13th Age - Foolz!

double-strength, earning them large-style stats.
[xx]
level: How extraordinary you are, from 1,
promising beginner, to 10, world-renowned
hero.
magic items: Special items that give
characters advantages and bonus powers. True
magic items are alive, with their own distinct
personality quirks that are communicated to
their users.
miss: When your attack roll isn’t high
enough, you don’t get a hit, but you usually get
miss damage or some other effect. An attack on
the 13th Age-scale is a serious threat, whether
with a sword or a lightning bolt, so even a
“miss” can deal some damage (but not if you
fumble). [xx]
miss damage: Damage dealt on a miss. Big
daily attacks often deal half damage. A playercharacter’s
at-will attacks typically deal miss
damage equal to that character’s level. It sucks
to miss, but at least you move the battle
forward. [xx]
Mental Defense: A defense stat, the number
that an attacker must roll to hit a target with
mental manipulation, psychic attacks, stealth,
trickery, obfuscation, and the like. [xx]
mob: A group of identical mooks. [xx]
mod, modifier: Many d20 rolls add the
modifier from one of your character’s ability
scores to the roll. The modifier for an ability
score equals your ability score minus 10, divided
by 2, rounded down. All the character attacks
that say they add an ability to the attack or
damage roll are actually adding the modifier
from that ability, but we decided we didn’t want
to write mod or modifier thousands of times so
we’re explaining it as the default. [xx]
mook: The lowest scale of monster,
equivalent to a fifth of a regular monster’s
threat, except at low levels, where they’re a
third. GMs use them by the dozen. The horde of
mooks has a single pool of hit points, letting
powerful attacks cleave through them in twos
and threes. [xx]
move action: Usually moving to engage a
nearby enemy, to get away from an enemy
engaging you, to climb, or to do whatever you
need to do short of attacking. [xx]
natural: When talking of attack rolls or other
checks with a d20, the natural result is what you
get with the roll itself, before adding any
modifiers.
nearby: By default, all the participants in a
battle are nearby each other. That means that
they can get to each other with a move action, if
they can navigate any obstacles in the way. If
there’s a reason for someone to be farther out,
they are far away. [xx]
oil: Oils are special items that confer a magic
bonus to a weapon, spellcasting implement, or
piece of armor. The bonus lasts for one battle.
[xx]
opportunity attack: An attack you make
when an enemy gives you a chance to hit it,
usually by moving away from you without
disengaging or by casting a spell when engaged
with you. It’s a free action. [xx]
per day: See daily and full heal-up.
per battle: Some character talents, powers,
and spells can be used one time per battle, while
others can be used a limited number of times.
After using a per battle feature, you get it back
with a quick rest or full heal-up.
Physical Defense: A defense stat, the
number that an attacker must roll to hit a target
with poison, a bull rush, a fireball, or other
physical attacks without weapons. [xx]
pop free: When you pop free from an
enemy, you’re no longer engaged with them.
Unlike disengage actions, this isn’t an action, it’s
a change in your situation. When you pop an
enemy free of you, they’re no longer engaged
with you. [xx]
potion: Potions are special items that
provide a magic effect to their drinker,
especially healing. [xx]
