The Rolemaster Standard System
is a detailed, state-of-the-art FRP system that adds realism and depth to
your campaign without sacrificing playability.
The Rolemaster Standard Rules
are the cornerstone of this system and provide all the rules and guidelines
that you need to play in one of the most realistic FRP systems available.
Experience the ultimate in fantasy role playing, Rolemaster.
The Rolemaster Standard Rules provide:
•
A wide range of character creation choices—20 professions, 16 cultures & races,
and 36 training packages (spy, loremaster, diplomat, scout, etc.).
• Material for unique character back-grounds, including: a wide variety
of background options, a comprehensive system of talents and flaws, and a system
of role traits.
• A system of temporary and potential stats determined by using both assigned
and random elements.
• A skill development system that allows a character to develop ability
in skills without absolute restrictions. Each skill is grouped with, similar
skills in a skill category. In addition to developing individual skills,
each skill category can be developed, improving all of the skills in that
category.
• Complete, consolidated guidelines for resolving actions: moving maneuvers,
static maneuvers (a table for each skill category), extraordinary spell casting
attempts, and attacks (melee, missile, and spell).
• Action sequencing based on how fast a character attempts to perform an
action: as a snap action (quick with a penalty), as a normal action, or as a
deliberate
action (slow with a bonus).
Get Real,
