Editing Monsters Under the Bedrock (section)

== Rules Stuff ==

=== Task Resolution ===
All tests are on 2d6, plus any relevant Attribute or Career. The target number is always 9.

On a 2, you have failed with a focus and intensity normally seen only in successes. On a 12, you may <strike>spend a Hero Point to</strike> do something entirely bonkers.

=== Combat ===
To Hit: 2d6+Combat Skill, -target Defense

Damage: Weapon Die+Strength, -target Armor

Rolling a 12 to hit allows you to spend a Hero Point to momentarily become a terrifying killing machine.

You may opt to go on the defensive, doubling your Defense for one turn at the cost of all other actions.

=== Hero Points ===
You may spend a Hero Point for any of the following effects:

* Add +1 to <strike>a damage</strike> any roll
* Prevent death when below 0 HP (bringing you up to 0, alive but unconscious)
* ...probably more as I invent them

Expending a Hero Point calls for the description of exceptional effort on the part of the spender, from mere physical exertion to uttering an oath to/at The Gods.

=== Advancement Points ===
They're XP. It's not that fancy.

Attributes (Strength, Agility, Mind and Appeal) can be increased at a rate of [Current Rank +1]. One XP can raise a Combat Abilities or Careers by one.
