New Actions

This article adds additional Special Actions to Flintloque (3^rd edition), allowing a figure to perform other actions in the Action Phase, for example; to sneak into a town, open a safe or understand other languages.

Special Actions

The following table is a set of actions that any figure can perform in the Action Phase.  To complete an Action the figure must perform an Action Check.  To do an Action Check a figure must throw equal or higher then the Actions difficulty score listed on the table with a D10 to complete the action, otherwise he has failed.   A natural 1 thrown on the dice is always a fail.

Example - An Orc Rifleman is climbing a high wall to reach an open window for his turn’s action, which has a difficulty score of 6+.  He throws a D10 and scores 8, so he climbs up the wall and through the top floor window.

Action Check Modifier - If the figure is Heavily Wounded and is performing a physical Special Action there is a modifier of -2 to the Action Check dice roll.

Secondary Skills

Newly created figures can spend points on secondary skills (see list later for skills descriptions) additional to any skills from the rules. A figure can have any number of secondary skills.

Each skill has a skill level, from Level 1 to a maximum level of 5.  To purchase a skill at level 1 to will only cost 1 skill point.  To increase a skill to a higher level, it’s only cost 1 point per level (i.e. for a level 3 skill, it would cost 3 points).

Each skill adds a modifier equals to its skill level that adds to an Action Check dice roll that the skill applies too (i.e.  A level 3 Agility skill will add a +3 modifier to the D10 when the figure is jumping a gap).

Experience
Each scenario the figure is involved in, the figure can acquire more skill points to spend on his existing skills or can purchase a new skill.  If the game was won then the figures gains 2 skills points, but if the game was lose than he receives only 1.
