Silvan Elves

Physical Characters

Build: Most are slight of build, and all are thin by mannish standards. Males average 150 pounds; females, 125 pounds.
Coloring: Ruddy of complexion, with sandy hair and blue or green eyes. Generalizations are difficult, however, since they are so many kindreds and there is wide variation among them.
Endurance: They do not carry great burdens, but they are capable of traveling 16-20 hours a day. Silvan Elves do not sleep; instead they rest in a trance for 1-3 hours a day (this restores any Power Points used casting spells).
Height: Males average 6'0"; females 5'9".
Lifespan: They are immortal and will only die due to violence or if they grow weary of life and lose the will to live.
Resistance: They cannot become sick or scarred and are virtually immune to disease. +10 bonus verses cold attacks.
Special abilities: Their vision under moonlight or starlight is as good as a Man's during the height of day. In other situations when there is any light source. Silvan Elves can see at least 50 feet perfectly and fairly well up to 100 feet. In absolute darkness, however, they are no better than Men (i.e., they can't see at all).
The Silvan folk are superb musicians and have tremendous hearing even for Elves +10 to Base Spell attacks from Bardic Spells. They are also elusive: +10 for Trickery and Stalk/Hide maneuvers.

Culture

Clothing & Decorations: Their preferred clothes are usually forest green, grey, or brown, and range from functional designs to fanciful expressions of individual creativity. Their garments lack the formality and pomp typical of Noldo garb.
Fears and Inabilities: None.
Lifestyle: The culture of the Silvan Elves is best charcterized as unstructured and rustic by Elven standards, but rich and relatively advanced when compared to the ways of Men. They have always been independent, but as of late many have settled in kingdoms ruled by the Noldor or Sindar. Still, all the silvan folk enjoy good journey or adventure and most look at life much as a game to be played. Music and trickery are their favourite pastimes. The Silvan Elves are also masters of the wood and know much wood-craft and wood-lore.
Marriage Pattern: Monogamous and for life. They sometimes marry Men. Such unions produce Half-elves.
Religion: Informal and centered around communal celebration and personal meditation. Like all Elves, they worship Varda as giver of Light and maker of the stars. The principal difference is their strong attachment to teh Vala Orome, the "Huntsman and Tamer of Beasts".

Other Factors

Demeanor: They are a fun-loving but guarded folk. Outward mirth often hides their grim intentions.
Languages: Starting Languages: Silvan tongues, which are often called Wood-speech (Bethteur), are their favored languages (Rank 5). The Silvan Elves of Mirkwood and places further west, however, generally use Sindarin (Rank 5) as their native tongue. Because all Elvish has a song-link quality, however, the slightly unique Silvan vocal pattern betrays their racial origin, even when they employ the tongues of the Eldar. Most know Westron (Rank 4) and a little Quenya (Rank 2). Skill Development: Silvan Elves also hbe the opportunity to learn: Adunaic (Rank 2), Atliduk (Rank 4), Logathig (Rank 4), Nahaiduk (Rank 4).
Prejudices: The Silvan seclude themselves more readily than the Eldar, for they have a less friendly history of relations with Men. They despise Orcs, dislike Dwarves, and are suspicious of Men.
Restrictions of Professions: None. Of all the Elven groups, they are the quickest to employ spells, and often use magic fro simple uses of mere tricks. Still they are not normally prone to use magic of great power.

Outfitting Options

Armor: Any. Silvan Elves are a varied group. Some prefer enchanted leather armor, while others favour no protective garb, and guard themselves instead with shield spells.
Clothing: Weapon-users: Silk or cotton blouse (white, beige, pale green, or pale grey); trim-fitting tunic (length varies from mid-calf to mid-thigh) of heavy silk/cotton or leather worked so finely as to drape like fabric (bark brown, leaf green, storm grey); bandoliers crossing the chest, belt around the waist, straps around the limbs to accommodate weapon sheaths; leggings of sturdy canvas or supple leather; sandals or soft boots.
Non-weapon-users: flowing gauze blouse or smock (white, beige, pale green, or pale grey fabric with embroidery from a similar color spectrum), sometimes restrained by a gauze or silk sash, otherwise hanging free; silk leggings, flowing gauze skirt (matching the blouse / smock or bark brown, leaf green, storm grey); heavy silk or gauze mantle fashioned like a cloak with sleeves or elongated (shoulder to waist) arm openings, usually falling to the ankles, often embroidered all over to create a leafy texture; sandals ornamented with gems or carved wood.
Money: Possessions to be bartered or sold: Elven rope (100 feet worth 20sp; holds up to 500 pounds., weighs only 3 pounds), Elven silk (length of 3 yards worth 2gp), or an assortment of precious stones (lapis lazuli, malachite, agate, turquoise, onyx, amber) worth 2gp.

Background Options

Since the Silvan Folk are Elves and tied by their immortality to the Song of Creation, they are bound to Fate and get four background options.

Special Abilities: All available. Replace range 61-65 with: special affinity with trees and woodland foliage; all physical activities performed by the character are at a +15 bonus when in forested terrain.
Special Items: All available. Due to the Silvan fondness for woodland, amny items should be fashioned from fine or enchanted wood, even weaponry typically metal in other cultures. Steel, silver, white gold, tasarang, and bronze are also possible materials.

The Sindar

Coloring: Most fair hair and pale blue or grey eyes. Like the Noldor, they have light skin.
Endurance: They do not carry great burdens, but they are capable of travelling 16-20 hours a day. The Sindar do not sleep; instead they rest in a trance for 1-3 hours a day (this restores any Power Points used casting spells).
Height: Males average 6'5"; females 6'1".
Lifespan: They are immortal and will only die due to violence or if they grow weary of life and lose the will to live.
Resistance: They cannot become sick or scarred and are virtually immune to disease. +15 bonus verses cold attacks.
Special Abilities: Sindar vision under moonlight or starlight is as good as Man's during the height of day. In other situations when there is any light source, Sindar can see at least 50' perfectly and fairly well up to 100'. In absolute darkness, however, they are no better than Men (i.e., they can't see at all).

Culture

Clothing & Decoration: Sinda clothing is exceedingly well made, yet subtle and utilitarian. They do not favor the rice garb of their Noldor cousins. Greys and silvers are their chosen colors.
Fears & Inabilities: None.
Lifestyle: The Sindar are the most open and cooperative of Middle-Earth's Elves. They are great teachers and borrowers and have an interest in the works of all races. This is in contrast to the more inquisitive Noldor, who are quick to scoff at things which are subtle or modest in appearance or utility. Grey-elves are a settled people and enjoy the company of others. Unlike the Silvan Elves, they build towns and havens and gather in close knit communities. Many of the Sindar feel a kinship to the sea. They build superb ships and are renowned sailors.
Marriage Pattern: Monogamous and for life. They sometimes marry mortal Men. Such unions produce Half-elves.
Religion: Informal and centered around communal celebration and personal meditation, just as those of other Elves. Like the Noldor, they revere Eru and see Varda as their patron Vala. Given their love for sailing and the sea, they also have a special respect for Ulmo, the "Lord of Waters".

Other Factors

Demeanor: Of the three Elven races of Middle-Earth, the Sindar are the quietest and calmest, and appear to be the most content. They are less frivolous and playful than the Silvan Elves and are less fiery and passionate than the Noldor. Sindar feelings are deep and not easily aroused, but when they are they cannot be stayed. This is the root of their Sea-longing.
Languages: Starting Language: Their own speech Sindarin (Rank 5) has become the principal speech of all the Elves of northwestern Middle-Earth and has heavenly influenced mannish tongues. Nonetheless, the Sindar know Weston (Rank 5), Bethteur or Silvan Elvish (Rank 4), and some Quenya (Rank 3). Skill Development: Sindar also have the opportunity to learn: Adunaic (Rank 3), Atliduk (Rank 4), Logathig (Rank 4), Nahaiduk (Rank 4) or Rohirric (Rank 3).
Prejudices: The Sindar are great friends of most races and have remained particularly close to Dwarves. Their chief enemies are Orcs, Wargs, and Dragons.
Restrictions of Professions: None.

Armor: Any. Sindar prefer to derive the protection given by armor from magical clothing (robes, capes, gauntlets, belts, veils) where such is available rather than from encumbering leather or metal suits.
Clothing: Smock of gauze or light silk; close-fitting vest or tunic of fine linen, cotton, or heavy silk - tunics vary in length from short garment's barely extending below the waist to long ones slit up the sides for freedom of movement; leather or metal belt or a sash of linen or silk; close-fitting hose or a sarong skirt of lucent organdy or heavy silk reaching from mid-calf to the ankles; boots or decorative open sandels; hip-length cape. The colors of the garments are all variations on white and grey; cream, eggshell, ivory, pearl, lemon, charcoal, taupe, blue-grey, rose-grey, green-grey, smoke, silver, beige, etc. Embroidery and applique are used sparingly, usually to create texture or pattern (as with white on white or cream on lemon) rather than for contrast (white on charcoal or blue-grey on ivory).
Money: Gems (clear quartz, blond chalcedony, zircon, mother-of-pearl, white spinel) worth a total of 2 gold pieces.

Background Options

Since the Sindar are Elves and tied by their immortality to the Song of Creation, they are strongly bound to Fate and get only three background points.

The Noldor

Finwë was the first King of the Noldor, which is counted among the Eldar as the second Kindred. Finwë's sons - Fëanor, Fingolfin, and Finarfin - produced the three traditional lines which compose the whole of the Noldor.

Physical Character

Build: Of all the Elves, the Noldor are the strongest and sturdiest of build, although they are still slimmer than Men. Males average 215 pounds; females, 175 pounds.
Coloring: Most are dark haired and have greyish eyes which betray a proud demeanor. Descendents of the Fingolfin and Finarfin are often fair haired and blue eyed, for their blood contains Vanyar influences.
Endurance: They do not carry great burdens, but they are capable of traveling 16-20 hours a day. The Noldor do not sleep; instead they rest in a trance for 1-3 hours a day (this restores any Power Points used casting spells).
Height: Males average 6'7"; females, 6'3".
Lifespan: They are immortal and will only die due to violence or if they grow weary of life and lose the will to live.
Resistance: They cannot become sick or scarred and are virtually immune to disease. +20DB and RR bonuses verses cold attacks.
Special Abilities: No race sees better outside during the darkness of night than the Elves. Noldo vision under moonlight or starlight is as good as a Man's during the height of day. In other situations when there is any light source, Noldor can see at least 50' perfectly and fairly well up to 100'. In absolute darkness, however, they are no better than Men (i.e., they can't see at all). Their hearing range is three times the norm. Noldor are unparalleled at understanding and working with crafts. +20 for Use Item rolls.

Culture

Clothing & Decoration: They favor rich clothing and fine craftmanship, and often have the appearance of great wealth.
Fears & Inabilities: None.
Lifestyle: Of all the Elves of Middle-Earth, the Noldor are the most ordered. While their brethren are content to wander or mark time in quiet diffusion, the Noldor seek to build communities and states in beautiful, guarded place.
Marriage Pattern: Monogamous and for life. They sometimes marry mortal Men. Such unions produce Half-elves.
Religion: Informal and centered around communal celebration and personal meditation. Like Dwarves, the Noldor are fiery craftsmen who are fast friends of Aule. The Smith imbued them with heightened respect for physical objects. It is not surprising, then, to find that the Noldor revere Aule more than any other Vala, save Varda herself. Like all Elves, they worship Varda as giver of Light and maker of the stars.

Other Factors

Demeanor: Regardless of the line, all Noldor are noble of bearing and carry themselves with assurance. They are haughty and often appear to be arrogant. Of all the elves, they are the most inquisitive and passionate, being full of a desire for experience and expertise in the arts and the ways of the world. Because of this thirst for knowledge, the Noldor have often fallen pray to lust, corruption, and strife.
Language: Starting Language: The Noldorin tongue is Quenya (Q. "The Speech: pronounced Kwen-ya), and they embrace it as their tongue (Rank 5), but largely confine its use to their own environs. It is still the exclusive language of ceremonies, writings, and oral traditions, regardless of circumstance.
For speech outside of their own quiet territory, the Noldor employ the language of their more numerous Sinda cousins, Sindarin (Rank 5). When dealing with Men or races unacquainted with Sindarian, they rely on the Common Tongue of Westron (Rank 5) or, more rarely Adunaic of the Dunedain (Rank 3). Skill Development: Noldor also have the opportunity to learn: Labba (Rank 3) or the Silvan Tongues, Bethteur (Rank 4).
Prejudices: The Noldor hate Orcs, Trolls, and Dragons above all creatures. Due to their pride they tend to look down upon non-Dunadan Men.
Restrictions on Professions: None. The term Noldor means "Wise" or "Knowing", and serves as a fine label for the Second Kindred. For this reason, they produce the greatest number of Elven Bards and Loremasters.

Outfitting Options

Weapons: Dagger, broadsword, mace, composite bow, long bow, flail, two-handed sword, quarterstaff, javelin, lance. RM options: falchion, foil, main gauche, rapier, bastard's sword, irgaak, kynac, long knife.
Armor: Any. Noldor prefer to derive the protection given by armor from magical items (rings, bracelets, tiaras) where such are available rather than from encumbering leather or metal.
Clothing: Males: fine linen, cotton, or silk shirt or blouse often pure white in color; jewel-hued velvet or silk tunic (sapphire, emerald, ruby, amethyst, topaz), sometimes with slashed sleeves revealing the shirt beneath, sometimes sleeveless, usually embroidered or appliqued with geometric or weapon-inspired motifs; velvet or brocade mantle with wide sleeves, cape-like body, and varying in length from the hip to the ankles; close-fitting hose; soft boots rising only the ankles or as high as the knee.
Females: fine linen, cotton, or silk shift often pure white in color; jewel-hued silk or velvet gown, sometimes with slashed sleeves to reveal the sleeves of the shift underneath, sometimes sleeveless, often embroidered or appliqued at the neck, hem, sleeves; belt of silk, velvet, or decorative cord that encircles the waist and the hips to be knotted or otherwise secured in front; soft slippers or ankle boots; velvet or brocade mantel with wide sleeves, cape-like body, and hanging to the ankles. Females who leave the Elven havens to go adventuring often don garb similar to that worn by males.
Money: Gems (peridot, aquamarine, beryl, citrine, tourmaline) worth a total of 2 gold pieces.

Background

Since the Noldor are Elves and tied by their immortality to the Song of Creation, they are strongly bound to Fate and get only two background points.

Special Abilities: All available. Replace range 61-65 with: sensitive to Essence, the way it pools and flows; this sensitivity cause the character to be immediately aware of the presence of any enchantments or spells (cast by Essence-users only, not Channelling) within 50 feet.

Hobbits

Physical Character

Build: Smallest of the speaking people, Hobbits average between 2 and 4 feet in height, and tend to be fat or pudgy. They have large and hairy feet – to the point of being furry.
There are three principal varieties, or types, of Hobbits: the Harfoots, Stoors, and Fallohides. The Fallohides are the tallest (average: males, 3’9”, 65 pounds; females, 3’7”, 62 pounds). They have fair skin and, of all the groups, resemble Men the most. Their numbers are small, however, and some observers have confused them with nearby mannish groups.
The most common Hobbits are Harfoots. They are the smallest in size (average: males, 3’5”, 54 pounds; females 3’3”, 51 pounds) and the darkest in colour, having brown skin and hair. Neat and uniformly beardless, they are in many ways the picture of the average Hobbit.
The Stoors are the stockiest Hobbit folk and often appear shorter than some of the Harfoots because of their wide profile. Generally, however, they are taller than the Harfoots and shorter than Fallowhides (average: males, 3’7”, 66 pounds; females 3’5”, 62 pounds). Their coloration is also somewhat of a compromise although they have curly brown hair which resembles that of their shorter cousins. Nonetheless, the most distinguishing features of Stoors are their huge hands and feet (large even by Hobbit standards) and frequent beard growth. Endurance: Hobbits have a subtle ruggedness which is akin to that of Dwarves and Orcs. When pushed, they can travel long distances over tough terrain, despite the fact that their normal routine requires frequent meals and relaxation.
Lifespan: 90 – 110 years. They become adults at 30.
Resistance: Their feet and hands are almost immune to heat and cold. Accordingly, the are almost always barefoot. Their innate simplicity and innocence gives them heightened resistance to magical attacks.
Special Abilities: Dexterous, they move nimbly and quietly. Their long, strangely slender fingers allow them to craft fine handiwork and help explain their fine reputation as thieves.

Culture

Clothing & Decoration: They wear linen or wool garb – shirts, pants which fall to the upper ankle, and brightly colored vests. They occasionally don hats, but rarely wear shoes or gloves.
Fears & Inabilities: Hobbits shy away from the bizarre or unusual, but otherwise have normal dispositions.
Lifestyle: they are capable craftsmen, but are not friends of complex machines or magic. Their vices are few: six hefty meals a day, pipeweed smoking, and bright apparel. Still, regardless of this dull and insular lifestyle, the Hobbits’ stayed approach to life has proved successful; in the face of wars, plagues, and famines, they have survived relatively undisturbed.
Some Hobbits are curious enough to travel or adventure a bit, and the Fallohides have produced a considerable number of rather bold individuals. Each Hobbit tribe has its own favorite locale: Fallohides enjoy the woodlands found in cool northern climes; Harfoots favour hillsides and highlands; and Stoors prefer riversides and flatlands. Accordingly, their preferences have had an effect on their living patterns. The onservative Harfoots, for instance, have always had sites for their traditional smials or Hobbit-hole houses, while the Stoors and Fallohides have begun relying on surface dwellings of wood, brick, or stone.
All the Hobbits enjoy the simple life of farmers, millers, and craftsmen. Workshops and sheds dot their territories, uniformly low structures, for the halflings hate towers and rarely build above the first story. In the shire (K. “Sûza) the traditional office of the ruling Thain is hereditary.
Marriage Pattern: Monogamous. Harfoots and Fallohides trace their lines through either their male or female. Stoors trace theirs through the female.
Religion: Hobbit religion is without exception low-key and informal. It is actually a series of joyful celebrations centering on the gifts of Nature. Mid-years (midsummers) is the time for the summer festival, while the two Yule days at the beginning and end of the year mark the beginning of the return of the Sun and the march towards Spring. Harvest times, of course, are always of special note.

Other Factors

Demeanor: Hobbits are basically cheery, conservative, unassuming, and peaceful folk. Ambition is not part of their makeup. Most are conformists who avoid the unknown and shun adventure, preferring instead to stay within the comforts of neat, humble villages.
Language: Starting Languages: Hobbits speak their own subtle variant of Westron (Rank 5) which is modern Hobbitish. This adoption of the Common Speech is indicative of their subtle adaptability, for the whole of the tribes abandoned the original Kuduk tongue when they migrated out of the Rhovanion in the 13th and 14th centuries of the Third Age. The traditional Westron name for Hobbits is Banakil (W. “Halfling”). Skill Development: Hobbits also have the opportunity to learn: Adûnaic (Rank 4), Kuduk (Rank 5), Sindarin (Rank 4).
Prejudices: Fallohides are the most prone to mingle with Big People. Stoors rarely deal with other races, and the Harfoots, for the most part, prefer to interact with the grim Dwarves. All Hobbits share in hating Wargs and Orcs.
Restrictions on Professions: Hobbits produce no Mages, Animists, Bards, or Rangers.

Outfitting Options

Weapons: dagger, handaxe, short sword, club, short bow, sling. RM options: blackjack, jo, pilum, throwing stars.
Armor: None or soft or rigid leather. Only in rare circumstances will a Hobbit acquire something like Bilbo’s shirt of Elven chain mail.
Clothing: Males: white or cream linen shirt; colourful (royal blue, scarlet, grass green) waistcoat or vest, often embellished with embroidery or made from an ornate brocade; leather belt with a pewter, gold, or brass buckle; loose woollen trousers with legs that reach anywhere from just below the knee to just above the ankle, often stripped (bright yellow, green, blue, orange), always vibrantly dyed.
Females: white or cream linen blouse and petticoat; dirndlstyled woollen jumpers in a bright hue (lemon yellow, fuchsia pink, sky blue, apple green, turkey red), reaching to mid-calf; bodice (in a contrasting color) that laces up the front; lace or crocheted shawl knotted around the top of the shoulders; white or cream linen apron.
Money: 20 silver pieces of Arnorian mint.

Background Options

Those Hobbits who dare venture away from home are assumed to be extraordinary, and therefore get five background options.

Special Abilities: Range 71 – 75 not available (re-roll).
Special Items: Spell adders and items that cast spells not available. Only items that perform a natural task in a superior way (weapon, saddle, rope, lockpick, etc.) would be present in Hobbitish society.

Beornings

Physical Character

Build: Physically, the Beornings are the largest of the Northman, and all are strong of build and bone structure. Men are exceedingly hairy; they average 215 pounds. Women average 145 pounds.
Colouring: Their complexions are fair, but unlike most Northmen (who are usually blond), the majority have reddish hair.
Endurance: Beornings need sleep only twice every three days.
Height: Men average 6’4”; women 5’7”.
Lifespan: 80 – 100 years.
Resistance: Average.
Special Abilities: Wild animals will not attack a Beorning unless actively provoked.

Culture

Clothing & Decoration: They are extremely hairy, and their tendency to wear furs gives them an “animal-like” appearance. Favoring rugged tunics, capes, and woollen pats with leggings, they rarely wear any traditional armor.
Fears & Inabilities: They shy away from civilized areas.
Lifestyle: Beornings have traditionally lived in small groups or single families on well-tended “manors”. Some, like Beorn’s line, have favoured relative lowlands, while the majority reside in the passes and foothills of the Misty Mountains or Grey Mountains. In each case, their presence is extremely subtle. Beorning families tend both themselves and their surrounding manors with the aid of a wide variety of friendly animals, members of the household which appear tame to the outsider. Males leave their manors for extended periods in order to conduct military, religious, or social affairs.
Marriage Pattern: Monogamous. The line is traced through the male.
Religion: Centers on the ancient Cult of the Bar (Rh. “Bairakyn”). The head of the Cult, or Waildanbair (Rh. “Ruling Bear”), is the foremost of the Shape-changes. During their secluded ceremonies, these Men take the form of bears and recreate their ancient legends and epics using complex dance rituals. These gatherings occur at specific holy places which have some connection to their patron Vala Oromë (whom they call Araw).

Other Factors

Demeanor: Beornings are loners by nature, but enjoy their rare moments with others. Generous and normally quiet and introspective, they can become jovial and explosive when in social situations. Their deep, thundering laughter is legend. As warriors, Beornings are fierce and often uncontrollable. This is particularly true of the rare Shape-changes, for they have a tendency to transform into Bears when outraged or overly stimulated. Once Bears, they can attack with tremendous force, but they have little more than single-minded instinct to work upon.
Language: Starting Languages: Beornings generally use two forms of communication: their standard language Atliduk (Rank 5) and they system of Nature-signals called Waildyth (Rank 5). The latter can be used to speak over long distances without betraying one’s presence, since the sounds are merely variations on the noises of the wild-beasts, the wind, and the like. Most Beornings also know Westron (Rank 5) and the Woodman tongue Nahaiduk (Rank 5). Skill Development: Beornings also have the opportunity to learn: Logathig (Rank 4), Sindarin (Rank 4), or Silvan Elvish, Bethteur (Rank 3).
Prejudices: Beornings hate Orcs, Wargs, Trolls, Giants and Dragons.
Restrictions on Professions: Beornings produce no Mages. A few, however, are Shape-changers who can change crom Man to Bear-form, but have limited control over this process.

Outfitting Options

Weapons: dagger, handaxe, broadsword, club, mace, whip, bola, short bow, sling, quaterstaff. RM options: woodsman’s axe, cudgel, jo, cabis.
Armor: None or soft or rigid leather.
Clothing: Males: Soft or sueded leather tunic (with sleeves reaching from mid-forearm to the wrist) trimmed with fur (rabbit, beaver, mink, marten, sable) at the neck, waist, wrists, and hem; leggings or soft or sueded leather; stout leather boots; cloak made from a der, bear, or cougar pelt.
Females: the same garments described above with the addition of a full suede skirt (Falling to mid-calf or the ankles) trimmed with furs at its hem; or a caftan-styled gown of soft leather with its pleats hanging from a yoke and possessing long wide sleeves. Varying shades of tan, brown, and red are the favoured colors for Beorning garments. Small spots of yellow, white, or sky blue occasionally are used ornamentally in a yoke at neck or waist. Women who go adventuring often wear leggings without a skirt if they must be prepared for combat.
Money: Goods to be bartered or exchanged for coinage: 10 deerskins, finely worked, worth 2 sp each; 5 otter pelts worth 4 sp each; 4 beaver pelts worth 5 sp each.

Background options

Those Beorings who leave their thight society are assumed to be special, and get five background options.

Special Abilities: All available. Modification to range 71-75: the spell list learned must be within the realm of Channeling.
Special Items: No items casting Essence spells or enhancing Essence-using abilities are available. Channeling spells, although rare, may be present, as may the enhancement of Channeling abilities. Beorning craftsmanship is excellent, although their work is rustic and lacks the refinement typical of Elvish crafts.
Extra Money: A selection of pelts worth 1 – 200 gp (black fox, 5 gp; marten, 8 gp; black sable, 10 gp; ermine, 13 gp; golden sable, 15 gp; mink, 11 gp; red sable, 12 gp; white fox, 7 gp).
Hobbies: Primary Skills: moving and maneuvering in no armor, soft leather, or rigid leather, any weapon skills except two-handed or pole arms, climb, ride, swim, track, ambush, stalk/hide, perception, body development, Channeling spell lists. Secondary Skills: acrobatics, animal handling, boat-handling, caving, cookery, first aid, foraging, signalling, sky-watching, Artistic Skills: painting, storytelling, dance, chanting. Athletic Skills: rappelling. Craft Skills: wood-craft, leathercrafts, fletching. Influence skills: public speaking, trading. Lore Skills: animal lore.
Stat Increases: Any stat may be increased.
Extra Languages: In addition to the tongues listed above, a Beorning might in unusual circumstances learn: Labba (Rank 3), Orkish (Rank 3).

Black Numenoreans

Black Numenoreans, therefore, are actually very similar in physical and cultural character to the Dunedain. Certainly changes have occurred after their centuries of separate development, but both groups have actively sought to remain relatively pure and true to their origins.

Physical Character

Build: Strong and imposing, with angular features. Men average 225 pounds; women, 150 pounds.
Coloring: After long years in the hot South, the Black Numenoreans have tanned, grey-brown skin, and black hair. Their piercing eyes are various shades of grey.
Endurance: Considerable.
Height: Men average 6’4”; women, 5’10”.
Lifespan: 90-175 years.
Resistance: Average.
Special Abilities: +25 to boat-handling maneuvers. +10 to melee Offensive Bonuses; -10 to Defensive Bonus.

Culture

Clothing & Decoration: Black and gold are their favoured colors. They wear rich clothing made of dyed silk and cotton. Gems and feathers add elaboration. They wear rich clothing made of dyed silk and cotton. Gems and feathers add elaboration. The karma – Numenor’s famous over-lapping scale helm surmounted by a colored leather fish crest – is still in use.
Fears & Inabilities: They fear Death, but not in battle. Confidence and passion lead them to believe they can overcome any known physical enemy.
Lifestyle: Black Numenorean culture reflects a rigid slant. Their societies are well-ordered and ruled by force of personality, backed by harsh law. Dictators and oligarchs hold sway over the people, most of whom are subject races who serve and pay tribute to the Black Numenorean upper class. Warriors are considered the elite, and most Men serve in the army at one time in their lives. This has enabled them to almost always be at war. Superb craftsmen and fighters, the Black Numenoreans are experts at ship-building and naval warfare.
Marriage Pattern: Monogamous. The line is traced through the male.
Religion: Organized religion is the norm among Black Numenoreans. The most important cults are those pertaining to death and the afterlife, for these old Numenorean concerns have been perpetuated and modified. Mummification is the norm. Namo is the only Vala accorded respect.
Most revere their own local heroes or gods associated with war, power, terror, and the unknown. They see the untamed Darkness as the only frontier they cannot master; therefore they worship it. Those few that still worship the Valar favour Tulkas the Strong, the greatest master of strength and deed. It is the always-laughing Tulkas who best embodies the spirit of raw strength, for he is quick to make war, weak of counsel, forthright, and sworn of passion and honor.

Other Factors

Demeanor: Black Numenoreans are generally haughty and self-centred – rash, confident, and full of pride. They believe in their own superiority and support the view that it is the destiny of their race to rule Middle-earth. Their views have made them quick to strike a blow; warlike and single-minded, they enjoy a fight. When in a superior position they will rarely offer quarter.
Language: Starting Languages: they have a strong passion for tradition and have, therefore, maintained the adunaic tongue of Numenor in a relatively pure form (Rank 5). Most also know Westron (Rank 5) and Haradaic (Rank 5). Skill Development: Black Numenoreans also have the opportunity to learn : Apysaic (Rank 5).
Prejudices: Black Numenoreans are biased against nearly every other people, but their prejudices against the Elves and the Dunedain are particularly vehement.
Restrictions on Profession: None.

Outfitting Options

Weapons: Dagger, scimitar, broadsword, short sword, mace, morning star, composite bow, battle-axe, flail, quarterstaff, two-handed sword, lance, spear. RM options: bastard sword, cat of nine tails, armored fist, falchion, harpoon, pole arm, long sword, shang.
Armor: Any. Prefer scale mail armor.
Clothing: Males: silk or cotton blouse of rich hue (wine, purple, cobalt, absinthe) with beadwork ornamenting the neck (seed pearls; beads of jade, carnelian, malachite, agate or lapis lazuli); tabard or over-tunic of silk, black or gold preferred, ornamented with embroidery in metallic threat (gold, electrum, bronze); wrist bracers of gold or bronze with geometric engraving; belt of metal or leather with extensive metallic ornamentation; silken hose; leather slippers decorated with metallic embroidery; cloak of spangled gauze or of feathers.
Females: Silk or cotton gown of rich hue (burgundy, violet, indigo, cerulean) with beadwork ornamenting the sleeves, neck, and hemline (seed pearls; beads of jade, carnelian, malachite, agate, or lapis lazuli; gemstone spangles of diamond, ruby, emerald, topaz, etc.); tabard or over-tunic of silk, black or gold preferred, ornamented with embroidery in metallic thread (gold, electrum, bronze) and gold, onyx or black opal beadwork; belt of mental or leather with extensive metallic ornamentation; leather slippers with beadwork or embroidery over their entire surfaces; cloak of spangled gauze or of feathers.
Money: 2 gold pieces.

Background Options

Due to their stratified society and rigid upbringing, they get three background options.

Special Abilities: All available. Modification to range 56-60: the animal with whom the character feels an empathetic bond should be a predator; i.e., a hawk, not a song bird; a ferret, not a ground hog; a great cat, not a horse; etc.
Special Items: All available. Numenorean workmanship is superb and favors geometric motifs as well as strong contrasts such as that shown by the favoured juxtaposition of onyx and gold.

Corsair

Physical Character

Build: Strong of build. Males average 215 pounds; women, 145 pounds.
Coloring: Corsairs are generally fair skinned and have grey or bluish eyes and black or dark brown hair.
Endurance: Considerable. They do not get seasick.
Height: Men average 6’3”; women, 5’9”.
Lifespan: 95 – 190 years.
Resistance: Normal.
Special Abilities: +25 bonus for sky-watching activity.

Culture

Clothing & Decoration: Corsairs favour purple, red, and gold clothing made from silk or fine cotton. They wear tunics and only rarely don leggings. Men wear gold collars, while women are well-adorned with jewelry.
Fears & Inabilities: Disease and illness, and their own natural mortality.
Lifestyle: Corsair culture reflects the conservative elements found among Gondor’s aristocracy, only it is carried to an extreme. The warm coastal influence of Umbar has added some additional influences, mostly Black Nύmenόrean, and the result is a throwback to the ancient marine culture of Nύmenόr.
Marriage Pattern: Monogamous. Line is traced through male.
Religion: Corsair religion is preoccupied with Death and Darkness, and largely revolves around ancestor and hero worship. Great Nύmenόrean Kings are revered as godlike. Ceremonies dwell on the perpetuation of the life of the individual and, more importantly, the lineage. The dead are buried with elaborate fanfare and are laid to rest in a preserved state, one of pronounced splendour. Some revere Námo, the Keeper of the Dead, or Varda.

Other Factors

Demeanor: Aggressive, haughty, determined, embittered – the Corsairs have the attitude of royalty in unjust exile.
Language: Starting Languages: The first tongue of the Corsairs is Adûnaic (Rank 5), since they identify it with Nύmenόr and the line of the Dύnedain. All of them speak Gondor’s Common Speech, Westron (Rank 5), as well as the Haradaic (Rank 4) of Umbar’s citizenry. Skill Development: Corsairs also have the opportunity to learn: Apysaic (Rank 4), Atliduk (Rank 3), Nahaiduk (Rank 3), or Rohirric (Rank 3).
Prejudices: The Corsairs are a minority group and are locked in a constant struggle with their allies the Black Nύmenόreans and Haradrim. They look upon both groups with suspicion and some disdain. The Black Nύmenόreans, like the Dύnedain, have in many cases married the subject peoples and the Corsairs consider this a sign of weakness. They view the Haradrim as yet another inferior race, one which must be tolerated. Their greatest enemy is the Northmen (Rohirrim, Woodmen, Beornings, etc.), because they are held to blame for the Kin-strife.
Restrictions on Profession: None.

Outfitting Options

Clothing: Males: silk or cotton blouse in the rich colors favoured by the Corsairs (scarlet, purple, gold), usually with embroidered borders at the wrists and neck; silk or cotton tunic (Also in a rich hue), often worn without a shirt , reaching to anywhere between the ankles and just above the knee, possessing an elaborate hem (fringed, crenelated, scalloped); belt of heavy gold plates engraved with sea motifs; collar of engraved gold plates; sandals or leather boots.

Dorwinrim

Physical Character

Build: Dorwinrim are slightly larger than most groups labelled as “Common Men”. Males average 155 pounds; females, 110 pounds. Overall, they are somewhat stocky and have wide features; narrow noses and eye slits are the only exception.
Coloring: Their fair, slightly yellowish complexion is unique. They have subdued eyes which are usually brown (like their straight hair), although some are blue or green.
Endurance: Average.
Height: Men average 59”; women, 5’2”.
Lifespan: 60-80 years.
Resistance: Normal.
Special Abilities: +30 bonus to RR versus poisons. +16 for situations involving acting or public speaking. +10 for boat-handling maneuvers.

Culture

Clothing & Decoration: A wide variety of wools and linens. They wear shirts and pants and adorn themselves modestly.
Fears & Inabilities: None.
Lifestyle: They are traders and river-men who abandoned their nomadic past in favour of an urban, albeit rustic live. Dorwinion is known for its fine wines and strong oils. Hardy vines cover the land and provide the principal sources of income: grapes and wine. Threes produce olives and olive oil.
Additional revenue comes from the see of Rhûn: shellfish products, food, and dyes bring good money to the Dorwinrim.
Marriage Pattern: Monogamous. The line is traced through the male or female.
Religion: Dorwinadan religion is a prominent and stable element. It is a unifying force among a people who have no formal law and equate authority with power. Donu, a local manifestation of Yavanna, is the Queen of their pantheon. She is their one “Mother Goddess.”
Worship centers around tribal and clannish totems (L. “Igana”), holy symbols which represent deified heroes blessed by the Donu. The heroes are believed to have power over the places they influenced during life and hold sway over their descendants. Therefore, a family or clan guards it territory religiously. The totems are also crucial, since they are believed to have real power and are the sole means of communication with the hero they represent.

Other Factors

Demeanor: The Dorwinrim are known for their hardy, hospitable character. Most favour strong drink and story-telling and never shy away from a celebration. Their distinct rolling laughter and physical closeness (e.g., hugging) adds to their reputation of friendliness, although it is somewhat deceiving; a Dorwinadan may appear closer than he really is. The Dorwinrim are amazingly loyal to friends, and distinctly short or cruel with enemies.
Language: Starting Languages: The Dorwinrim are well-versed in the commercial tongues of northwest and north-central Middle-earth. They speak fluent Westron (Rank 5) and Logathig (Rank 5), the latter in their own home tongue. Since they frequently deal with the Silvan Elves, many have acquainted themselves with Silvan speech or Sindarin (Rank 3). Skill Development: Dorwinrim also have the opportunity to learn: Atliduk (Rank 4), Haradaic (Rank 3), Nahaiduk (Rank 4), Varadja (Rank 3).

Weapons: Battle-axe, broadsword, club, dagger, halbard, javelin, long bow, quarterstaff, scimitar, short bow, sling, two-handed sword. RM options: irgaak, jo, katana, long sword, no-dachi, throwing stars.
Armor: Nay. Dorwinrim prefer the lighter types of armor, although a warrior garbed in a full suit of chain or plate mail is not unknown.
Clothing: Males: linen shirt or blouse, usually cream or white; short woollen vest, sometimes with decorative points at the hem, sometimes cut straight, usually with panels of fabric in contrasting earthy hues (rust and black, soft brown and dull yellow, brick and dark brown, etc.); loose woollen trousers in subdued colors (black, dark grey, tank, sienna, bone, taupe, umber, etc.); linen sash or leather belt; wooden clogs or sturdy leather boots; long, full coat, often with quilting and trapunto to provide protection in the severe weather that visits the area in winter.
Females: linen shirt or blouse, usually cream or white; woollen vest, usually more form-fitting on women of marriageable age, looser on children and matrons, with panels of fabric in contrasting earthy shares (orange and charcoal, black and bone, taupe and dark brown, etc.); full woollen skirt in subdued colors (rust, dark grey, tan, sienna, brick, dull yellow, umber, etc.); linen sash or leather belt; wooden clogs or sturdy leather boots; long, full coat, with elaborate quilting and trapunto.
Money: 20 silver pieces or 10 kysûri, the unique ivory coinage of the Dorwinrim.

Background Options

Dunedain

Lifestyle: Comfortable and centred around cosmopolitan cities and towns.

Woses

The Woses have many names. They call themselves Drughu. Drύedain, (sing. Drύadan) is the label given to them by Elves, while Men use various terms: Pûkel-men, Wild Men, Drugs, or Woses, the latter a Westron construction. Orcs fear the Woses and have named them Oghor-hai.

Physical Character

Build: Woses generally have a broad, stumpy profile marked by wide faces, flat features, and deep-set eyes. Short, thick legs, heavy lower bodies, and pronounced brows help give them an eerie character – unlike any other Men.
This uniqueness is accentuated by their peculiar hair growth, for few of the Wose Men have any hair below their eye level. Those that do are revered, although even they have no more than a lender patch of black chin hair which lies will below their wide mouths. Nearly all Wose Men are bald from the forehead to the back centre of their squat skulls, but take pride in the hair they have along the flanks of the head.
Males average 145 pounds; women, 135 pounds.

Coloring: Ruddy skin, black hair, and black eyes. Because the Woses have guarded eyes which ae dark and set with black pupils, they appear to gaze from the shadowy pools which might be mistaken at a distance for a pair of cavities. One must get quite close to a Wose to notice any eye movement at all, much less any of the subtle distinctions in the eyes themselves. This haunting feature is made even more unsettling when a Wose is angry; then the pupils flow with a fiery red hue.
Endurance: Average.
Height: Males average 4’9”; women 4’4”.
Lifespan: 30-50 years.
Resistance: Average.
Special Abilities: The wide noses of the Woses are the most sensitive found in Man. Even in an open field, they can smell an Orc before another Man can see him. Together with their strong eyesight, they can track better than almost any hunting hound. Only running water will stay their pursuit. This is even true at night. Since Woses are blessed with superb night-vision. Even in the dark forest of the night they can see 1000 feet s if it were daylight. +25 bonus to racking maneuvers; +15 bonus for foraging.
They have the ability to sit for days on end without movement. With legs crossed, hands on their laps or knees, and eyes closed or facing groundward, they can remain silent as a statue. This affords them peace and allows for recall or mediation. Unfortunately, it apparently does nothing to lengthen their years, for the Woses generally die at a young age.

Culture

Clothing & Decoration: They often braid their hair, pulling it back to join behind in multiple tails. Woses ear little or no clothing or adornments. Instead, they prefer to go about relying on their rugged bodies, using pigments to create imagery. Those that are most acquainted with other Men occasionally don hide leggings and breechcloth, and in rugged terrain they employ a distinct high, thick-soled laced shoe. Beyond these trappings, they have little use of the costumes of other Men.
Fears & Inabilities: Woses do not like towns and cities.
Lifestyle: Wose culture revolves round the forests and plants they hold so der. They are frugal and eat little, even In the best of times, and they partake of not drink but water. Being exclusively vegetarian, they live on the gifts of the woodlands and are quick to acquire an understanding of the nature and location of nearly every plant in an area – regardless of its size. Only the Elves and Ents exceed their skills in carving and plant-lore.
It is for their stone sculpture that the Woses are best known. They carve a variety of motifs and beasts, and employ a particular form in the making of life-like “watch-stones” (Pûkel-men). These are guardian statues which they place to protect paths, entries, crossroads, and the like. Legends surround the watch-stones, most of which are true. It is clear that they are enchanted. Orcs fear them most of all, and with good cause, since the Woses can communicate with watch-stones of their making and can derive knowledge from the carvings’ “experience.” Some very powerful watch-stones actually come to life in order to guard their posts – acting instead of their creator – although in such a case, the Wose sculptor will feel all the pain of his creation. They pace these watch-stones and hideous statues around the borders of their lands and at various sensitive sites. Some are used to do no more than dishearten their foes.
Marriage Pattern: Monogamous, producing few young. The line is traced through the female.
Religion: Many of the watch-stones stand over the Wose holy sites. Unlike many of the other men, particularly the Dunlendings with whom the Woses are often associated, the Woses have a strong tradition of organized worship. This is pronounced animism which revolves around a reverence of Nature. They hold Eru and the Valar in proper awe, although they have their own view of the nature of the masters of the world. Of all the Valar, they worship none more than Yavanna, the Giver o Fruits and Queen of the Earth, whom they call “Mam-ugu-Mam.” It is she who presides over the kelvar (plants), and it is the plants which breath life into the world of the Woses.

Other Factors

Demeanor: Woses generally seclude themselves from other folk and do not take on friends easily, but when they do, they are unwaveringly loyal. Those that do get to know them will be impressed by their frequent bouts of laughter, since the Woses will laugh when others since. Their rich and unrestrained joviality forms quite a contrast to their usual demeanor; normally they appear unemotional and slow to speak.
Language: Starting Languages: When they do talk, the Woses use the guttural Pûkael tongue (Rank 5) which is ideally suited to their deep voices and is alien to that of other Men. Some also speak a little Westron (Rank 2) or Dunael (Rank 2). Having no use for traditional runes or script, the Woses have developed their own system of pictographic signs – most quite simple – which they utilize for the most practical purposes, notably to mark paths or signal their brethren while out in the wood. Skill Development: Woses have also the opportunity to learn more of the Westron (Rank 4)and Dunael (Rank 4) tongue.
Prejudices: Woses hate Orcs, Wargs, and Rohirrim. The latter group has occasionally made sport of hunting the Wild Men.
Restrictions on Profession:There are not Wose Mages or Bards.

Weapons: club, dagger, handaxe, mace, quarterstaff, spear, war mattock.

Woses rarely wear armor, but tortoise shell, eel hide, and bark strips are the favoured types when it is required.
Clothing: Hide leggings; suede breechcloth; suede collar covering the shoulders and falling to the lower ribs; swirling designs in body paint on the face, arms, thighs, and stomach; knee-high shoe with thong fasteners along the outer side of the leg.

Common orcs

Physical Character

Build: Heavy, with thick hides, short legs, and long, thin arms. They have grotesque, fanged faces and random hair growth. Males and females average 65 pounds.
Coloring: Black or grey hair, black or reddish-brown eyes, and deep grey or black hides.
Endurance: Tremendous. Orcs can travel for 2 days without rest. Alternatively, they can run for up to 12 hours without stopping.
Fears & Inabilities: Natural sunlight and deep, running water. In full daylight, their activity is at -60; in artificial or magical daylight, their activity is at -25.
Height: Males and females average 4’.
Lifespan: Indefinite; certainly hundreds of years, but the nature of their warlike life permits few to live past the age of 50.
Resistance: +30 bonus versus heat/fire attacks.
Special Abilities: Orc sleep during the daylight hours, although they need res only once every 3 days. Orcish vision in most darkness is as good as a Man’s during the height of day. When there is barely any light (cloudy, moonless nights; upper caverns, dungeons), Orcs can see at least 50’ perfectly and fairly well up to 100’. In absolute darkness (deep caverns), they can see 10’.

Culture

Clothing & Decoration: Skins, leathers, and metal armor – crude, but well made and effective.
Lifestyle: Bred as labourers and warriors, Orcs respect power and terror above all things. They join and cooperate in substantial groups only when led by a “focused will,” some overwhelmingly strong individuals. To them, politics equates with force, and separate Orc tribes often war. Inter-tribal cannibalism is the norm.
They are, however, quite skilled. Their smiths rival those of the Dwarves and Elves and, although the items they produce lack beauty in form, they are exceptionally effective. Orcs are also fine healers, despite their lack of concern for scarring. Utility is their principal goal.
Marriage Pattern: Orcs do not marry; they breed. The females live together in secluded areas which are normally accessible only to the strongest males. In addition, the females re receptive only to the fiercest and most attractive males. This results in the strongest offspring. The many young are kept together and raised jointly by all the female Orcs.
Religion: Orcs worship Darkness and power. Most revere Sauron as a god, respecting his ability to induce utter terror.

Other Factors

Demeanor: Orcs are cruel, jealous, petty ambitious, selfish, and suspicious. They are almost always uncomfortable and, aside from mealtime or battle, are never happy or a peace.
Language: Starting Languages: Orcs speak various Orkish dialects (Rank 5) which are generally related to Westron and are somewhat understandable (Rank 3)to one knowing Westron or another such Orkish dialect. Skill Development: Orcs have also the chance to learn: Westron (Rank 2) and Black Speech (Rank 3).
Prejudices: Orcs hate all races, including Orcs of other tribes. They particularly despise Elves, who they believe to be a spiteful, wicked, and wayward race.

Wild Trolls

Types

Cave Trolls are the largest and most powerful breed. They are extremely solitary and cannibalistic. They are almost blind, but have superb hearing and sense of smell. Their scaly hides are pale, like those of most cave-dwelling creatures.
Forest Trolls are the least brutal of the Tereg. They are more graceful and live in loosely organized bands who hunt together. They are rarely cannibalistic, preferring woodland game (or Man or Dwarf). They are expert with slings, snares, and skinning knives.
Hill Trolls live in small groups, but are quite quarrelsome and greedy. They prefer clubs and thrown stones in a fight and are very territorial. They guard their stolen treasures jealously, even those of little use to them (e.g., books).
Snow Trolls are rare creatures with grey-white hides and icy blue eyes. When exposed to sunlight they turn into pillars of icy slag. They go for long periods without food, but are virtually unstoppable when they at last sight prey.
Stone Trolls spend a great deal of time hoarding piles of food and treasure, steeling it from each other, and boasting of their riches. Their fratricidal tendencies are extreme.

Physical Character

Resistance: Trolls do not understand fear.
Special Abilities: Torll vision in most darkness is as good as a Man’s during the height of day.

In absolute darkness (deep caverns), they can see 10’.

Culture

Clothing & Decoration: Little or none, aside from random armor and hides.
Fears & Inabilities: Sunlight. When exposed to the natural light of day they turn to stone.
Lifestyle: Trolls live in order to play and eat. To them play means killing and pillaging, and eating means fresh meet – raw or cooked 0 or jelly made from innards.

Trolls live in scattered caves and ruins, usually on the edge of civilized lands, and come forth only at night.

Open-ended 1-100 roll, + his Shape Change bonus, +5 for consecutive round that he concentrates, +20 for a successful Meditation static maneuver

If the result is 100+, the change takes place

A shape Changer also has a chance of involuntarily changing form from human to animal whenever he is angry, he is struck, of he falls.

Movement & Maneuvering Skills

These skills determine how far a character may move in a given round: up to 50 feet plus the skill bonus or up to double that distance if a running maneuver is successfully completed. There are five Movement and Maneuvering Skills that must be developed separetly for each of the five types of armor.
Armor dose not include helmet, arm greaves, or leg greaves - items which protect parts of the body from certain critical damage.
These skills also apply to any activity involving movement which is unusual or performed under stress. When user for these purposes the bonus is added to a "moving maneuver roll". This bonus is not used if another skill specifically applies to activity.

No Armor (MM) - This skill applies when wearing No armor and is limited to two skill ranks. Only two skill ranks may be developed for this rank.

Soft Leather (MM) - This skill applies when wearing Soft Leather armor and is limited to three skill ranks. Only three skill ranks may be developed for this skill.

Rigid Leather (MM) - This skill applies when wearing Rigid Leather armor and is limited to five skill ranks. Only five skill ranks may be developed for this skill.

Chain (MM) - This skill applies when wearing Chain armor and is limited to seven ranks. Only seven skill ranks may be developed for this skill.

Plate (MM) - This skill applies when wearing Plate armor and is limited to nine skill ranks. Only nine skill ranks may be developed for this skill.

Weapon Skills

These skills determine how effective a characteris when using weapons in combat. These skills must be developed separetly for each of the six types of weapons: 1-Handed Edged, 1-Handed Concussion, 2-Handed, Thrown, Missile, and Pole-arms.
The skill bonus for each type of weapon is an Offensive Bonus and is usually added to any "attack rolls" made with that weapon. In certain circumstances all or part of the Offensive Bonus may be used to "parry" an opponent. Each specified weapon has special properties (i.e., fumble range, critical type, OB modifications, etc.).

Note: Wearing arm greaves modifies each OB by -5.

1-Handed Edge (OB) - These weapons include the broadsword, dagger, handaxe, scimitar, and short sword. They may be used with a shield.

1-Handed Concussion (OB) - These weapons include the club, war hammer, mace, morning star, net, and whip. They may be used with a shield.

2-Handed (OB) - These weapons include the battle-axe, flail, quarterstaff, and 2-handed sword. They may not be user with a shield.

Pole-arms (OB) - These weapons include the javelin, spear, mounted lance, and halbard. The javelin and spear may be used with a shield, or they may be used 2-handed. Only when riding on a trained mount, a mounted lance may be used with a shield. A halbard may never be used with a shield.

Thrown (OB) - In addition to being used in melee, certain weapons may be used to attack from a distance (i.e., be thrown). These weapons include the dagger, handaxe, short sword, club, war hammer, mace, net, javelin, and spear. They may be used with a shield.

Missile (OB) - These weapons may not be used in melee, but they may be used to attack from a distance. Missile weapons include the bola, sling, composite bow, cross bow, long bow, and short bow. Only the sling may be used with a shield.

General skills

These Skills affect how a character climbs, rides, swims and tracks. The skill bonus for the appropriate skill is added to a "maneuver roll" when these activities are attempted.

Climb (MM) - This skill is used when usual climbing is attempted (i.e., for climbing a rope, tree, wall, etc., but not stairs or a ladder). The normal climbing rate for walls with adequate hand holds is 10 feet per round as a "medium" maneuver.

Ride (MM) - This skill is used when an animal is ridden (e.g., horse, camel, or giant eagle). A maneuver roll must be made using this skill whenever an unusual riding maneuver is attempted or each round an attack is made while riding.

Swim (MM) - This skill is used when a character is swimming. The GM should assign high difficulty to swimming in armor. We suggest the following difficulties:

almost no clothes - easy

light clothes - light

heavy clothes - medium

soft leather - hard

rigid leather - very hard

chain - extremely hard

plate - absurb

Other factors such as treacherous water might increase the difficulty.

Track (SM) - This skill is used when attempting to follow or interpret tracks.

Subterfuge Skills

These skills affect how a character ambushes, stalk, hides, pick locks, and disarms traps.

Ambush (SP) - If a character manages to move directly behind an opponent without the opponent noticing him (this usually involves stalking, see below), he may "ambush" him with a melee attack (not a missile attack). A normal melee attack is made and any critical that results may have the skill rank (not the skill bonus) for ambush added to it if the ambusher wishes (he may decide after the critical roll).

Stalk / Hide (MM) / SM) - This skills affects how effectively a character a character stalks (moves without being seen or heard, a moving maneuver) and hides without moving (a static maneuver).
Stalking is resolved by using the Moving Maneuver Table. This roll is modified by adding the moving character's (i.e., the stalker) Stalk / Hide total skill bonus and by subtracting the highest Perception bonus of anyone that could observe the stalker. A "F" result means that the stalker has been observed and only moves about 10 feet. A number result means that the stalker moves half his normal movement rate multiplied by the result and divided by 100 (i.e., the result is used as a percentage %).

Hiding is resolved by having each searcher make a perception maneuver modified by subtracting the hider's Stalk / Hide total skill bonus and adding the searcher's Perception total skill bonus.

Pick Lock (SM) - This skill affects attempts to pick locks.

Disarm Trap (SM) - This skill affects attempts to disarm traps. Usually, traps must be first detected using perception skill.

Magical Skills

These skills affect a character's ability to cast spells from runes, to cast spells from items, and to attack with an elemental spell.

Read runes (SM) - This skill represents a character's ability to determine what spell is on a piece of rune paper (or a scroll) and his ability to cast that spell from it. A static maneuver roll (modified by the Read Rune skill bonus) must be made in order to learn what spell is on the piece of rune paper. The same maneuver determines if the character can cast the spell from the items.

Use item (SM) - This skill represents a character's ability to determine what spells and abilities are imbedded in an item (other than rune paper or certain special items).It also affects his ability to cast spells from the item. The process used is the same as for reading runes, except that the Use Item skill bonus is used.

Directed Spells (OB) - These skills determine how effective a character is when using directed spells (i.e., elemental spells) in combat. The skill bonus for directed spells is added to any "attack rolls" made with those spells. Directed spells include all of the "bolt" spells but not the "ball" spells (the Base Spell bonus is added to "ball" attacks).
No resistance roll is allowed against directed spells, However, a character attacked by a directed spell (or a ball spell) may make a moving maneuver roll (i.e., his action for that round is to take cover) to modify the attack roll by - 10 to 60 depending upon the cover that is available.

Miscellaneous Skills

These skills differ in various ways from the normal skill ranks and bonus system. Each skill is detailed at to what its differences are.

Perception (SM) - This skill affects how much information and clues a character gets through observation. It may be used to detect traps, to observe characters attempting to hide, to find hidden doors, etc. If a character states that he is watching or examining and area or place, the GM should make a static maneuver roll modified by the perception skill bonus of the character to determine if the character notices or detects anything. The Gm may keep this roll secret, revealing only what the character has observed. This bonus may be used to modify an opponent's stalking maneuver roll for stalking.
Note: Wearing a helmet modifies the Perception bonus by -5

Body Development (SP) - This skill represents a character's ability to withstand pain, shock and bleeding. Each time that a character's rank in this skill increases by one, the character rolls 1-10 and increases his skill rank bonus by this amount (the normal skill rank bonuses do not apply).
Each character starts with a special bonus for the is skill of +5. The total skill bonus for this skill is called the character's "hit total", - the number of concussion hits that the character can absorb (due to damage he takes from attacks and other occurrences) without becoming unconscious.
If a character takes more concussion hits than the sum of his hit total and his constitution stat (not stat bonus), he dies due to massive shock and internal bleeding.

Spell Lists (SP) - This skill determines when a spell list is learned (i.e., when spells on that list may be cast). Each spell list rank gives a 20% chance of "learning" a chosen spell list. Thus, when a rank 5 is obtained, there is a 100% (automatic) chance of learning the list.
Spell list skill ranks may only be developed for one spell list at a time. If at the end of the development period (adolescence, apprenticeship, or when a new level is reached) a character has a spell list rank between 1 and 5, a roll should be made to see if the spell list is learned. If the roll is less than or equal to the spell list rank multiplied by 20, the spell list is learned. If the spell list is not learned the skill rank remains the same. When a list is learned, the spell list rank is reduced to 0.
If a skill rank of 5 is obtained during a development period, the spell list is immediately learned (with the spell list skill rank being reduced to 0). In addition, the character may develop the spell list rank for another spell list in order to take a chance of learning a second list (20% chance per rank).

Languages (SP) - This skill must be developed separately for each language. This skill rank determines how ell a character speaks and reads a language.

Secondary Skills

Secondary skills are not used as often as Primary Skills during adventuring. They are often tied to, or indicative of, a character's background or family trade.

Adûnaic was the language of the Númenóreans in the second Age.It later became the common speech (W."soval Phare") or Westron (W."Adűni") in the Westlands.In the Harad it influenced the developement of the coastal-language Ansith and some black Númenórean dialects such as Kharadûnaic and Zimrathânic.Adûnaic itself was a later form of the language of the Edain, especially the Old Mágo dialect of the House of Hador.
Black Númenórean (5), Corsairs (5), Dunedain (4), Noldo Elves (3).

Apysaic was a group of closely related languages or tribal dialects which were spoken in the Second Age all over Haradwaith. The Northern Apysan dialects developed into the Haruze language while the southern Apysans, divided from their northern kinsmen by the Great Desert developed a group of dialects known as New Apysan.The earliest form of written Apysaic was Old Apysan, which was spoken in the late second and early Third Age.
Northern Haradrim (4), Southern Haradrim (5).

Black Speech (S. Morbeth) was a language devised by Sauron during the Dark Years to be the sole language of the servants of Mordor, replacing the many different varieties of Orcish and other languages. It may have been a standardised form of regional Orcish tongues combined with elements of Valarin, the Eldest Speech.

Black Numernoreans (5), Corsairs (4), Northern Haradrim (5), Southern Haradrim (3), Variags (3).

Khuzdul ("Dwarvish"), a cloistered tongue known to virtually no one but themselves. Khuzdul changed little with time, being a sacred, spoken language of lore and not a cradle-speech. This "inner language" was well suited to the throaty Dwarven voice, since it had a deep tonal quality. Khuzdul was marked by harsh consonants and used two or three-consonant patterns to denote common concepts.

Labba (S."Lossothren", L."Lumikieli") is an archaic mannish tongue spoken by the Lossoth and Forodwaith.It bears some resemblence to archaic Quenya and seems to be related to several Easterling Languages, especially Folyavulthic, which is a descendant of Ulgathig.Labba is believed to descend from the Mornârin tongues of the Second Age, the Lossoth are sometimes believed to be descendants of Easterlings from the Folk of Bór and Uldor who escaped the drowning of Beleriand, other Scholars however believe them to be related to either the Daen-People or the Northrons and the Hadorians or to be relatives of the Urdor-People of the Northern Peninsula of Middle-Earth.

Orcish was a collection of tribal dialects spoken among the Orcs. While the eldest Orcish tongues derived from the language of Angband and Melkorin of Utumno, later Orcish was largely influenced by the Black Speech of Mordor.

Varadja Originally the ancestors of the Variags had spoken an eastern tongue closely related to the Ioradya dialects of the Balchoth, but millenia in the neighbourhood of Mordor changed their tongue so it often sounded closer to the Black Speech or orcish dialects.Also close neighbourhood to the Haradrim added strong Harûze influences, especially in southern Khand.For written Varadia Variags used a script derived from mordorian Tengwar and Orcish Runes, the Script was also known as Variag-Tengwar or Khandian Letters.

Westron Annúnaid or Adûni was a late form of Adûnaic mixed with elements of indigenous languages, mostly from the edainic peoples of Eriador and Rhovanion but to some degree also with elements from the daen tongues.
The Westron was the official and most spread language in the ancient lands of Arnor and Gondor and it´s former provinces and had become the usual trade and colloquial language in the lands from Rhovanion to Rhûn and Haradwaith although tribal languages still remained prominent in the lands further removed from the Westlands. Therefore the Westron was also simply known as Sôval Phârë or the Common speech.
