Path: tuegate.tue.nl!sun4nl!mcsun!uunet!decwrl!csus.edu!csusac!usenet From: emamid@athena.ecs.csus.edu (David Emami) Newsgroups: rec.games.frp Subject: Rolemaster Homemade Stuff (Reposts and New) Message-ID: <1992May22.085413.6621@csusac.csus.edu> Date: 22 May 92 08:54:13 GMT Sender: David Emami Organization: California State University, Sacramento Lines: 779 OK, recently somebody who missed my previous RM posts asked me to mail them the charts. Well, I've gone and lost the e-mail address (sorry!), so I'm posting them here in the hopes that the person gets the stuff in time for this weekend's gaming. But, this is not just reposted stuff. The (previously unposted) charts for Iaijitsy (Quick-draw), Disguise, Acting, and Trickery are included. This is the manuever chart for Flying: ------------------------------------ Flying -26 down: Blunder: You wind up in a maximum-speed power dive. You will be at -30 to all actions until you pull out, and at -20 to all airborne actions for 10-(SD bonus)/10 days. You may not make attacks during this dive. -25 to 4: Absolute Failure: Roll d5 to determine your flight attitude, and d100 for your percentage of maximum speed. Roll d6: 1-2 turn left 60 degrees, 3-4 continue straight, 5-6 turn right 60 degrees. You suffer penalties as Blunder, but halved in severity and duration. You may not make attacks while in this dive. 5 to 75: Failure: None of your manuever succeed, and you may not make any attacks. 76 to 90: Partial Success: As Failure, but your manuever(s) will automatically succeed, next round, if you don't attempt anything else.
