SPECIAL WEAPONS
BLOWGUN. See Cursed Scroll # 2 page 17 for details on this
weapon.

BLUDGEON. After making a successful strike to the head with

this small club weapon, calculate damage (1d2), then roll
another d20 and consult the results below. *If the opponent is
wearing a helmet; roll with a DISV.

1-8 = Grazing Blow. No effect.

9-11 = Dazed. Opponent’s next round is at a DISV.
12-15 = Stunned. Opponent’s next 1d6 rounds are at a DISV.
16-20 = Knocked out! Opponent is unconscious for the next
1d6 rounds.

BOLAS. See Cursed Scroll # 2 page 17 for details on this

weapon.

BUCKLER. A small round shield used in defense which is

combined with a melee weapon in the opposite hand.
Often Bucklers were made with a sharp
spike extending out from the front or
side of the shield for offensive attacks.
Bucklers are useful for
deflecting blows, binding
a fighter’s arms,
or striking a blow.
This weapon adds +1 AC.

DART. A small projectile weapon designed to be thrown by

hand. It is usually coated with a toxicant applied to the sharp
tip, enhancing its limited damage potential and making it
more effective.
6
HEAVY CROSSBOW. The largest and strongest among the
crossbows which gives this weapon the ability to deliver a
powerful punch! However the size and weight create a
disadvantage making it more cumbersome.
The Heavy Crossbow requires 1 full round
to reload before it can be fired again.

IMPROVISED WEAPON. Anything that can be picked up and

used in a seconds notice. You find yourself with a broken or lost
weapon? Then a rock, bottle, bar stool, ceramic tankard, frying
pan, tree branch, heavy tome, or what ever is at hand’s reach.
You may use any of these items as a melee or ranged
weapon thrown up to a Near distance. The GM can decide
whether Strength or Dexterity is the appropriate stat to use in
each situation.

KATANA. An exotic sword originating from a distant and

enigmatic land. They are only brought to this realm by a
foreign keeper or venturous traveling merchant. Renowned for
its legendary razor sharp edge and superior balance, the
Katana is light enough to wield single handed. However its
elongated hilt is designed to accommodate two hands,
granting it the capacity to deliver truly lethal strikes that can
decisively end any fight. Wielding this rare sword is a privilege,
those lucky enough to own one hold its blade in the highest
regard.

7
PISTOL CROSSBOW.
Also referred to as the Assassin’s
Crossbow, is a lightweight and
compact weapon that is easy to
conceal. It is quick to reload and
can be fired using just one hand.
Despite its small size, it possesses
considerable potency, especially
when the bolts are laced with a
venom or other toxic substances.

REPEATER CROSSBOW. This weapon revolutionized the

process of spanning the bow, loading the bolt, and shooting
into a single, fluid movement. This innovation significantly
increased the firing speed compared to a standard crossbow.
The design of the repeater crossbow was first developed by
Dwarven weapon smiths.
It features a top mounted
magazine holding a reservoir
of 10 bolts which feeds the
crossbow using the force of
gravity. This crossbow fires
2 bolts per round. Roll two
separate d20 dice, one for
each bolt when making an
attack. Requires 1 full round
to reload the magazine.

SHURIKEN. See Cursed Scroll # 2 page 17 for details on this

weapon.

STAFF SLING. This weapon combines the wooden staff and

sling into one. It can be used as a melee or ranged weapon as
well. Unlike the standard sling, the Staff Sling can send much
heavier objects down range causing significantly more
damage.

STAVE. See Cursed Scroll # 3 page 20 for details on this

weapon.

17
INTOXICATION
Drinking hard alcohol and spirits is similar to self poisoning.
With its pleasures comes its pains. Drinking too much runs
the risk of becoming “stinking drunk” and losing self control.

The starting point is easy with a DC 9 CON check + modifier.

The first hard alcoholic beverage makes you feel all warm and
fuzzy and you might get drunk from that one shot depending
on what you drank? For every hard alcohol or spirit consumed
after that the DC increases by + 1 and CON checks are rolled for
every shot washed down.

Bram the Fighter joins his adventuring friends in a night of

carousing at The Bitter Moon Inn. He consumes 5 shots of
hard alcohol during the festivity. The first shot makes Bram
feel happy and confident, so he continues to drink more.

The second shot becomes a DC 10 CON check. Bram rolls a

d20 and scores a 14. So he continues, the third shot is
DC 11 CON check, the fourth shot is a DC 12 CON check,
and so forth.

Bram continues to roll for every

shot he drinks. If he succeeds
his rolls, he remains in control
of himself. The first CON check
he fails Bram becomes
“STINKING DRUNK” and
rolls on the next table to
find the results of his
actions for the night.

18
d20 STINKING DRUNK RESULTS
You find yourself betrothed to one if the inn’s staff members, or some other
1-2 stranger you met in the night. In the morning you wake up next to your new
spouse, they show you the signed marriage agreement.
You engage in random acts of kindness and give 1 gp to 2d20 people in the
3-4 establishment. In turn you gain the same amount of new friends and/or
followers. If you don’t have up to 40 gps on you, well the GM can decide your fate.
You promise to join an amateur group of fellow adventures in their next conquest
5-6 and teach them how to become professional Crawlers. The next day they come
knocking at your door ready to go. Do you remember your promise?
You joyously dance and sing the night away in illustrious debauchery.
As morning arrives you discover a note inscribed on a mysterious business card
tucked in your pocket. The card bears an address on it that reads:
Madam Mazel’s Theater of Delightment
7-8
469 Siren Lane
On the back written in elegant handwriting, the note expresses anticipation
for another encounter with you, stating, “Looking forward to meeting you once
more.”
You befriend a group of dwarves who tell you about a lost dungeon, keep, mine,
9-10 catacombs, or burial sight with an ancient secret. If you could only remember
where it was?
You experience a sense of invincibility and venture into perilous territory by
attempting daring and risky stunts. These include scaling to the balcony of a
three-story building, leaping across rooftops, and executing daredevil tricks.
11-12
As the atmosphere intensifies, fellow intoxicated individuals join the spectacle,
giving rise to a betting pool to determine who will triumph in these audacious
endeavors.
The next day you wake up with a very strange object in your pocket.
13-14 Did you find it? Pilfer it? Did someone purposely place it on you? What is it?
And how did it get in your pocket?
While drunk you become excessively talkative with a group of shady individuals
sitting around a table. Some new friends perhaps, or not? You might have shared
15-16 some personal information, disclosed secrets, or made promises you cannot
keep. Over the next week you and/or your party are followed around by such
individuals. What the hell did you tell them? If only you could remember?
During the majority of the night you hold an in depth conversation with yourself
discussing a wide range of topics, even arguing at times. Interestingly, a ghost
becomes attached to you, specifically the one you were actually conversing with.
17-18 They proceed to follow you around in the months to come wanting something
from you. Only you can hear and see them. The GM can establish intricate details
concerning the ghost, such as their identity, how they died, current motivations,
alignment, and ultimate intentions.
You offend a prominent and affluent aristocrat in the area and find yourself
19-20 challenged to a duel at sunrise by their skilled champion fighter. Failure to attend
the duel prompts the aristocrat to dispatch bounty hunters in pursuit of you.
