Message: <blockquote data-quote="FusionBurner" data-source="post: 2925667" data-attributes="member: 41975">Boxed Text -- It works for everyoneHere is an example of how it used to be done back in the Golden Age of D&D: Play: The players may proceed with Treasure and Trap/Trick as well as the runes in Lore. The Monster is inside the sarcophagus and will not attack unless the lid is opened.Monster: If the sarcophagus is opened, the Mummy (the monster's STAT BLOCK goes here) will attack.Treasure: Lying across the sarcophagus isn the Pharaoh's Staff of Ruling. This is one of the two treasures that players need to fulfill their quest. It can be easily and safely taken from the top of the sarcophagus. See TREASURES AND TOMES (this is something included in the module) for its magical powers.Trap/Trick: The statue is a secret door that leads to a 10-foot wide by 20-foot deep alcove...(and so on)Lore: There is a base 30% chance (using the d20 rules, this would be a DC check) of each character correctly reading the writings which say:A PASSAGE WAS ALWAYS PROVIDED BETWEEN THE TOMB OF THE KING AND HIS LIKENESS...(and so on and so forth)----------------------------------------------------------------------The comments in parenthesis where added by me, but the rest is from the AD&D module, "PHARAOH", by Tracy and Laura Hickman, published in 1983 by TSR.At any rate, I found that sort of layout worked very well both back then and now.. as I take these old modules and convert them over to d20 rules to be run by myself on Internet Relay Chat games.Game On!</blockquote>
