CRITS AND FUMBLES


Critical hits and fumbles add an element of excitement and unpredictability to a game. By and large, players love them. Here is the Crit and Fumble system used in the Infinite Earth campaign rules.

A natural 1 is a fumble: Attack misses, and lose next attack. A Natural 20 is a critical hit: Maximum damage, but only if  rolling a 20 would hit. If the target requires a roll of 21 or more to hit, then the attack still fails.

RULES ADJUSTMENTS

A major change in the rules set. We've gotten rid of levels. Instead At the end of each session, each character is awarded character points to be spent on skills at 1 to 1 and on attributes at 3 to 1. Character points can be spent on Hit points at 1 point per hit die (1d6+2) gained. This also means the initial skill points given during character generation are different. 2d4+2 We've also added a parry roll to melee combat: During a combat round , if the combatants are in close combat with melee weapons, the defender may roll to parry when the attacker scores a successful hit.the defender may roll to parry. A parry requires that either the defender have a weapon, or both the defender and attacker be unarmed. A parry is an Extreme Difficulty roll (20) add combat bonuses.

 Here are the new rules for a general fantasy magic system. In Project Infinity, most of the magical worlds have been defined by other game systems, and simply adjusted to fit into the current rules, many fantasy based worlds are unique, and this is their system for casting spells. There are other elements of magic to most worlds as well, including the creation of magic items, potions and scrolls, but this is what magic users will be armed with when out in the field. PROJECT INFINITY - MAGIC SYSTEM This is a basic fantasy magic system for use in high fantasy worlds. The system is strongly influenced by Chaosium’s Worlds of Wonder magic system from 1981. Magic is the ability to control reality through focused thought. While we do that every day, for instance making fire. We think about how fire happens, gather the needed components, an appropriate fuel, and a source of ignition, then bring the two together, magic takes that concept a step farther and allows pure thought and concentratio

VISITING THE CITY STATE

The Interphase platform is located in a large vault beneath a tavern called "The Cup and Dragon," in the Thieve's Quarter of the City State of the Invincible Overlord. It is a fantasy realm with many dungeons nearby that are guarded by dragons. You get the idea. The local criminal element can see a real use for the PCs and their portal. The PCs can pass through the area without fear of being robbed. The rest of the city state is a place where eccentric adventurers are common. As long as the PCs don't cause any serious trouble, they can move through the city, and even venture out into the open countryside without being accosted. Of course, the Overlord's spies know of the PCs, but they are keeping tabs without interfering. The PCs may come in handy someday. Here is a map of the area around the tavern: And here is the entire City State: Best advice: Don't cause trouble. Don't rock the boat.
