Ok, now that we have to overly long title out of the way, it's time to tell you about the game.

We will be using Squeegy's Foot Soldiers System, with minor modifications and features that aren't very well explained. (Leveling up, character creation, maybe a magic system, some new items, etc.)

Now, the setting: you are mercenaries in Britain, around the time of colonial America. It's not going to be historically accurate, there won't be guns because I don't want to bother adding them, but there may be ships with cannons, depending on if I can figure out some good rules for them. There will be magic, although you probably won't have to fight any mages for a while. (AKA, when I make rules for them)

The game will be ASCII, with using Random.org for die rolls.

Fill out this character sheet, you have two skill points, and everyone has copper breastplate, cap, low boots, a buckler, and a weapon of your choice. If you take a two handed weapon or bow, you don't get the buckler.

Can I get leather armor instead?  I'm thinking he's a scout type character.

[Hugehead]

Sure, you can get another two move if you sacrifice some of your armor.

Riccto, a quick Wikipedia search says that your Großes Messer is like a falchion, could you change it to falchion?

Wait, if we get rid of armor can we get more EXP?

[Hugehead]

Only two skill points to begin, Falcon.
If you want the iron breastplate, you'll have to change the quality of the low boots to copper.

If I make them both copper, or even leather, do I get extra EXP?

[Hugehead]

You could get some extra money, I guess, but no extra EXP for you.

Fuc*.

Finally finished my char. Can we begin already?

[Johnfalcon99977]

a slingshot doesn't sound like the *best* weapon to bring to a fight...

And you cannot have one either. It is not a weapon on the list and has no rules. If you want a ranged weapon, go with a Bow or Crossbow.

[TolyK]

fine  ( they are actually good for combat, check out "Alone in the Desert")

changed.

[Hugehead]

You'll have to take a -1 penalty with your shield thing, and you'll have to start with ten gold, that shield cost quite a bit.. And no, you can't be omni or ambidextrous.

[Johnfalcon99977]

TolyK.

Go to the link in the frist post, it contains all the skills and rules.

Bowman is not a skill. It does not have a level either.

[Riccto]

Alright, Edited and Changed Speech to Dodge
