How to Brawl

How to Brawl Being non-lethal disputes by definition, Brancalonian brawls are regulated by simple rules that replace the typical cycle of combat. A brawl basically works like combat, but introduces significant differences regarding the actions you can take each turn, and how hit points, damage, and movement are calculated. Note: During a brawl, you cannot use class abilities (such as Class Spells, Extra Attacks, etc.), but you are allowed to take advantage of passive features (such as Una

Basic Combat Maneuvers

Basic Combat Maneuvers Melee combat is not always an exchange of weapon attacks—sometimes you are trying to subdue, not kill. Other times, you may want to do something else other than damage your target in order to gain an upper hand. Several other basic combat maneuvers are presented below. These can be used to help adjudicate other improvised actions, following a similar structure and using similarly weighted effects. A basic combat maneuver sometimes forces a target to make a saving th

Placing Prophesies

Placing Prophesies In the Bounty Kingdom taking bets is often forbidden, and those who do so risk pillory and imprisonment. To overcome this minor setback, the Knaves of Penumbria have come up with a solution that has spread through the Kingdom like wildfire. They don’t take bets: they make prophecies. Placing prophecies is an optional way for Knaves to scrape together a few extra coins during a job. A prophecy is a prediction of something that will happen either before evening or on t

Weapons

Weapons Your class grants proficiency with certain weapons, representing the weapons you have been trained to use. Different weapons deal different amounts of damage, have different properties, and can be used to attack from different ranges. Melee weapons are held or thrown, while ranged weapons propel ammunition great distances. When making an attack with a weapon, you add your Strength or Dexterity modifier to the roll, depending on the weapon’s type, as well as your proficiency bonus, if a

Miscellaneous Gear

Miscellaneous Gear The many essentials that make adventuring into the unknown possible: Acid. You can use an action to splash the contents of this vial onto a target within 5 feet of you or throw the vial up to 20 feet where it shatters on impact. In either case, make a ranged weapon attack against the target, treating the acid as an improvised weapon. On a hit, the target takes 2d4 ongoing acid damage. This damage persists for 3 rounds. A creature ends all ongoing damage from mundane aci

Tools

Tools Many trades and crafts require special tools or sets of tools needed to do things like to pick a lock, paint a portrait, or brew a potion. Any character can use a tool kit, but many characters also gain proficiency with specific tools. When you are proficient, you add your proficiency bonus to any ability checks made with them. Tool use is not tied to any single ability score and your Narrator may decide your work may require any sort of ability check. For example, you may be a

Mounts From the mighty warhorse to the humble pack mule, mounts can be an integral part of your battle plan or simply a way to carry your excess gear. This section concerns the cost, upkeep, and carrying utility of your mounts. In order to be used as a mount, a creature must be at least one size category larger than you, and must have an Intelligence score of 4 or lower. You may be able to convince creatures with a higher Intelligence score to let you ride them, but they are considered in

Spellcasting Foci

Spellcasting Foci Many spellcasters rely on a magical focus, an item that allows them to channel their power. Using a spellcasting focus allows a spellcaster to forgo many material components for their spells. A wide variety of items can be turned into magical foci, which fall into three primary categories: Arcane Focus: These foci are soaked in arcane power and often engraved or painted with eldritch symbols and cosmic iconography.

Concoctions

Concoctions The people of the Kingdom love to prepare and consume spirits, tinctures, tonics, and concoctions of all sorts, especially if they are illegal and made with makeshift tools: from herbalist friars dedicating entire dormitories to the most sophisticated and careful preparation, to mountaineers cooking the typical Hair of the Dog in rough stables, next to the donkey shelters. In any case, all concoctions' unique formulas guarantee them excellent additional properties that other liqueu

Armor

Armor The durability of your armor is a combination of the style of armor and its materials. Less durable materials like cloth and leather are comfortable, lightweight, and inexpensive but struggle to turn a hit. Metals may turn a hit more easily but require more physical strength to wear and cost more coin. The different styles of armor are outlined below. When you are wearing armor that you aren’t proficient with, you have disadvantage on ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws

Counterfeit

Counterfeit The Kingdom is well-known for its counterfeit goods: forged documents and fake coins are almost more popular than real ones, bogus relics and works of art have entirely dedicated retail and wholesale markets, the capital of Alazia itself, Port Patacca, takes its name from the rip-offs served up to naive travelers, and any object or service that appears in the game can be counterfeit. Counterfeit equipment has 3 key features: It always seems very convenient: In fact, a

Fine and Masterwork

Fine and Masterwork Some weapons and armor are crafted with extreme skill, often as the crowning accomplishment of a craftsperson’s life. These pieces are visually distinctive and cost more than similar items of lower quality. Typically, only masterwork items are enchanted, as flimsier pieces tend to not be able to withstand the magical forces—a fine item can become magical junk of up to uncommon rarity, and a masterwork item can become magical junk of up to any rarity.

Lifestyle Expenses

Lifestyle Expenses Living costs money, and when not out delving dungeons or exploring Knaves still need to eat, drink, and sleep to stay alive. A hot meal can be a glorious sight compared to the endless trail rations, and a room with a warm bed is a welcome respite compared to the unknown dangers on the trail. While all food and lodging provide the same mechanical benefits of rest and sustenance, a bowl of gruel and a roasted pheasant have quite different costs and are usually enjoyed by

Trading

Trading While gold pieces and other coinage are used to describe the value of items throughout this chapter, they are not the only way wealth manifests itself in the world. Merchants and crafters accept coins, and most people will have access to coins to give as quest rewards. Other types of currency and trade are common too. Gems, information, services, and exchanged goods are useful ways for the average person to acquire what they need. Working people of every stripe may find it easier to ba

Money

Money There are many currencies, ancient coins, chicken feed, and items of exchange circulating up and down the Kingdom’s cart tracks. A gold piece is the average day’s wage for a skilled artisan such as a tailor, carpenter, or armorer. They are commonly called "aureos" or "big pieces". A silver piece is half a day’s wages for an unskilled laborer. The most important and common exchanges are made in silver coins, and each region of the Kingdom has its own mint. In the Kingdom of the

Maintenance

Maintenance Like all gear, mundane weapons and armor wear out over time, and keeping them in good working order requires maintenance and repair. Regular day-to-day maintenance is assumed—your bowstring is oiled, your blade is sharpened, and your armor is polished. However, Knaves frequently encounter unusual events that are exceptionally hard on gear that may require a DC 10 maintenance check (or DC 15 if the stress was particularly severe).

Customizing Armaments

Customizing Armaments As a general rule of thumb, weapons should have no more than three properties unless one of those properties is a restriction. Shields and armor should have no more than two properties. You may also use a combination of the weapon or armor properties and the additional properties listed here to create functionally distinct gear. Particularly skilled craftspeople may be able to include the following properties when crafting standard gear, as well. Typically, such an a
