Rules & house rules

#1 Post by Fulci »

The game will be run using the Fallout PnP ruleset (ver. 2.0). It is a freely available (http://fallout-rpg.narod.ru/PnP.html!!) rulebook, created in the early 2000s, sanctioned by the developers of the games. It reproduces the rules of Fallout I, II (and Tactics) quite faithfully.

Combat procedure

1. I post the turn order (based on the Sequence ratings of PCs, NPCs, monsters etc.). The turn order is only determined once, then remains the same.
2. In your post, spend ALL Action Points. Include all the rolls (both skill and damage). If you don't spend all your APs on actions or movement, note that you are using the rest on defense.
3. I post resolve everything.

Critical hits
Rolled on 1d10:
1 - Crippled Arm
2 - Crippled Leg
3 - 300% (3 Times) damage
4 - 200% (2 Times) damage
5 - 150% (1.5 Times) damage
6 - Unconsciousness for 1d4 turns
7 - Bypasses armor (DT and DR)
8 - Blindness (Perception lowered to 1)
9 - Knockdown (the target must Get Up)
10 - 400% (4 Times) damage

10 is "Instant Death" by the rulebook, but I find that a bit too much. Replaced it with a HUGE damage bonus.

XP

The computer games and the Fallout PnP derived from them give XP straight away, after each successful skill use or battle. In tabletop RPGs I think giving out XP for "chapters" is better. I'm recording your progress and will post about XP rewards each time we reach a logical conclusion.
