Microlite20 : the smallest thing in gaming

[Cymew]

WSmith,

That table of XP changed the environment a bit! Now I see how 100 XP/HD could work. I'll pluck that system and put it into my Hommlet M20 test.

I'm afraid I'm to young to have been gaming when 1st ed was new, but I can guess where that xp table comes from...

Oops, I forgot to mention that I am using a different XP table too. Some of you might recognize this

LONG LIVE THE FIGHTING MAN!

See my earlier posts.

I am assuming that you are refering to the original T1-4, (Not "Return to..." or some such). Judging by what I have experimented with so far, there should be no problems converting.

"Return to..."? How can you return from "Tomb of Horros" and ToEE?

Meepo is right. It is the Fighting Man table from Volume I, Men & Magic, in the Original D&D boxed set. Note that it does not continue on the same numeric path. Here is the whole table:

1...2000
2...4000
3...8000
4...16000
5...32000
6...64000
7...120000
8...240000
9...360000

Add 120,000 XP fpr each level above 9th.

Some other thing I thought of, thanks to Tunnels & Trolls 7th edition, is the pure magic-mana drain.

In M20. two dueling magi may, instead of tossing spells at each other, opt to roll an oppossing test with a d20 (or alternativly a d12 if d20 is too harsh) and apply their Magical Attack bonus. The wizard with higher of the two scores has drained an amount of HP equal to the difference of the test result, from the loser of the test; the one with the lower score.

Perfect point.

 

[MeepoDM]

Perfect point.

No kidding! Only if by "return" they mean someone drags your headless, charred, and punctured corpse back to the mouth of the dungeon before making a run for it!

Just to be clear, I am not lobbying for any of my wacky posts to be included in the Core Rules. I like the base rules the way they are.

One other thing I may do is use simplified missile weapon ranges, since distance is abstract in M20 anyway. I think AGoT d20 does this, (can anyone confirm that?)

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by this one.

Well.
Fighters gain +1 to their attack and damage rolls at level 5, 10, 15 ...
Clerics and Magi gain access to new spells.
And Rogues have no special level advancement.

And what about to have a more "beautiful" character sheet ?

This is the proto-type of the GM screen I am making. I need to add more to it, and use a picture that is not property of someone else.
