Dragonbane general thread

What would you roll for finding tracks? Both bushcraft and hunting would seem appropriate. Hunting is agility based, which is a point against, IMO, but tracking animals is explicitly listed as a hunting roll.

Hunting (p. 103).

Hunting is the best fit, as per the description of the activity.

Bought and read the core rulebook on DTRPG after reading this thread, and it’s very good. I read the Quickstart a few years ago and wasn’t too engaged by it, but now it’s really speaking to me.

Briefly comparing it to other games, it reminds me a lot less of D&D 5E or Shadowdark and more of Tiny Dungeons (which has a similar flat power structure and ability-based advancement) and Fabula Ultima (ditto). Tiny Dungeons is more similar to Dragonbane, especially in the way it’s more modular and adaptable.

I’m thinking of developing my version in a more JRPG style like Fabula Ultima, which would mean designing more Heroic Abilities that are more like Skills in FU. I need to think about it a bit more. Items would probably also be more important.

For instance, here are a couple of more JRPG-style Heroic Abilities and rules for summoning.

- Shadow Strike (1-5 HP, 3 WP): Use your angst to power your rage. You inflict extra damage equal to 2x HP lost using this ability (so you can lose 5 HP to gain +10 damage) with a successful attack.

- Wizard Slayer (3 WP): Your successful melee attack causes your target to lose WP equal to HP damage inflicted.

Summoning Stone: This otherwise normal-looking rock signifies your pact with a powerful elemental spirit. You can spend 10 WP to summon the spirit, as long as you've formed a pact and know the Spell mentioned in the spirit description.

• Gnome: Cast Stone Skin on all allies or cause a major narrative effect related to stone and earth (such as cause or stop an earthquake).
• Salamander: Cast Fireball on all enemies or cause a major narrative effect related to fire.
• Sylph: Cast Gust of Wind on all enemies or cause a major narrative effect related to air and wind.
• Undine: Cast Heal Wound on all allies or cause a major narrative effect related to water.
• Yggdrasil: Cast Entangling Roots on all enemies or cause a major narrative effect related to trees and flora.

By the way, do we think there’s any chance of seeing The Magistrate’s Gambit in pdf form at some point? It sounds very interesting.

Eventually, I’m sure.
