Might be too late to ask, but I'd love clarification on how damage works in this game. I see that unarmed strikes deal one damage and armed strikes deal two, but I don't understand if monsters dealing three damage is really correct. It doesn't feel like it makes sense to me. Also, how does rerolling die work? Can you always reroll your int plus your wis? Is that how hit points work too, is it strength plus agility equals hit points? I really wanna run a campaign of this but I want to iron out the details first.
Yes, Monster (singular) deals three damage, I wrote this to be played as a horror/exploration game with a lot of storytelling (if that makes any sense) so rules for combat are very few and probably a bit unfair.
You have only 3 attributes Body, Mind, and Senses. Your hit points are equal to your Body attribute and you can reroll dice as many times per game as your Mind attribute.
I never found a good way to describe this but I wanted the Guide to have a bigger role in the game, they could get some backstory or maps before the game If you want to play It as exploration/mystery or they could fill in descriptions for Narrator during the game If you want to go for more storytelling.
