Evolution of Arms Law (pdf)

 

The first Rolemaster product ever released by ICE was Arms Law in 1980. It was a combat system that designed to replace the combat system in other Roleplaying games, particularly Advanced Dungeons and Dragons and would serve as the base for the rest of the Rolemaster products to come. The newest version of Arms Law released in 2003 returns to these roots and provides updated conversion guidelines for 3rd Edition Dungeons and Dragons.
This article examines the various versions of Arms Law that have been produced
over the last 23 years.

D4 table
D6 table
D8 table
D10 table
D12 table
D20 table
dice.pl Perl program

Dice probability tables. These tables list the percentage chance of rolling a specific target number, and the chance of rolling that number or higher. Each page has charts listing from 2 to 20 dice being rolled for that particular die type. For example, one chart on the d6 page is 3d6, which will list the probablilities for rolling any number possible with three six sided dice. If you look at 8 as a target number on that table, you can see that you would have a 9.7% chance of rolling exactly 8, and a 83.8% chance of rolling an 8 or higher. I find these tables useful when I’m trying to convert between game systems. I’ve included a copy of the perl program that I used to generate the pages. It’s pretty plain, and doesn’t prompt for number of dice or how many sides yet, it’s all hard coded and needs to be changed each time you run it. I’ll eventually turn it into a cgi script or something. It outputs a file called dice.html. April 2001

    Need to fix all the links on this page so they don’t include the “articles-and-indexes” in the path

  2. brent Says:

    Fixed the links (I think). Interestingly it seems that php pages through Wordpress actually recognizes and keeps extra spaces and line returns that are in the source for the page. Need to clean those up on this page, and probably others. Need to test all the links too to ensure they are fixed.

  3. brent Says:

    Removed extra spaces from the pages and fixed up the Table inclusions.
