Wound Test


Wound Test

To streamline the "attack -> wound -> death" process i did a little but important change introducing the Wound Test.
Now when damage exceed Stamina the victim must roll a Wound Test with a pertinent* Ability.

If the test succeeds (4+) the victim lose a die step for that Ability.
If the test fails, the victim dies!
Basically, when you run out of STA every hit could kill you or bring you closer to death.

*Pertinent: usually you have to roll PHY for physical and even magical attacks but some monsters will cripple you (AGI), drain your sanity (MIN), or your personality (CHA).

Bonus:
For more cinematic action, i added an optional "EasyMode" where characters can get +6 to max Stamina. Remember that enemies should get this bonus too. 

The future of Hack n Slash
I have some arrows to shoot here:

  • d666 Grimoire (216 Spells for Hack n Slash)
  • Hack n Slash bestiary
  • The Crypt of the Greythornes (a oneshot dungeon for Hack n Slash)

Thank you for your attention.

See ya in the dungeon.
