1.1 Alignment

The main theme of Barbaric Frontier is the struggle between

barbarism, civilisation and cosmic horror. To make it even more

visible I've changed the typical dndish alignment system so that

it will even more emphesize that theme.

CivilisedPeople with civilised alignment are more or less law-abiding,

with internalised values and schemes of social roles, code of

conduct and hierarchies. They operate within their societal

niches well and are quite adaptative to their changes. The

example of person with extreme attachment to this alignment

could be considered conformist.

BarbaricPeople with barbaric alignment are value freedom the most. In

civilised areas they feel uncomfortable, constrained by societal

code of conduct. They are considered "free spirits". The most

attached to this alignment are considered total nonconformists.

AlienEntities with alien alignment are incalculable in their deeds and

behavior. Their goals and cultivated values seem so otherworldly

and alien that they cannot be compared to any human or

demihuman morality or ethics.

None of these alignments is good or evil, naming them I've wanted

in terms of morality

Hit Dice: 1d6/level(gains 1 hp/level after 9th)Armor/shield permitted: up to chain mail unless casting a spellwhen using shields is forbidden

Weapons permitted: any unless casting a spell when using two-handed weapons is forbidden

Elves are a mystery in the known world, they seem to embody each

and every aspect of nature itself, both graceful and wild, ofuntamed passion and secretiveness. They seem so human, yet, their

culture and mentality seems very alien to other races, which

cause many conflicts in the relations with other races. Because

of this only exiles from elven society seem to be appropriate as a

member of adventuring party.

Hereditary foes: Elves gain +1 bonus to hit or damage whilefighting beastmen.

Spell Casting: Elf can castspells if he has at least

Intellect score of 13. Elf

owns a book of spells,

which doesnt necessarily

include all of the spells

on the standard lists.

Reading from this book,

Elves force selected spell

formulae into their minds,

preparing as many spells

as the character can

mentally sustain. (Note:

Elves are usually allowed

to prepare the same spell

multiple times if desired,

up to the available slots

in the Elfs memory and

mental capability.) Once a

prepared spell is cast, it

disappears from the Elfs

ability to cast, until it is

prepared again. If an Elf finds scrolls of spells while

adventuring, these spells can be added to the Elfs spell book.

Keen Detection: Elves have 2 in 6 chances to succeed when rolling1d6 attempting to spot hidden or concealed doors.

4.0 Adventuring House Rules4.1 Hit Dice everyday rolls


21/32

21

Few days ago I was thinking about gritty nature of the Barbaric

Frontier. Since not everyday we wake up in a perfect condition I

thought It would be aproprieate to cover this in the rules.

Every day adventurers roll their HD.

0 Hours of rest - all HD must be rolled

3 Hours of rest - 1 HD is full, the rest must be rolled

6 Hours of rest - 2 HD are full, the rest must be rolled

9 Hours of rest - All HD are full

Of course all wounds achieved must be substracted from the daily

amount of HPs.

4.2 Encumberance rules

A characters movement rate is determined by how much gear he is

carrying, or how much he is

encumbered. In the strictest sense, this should be determined by

adding up the weight of all the gear a

character is carrying. Realistically, no one keeps track of such

things during a game. However, the Referee

has the authority to call an audit of a characters inventory at

any time, so players should make sure that


22/32

22

their character is carrying a reasonable amount of equipment and

that all of the equipment fits somewhere on

the character or in a pack. Worn items, such as cloaks, jewelry,

backpacks, etc, do not themselves count as

items for encumbrance purposes. Carried sacks full of stuff count

as an oversized item. 100 coins count as

one item.

To determine a characters encumbrance level, simply use the

following guide and consult the chart:

Character wearing chain armor* 1 Point

Character wearing plate armor* 2 Points

25

Character is carrying 6 or more different items** overall 1

Point


Point


Point


Point

Character is carrying an oversized item +1 Point per Item

* Worn clothing and armor only counts towards this question

** Multiple small items of the same type (spikes, arrows, etc)

count as one item for this purpose. Worn

clothing/armor/jewelry do not count for encumbrance purposes.

All weapons count as separate items. Very

small single items do not count for encumbrance purposes.

Oversized items are counted separately.

Oversized items include two handed weapons, any item that

requires two hands to carry or is as tall as the

carrying character.


23/32

23

For mounts, use the following:

For Every Person Riding the Animal 1 Point

If the Person is Heavily Encumbered or greater 1 Point

Animal is wearing barding 1 Point

Animal is pulling a vehicle 1 Point per Axle

Per 15 Items the Animal is Carrying 1 Point

A Teamsterhas packed the animals load -1 Point

Mules subtract one point from their encumbrance load but move at

half the listed speeds. Ponies move at the

listed speeds but automatically start with 1 point of

Encumbrance.

All per-day travel distances include periodic rests. Characters

apply their Constitution modifier to their perday

travel distance on foot.

5.0 Magic house rules5.1 Casting spellsMagic in the world of the Barbaric Frontier is not your commonvanilla fantasy thing. It's danegerous to cast spells - if someone

fail at casting, he will at least become partially insane . To

reflect this I've made a small addition to the typical vancian

magic. Every time magic-user attempts to cast a spell, he must

make a saving throw with the negative modifier as the level of

the cast spell. If he fails, player must consult the table below:

saving throw effectresult

1 spellcaster must immediately make a saving throw vs. deathfailed sanity loss: 1-3rd level spell 1d4 sanity loss; 4-6th level spell 1d6

5.2 New spellsSnake arrowLevel : 3

Duration: instantaneousRange: as used bow

The spell transforms a 1d4 wooden sticks into snakes, which can beused as arrows. If caster makes a succesful attack roll with abow, his/her enemy must make a saving throw vs. poison. If hemakes a succesful roll, he only recieves damage as per bow, If nothe also gets 1d3 damage from venom during next 1d4 turns unlesshe do pass saving throw every next turn.

5.3 Magic itemsOne of the iconic features of all D&D-derived games are magic

items. So it seems apropriate to say something about them in the

context of my campaign. So as you my gentle readers may have

noticed Barbaric Frontier is quite low-magic setting, with no "ye

old magick shoppe" thing in it, and main civilisation's "burn the

witch!" attitude towards the magic, I came to the conclusion that

I will have quite a big problem concerning treasures and in

general loot earned through the course of upcoming campaign.

Only gold? meh, that's plain boring. So I thought, heck, I'll shoot

some nice magic stuff their. But not the way It looks in a typicalD&D campaign. I thought about the concept of magic stuff that

have it's orgin in the Earthdawn game(well and sorta transposed

to the d20 thing in Midnight campaign setting in the way of

Legacy Weapons IIRC). So getting to the point - most of the magic

items that my players will come across at first won't have any

magical bonus in it. First they will have to be "attuned" to it by

spending some XP on it. However, once acquireing It won't be


26/32

26

possible to "attune" it straight away by spending already earned

XP. To do so one will have to earn some XP having in mind the

attunement of the magic item. After that first bonus will be

available for the PC. Each level, PC will have the opportunity to

get more "attunned" to the magic item, and doing so achiving more

bonuses and special features from it.

Dryads are elves whose tree was cut down or otherwise "killed". Insuch a situation elf becomes some kind of a tree himself, losesit's personality and becomes a mindless hand of nature'sretribution. Typical dryad is 7 feet tall, thin human-shaped

entity with "skin" of wood and bark with sharp branches growingfrom around its body, especially head. They attack anyone whomthey encounter except the elves and other dryads. They do possessa ability similar to the Charm person spell.

Beastmen are tall humanoids with animal-like heads. They may

be found both above ground and in subterranean caverns.They form into loosely organized herds, often ranging farfrom lair in order to steal and kill with rapacious ferocity.

The truth of their orgins fade in to the distant past when anancient and powerful sorceror conducted several vile experimentson barbarians trying to interbreed them with animals to achive astrong and obedient army to conquer near by kingdom.Experiments succeeded, but he underestimated their wit. Thesorceror died torn apart by his "children" and here the storyends.

Fungimen are a vile race of sentient fungi that lives beneath theBarbaric Frontier in vast complexes of caverns. Their race isdivided into two sub-species - male fighters and female spore-queens, whose sole role is to spread the plague of fungimen acrosscaves. Each tribe of fungimen typically consists 4d20 of malewarriors and one spore-queen which is fiercly worshiped.Fungimens' victims are mere fertilizer to feed the spore-queen.While attacking they very often bite their enemies with theirpoisonous teeth(saving throw vs. poison to overcome the effect ofthe poison which deals otherwise 1d6 damage).
