This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

A question about Dark Albion's Appendix P

I really like the Pundit's "quick & dirty" houserules, but there is a thing I don't understand. Every time the character gains a level, you roll on the benefits table. Are these benefits in addition to the usual ones you get in other OSR games (I use LotFP), or do they replace them? I would thing the latter if it weren't for spell levels.

I *bump* the thread because the Pundit didn't see it.

Very sorry that I didn't catch this. I've been a bit busy lately!

The class rules as they're laid out in appendix P are meant to REPLACE standard D&D class rules, not to be added on top of them.

The "alternate spellcasting rules" explain how spells would normally work in the Appendix P system; but if you didn't like those, you could still use the standard spell tables from LotFP for the casting classes, in terms of how many spells can theoretically be cast per day, while using the tables to figure out how many spells a magister or cleric actually has access to.

Thanks! Yes, this makes sense.

And btw, these rules are perfect for a WFRP style of play.
