Funky Charts III: Second Draft of Warrior Abilities

The first two charts I posted were two of the hand-written originals. The next three I have are typed (with a typewriter!) refinements, though if I remember correctly, we used all of them in the games, not just one or the other. Sixteen years makes for some muddied memories, but I'm almost certain about this.

These are the revised tables of the second chart I posted, here. You can also see the original Clerics & Paladins chart here.

After that you add one hit point/25,000. And as you grow in levels you grow in size until properly built. -3 Chr:


** this indicates that there is a 98% chance you will be chaotic, and 50% chance of being evil; but also very secret.




Again, I won't be held accountable for the grammatical errors within. I'm merely copying directly. Some of the underlining and use of parentheses confuses me, and the colons after every stat abbreviation have me scratching my head, as well.


As for the actual content of the charts, most of it is a direct port of the earlier Rangers & Warriors chart, some having minor tweaks (like 45-49: Good horseman), and some new abilities altogether.


100 could be really fun, but how do you determine the rate of growth or when a giant is fully grown? I assume that would be left up to the DM, depending on how high of level they might expect their characters to go.
