The Great Commorragh Campaign Rules

Back to The Great Commorragh Campaign Main

Glory

Glory is calculated normally as per the Pendragon rules.

Glory per enemy defeated is noted in the statblock for that enemy.

You also gain the amount of Pain you have left at the end of any Battle (includes Skirmishes but not simple combat) times 5.

Derived Stats

Most are calculated normally but MOVE is increased to reflect the longer timespan of combat rounds being used. It is thus (STR+DEX)/2 instead of (STR+DEX)/10

An additional stat has also been added called Parry and it is equal to DEX/2.

Combat

Parry is added to ARM just like a shield bonus, and indeed shields simply give a bonus to parry in this game.

Modifiers

Modifiers are being reduced in an effort to make the base skills more important. 10s become 5s and 5s become 2s except for Passions which still give +10 or -5.

Paired Weapons

Using two weapons gives you +2 to your Parry and you may choose to use both special effects of your weapons by making all rolls with the lower of the two skills. Wyches have access to the Wych Weapons skill which combines two skills and so they get no penalty when using those, and anyone may use identical weapons at full skill since there is no extra special ability to gain.

Paired knives gain +1d6 damage (negating their normal penalty) so they are slightly less effective than a sword.

Landholding Winter Phase

Follow these steps for each manor individually.

Personal Presence: If you are present during the conflicts roll Battle (automatic if you didn't adventure the past year, otherwise roll 1d6, if you roll over the number of adventures or raids you went on you were there). Crit: negate any conflict rolled (treat as no effect), Succeed halve the d20 roll (may result in No Effect), Fail: No modification, Fumble: +1d6 Fate. In addition if you Crit or Succeed you gain 50 Glory and reduce the Hate (Landlord) of your turf depending on the severity of the attacks: 1 for Raid, 2 for Pillage, 3 for Plunder.

Fortifications: If your manor has a DV value roll your Siege (or Steward's siege), if you Succeed or Crit subtract the DV from the d20 roll for Property Destruction. If you Fail subtract half the DV (round down). If you Fumble subtract nothing and lose half your DV due to damage from the fighting. If you suffer hellions your defenses play no part, don't roll and don't apply modifiers, they are too ubiquitous and maneuverable to be affected and too lightly armed to cause permanent damage.

Concern

Make a simple check of Concern (Turf). Subtract the Hate (Landlord) of the manor rolled for from your rating for this roll. If the modified result is zero you fail on a roll of 1-19 and Fumble on a 20. If the result is negative you increase the chance of a Fumble by the absolute value. IE if you have a -3 you Fumble on 17-20 and fail on all other results.

• Crit: -10 Fate
• Success: -5 Fate
• Fail: No effect
• Fumble: +5 Fate

Misfortune

Total up your Fate and record it for the next step.

Step C

Roll an opposed check of your Steward's Commerce vs the Fate for that manor. Yes, this can be ugly. Apply the modifier to your Total Income from Step A.

• Crit vs:
  • Crit: Normal (x1)
  • Success: Good (x1.5)
  • Fail: Excellent (x2)
  • Fumble: Incredible (x2.5)

• Success vs:
  • Crit: Bad (x.5)
  • Success: Major: Normal (x1) -- Minor: Meager (x.75)
  • Fail: Good (x1.5)
  • Fumble: Excellent (x2)

• Fail vs:
  • Crit: Very Bad (x.25)
  • Success: Bad (x.5)
  • Fail: Normal (x1)
  • Fumble: Good (x1.5)

• Fumble vs:
  • Crit: Negligable (x.15)
  • Success: Very Bad (x.25)
  • Fail: Bad (x.5)
  • Fumble: Meager (x.75)

Step D

Add your incomes from Step C to your treasure then deduct all expenses from Upkeeps and the next Cycle's lifestyle. If you don;t have enough money then you will need to Impost your manors, take out a loan, cut back on your Upkeeps or Exploit your land.
