How to kill things! Adventurers are so named because their life is filled with Adventure! (And Exclamation Points! And SEMI-RANDOM capitalization!) According to the Thunderhawk Vulgar Dictionary (the authority on the High Tongues of all Ham), Adventure is defined as: Adventure (add VENT sure): noun. 1) a quest or undertaking with a large amount of danger and the possibility of great reward. 2) A word used to justify the wholesale slaughter of subterranean sentient races; see also “restoring liquidity to the economy.” 3) A self-contained module explaining all of the hazards that a group of heroes will encounter in a night of gaming. 4) The fastest way to die known to Man – and an even faster way to die known to Ork. Adventurers live in a world of danger, destruction, and death. Common sense (not that Adventurers have any, they go down into dark holes to fight dragons for gods' sake) dictates that it is much better to be on the giving end of danger, destruction, and death – so … TOHIT In Warhamster, the roll Adventurers make when attempting to smite their opponents is called TOHIT. (Pronounced like the warbling call of the titmouse: “Too-whit.” It’s fun to make the warbling call of the titmouse. It’s even more fun to say “titmouse.”) The DEFENSE of a TOHIT roll equals the ARMOR DEFENSE of the target. When using Melee Weapons, the Adventurer attempts to beat the target’s ARMOR DEFENSE against their STRENGTH. When using a ranged weapon or Kung-Fu, the Adventurer needs to roll their REFLEXES. Most of the time, you will roll against ARMOUR DEFENSE, though a diceMaster may have you roll against AGILITY DEFENSE or something else if the situation deems it necessary. Example: Sir Tobias the Paladin wants to attack a Troll. The troll has ARMOUR DEFENSE of 12. Sir Tobias rolls his STRength DIE and adds his level, and hopes to roll higher than 12. WEAPON SKILLS Adventurers generally separate the world of weapons into three broad categories: Cool Weapons, Ranged Weapons, and everything else – which suck. “Suckey” weapons include: Daggers, Darts, Clubs, Little Swords, fists, claws, teeth, barstools, etc. Most weapons that do less than 1d6 damage are considered to suck. Using a Cool or Ranged Weapon without the appropriate skill adds a PENALTY DIE to the roll. Example: Lump, Sir Tobias’ faithful henchman, decides to shoot at a kobold (ARMOR DEFENSE 6) with a crossbow. Lump has REFLEXES d8, but doesn’t have the skill RANGED WEAPONS. Lump rolls 1d8 + his level (3) and needs to get higher than 6. Since he isn’t trained with Ranged Weapons, he has to roll a penalty d8, and keep the lower roll. DAMAGE Now that we know how TOHIT, we get to determine how much Damage (DAM) is done by a successful strike. When you hit something, roll the DAM of your Weapon and subtract that from your opponent’s HITS.
Example: Sir Tobias sticks his honking sword (DAM 1d12) in the troll, and rolls a 7 – dealing 7 DAM. The troll has 12 HITS left. The dM subtracts 7 from the Troll’s HITS, leaving it with only 5 HITS. UNARMED COMBAT If an Adventurer wants to attack without a weapon, they do 1d2 DAM, but they are at a big disadvantage! Since the Adventurer has to get so close to their ENEMY, their foe gets a BONUS DIE on all TOHIT rolls against them. This explains why Adventurers prefer to stab Critters with long sharp and pointy things, and it has nothing to do with so-called “inadequacy” issues, Doctor. Well, unless they have a Little Sword. If the Adventurer has KUNG- FU they disregard this penalty, and probably feel pretty good about themselves in other ways. DYING! When an Adventurer or a Critter reaches 0 HITS they fall unconscious, and stay that way until healed (either from magic, potions, or camping). If an Adventurer is reduced below 0 HITS, they need to make a STRENGTH roll (DIFFICULTY equal to the amount of DAM below 0) or they die! If you die, don’t worry; see the “Power of Plot Contrivance” House Rule on page XX. HEALING If an adventurer doesn’t have any healing potions left, they gain their BEEF in HITS whenever they CAMP or go to TOWN. All other Healing comes from TOWN Actions, POWERS, or VISITING A TEMPLE.
