Editing Temple of flame


== Introduction ==

Imagine what it would be like if you were someone
like Indiana Jones, or Conan the Barbarian, or Luke
Skywalker. Rather than merely sitting back and
watching the adventures of these heroes, you
could actually experience the thrill and danger at
first hand. All that stood between you and certain
death would be your own skill and daring, and the
decisions you made.
In Golden Dragon Fantasy Gamebooks, you
ARE the hero.
You are a skilled adventurer who has roamed
over much of the known world. In your yearning
for constant challenge and the excitement of battle
you have fought goblins, giants, trolls, ogres,
dragons, evil wizards and many other strange and
terrifying opponents. And you have always won.
The years of adventure have honed your reflexes
and fighting skill so that few men could stand
against you in single combat.
To determine just how good an adventurer you
are, you must use the dice:
Roll two dice. Add 20 to this number and enter
the total in the VIGOUR box on your Character
Sheet. This score represents your strength,
fitness and general will to survive. Any wounds
you take on your quest are subtracted from your
VIGOUR score - if it ever reaches zero you are
dead.
Roll one die. Add 3 to the number rolled and
enter the total in the PSI box on your Character
Sheet. The higher this score, the better you are at
resisting spells cast at you and the more sensitive
you are to psychic impressions.
Roll one die, add 3 and enter the total in the
AGILITY box. This score reflects how nimble you
are. You will need a high AGILITY to scale walls,
leap across chasms, and so forth.
== YOUR NAME ==
Try to personalize your adventuring persona by
thinking of a heroic name. You might call yourself
Lucas Starkiller or Sir Bergan the Bold, Lady
Angela Centauri or Li Chun the Black Dragon, or
any other name you can think of. Imagine what
sort of adventurer you are first - a noble knight, a
crafty rogue, a dashing swordsman or a rugged
Viking, perhaps - and then choose a name to
reflect that. Try looking at the BACKGROUND to
the adventure first; it may give you some ideas.

== VIGOUR, AGILITY and PSI ==
Your VIGOUR will change constantly during the
adventure - every time you are wounded, in fact.
You may find healing potions in the Temple of
Katak. These will resore some of the VIGOUR
points you have lost owing to wounds - but unless
you are told otherwise, your VIGOUR score must
never exceed its original value. This is your normal
VIGOUR score, and you must keep a careful note
of it.
Your AGILITY and PSI are less likely to change,
although this is possible. Spraining your ankle, for
example, might reduce your AGILITY by 1 point.
A magic helmet might increase your PSI. But, as
with VIGOUR, your AGILITY and PSI must never
exceed their normal scores unless you are specifically told otherwise.Fill in the character sheet in pencil sothat you can rub it out for
future adventures. You may prefer to copy the character sheet
on to a separate piece of paper.
