Beginner's Luck (BL):
Explanation of BL:
- Extra points used to add or subtract from your % dice rolls as you make your character.
- Once Beginner's Luck points are used they are gone forever.
- Record BL on a seperate piece of scratch paper. It's not part of the character sheet.
- Once you are done, DO NOT simply discard BL remaining (see: "Beginner's Luck Remaining").
- As you roll on charts and tables, you will notice there may be a note (NO B.L.) at the top of each chart. If it DOES NOT SAY "NO B.L.", you CAN us Beginner's Luck to sway the % dice-roll result (so look for that)..
- You can us BL to succeed in gaining a random treasure item at the creation of your character, but not to help in rolling up the specifics of the item gained.
Example:
1. Tasha created a character with 17 Beginner's Luck points.
2. She will have 3 chances to see if she will start out with treasure items as she creates her character. A %Roll of 71+ is needed.
Her First roll:
66: Too low (she needed a 71+).
Tasha states, "I'm going to use 5 Beginnger's Luck to get a 71.
She then permanently erases 5 Beginner's Luck points, leaving her with 12.
This item will be random.
Tasha rolls a Potion for her first item and asks, "Can I use Beginner's Luck to try and get into the L Section of the potion list? I wanna to try for a Life Potion.
Game Master's reply: "No. Begginner's Luck can only be used to get an item, not to roll for specific item."
End Example.
- Roll twice on Chart #1 (keeping only the higher result) to see your starting BL.
