So the ambush round is about ambusher vs ambushee. If a group of players wish to ambush an enemy force, each player rolls against their intended target, with only the ones who beat their target acting in the Ambush Turn. So, what happens if a player wants to throw a grenade or use an area of...

Does WOIN have any rules for holding actions / turns, or delaying actions turns? I tried to find anything, but didn't have any luck.

I would like to clarify who different damage types and SOAK work. Let's take the Firemage's Flaming Touch ability as an example. Flaming Touch causes your unarmed attacks to deal 1d6 heat damage in addition to their normal damage. Let's assume that this means the character is doing 2d6...

I noticed that the 1.2 errata for NEW came out in November of last year. With a new game coming up soon, I was hoping that the updated errata for OLD would be in the pipeline. Any chance of that arriving soon?

I'm looking for advice on balancing Spells in WOIN. Something my group quickly realized was that the cost to make buffs into AoEs was very low, and the cost to make things long duration was downright reasonable especially if you took an hour to buff in the morning. The end result is powerful...

I know that in the most recent Errata the skill requirements for equipment bonuses were removed, however that requirement is something my group rather enjoys. It really does a lot to balance the game, even if it does have some weird issues with dice pool caps. So what was the original skill...

It seems every week I'm making another thread with a question to ask. Sorry for filling up the forums with my group's inquiries! But this week's question is this: How do offensive spells act in regards to exploits? 1) Can you use attack modifying exploits on spells? 2) If yes, are spells...

My group has been playing WOIN now - specifically OLD - for two weeks now. We've run into a handful of questions. I figured I'd make a list and see if we couldn't get some answers before next session. 1) When using an ability that grants multiple attacks (such as the archer's rapid shot) do...

For exploits that grant other exploits such as the Gladiator's Skills exploit (Which grants two universal exploits from a specific list), do the exploits gained need to meet the prerequisites? So for example, Gladiator's Skills can grant the Crippling Strike exploit, which Deadly Strike and an...

Perhaps one if the things I like most about WOIN is that it is quite modular. Like many generic systems, adding subsystems or tweaking existing ones is built into the philosophy of the game. However what set WOIN apart for me is the number of very interestingly or well designed subsystems. The...

In the injury and death section of OLD it states that no character can benefit from a single source or type of healing more than once per day. My question is what counts as a source or type of healing? Obviously you can only have a single health potion a day, and presumably a weak potion and...

As I'm reading through the OLD rulebook, I'm noticing that agility seems to be overvalued. It is used for melee and ranged attacks, as well as both forms of defense. Is there any reason then to use strength as a primary attribute if you have any focus at all on combat? This probably isn't a big...

How exactly does advancing career grade by time? If the players get 2 years of down time, do they all roll d6s and only the ones who get a 1 or 2 advance? Does that mean during 4 years of downtime 1 player could go up 4 career grades while the others go up only 1 due to lucky dice? I'm not...

So with less time to prepare games these days (weekly sessions are draining after a while) I've decided to give myself a break and go with a premade adventure. Zeitgeist looks absolutely amazing, but with the end of the last all-custom game, the group found the supplement Spheres of Power by...
