This often rules out the smart way to deal with the situation. The thing here is that in certain situations you must roll a Trait check, and the success or failure of that check limits what you can do in the situation. When they’re 16/4 or even more unbalanced, though, it’s really a significant character trait. All of the values between a pair add up to 20, and most are around 10/10 or 13/7 or something along those lines. You’ve got Chaste/Lustful and Energetic/Lazy, and so forth. The Traits are a bunch of sliding scales between different virtues and vices. The way Pendragon handles this is with the Traits. Greg Stafford, the writer of King Arthur Pendragon, comments on Sir Tristram that the way the guy charges into battle every time he sees another knight without so much as a how-do-you-do, the only possibility is that he’s seriously nearsighted and can’t identify the other knights, and every time Greg portrayed Sir Tristram as an NPC, he kept squinting and peering at the players.

#KING ARTHUR PENDRAGON RPG 5TH EDITION CODE#
They have a concept of honour and a code of conduct so deeply ingrained in their behaviour that they will happily work against their own interests and even die or kill friends in duels if that’s what they perceive honour to demand. The characters in the Arthur legends are never like that. You know how in fiction and occasionally mythology, certain characters behave just like they were player characters in D&D? You know, audacious and smart types, who have wildly varied and odd skillsets, limited survival instincts and a knack for creating and then executing completely unexpected and oddball plots that, against all logic, tend to work. The key to this difference is the Traits and Passions. Pendragon is very, very good, and very, very different, surprisingly so, from pretty much everything else I’ve played. How’s the Game, Then?įirst of all, some observations about the game. The woman, Lady Natalya, was trapped inside an icy mountain floating in a lake behind the baron’s castle. Skelg, in the Pendragon version, was unable to rise from his bed, yet unable to die. Skelg the Ripper, the cursed Ulfen warrior from the original, was a king of old laid low by a curse cast by an evil baron after the king and the baroness had a tryst. I opted for an epic Grail Quest route with the module, turning the taverns and manors and boathouses of the original into castles. D&D adventures aren’t solved the same way as Call of Cthulhu adventures, and so on. It also doesn’t ruin the adventure if the players have played through it previously, especially if the adaptation throws a few curveballs their way. The structure of the module is fairly simple, it has room for improvisation and the structure is solid. I finally settled on The Frozen Fingers of Midnight for the module, which, on hindsight, was a good decision. This Edition 5.1 updates the redesigned and reorganized 5th Edition, and includes new material and rules changes from Greg Stafford, the creator of the original game and author of the 5th edition.Well, unlike some other projects I’ve engaged in the past, this one got off the ground and the first game was played yesterday. With its innovative rules, including the distinctive traits and passions system designed to help you in determining your character's behavior under any circumstances, Pendragon provides a unique roleplaying experience laid out against perhaps the richest tapestry in Western literature. Win great renown with your laudable deeds and feats of arms, perhaps even winning the right to carve your name into the Round Table itself as the story of Arthur and Camelot unfolds around you. Assume the role of a knight starting his career in the time of Uther Pendragon, undertaking quests and perilous adventures for your lord, for your lady-love, for the Church, or for your own glory. Relive the grandeur and romance of the greatest of all legends-the story of King Arthur.
