</TABLE>


== Arcane Training (●) ==

 Effect: This merit allows the use of Arcane order specific merits and spells. This merit must be gained before any of said merits and spells are gained.
 


== Armor Proficiency (●●●) ==

 Effect: Taking this merit lowers the speed and defense penalty's for all armor, but not shields. The speed penalty of armor is lowered by 3 while the defense penalty is lowered by 1. This merit can lower penalty's to 0 but doesn't give a bonus to speed nor defense.
 


== Block Recovery (●●) ==

 Effect: When initiating a blocking maneuver, you no longer lose your next attack action.
 


== Clever Disarm (●●●) ==

 Effect: The clever disarm merit functions the same as disarm merit (pg. 110) in the nwod core rulebook but brawl is used instead of weaponry for disarming. Additionally, on a successful disarm the attacker can choose to take the weapon into her own hands.
 


== Endurance (●) ==

 Effect: This merit enables your character to withstand tiring feats of stamina. A character with this merit doesn't tire when running or walking extended distances and can outlast most mortals who don't have a similar resolve. Exact use and benefit of this merit falls under the ST's discretion.
 


== Die Hard (●●) ==

 Prerequisite: Endurance
 Effect: This merit grants a +2 die bonus for saving against unconsciousness.
 


== Exotic Proficiency (●●) ==

 Effect: This merit provides the necessary training needed to wield an exotic weapon or shield. This merit may be taken multiple times, each time providing proficiency for a different weapon or shield.
 


== Fast Reload (●●) ==

 Effect: This merit allows a faster reload time with crossbows or otherwise. The merit lowers the action time of reloading by one step. The steps are from Full>Instant>Move>Free. For instance, a crossbow requires a move action to reload, and the merit would then lower the action to a free action.
 


== Hafting (●●) ==

 Effect: This merit allows the use of a reach weapon at close range without penalty. However, the defense bonus loss from reach weapons still applies at close range.
 


== Scorpion Strike (●●●●●) ==

 Prerequisite: Hafting
 Effect: With this merit, whenever a enemy enters the range of your reach weapon you can score a free attack on them. This attack must be immediately used and cannot perform as an all-out-attack nor as any other combat action (like trip) other than a melee attack.
 


== Improved Shield Bash (●●●●) ==

 Effect: When making an attack with a shield, you retain your ability to block an incoming attack for that round. Additionally, add 1 to your die pool while using a shield to make a melee attack.
 


== Martial Training (●) ==

 Effect: This merit allows the use of Martial order specific Merits or 'Techniques'. This merit must be gained before any of said Merits are gained.
 


== Mounted Combat (●●●) ==

 Effect: Your character can ride a mount and perform an unrelated action (e.g., use a weapon, punch another passenger) in the same turn. Ride rolls may still be necessary for dangerous maneuvers or situations.
 


== Charge (●●●●) ==

 Prerequisite: Mounted Combat
 Effect: When using a mount to charge an enemy, add 2 lethal damage to a successful attack while doing so. This damage is added in addition to the normal attack pool.
 


== Ride-by-Attack (●●) ==

 Prerequisite: Mounted Combat
 Effect: This merit allows you to move both before and after a mounted melee attack. Total movement for the round can't exceed double your mounted movement.
 


== Offhanded Block (●●●●) ==

 Prerequisite: Fighting style: Two-weapons
 Effect: This merit enables the use of block (as if with a shield) with a offhanded weapon. The effective “block” rating is equal to the offhanded weapon's damage rating.
 



== Power Attack (●●) ==

 Effect: When performing an all out attack, add 3 dice to the attack pool instead of 2.
 


== Improved Grapple (●●) ==

 Prerequisite: Power attack
 Effect: This merit adds 2 to the die pool of brawl checks made when initiating, maintaining or trying to perform maneuvers in a grapple.
 


== Sunder (●●) ==

 Prerequisite: Power attack
 Effect: This merit awards 2 bonus dice to attack rolls made on weapons and armor.
 


== Improved Sunder (●●●) ==

 Prerequisite: Power attack, Sunder
 Effect: Weapon attacks on weapons and armor gain the 9 again trait. Sundering weapons (such as the sword breaker) gain the 8 again trait instead.
 


== Point Blank Shot (●●●●) ==

 Effect: When using a ranged weapon at short range, gain 1 additional bonus dice to damage.
 


== Long Shot (●●) ==

 Prerequisite: Point blank shot
 Effect: Range on bows, crossbows and thrown weapons is increased by 1.5x original amount.
 


== Precise Shot (●●) ==

 Prerequisite: Point blank shot
 Effect: When firing at a target with cover, lower the cover level by 1 step. Complete> Substantial> Partial> Bare. (See cover pg. 162)
 


== Shot on the Run (●●) ==

 Prerequisite: Point blank shot
 Effect: This merit allows you to move both before and after a ranged attack. Total movement cannot exceed your speed.
 


== Run (●●●●) ==

 Effect: This merit allows you to travel up to twice your speed as a single action or three-times your speed as a full action.
 


== Two-weapon Defense (●●●) ==

 Prerequisite: Fighting style: Two-weapons
 Effect: This merit grants a +1 to defense when holding a weapon in each hand.
 


== Weapon Specialty (●●●) ==

 Effect: This merit grants +1 bonus damage with a specific weapon selected when this merit is bought.

NWoD Fantasy:D20 Conversion

2017-12-26T13:27:34Z

Storyjesse:

If you have D20 characters already created that you would like to convert to use with NWoD Fantasy, a good place to start is with their attributes.

For characters and/or monsters with scores above 8 it seems to work quite well to map STR, DEX and CON directly to Strength, Dexterity and Stamina using the table below:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"
!D20!!nWoD
|-
|8-9||1
|-
|10-11||2
|-
|12-13||3
|-
|14-15||4
|-
|16-17||5
|-
|18-20||6
|-
|21-25||7
|-
|26-30||8
|-
|31-35||9
|-
|36-40||10
|-
|41-45||11
|}

INT, WIS & CHA require a little judgment on the part of the storyteller/GM/DM depending on the type of character being converted. Start by thinking about what sort of character this is and prioritizing their Physical, Social, Mental categories. I.e. If I'm converting a [http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/monstrous-humanoids/gargoyle Common Gargoyle]: STR 15, DEX 14, CON 16, INT 6, WIS 11, CHA 7. I can see clearly that it's traits are weighted Physical then Mental and lastly Social. I usually map INT directly to Intelligence just like STR, DEX, etc above and leave Resolve and Wits blank for the time being.

Next I decide on the Power level of the character/monster. A standard starting level character in a "Standard Fantasy" D20 Campaign has a total of 75 points of abilities distributed between STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS & CHA. A standard starting level character in nWoD has a total of 15 points of traits, 4+5+6 dots distributed between the nine traits Strength, Dex, Stamina, Inteligence, Wits, Resolve, Presence, Manipulation & Composure. This gives us the beginnings of a ratio for equivalent power levels between the two systems.

Add up the D20 Character's total ability points and divide that number by 75. Then times the result by 15 to get the total number of trait points for the character in nWoD

There is also a "Potency" table on p142 of the "[https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/168428/Chronicles-of-Darkness Chronicles of Darkness]" nWoD core rule book which assigns ten "Potency" levels to various total trait ranges. For example a traits total of 30 is potency level 4. Have a look at your player characters' traits totals and then decide how much stronger or weaker the character your converting should be compared to them. This provides you with a good double check to make sure the converted character will fit into your campaign the way you want it to.

Once you've determined the trait point total for the character your converting you can simply add up the traits for Strength, Desterity, Stamina and Inteligence that you've already allocated and then disperse the remaining amongst the characters Wits, Resolve, Presence, Manipulation and Composure.

For scores below 8 things get trickier. This page is a work in progress. Please add to it if you have good ideas. ;-)
