	Occupations, Heritage, and Culture are character defining details in Storm & Steel. They often offer advantages (and sometimes restrictions, in the cases of some Heritage and Culture options) based on a character's background. They can be selected or rolled randomly.

			==[[S&S: Grid Scale \| '''GRID SCALE''']]==
			While Storm & Steel can be played without a tabletop grid and miniatures, it does rely somewhat heavily upon their use. 1" grids are recommended for a playing surface. Each 1" square represents a number of feet in the game. Storm & Steel uses three scales:
			* '''1" = 3-1/3':''' Every 3 squares are equal to 10' This is the default suggested ground scale, as this allows three human-sized miniatures to easily stand and fight abreast in a 10' wide dungeon hall.
			* '''1" = 5':''' When space is at a premium on the tabletop, this scale can help. However, this can cause a lot of clutter if three human-sized miniatures are standing abreast in a 10' wide dungeon hall.
			* '''1" = 10':''' Great for outdoor scenes, particularly if miniatures of a smaller scale are available.
			Note that most gaming miniatures do not fall into the 1"=3-1/3' scale and will generally be smaller than this ground scale. This is helpful in that it allows miniatures with wide bases and set in exaggerated poses to fit fairly well together.
			==[[S&S: Character Space \| '''CHARACTER SPACE''']]==
			'''GROUND SPACE:''' All characters are assumed to occupy an approximated amount of floor space during combat. Below is a quick list of the typical minimum amount of ground space characters will take up during a fight. This is the general area that the character moves around in. The spaces can be imagined as a square or a circle. Characters that are exceptionally large or small might increase or decrease the listed area by 1/2'. Females and young of most races often have smaller frames and would generally subtract 1/2'. The specific spaces will be listed in racial descriptions. <br>
			'''Humans:''' = 3' <br>
			'''Elves:''' = 2-1/2' <br>
			'''Dwarves:''' = 2-1/2' <br>
			'''Gnomes:''' = 2' <br>
			'''Halflings:''' = 2' <br>
			'''Notes:'''
			* Characters can reduce their space by 1' to make room for fellow adventurers to allow them to pass by them or stand closer in tight spaces. Characters generally ''cannot'' pass through the same space as another without some sort of contested die rolls.
			* A GameMaster may rule that certain well-practiced adventurers might be able reduce the amount of space that they occupy by 1/2' when fighting alongside each other.
			* Looking at the list above, a reader can easily see how many characters may stand and potentially fight abreast in a 10' dungeon hall: Humans = 3; Elves = 4; Dwarves = 4; Gnomes = 5; and Halflings = 5.
			'''CHARACTER VERTICAL SPACE:'''
			* The vertical space of a character is typically their height plus 1/3 of their height.
			'''CHARACTER SPACE AND WEAPON LENGTH:'''
			* The length of a melee weapon is used to represent the nominal striking range of a weapon during combat (not the extremes).
			* The range of the melee weapon typically '''starts''' at the frontal facing area of a character's space; or 1/3 above their height; or at foot level when facing down (as if striking downward from a ledge while standing).
			* The range of the melee weapon typically '''ends''' at the weapon's length away from the starting area of character's space.
			* A character's weapon may be used to strike at something within their own character space, such as a snake, faerie or grappled creature.
			'''CHARACTER SPACE AND REACHING AN ENEMY:'''
			* The nominal distance between two fighting opponents is '''equal to the length of the shortest weapon''' that ''either'' combatant is using.
			* If a character is trying to reach an enemy with an ally in front of that character (i.e. fighting from the 2nd rank), the character must have a weapon that is at least as long as the ally's '''character space''' PLUS the '''shortest weapon length''' between the ally and the enemy.
	==[[S&S: Movement \| '''MOVEMENT:''']]==		==[[S&S: Movement \| '''MOVEMENT:''']]==
	* All characters may move up to a specified distance per segment, based on their individual movement rate.		'''INDIVIDUAL MOVEMENT RATE AND FACTORS:'''
			* Characters are assigned a base movement rate as a result of the race that was chosen for the character.
			* Movement rates are adjusted down by armor, shields, and encumbrance due to other items carried.
			* All characters may move up to a specified distance per segment, based on their individual movement rate.
			* '''All characters may move on every segment''' (see exception immediately below).
			* Characters whose group loses the group initiative roll may not move on segment one, unless they were running/charging on the last segment of the previous round.

			* Movement backwards is typically one stride per segment.
			'''CHARGE (RUNNING) Movement:'''<br>
	Charging is a risky and somewhat reckless form of aggressive movement and attack that uses speed and power to attempt to overwhelm an opponent. It can involve making heavy bodily contact in order to knock an opponent off balance and expose them to the attack; or moving at fast speeds to cause an opponent to misjudge their timing during their defense; or a charger placing themself completely behind their weapon for greater thrusting power; or leaping in the air and descending upon their opponent with their weapon overhead; or running alongside an opponent using the momentum of their running-swing for impetus; or several combinations of the above!

'''If more than one weapon is being wielded at the same time during a charge''', the other weapons may be used on the same segment (penalties for using more than one weapon at a time applies).
			'''CHARGING AND WEAPON LENGTH:'''
			* '''If any nearby defenders have weapons of greater length than the charging character''' and the charger is within striking range, they may use an attack of opportunity or resolve an available attack against the charger - on the same segment their weapon comes within striking range, even if their attack was slated to come later in the round.
			* '''Charging characters strike simultaneously with defenders that have longer weapons than the charger''', even if the charging character is struck unconscious.
			-GameMasters may create their own rulings in regard to what the maximum difference in weapon lengths can be, when deciding if a character that is doomed to go unconscious can still strike against defenders with longer weapons. Suggestion: Being within one stride might be sufficient - possibly two - if the charger successfully "contends for a space". In any event, a character who is slain under similar circumstances will not be able to complete the charging attack.

			==[[S&S: Group Initiative Roll \| '''GROUP INITIATIVE ROLL''']]==
			'''STARTING COMBAT:''' When a combat round begins, each side (the GameMaster and the players) must roll a d6 to determine how quickly their characters generally act. The side that rolls the highest, wins; and the side that rolls the lowest, loses. If the same number is rolled on both sides, it's considered a tie. The results are the following:<br>

			'''WIN = Attacks and spells occur 1 SEGMENT SOONER''' <br>

			'''LOSE = Attacks and spells occur 1 SEGMENT LATER''' <br>

			'''TIE = NO CHANGE on default segments.''' <br>

			'''MOVEMENT AND LOSING INITIATIVE:''' Whichever side lost the group initiative roll may not move their characters on segment one, unless they were already running/charging on the last segment (10) of the previous round. However, those running/charging characters on the losing side may only move at the '''NORMAL''' during segment one (not the '''CHARGE''' movement rate). This ruling may apply to certain flying (but not hovering) characters, as well.

 In Storm & Steel, player characters are not assumed to be average as the normal inhabitants of the world are considered to be. Their abilities are not steered toward a middle of the road average - and are instead on a linear probability curve where the chances of rolling high are just as equal as rolling low or somewhere in between.

By default, normal starting play in Storm & Steel begins at level zero: with level zero representing a character that is an inexperienced apprentice or otherwise progressing through their initial training in their new class.

==[[S&S: Class & Race Combination Restrictions | '''CLASS & RACE COMBINATION RESTRICTIONS:''']]==
Some classes may not be deemed suitable for use by some races, cultures, heritages, or even forbidden by some deities. Such unsuitable combinations are either viewed with distaste by the offended, not available in a milieu, or simply not possible to learn by that particular race due to some insurmountable incompatibility. If a character does somehow gain access to a restricted class, there may be consequences for their character, such as being shunned, attacked, or even hunted by opposing factions. It is suggested that GameMasters clearly declare the general consequences that might be incurred for engaging in the practice of a forbidden class before a character chooses it.

==[[S&S: Occupations | '''OCCUPATIONS:''']]==
Once the Race and Class are selected, an occupation may be decided for the character. Occupations are typically non-adventuring class careers that a player character has most likely learned prior to gaining an adventuring class. It's what player characters did - or do - for a living. One or more such trades are able to be selected or gained by rolling randomly on the character occupation table. Occupations may increase ability scores, award abilities and skills, and can be a source of income. A GameMaster may restrict the number of occupations characters have, if they wish; or can restrict the benefits of gaining more than one occupation. GameMasters may also rule that certain occupations are restricted from certain character races, classes, or other conditions in a way similar to how Class & Race Combination Restrictions are handled. The GameMaster is encouraged to allow players some freedom to use occupations to help develop good, solid character concepts. In any case, occupations are not required to be selected for characters, however, the benefits of having an occupation are fairly substantial.

==[[S&S: Culture | '''CULTURE:''']]==
If a player character is from a specific culture in the milieu, then they may be awarded benefits of that culture, or even restrictions, drawbacks, or quirks. Certain cultural benefits might include weapon proficiencies, skills, improved ability scores, etc. Restrictions and drawbacks might be class related (see above), limited deity choices, viewing certain creatures or cultures with disdain or malice, etc. Quirks may include a noticeable accent, preference for food items that are considered strange by other cultures, etc.

==[[S&S: Heritage | '''HERITAGE:''']]==
The heritage of a character includes what social class they are; family lineage, etc. Heritage can award similar benefits to that of culture, above; and in some cases, even the restrictions. A character's heritage may grant them the potential of wielding magic inherited through a family bloodline. Heritage typically can be selected, but in some cases may be randomly determined. Social class can award additional starting coin and even arms and armor. As with occupations and culture, it is typically optional.

==[[S&S: Rolling Ability Scores | '''ROLLING ABILITY SCORES''']]==
*Method I: Roll for eight dice, discarding the lowest. Assign the seven scores where desired, applying modifiers for race, class, etc.. See below for complete die procedure.
*Method II: Roll two dice for each ability score, discarding the lowest. Scores are assigned to a specific ability as it's being rolled, applying modifiers for race, class, etc. See below for complete die procedure.
 
In Storm & Steel, player characters are not assumed to be average as the normal inhabitants of the world are considered to be. Their abilities are not steered toward a middle of the road average - and are instead on a linear probability curve where the chances of rolling high are just as equal as rolling low or somewhere in between. As such, a single six-sided die is rolled for each ability score. Normal inhabitants of the world use a bell-curve as a result of averaging several dice. The complete procedure for die rolling is as follows:

* a roll of 1 through 5 is kept and is considered the final roll for an ability score, before modifiers.
* a roll of 6 is considered an ability score of 0, and the roll must be repeated. If another 6 is rolled, the ability score of 0 then becomes a -1, and the roll must be repeated. If another 6 is rolled, the score of 0 becomes a -2; and so on, and so forth. Modifiers are applied to the score.

No ability score in the game may be lower than -5, and no player character can have an ability score less than -3. A GameMaster can choose to raise the lower-limit of player character scores from -3 to whatever minimum they wish. When raising it, exceptionally low rolls can either default to the minimum the GameMaster chose - or they can have the player re-roll the ability. Alternatively, the character could be considered hopeless and the GameMaster can have the player re-roll the entire set of ability scores, if they wish.

-Storm & Steel characters possess several physical and mental characteristics that help define them. Each characteristic is quantified with a numerical value.

The reference traits for each ability score are as follows:

* '''STRENGTH: Muscular power. Affects the ability to power through defenses and generate damage.'''

The distance that can be moved per segment is based on the character's modified Movement Rate and is found on the appropriate table and recorded on the character sheet.

	* Weapon Speeds found in the AD&D rules have been converted into an Initiative number that represents ~~what~~ default segment of a round that a character ~~may strike~~ with that weapon. This number is adjusted when the group initiative roll has been won or lost~~; and may~~ be resolved sooner ~~when the~~ charging character ~~makes contact with~~ an enemy during ~~a charging attack~~; or ~~in the case where a~~ weapon's length is greater than an enemy~~'s when making ''first'' contact~~. After making initial contact, initiative is typically handled normally without regard to weapon length.		* WEAPON SPEED & WEAPON LENGTH: Weapon Speeds found in the AD&D rules have been converted into an Initiative number that represents the default segment of a round that a character strikes with that weapon. Segment one is at the beginning of the round and segment ten is at the end. This segment number is adjusted when the group initiative roll has been won or lost. Attacks are be resolved sooner if a charging character's weapon is within striking range of an enemy during the charge; or during 'first' contact, when any weapon's length is greater than that of an enemy and within striking range. Opponents with shorter weapons that are charged may attack on their normal initiative segment. After making initial contact, initiative on the following round is typically handled normally without regard to weapon length, unless making initial contact with a different enemy and not currently engaged in combat.

	* Spell Casting Times found in the AD&D rules have been converted into Initiative numbers that ~~represents what~~ default segment of a round that a character begins and completes the casting of a spell, use of a magic device, turning of undead, use of a spell-like ability, etc. The default Initiative numbers are modified by whether the character's group wins or loses the group initiative roll, as done with weapon attacks.		* CASTING TIME FOR SPELLS, DEVICES, ETC.: Spell Casting Times found in the AD&D rules have been recalculated and converted into Initiative numbers that represent the default segment of a round that a character begins and thereafter completes the casting of a spell, use of a magic device, turning of undead, use of a spell-like ability, etc. The default Initiative numbers are modified by whether the character's group wins or loses the group initiative roll, as done with weapon attacks.

	* Weapon Type vs. Armor Type bonuses are made with more attractive bonuses and are much easier to use and are more intuitive. Historical special features on weapons (such as back-spikes, for ~~example~~) award appropriate Weapon Type vs. Armor Type bonuses. The list of weapons has been expanded.		* WEAPON TYPE VERSUS ARMOR TYPE: Weapon Type vs. Armor Type bonuses are made with more attractive bonuses and are much easier to use and are more intuitive. Historical special features on weapons (such as back-spikes and top-spikes, for examples) award appropriate Weapon Type vs. Armor Type bonuses. The list of weapons has been expanded.

	* Weapon Proficiency Slots are now typically used learn groups of weapons, rather than individual weapons.		* WEAPON PROFICIENCY SLOTS: Weapon Proficiency Slots are now typically used to learn groups of weapons, rather than individual weapons.

	* Shields award armor class bonuses according to their size. Metal shields award additional armor class bonuses versus ranged weapons. Metal shields and any shield larger than '~~small~~' reduce movement rate. As was sometimes done historically, shields may also be used as a passive defense, which awards a partial armor class bonus when used with weapons that require two hands. This can be done at the expense of receiving a penalty to strike when doing so.		* SHIELDS: Shields award armor class bonuses according to their size. The sizes are Buckler, Small, Medium, Large, and Tower. Metal shields award additional armor class bonuses versus ranged weapons. Metal shields and any shield larger than 'Small' will reduce movement rate.

	* ~~A piecemeal armor system~~ is ~~offered for unique armor situations~~, ~~as well as rules for wearing armor over natural armor~~.		* PASSIVE SHIELD DEFENSE: Historically, sometimes shields were sometimes hung on the body and used as a passive defense when wielding weapons that required two hands. The defense bonus of the shield is reduced and can only be done at the expense of receiving an appropriate penalty to strike while the shield is being used passively. While shields are used passively, the full length of a two-handed weapon may be fully utilized.

	* ~~Non-Weapon proficiencies are awarded freely based on class~~, ~~race, background, cultural and regional origins, etc. Non-Weapon Proficiency Slots can be used to either bolster existing NWPs or to add ones that might not fit into the criteria above~~.		* PIECEMEAL ARMOR: A piecemeal armor system is offered for unique armor situations, as well as rules for wearing armor over natural armor.

	* ~~Spell slots have been replaced with Spell Points~~, ~~which~~ are ~~spent when casting spells~~.		* NON-WEAPON PROFICIENCIES: Non-Weapon proficiencies for characters are awarded freely and without cost, based on class, race, background, cultural and regional origins, etc.: subject to the Dungeon Master's discretion. Non-Weapon Proficiency Slots can be used to either bolster existing NWPs or to add ones that might not fit into the categories above or are not otherwise appropriate.

	* Magic-Users and Illusionists ~~may~~ receive additional Spell Points for high Intelligence scores.		* SPELL POINTS: Spell slots have been replaced with Spell Points, which are spent when casting spells.

			* BONUS SPELL POINTS: Magic-Users and Illusionists receive additional Spell Points for high Intelligence scores in a fashion similar to clerics receiving bonus Spell Points for high Wisdom scores.

'''SKILLS AT CREATION'''

In Storm & Steel, characters will receive many kinds of skills based on their classes, race, occupations, heritage, culture, background, and the general imagination of the player. This step is done after the player selects the character's race, class, and any occupations that the character engages in. The Game Master and the player walk through a condensed list of skills found on their character's skill sheet and record whichever skills are deemed appropriate for the character. Classes award skills as part of the class, as do some races and cultures, and should be considered. While there are Skill Points in Storm & Steel, by default, any Game Master assigned skills typically have no cost. However, any skills that a player desires - that the Game Master deems not to be in reasonable alignment with their class, race, occupation, culture, background, etc., are not free and must be purchased with available Skill Points.

'''SKILLS THAT ARE LIMITED OR NOT FREE OR DO NOT EXIST'''

LIMITING: There may be some skills that a Game Master may limit or even disallow for the character altogether. While certain skills might be certainly be appropriate for a particular class, the Game Master may rule that the character will receive a skill at no cost once they attain a certain level - or if they want it sooner, they must buy the skill with Skill Points. Additionally, for some campaigns, a Game Master may require that an appropriate Non-Player Character or Player Character must be found to train another in a new skill before it can be awarded, whether or not the skill is free.

NON-FREE SKILLS AND EXCEPTIONS: If, for example, a player wishes to have Hiding as a free skill for their Knight character, the Game Master may rule that Hiding must be purchased since it typically may not fit the usual skills learned by squires during training to become a knight. A player could try to persuade the Game Master into awarding Hiding at no cost for that character if they have a good character background concept that might warrant the skill. A Knight, who during their training, was squired to a knight of the Dark Empire who regularly sent their squires to assassinate or spy on his adversary's minions could warrant the gifting of the Hiding skill if the Game Master sinks their teeth into the concept. Sometimes, the Game Master might go with "rule of cool" for character concepts that fit nicely into a concept or campaign.

NON-EXISTENT SKILLS: In some cases, there may be skills that simply do not exist in their milieu. If, for example, a player desires to have Gun Smithing for their character, they should not be allowed to have the skill if there are no firearms in the milieu.

'''BOLSTERING SKILLS'''

Skill Points may be used to raise the score of a skill. This represents a character with additional time, energy, and resources invested into a skill.

Storm & Steel is a medieval fantasy adventure roleplaying game system where players create custom characters that can master magic and combat to make their way through a dangerous world filled with monstrosities, supernatural perils, and deadly combatants. While many of its elements are both familiar and unique to fantasy roleplaying, its robust combat system is new and intuitive.

	The persona is what the world sees - and does not see - as a player controls their character. It is more than the sum of their attributes, powers, abilities, possessions, and other character defining things: it is their personality, traits, quirks, goals, drive, and personal choices that truly define the character.

	Character creation is a cooperative creative process done together with both the guidance of the GameMaster and the Player to bring the necessary pieces of the character together. While a self-guided process will be provided for players to design characters, a hands-on approach by GameMasters is ''more'' desirable to ensure a better fit into the GameMaster's customized milieu. A set of [[character sheets \| character sheets]] will be provided along with the steps needed to fill them.

	Storm & Steel has a ''large'' plethora of both unique and familiar playable fantasy races that can be chosen by players.

	* Storm & Steel rules recognize the advantage and disadvantage of weapon designs versus armor (or lack thereof) and awards attractive bonuses and reasonable penalties for their use.

	==[[Armor \| '''Armor''']]==		==[[S&S: Armor \| '''Armor''']]==

	Storm & Steel offers a great assortment of historical and fantasy armor types, each with their own numerical value that reduces damage scored against the wearer. While more protective heavy armor can reduce movement and Defense bonuses due to weight and mobility considerations, the Damage Reduction may outweigh being struck more often. Shields in Storm & Steel offer Defense bonuses based on their size and award some damage reduction. Metal shields award further bonuses versus ranged weapons. Metal shields, as well as larger shields, do however reduce movement.

	Powers are magical abilities that often have similar effects to that of magic spells but often without the necessity of an incantation to present the power.

	==[[Spells \| '''Spells''']]==		==[[S&S: Spells \| '''Spells''']]==

	Spells are typically created by incantations designed to release some form of magical energy or effect. Sometimes they are a form of magical super-science that follow certain laws of the magical universe, much like the laws of mundane science. Sometimes the spells were created by mighty supernatural beings and gods and left to be used for all-time to those that can fathom them and wield them. Some spells are granted directly by supernatural beings and gods directly, either with or without worship or devotion. When worship is required, the magic spells are considered truly divine.

	While Storm & Steel is easily adapted to any fantasy world, it has its own world rich with life and magic! In it, great empires hammer and claw each other, while multitudes of kingdoms and magic realms feud. Unique varieties of the races of humans exist in sprawling, breathtaking realms, replete with their own distinctive and unrivaled architecture, magical innovations, and weapons of war. Powerful elven kingdoms heartily resist the changing world while dwarves thrive in their mountain citadels of stone and iron and underground civilizations, eagerly battling giants, dragons, and monstrous armies in unending wars. Mighty and old civilizations of both the living and the undead are endlessly at destructive odds. Great swaths of twisted living lands ooze and writhe as supernatural, wicked terrors issue forth from living chasms and hopelessly deep shifting caverns. Dragons and Draconians control vast lands of sprawling empires. Titans and Colossi thunder across distant lands, adversaries to the draconic empires. The rotting dead Colossi, seemingly disinterested with the rest of the world, guard long dead ancient civilizations and places of great power where only the mightiest of heroes and beings would dare venture. Throughout the world, the gods and other powerful divine and supernatural beings dwell, directly influencing those they seek to rule and those they seek to ruin!
