ranged attacks
require the target to be in close range.
9.2.6 QUALITY: PUMMELLING
When you strike the head with a pummelling weapon, do an
S-Test. You gain -20 if the enemy is wearing a (plate) helmet.
If successful, the Enemy is dazed for 1 turn.
You gain +10 for S-Tests in Strike to Stun attempts.
9.2.7 QUALITY: SHRAPNEL
Weapons with the Shrapnel quality, roll a BS-Test.
All targets in the zone of fire must roll an Ag-Test or be hit
regardless of the BS-Test result. When the shooter’s BS-Test
and the targets Ag-Test are successful roll for damage twice
and pick the lowest damage.
9.2.8 QUALITY: SNARE
When struck by a weapon with this quality, a creature must
succeed on an Ag-Test or have their M-Characteristic re-
duced to 1 and Enemies gain +20 to WS-Tests trying to hit it.
A successful S- or Ag-Test can be used to escape (1 HA).
9.2.9 QUALITY: TIRING
Tiring resets after 1 round of not fighting in melee, during
an All-Out-attack or in a Mounted Charge.
9.3 WEAPON CRAFTSMANSHIP
Poor Craftsmanship Weapons give a -5 penalty to attacks.
Good Craftsmanship Weapons give a +5 bonus to attacks.
Best Craftsmanship melee weapons can add one of the
following as appropriate (e.g., no Pummelling Foils)
Ranged weapons gain all of the following bonuses by type.
Non-Repeating Cold Steel Weapons:
❖ Precise
❖ Weapons that are already Precise have the penalty for
Precise Shots reduced by 10 (s. 9.2.5)
Gunpowder Weapons:
❖ See Table UT-02 in ch. 9.5.2 pg. 12
Repeater Weapons (all kinds):
❖ Gain +2 bolts/barrels
❖ New action: Rapid Fire Swift-Attack (Full Action)
➢ You fire all your shots at a -10 penalty, but you also can
attack one more time in a Swift-Attack.
9.4 WEAPON MATERIALS
Weapons of Ithilmar gain Durable (+1) and Fast (Slow
weapons have the Slow removed instead). Fast weapons
gain Precise. Fast and Precise weapons gain Armour
Piercing. Ithilmar shields reduce the casting penalty from
using a shield by 1.
Gromril weapons cannot break by normal means and gain
+1 to their base damage.
They are usually Best craftsmanship, so they also gain a
bonus, see 9.3. They function as if they were magical.
9.5 GUNPOWDER WEAPONS
Most gunpowder weapons have a chance to jam and to mis-
fire/explode. Experimental has been merged.

9.5.3 EXPLOSIVE WEAPONS

Bombs and Incendiaries are Ordinary weapons, since they
are easy to use and there is no career with the SWG (Explo-
sive)-Talent anyway. Manufacturing them requires Trade
(Gunsmith). They do not gain the benefits from the Master
Gunner, Sure Shot or Mighty Shot Talents.
Bombs detonate in an area of 10 yards diameter (not ra-
dius), like the large template.
Explosive weapons use Jam/Misfire as they are Unreliable
only that instead of jamming, the weapon is dropped at your
feet and goes out. Misfires explode in your hands.

10.1 GENERAL EQUIPMENT
❖ Flask: Holds enough liquid (8 oz, 1/2 pint, 250ml) for
draughts and larger amounts of liquid spell ingredients.
When lined with lead, it protects the contents from mi-
nor chaos manifestations.
❖ Vial: Holds the amount for 1 potion or 1 small liquid spell
ingredient (1oz/30ml). When lined with lead, it protects
the contents from minor chaos manifestations.

tune point per day and the charm is expended once the

Lucky-Talent. It is always the last point available.
❖ Healing Poultice (rework): When healing with a healing
poultice, the target rolls an Average(+0) T-Test. If suc-
cessful, a lightly wounded target can roll 2d10 and pick
the higher result for healed W and heavily wounded tar-
gets can recover 1d10/2 W. On a failure, the healing fol-
lows the normal rules. The T-Test is made Easy (+20) if
the healer has the Surgery Talent. The poultice must be
applied out of combat. If the T-Test or the Heal-Test are
failed, the target loses 1 Wound.
❖ Hippogriff Egg: Finding a hippogriff that recently laid an
egg and bringing it to a knight in time is such a tedious
and hard work, that they are only available on commis-
sion and require a large group of mercenaries with spe-
cial skills over a long time. Success is not guaranteed.
❖ Pegasus Foal: Large breeders require a medium sized vil-
lage to even breed a small number of pegasi. The de-
mand is high. Only Bretonnian Knights (in Bretonnia) or
people with an Imperial license from a duke or an elec-
tor count or similar (in the Empire) are legally allowed
to purchase one.

ments. The wagon must be stationary to brew. Poor
Craftsmanship Wagons have a 1% chance each day of
travel to suffer the ‘Clumsy Fool’ brewing disaster, Good
quality wagons are not at risk of a disaster when going
top-speed and best quality wagons can be used while
travelling on a road – it’s still a bad idea to go at top
speed while brewing.
Smaller variants also exist at -10% price for each lab ta-
ble below 4.

10.2 TOOLS
❖ Ice: Ice can be found in summer stored in large under-
ground chambers of breweries, taverns and butcher
shops.
❖ Lock Picks (rework): Needed to pick locks. Picks break on
rolls of 96+ or when failing 1+ degrees for common, 2+
for good and 3+ degrees for best craftsmanship. Poor
quality lock picks always break on a failure. Best lock
picks also gain +5% on Pick-Lock-Tests and only turn
into Good craftsmanship instead of breaking.
❖ Potion Implements: A large array of vials, beakers, burn-
ers and fragile tools to create one batch of potions.
❖ Safe Cushioned Chest for Potion Implements: Large lead-
lined chests that can transport 1 set of potion imple-
ments and batches in progress safely and can load and
unload them quickly. They are always best quality.
❖ Safe Cold Lead Chest for potion ingredients: Small lead
chests that can hold up to 5 sets of ingredients for po-
tions and 20 lbs of ice (10 L). Cooled they double their
longevity to 6 months. Requires 2-20 lbs (1-10 kg) of ice
per week to keep cold (lasts 1-10 weeks when full).
10.3 POISONS
❖ Stone of Envy (Routine + 10): The fluids inside the mu-
tated fruit stone make a potion age rapidly by one sea-
son (3 months). Properly draining the stone releases
more juices making the potion age by one additional sea-
son per degree of success.
10.4 MOUNTS
❖ Arabyan Thoroughbred: It uses the characteristics of a
destrier, but it gains Fleet Footed (+1M), +5 to Int and
+10 to Wp as well as the Swashbuckler Talent.
