Newbie questions

Post by Space_Masters »

Hey, I just finished reading the rulebook and I have a few questions. I'm coming from a mostly Pathfinder and 4e background, so I'm trying to leave most of my assumptions at the door.

Do you add your Stamina modifier every time you roll a hit die or just once?

When a character is reduced to 0 hp, he can be revived if his body is recovered within 1 hour and he passes a luck check. What is the DC of that check? Is that determined by the judge?

Do monsters roll on the normal fumble table just as players? Do they just roll a d4?

When healing ability score loss, does it heal 1 per ability or just 1 point total?

Does mercurial magic apply to clerics?

Thanks, everyone. I'm loving this game already.

Hi there. Welcome.

Every time.

Roll 1d20. If the result is equal to, or under, your Luck, congratulations! You are still alive.
Do monsters roll on the normal fumble table just as players? Do they just roll a d4?
Up to the judge, but I rule yes.
When healing ability score loss, does it heal 1 per ability or just 1 point total?
I rule 1 point total.
Does mercurial magic apply to clerics?
No.
Thanks, everyone. I'm loving this game already.
You're welcome!

Yeah, clerics get their own special set of "screwed" tables for deity disapproval. Speaking of which, in my games, the clerics have a muuuuuuch rougher time of things. I don't know if it's just crazy luck or bad dice or what.
