Editing Morturi: Beyond the Arena (section)

=Roleplaying=

The ''Morturi Te Salutant'' game doesn't provide any dice-based rules for carrying out non-combat tasks. There are no rules for socialisation, scholastic study, thievery and the like. Generally its recommended that any such activities are handled in an arbitrary fashion by the Imperator, based on common sense and storytelling. Roleplaying should generally be centred around that which doesn't require dice - face to face conversations, for example.

However, the simple rules system can be implemented as below, if Imperators think it appropriate, which can allow some dice-based outcomes to occur.

===The Skill Check===

A skill check is a single D6 roll. If the D6 rolls 5+, then the Gladiator succeeds at this task.

Palus Gladiators receive a +1 bonus to their roll, to represent their general competence. At Primus Palus rank, this is increased to a +2 bonus.

If a Gladiator's Role suggests that they ought to be good at this sort of task, they gain a further +1 bonus to their roll. For example, a Bestiarius is likely to be good at tracking and hunting animals, so would gain this bonus in tasks of this sort.

If the task is difficult, the Imperator can inflict a penalty to the roll, of between -1 to -3.

===The Competed Skill Check===

A competed skill check has opposed gladiators each making a single D6 roll. The highest roll wins.

Palus Gladiators receive a +1 bonus to their roll, to represent their general competence. At Primus Palus rank, this is increased to a +2 bonus.

If a Gladiator's Role suggests that they ought to be good at this sort of task, they gain a further +1 bonus to their roll. For example, a Praegenarius is good with people, so would gain a bonus in tasks to persuade or entertain.
