Squirrel Attack! You hold in your hand a complete role playing game book with several unique features. First, it contains a system called Iridium Lite. Lite systems are compact by definition and do not contain rules for every situation. The assumption is that the game master and the players can work out anything that falls through the cracks. This is not to say the system is not complete, merely open to extension. Secondly, the characters of this story are pre-genned and have goals. You can certainly create your own characters and there are rules for generating them but the best results come from using the pre-genned characters. The goals are defined and arbitrated by the players and the game master. These goals are given points and measure how well the character is played. Thirdly, this is not a game of anthropomorphoids or animals with human traits. This is a game of squirrels who lived among fairies and gained some small amount of intelligence. Physically the squirrels are just animals. Finally, the narrowly focused setting allows for vast expansion. The adventure is designed for one night of play but can be stretched into a long running campaign if desired. Keep in mind that this game is meant to be humorous. A serious campaign might be played but how serious can you be about squirrels. Enjoy! Written By: William Corrie Edited by: Linda Corrie

Squirrel Attack! ANNUT, THE FIRST
When man was young and first walked the Earth all was a paradise. At his side was Annut the first Squirrel. They frolicked and danced, celebrating life and the joys of living. Annut gathered foods for Man and protected him from wild animals who would do him harm. More importantly, Annut guarded Man’s babies from the dreaded Cat spirit Anmeow. Now it came to pass that Anmeow grew tired of her endless battles and defeat at the paws of Annut. In a fit of rage, she made a vow with the Dark Rat Horde to finish man. “Fear me Man, I am Cat, hear me roar! Meow!” Her howls were heard through the night and the Dark Rat Horde beckoned to her call. The Horde descended on Man and disease followed. Man asked Annut for help but brave though he was, he was no match for the Horde. The disease spread and many grew ill. Into this, Anmeow came slaying the Dark Rat Horde before her. They fled, betrayed, but not before taking Annut and his kin to the Other World. “See, Man, I am far more useful than that worthless Annut,” purred Anmeow. Man looked down at the purring cat and saw all the fallen Dark Rats and embraced her. They forgot about Annut and his kind except as tree dwellers. Anmeow and her kind grew in number and a fickle affection was granted Man. As long as Man worshipped, clothed and fed her kind, Anmeow was pleased. Her conscious was not clean though and her kind took to hunting Annut and the Dark Rat Horde. They could not follow the paths to the Other World for the Dark Rat Horde had hidden it to all who were not Rodent Kin. For the centuries that the paths have been hidden Annut’s descendants have lived in peace. The part of the Other World they claimed was named Nuttopia and in it the Great Tree grew. It provided all the nuts that the Rodent Kin could want. Abundant food and eternal summers made this portion of the Other World a paradise. The descendants of Annut found centuries of peace there, amongst other creatures who took little notice of them. As time passed, slowly as it does in the Other World, the Rodent Kin grew and evolved, often bringing affectations of Man to them in Nuttopia. Some of the Rodent Kin visited the mortal realm. From these Rodent Kin, much was learned of the growth and evolution of Man. The Squirrels left behind became dumb and simple creatures hiding in trees and the prey of cats and dogs. The legacy of Anmeow became instinct as her kind were similarly decreased. Back to the realm of Nuttopia were brought the ideas of Religion and Nobility. There had always been the belief, the very knowledge, of Mother Earth. The guardian spirit of life was respected by all but the Black squirrels and the Dark Rat Horde. To rule over the Rodent Kin the Grey Squirrels rose up from Annut’s direct line and Macadamia the First took the throne.

Squirrel Attack!
The Black Squirrels never acknowledged the rule of the Grey and they set a kingdom apart, at the root of the Tree of Life. Here, in the deep tunnels of the Underworld, the path to the Mortal Realm was their home. All who would pass into the Mortal Realm must meet their toll. The final affront to Mother Nature came when Rodentia slew the Good King Pecan. Mother Nature punished not only Rodentia but also all the Black squirrels who were involved. They were turned white, their eyes pink and sensitive to light but worse of all, they were made creatures of the Underworld, Squirrelferatu. Nuttopia began to splinter shortly after this and the Shire was founded outside the Tree of Life. It was the first settlement of this type. The idea spread and the Greenwold and Grasser’s Island were next. They were treated as duchies and ruled by Grey Squirrel nobles but always seemed apart and somehow less than the splendid duchies of the Tree. These rural cousins had a rougher life than their gentile brethren but many argue a more robust one as well.

THE SEVEN HOUSES

O U S E S

Before the renaissance came to Nuttopia, life was simple. Little had changed since the arrival of the Rodent Kin, for the amount of rule the Squirrel Kin required was minimal. Then the first house was established, called simply Annut. The Grey Squirrels claimed the need for order amongst the growing population of Squirrel Kin and the greater Rodent Kin. In quick succession the rest followed claiming control of different areas on the Tree of Life. The Walnuts, a reasonable and steadfast clan, claimed the Temple. The Annut house claimed the Great Hall and the surrounding chambers as their personal lands. The Pistashio house, full of fire and quick to fight, founded the Wold. Vain and always plotting, the Almondine house controls most of the supply of nuts from the Shire. The Hortus have guarded the Passages to the Underworld for centuries. Their task has taken a toll on their numbers and they are the only noble house to practice adoption of other squirrels and rodents.

RELIGIONS

H E

The religions of Nuttopia are a strange blend of Mortal world religion and those of the Other World. The Squirrel Kin generally do not take religion very seriously although they do suffer bursts of religious fervor. Typically they rally around a charismatic religious leader but quickly lose interest in favor of pursuing food or land. With this understanding, the Squirrel Kin does have its priests, monks and consecrated knights. These are usually individual Rodent Kin called to the service of their patron. They receive magical powers if they perform the will of their patron. The best known of these religious orders is the Church, a group of priest-squirrels dedicated to gathering nuts for Mother Earth. Their militant right arm is the Order of the Brazil Nut. These nights have dedicated themselves to the Quest for the Holy Brazil Nut, a mythical nut purported to have the power to raise the dead and make a wicked

good nut butter. Finally, on Grasser’s Island, the chipmunks have a monastery dedicated to the patron saint Francis of Assisi. The monastery is simply referred to as Assisi and is situated in a cluster of oak on a hill. The monks hope to one day meet Saint Francis but have little hope of finding the passage to the Mortal Realm that opens on the correct year. Still, they hope and search.

THE CHURCH
“May the Mother bless you with nuts.” - Benediction The Church is dedicated to Mother Earth. The area of the Tree of Life is dedicated to her temples. She visits the Squirrel Kin in times of need and was present when Annut and his kin arrived in the other word. It is said that it was Mother Earth who protected the Squirrel Kin from the Dark Rat Horde.

THE ORDER

OF THE BRAZIL NUT “Don’t Mess with Mother Nature!” - Battle cry

The Order was founded hundreds of years ago by Sir Lumpnutt, a Grey noble who purportedly tasted the nut butter of a Brazil Nut. The rind is kept as a holy artifact and has the powers of healing. The knights have pledged to guard the rind with their lives. The other relic held in the Temple is the remains of Sir Lumpnutt. Supposedly, after a courageous battle against the Dark Rat Horde where Sir Lumpnutt was slain, his remains were bathed in light and the Dark Rat Horde was forced to retreat. To this day, his knights carry a bone fragment of the brave knight as ward against the Horde. The knights make their home in the Temple of the Tree of Life. Their leader, Sir Gruffnutt, is a stern master but very fair. He expects the knights to maintain order and protect the artifacts of the Temple regardless of the dangers they face. The knights, all 42 of them, are often questing far outside the borders of Nuttopia to all parts of the Other World. There are always at least ten knights present at the temple and anywhere from ten to twenty squires.

other Rodent Kin. This is sold in leaf weights and is considered the best in the land. In addition, they have the only rodent library, deep in their nests in the Assisi Monastery, on the insides of acorn shells. They are diligent in guarding this knowledge and all manner of information is stored in their libraries.

TRIBES

Q U I R R E L

In the beginning, there was only one tribe and they were all grey furred and of the same ancestry, descendants of Annut. Then Chester, the son of Annut, climbed the Tree of Life. He climbed for days and grew thirsty and hungry but finally he was at the top. He reached out but stopped when he heard a booming voice proclaim that the sky was not for him. He denied the voice, thinking of his struggle to reach the top. He reached out and touching the sky he was struck down. He fell for days and when he reached the foot of the tree there was a great crash and the land shook, the Tree of Life swayed. The wrath of the creator was upon all the Squirrel Kin. Annut, bent with age, called out to the Mother to save his children. She intervened but told Annut that there would be a price to pay. He solemnly agreed and she rose into the sky. For three days the sun did not set and the wind stood still. At the end of that time, there was a single mighty thunder clap and suddenly the different tribes of Squirrel Kin were made from the children of Annut. They had been split into the Grey, Red, Black and Flying Squirrel Tribes. This change at first seemed a small price to pay for the mercy of the Creator. As time passed, though, the differences became more and more clear. The first wars over territory led to the eventual adoption of the Grey Tribe as nobles since they most looked like Annut. As Annut passed from the Other World to be with the Mother, he bade them to live in peace in one tree or many under the rule of the Grey. This has held to present.

GREY

R I B E S

“Nuttopia needs us, as the body needs the heart to tell it what it wants.” The Grey Squirrels are the direct descendants of Annut. They rule Nuttopia as a noble class. They are by far the most educated of the Squirrel Kin and also the most self important. They often feel the need to control all activity in the immediate area, enhancing their reputation as controlling megalomaniacs. After the creation of the tribes, the Grey were the strongest but their power has since waned. Some say the favor of Mother Nature has been withdrawn while others say it is the policies of the Grey and their insular nature that has caused them to decrease. Whatever the reason, the Grey tribe looks more and more to the other tribes for aid and strength.

BLACK
“If they do not love us, let them fear us.“ Banished to the UnderWorld for their evil, only a few were to become the Squirrelferatu. Most of the Black tribe guard the entrances to the Mortal Realm. This is their penance for the misdeeds of Rodentia who slew Good King Pecan. Those that were not directly involved were banished to the UnderWorld. Some visit the surface but avoid the light of the sun as it is painful to them. Even the moon causes some discomfort. The Black tribe blames the Grey tribe for their current status. They maintain that Mother Nature never hears any of their prayers since the priest of the Temple drown them out. Whether this is true cannot be said but the Black tribe believes it. The Black tribe has a hard life and no squirrel will argue that. They bring this on themselves, though, by cavorting with the Hawk Reich and the Dark Rat Horde. They also have an unwavering belief in their superiority to other squirrels. Their views on other species is even less complimentary. They also have no love for the Grey house of Hortus. The Black tribe view them as their keepers and hold them in contempt.

T
R I B E S O F T H E

RED
“To each according to his nuts, from each according to his ability to pick those nuts.” The Red tribe is the largest by far. They have spread to the Shire and even have colonies in the Green Wold and Grasser’s Island amongst the chipmunks. They are influenced by modern beliefs from the Mortal Realm, mixing various ideologies to describe the world they live in. The Red tribe accepts the rule of the Grey tribe grudgingly, fighting for more representation in the Great Hall and a larger say in their self rule. The Red tribe have moved away from the Tree to a distance that many Greys believe is dangerous. It is their tenacity and perseverance have enabled them to move the boundaries of Nuttopia far beyond what the Greys ever thought possible. Reds have a level of survival skills that go beyond that of most Rodent Kin. They try to convert others to their views of social revolution and rule of the people by the people. It has been a dangerous road as the Greys have denied the Rodent Kin their voice, stopping assemblies and breaking up any meetings or unions. The Reds have their own leader though, Linseed, whose powerful oration ensures the Movement goes forward. The Red Squirrel knows it is his personal duty to spread the word and does so at every turn.

FLYING
“ L i f e i s t o o s h o r t t o s ta y grounded!” Flying Squirrel Kin are varied in size and structure but all are nomadic, moving well beyond the borders of Nuttopia and back again. They travel alone or in small troupes trading stories and work for food. Physically, the Flying tribe is one of the only Squirrel Kin with a large amount of variety in appearance and size. They range from only a few inches in length to the size of a raccoon. Their colors also range from dark red to brown to black. They all have membranes between the front and back legs allowing them to glide. The Flying tribe has learned a great deal from the fairies who inhabit the Other World. From them, the Flying squirrels have learned magic that allows them to fly longer and under power. This gives them a distinct advantage over squirrels in the Mortal World. They are proud of their abilities and seldom share this magic with other Squirrel Kin.

SQUIRRELFERATU
“All are our Prey...Um, Pra...Um, Prayer...No, that isn’t right. Can we start over?“ The Squirrelferatu are Squirrels who were cursed due to their involvement in the assassination of Good King Pecan. They were cursed to never know the warmth of the sun or the peace of the grave. These Squirrel Kin are more a group of afflicted than an actual tribe. They come from any tribe and must feed on the life of other creatures in order to quench the growing hunger inside them. This is a hunger that never kills but slowly consumes them. The Squirrelferatu know no rest while the hunger is upon them.

So strong is the Hunger that they may attack even those they consider their allies. The Black Tribe his lived with them in the Under World for centuries and has grown to accept the sacrifice of some of their kind to the Squirrelferatu in exchange for their aid and mercy. The overpowering angst that has consumed the Squirrelferatu in centuries past has become more and more a sense of apathy. They are unable to die except in the most gruesome manner of mangling and dismemberment or by being smashed entirely flat. Some have taken this way out but a botched job leaves them in a worse way than if they had never tried. Mother Nature was not pleased with their actions and she has a long memory. Their centuries of existence has allowed extensive study of magic. They have mastered the powers of invisibility and distraction. These powers allow them to attack their prey at will. If a Squirrelferatu bites a victim they must make a save vs. their PIE on a d20 to resist the spread of the curse to them. Many view the Squirrelferatu as a spreading cancer in Nuttopia. The Hortus family has fought a long battle to contain the Squirrelferatu to the Under World but some have escaped to the Mortal World. Often mistaken for mortal albino squirrels, the Squirrelferatu who escape make the most of this deception. The Squirrelferatu cannot abide by the meat of a nut. Any touch of nut meat causes their skin to burn and their fur to fall out. It will not kill them but it can hurt them and the wounds never heal. Sunlight causes them to lose all their physical abilities as well as the use of their magic. In sunlight they may be killed. All physical stats for the Squirrelferatu drop to 1 if they are in direct sunlight.

“The Hunt drives me...where I cannot say...what I do not know...why, because I can...what was I saying? Oh, I already did that one, sorry. Can we start over?“ The Squirrelcanthrope are the product of lycanthropes that wander t h e O t h e r Wo r l d . A Squirrel Kin was once bitten by one as it wandered, maddened, through Nuttopia. He lived long enough to spread the curse. For centuries it has grown and waned in power, always bringing a form of madness with it.

Any who are affected with Squirrelcanthropy develop a madness. It grows with the waxing of the moon but is always present to a certain degree. Those Squirrelcanthrope who live any period of time in Nuttopia learn tricks to control their insanity. Muttering to an invisible friend, or chatting with the Fae all make for a good cover amongst the Squirrel Kin if not exercised too often. Squirrelcanthropes can be killed with a sprig of belladonna. Its mere presence causes them to revert to their original Squirrel form but greatly weakened. The slightest t a s t e o f b e l l a d o nn a i s instantly fatal. The Squrrelferatu may learn new shapes to change into but they all begin with the Raccoon. No one is sure of the origin of the Raccoon form or why the Lycanthrope did not pass along the wolf form. Regardless, the Squirrelcanthrope becomes a maddened raging Raccoon who knows no allies during the full moon. During the rest of the month they may change and retain their intellect, such as it is. The anguish of the Squirrelcanthrope is only matched by that of the Squirrelferatu. These groups are mortal enemies, although even they do not know the reason why. Sometimes they must agree to disagree since neither side has the power to completely destroy the other. The Squirrelcanthrope regenerates one point of Fortitude for each rank of Regenerate. So, if they have a rank of three in Regenerate, then the Squirrelcanthrope regains three points in all damaged areas each round. This continues to work as long as the their head is still attached to their body and they have not ingested or come near any belladonna.

for nuts and acorn shells. Both sides are very dependant on the trade that has grown between their two people. The Chipmunks generally live a life of peace and intellectual pursuits. They fled with Annut when he came to the Other World and lived with the Squirrels for a time but found they needed their own space. Grasser’s Island seemed the logical choice. The common Chipmunk loves song and singing as well as dancing and feasting. They can be very serious when they need to be but prefer a loose and wild lifestyle. They worship the creator and Mother Nature but express this through quiet reflection and recording of the histories. They do this by following an example brought back from the Mortal World. They have formed Monasteries. They revere the Saint Francis of Assisi. They follow his example of trade and economics as well as kindness to animals. Through this study they have glimpsed some of the inner workings of the universe and applied them to their life. The Chipmunks have a magic that allows them to calm creatures. They do not control the animals, but rather turn anger and hatred into peace and friendship.

MAGICS

The magic the Squirrel Kin practice comes from the fairies who live in the Other World. Over the centuries the different tribes have learned various spells and powers.

OF THE

SQUIRREL KIN

T H E

CALM
Calm is usually a spell known to the Chipmonks of the Order of Assisi but some Squirrel Kin have been known to learn its power. Calm is a spell that comes from inner peace as much as any magical power and needs a focused and serene spirit to guide it. Activation for Calm is PIE + Calm + Meditation. It costs two Fatigue to cast and the target receives a save vs. their WIS - Rank of Calm on a d20. Should the target be attacked while Calm is in effect the spell is broken. This is not mind control and only puts the target in a calm state, ceasing hostilities; i.e. a guard dog becomes calm, not attacking but does not let anyone pass.

S
Q U I R R E L

CHANGE
This is the power of the Squirrelcanthrope to shed its squirrel form and assume another. Most Squirrelcanthropes only learn their cursed Raccoon form. Some of the older squirrels study the anatomy of other animals and learn how to assume their form. When not on a full moon, activation is CON + Change + Anatomy. It costs two Fatigue to change to a form and two Fatigue to change back. During a full moon, a Squirrelcanthrope changes instantly in the direct light of the moon. No activation is needed during this time but fatigue is spent to change to and from Raccoon form.

CLING
The power to cling to trees is possessed by all Squirrel Kin and even the Chipmunks but only a few have taken it to a magical art form. With this power the squirrel may cling to any surface, smooth or rough, vertical or horizontal or even while the surface is being shaken. The activation for Cling is AGL + Cling + Climb. A GM may choose to have a check made when changing surfaces, in extreme circumstances (clinging to a flailing arm) or when changing surfaces (going from a rock wall to a wooden roof. This depends on the flow of play as to how often a check is needed. This spell costs 1 fatigue to activate.

K

Q U I R R E L

DODGE
Dodge allows a squirrel to accelerate for an instant as an attack is incoming. This causes the attack to miss although it appears it should have hit. This spell only works against one attack per round and takes the action of the caster. The caster may still move at full speed. Activation for this spell is AGL + Dodge + Running Skill.

DISTRACTION
Distraction creates a sound which attracts the attention of a creature. Distraction does not work if the target is focused on the caster but does work if they are focused on something else. For instance, if a Squirrelferatu is staring down a wild boar and casts Distraction, the boar is aware of the sound but may choose to ignore it. However, if the same boar is chasing the Squirrelferatu’s companions when the spell is cast then it would veer off towards the new noise. The noise may be created in any direction that the caster can see. In other words, the caster cannot make the sound come from around the corner. If the target cannot hear the sound (i.e. deaf, loud thunderstorm, etc.) then they are not affected. Activation for this spell is WIS + Distraction + Deception. This spell costs one Fatigue.

S

FLY

A G I C S

Fly is a spell that is most common with the Flying tribe. It greatly enhances their natural gliding skill and allows them to launch from the ground as though they had done so from a high tree. For someone not of the Flying Tribe this works more like a powerful jump allowing them to travel 10 feet per rank of the spell. For those of the Flying Tribe the distance is doubled. The activation for this spell is AGL + Fly + Flight. It costs one Fortitude and the flyer may only carry what they normally could carry on the ground.

M

HEAL
Healing is at the heart of the Order of the Brazil Nut and the teachings of the Chipmonk’s Order of Assisi. They study long and hard to aid those who are in pain or wounded. Their powers of healing work on

both wounds and diseases. Diseases are more difficult and may incur minuses to their activation, reflecting how advanced the disease is or how virulent. Healing wounds is easier but is only a form of accelerated mending of tissues. For healing wounds the damage must be repaired in order to allow the wound to knit properly;i.e. a broken leg must have the bone set before Healing is applied. Activation for Healing is INT + Heal + Medicine. Healing restores five Fortitude points for each Fatigue point spent. So, if five Fatigue are spent then twenty-five Fortitude are healed. For diseases, the standard is three Fatigue but the GM may assess more if the disease has advanced or is exceptionally resistant to healing.

E
N E M I E S

INVISIBILITY
Invisibility allows a squirrel to disappear from sight. They still make noise and leave tracks but are not visible to the naked eye. Many tribes use this spell but it is a speciality of the Squirrelferatu. The caster may extend the invisibility to others at a cost of one additional Fortitude per round. Activation is PIE + Invisibility + Move Silent. This must be made when the spell is cast. The spell costs one Fatigue for every round it is maintained. While the spell is being maintained the squirrel may move at normal speeds but must maintain concentration or the invisibility fails.

O F T H E

REGENERATE
Regenerate is a natural ability of the Squirrelcanthrope. It allows them to regenerate damage done to them even from beyond death. The only way to stop this power is to dismember the body or sprinkle the remains with belladonna. Also, fire damage does not regenerate. Activation is automatic when damage is taken. If the caster is not dead the cost is one Fatigue. If the power must raise him from the dead then the caster recovers full Fortitude but has no Fatigue points left.

S
Q U I R R E L

TELESKIP
This spell allows short distance teleportation. It causes the caster to travel in a random direction for up to twice the rank of the spell in feet. For instance, a rank three Teleskip allows the caster to teleport in a random direction for six feet. All squirrel tribes may use this spell. The activation of this spell is WIL + Teleskip + Stage Magic. If failed the squirrel is not teleported. The squirrel will never teleport into a wall but may teleport across water. The squirrel may also teleport with anything they are touching but must travel with it; i.e. they cannot teleport something away from them.

inhabitants of the Other World jealous of their position as favored children of Mother Earth. Others say arrogance and unfair economic trade policies have brought this on the Squirrel Kin of Nuttopia. Regardless of the origins, the following are but a sample of Nuttopia’s enemies.

I N

DARK RAT HORDE
The Dark Rat Horde is a cross between a demon escaped from the Under World and a den of rats. They are older than Man and have wandered the Mortal World for ages. Man has been their enemy from their first encounter. They travel in three forms depending on which world they are in. While in the Other World they take the form of a diseased giant rat rooting and smelling of decay. In the Under World they take the form of a swarm of flies that strip the flesh from a squirrel’s body in seconds. In the Mortal World they take the form of a swarm of rats. The swarm obscures any details of individual bodies. It moves like a living carpet stirring dread and fear in the heart of any living creature it approaches. The Horde is more than a group of rats, it is an embodiment of evil cohesively formed into one being. It is a creature whose goals are to see the destruction of Man in a war that he does not even know he is in. The Horde seeks retribution for the attacks that Man has knowingly and unknowingly perpetrated on the Rat Kin. The Squirrel Kin are a part of the Dark Rat Horde’s hatred since Annut was friend of Man. When its plan failed and it took Annut and the Squirrel Kin through the Under World to the Other World, the Horde expected to be worshipped as a god. Annut banished it from Nuttopia when its true nature was discovered. With the aid of Mother Nature, Annut and his Squirrel Kin were able to force it to always show its true form on whatever plane it stood. Before this, the Dark Rat Horde could assume a pleasing shape to fool the unwary. In practice, the Horde is unkillable in any form. It is possible to drive it off with the use of light. It cannot abide sunlight, moonlight or any form of artificial light. In addition, if mistletoe is held in front of it and the name of Mother Earth invoked then the Horde will break and run.

constant threat not only to the Squirrel Kin but also to the Chipmunks. They raid into Nuttopia on cleansing missions. During these attacks the Hawk Reich fighters take prisoners as well as killing many outright. These onslaughts have intensified in recent years to the point where officials talk of return strikes into Hawk Reich territory. Most Squirrel Kin abhor the loss of life such a war would cause. The Hawks are ruled by Rolf Dieters, a master flyer and the perfect Hawk specimen. He has ruled for twelve years and is surely the cause of the recent increase in hostilities. Any attempts by Nuttopia at negotiations have met with their ambassadors being eaten. It is not known if the Hawk Reich is behind this latest trouble in Nuttopia but they are suspected. As well, they have many contacts and agents in the Mortal World and may move against any who seek a solution to troubles there.

She is old and wrinkled with skin that hangs in folds but she is still powerful. Her magic is of a most ancient form, practised before Man walked the earth.

CRISIS

A blight has come to the kingdom of Nuttopia and the king is trying to hide how bad it is. His daughter, the Princess Cashew, decided to aid her kingdom and has assembled a band from all the tribes who answered her call. The blight has destroyed all the nuts in Nuttopia. Without more supplies squirrels will start dying alongside the chipmunks. There are other sources of nuts in the Other World but they are far away, too far away. One of the affects of bringing nuts through the Under World from the Mortal World to the Other World is that they multiply. If one nut is brought back for each tribe there will be enough to feed everyone through the winter.

Goals are a measure of the players ability to relate to the character. The GM and the players as a whole determine if the Goals have been met and if the points are allotted. This is a means of determining a winner in the role-playing scenario. Each Squirrel may carry one nut in each check for a total of two nuts. They may use nets or bags to carry more but must locate the materials to make them.

Since then, Lenny has tried his best to become more terrifying than a bowl of oatmeal but has made little headway.

condition as an advantage. They would stop Lenny if they thought him capable of succeeding. Lenny is not all good and happiness though. His inner Hunger has forced him to take many lives. If he does not feed each day he needs to make a WIL check on a d20 whenever encountering food. Whenever he encounters a new source he receives a -1 to the check. Jones Junior is a dream come true in terms of blood. If he encounters Jones Junior all minuses double. If he fails the will check he goes berserk and tries to reach the victim with all his physical might but does not use his spells. His main objective is an item in Mr. Jones’ collection of ancient oddities in the main house. The Squirrelferatu discovered the Ring of Canus, an ancient artifact that is thought to have the power to break the curse. Lenny believes they may be lying to him and the Ring has the power to increase the curse and make them gods amongst the Squirrel Kin. He is not sure what is true. Lenny believes that if he can return acorns to end the blight in Nuttopia he will be able to demonstrate the worth of the Squirrelferatu to Mother Nature. It is his hope that she will then lift the curse and allow the Squirrelferatu to return to society. STATISTICS

“A reasonable fellow, I am sure he can be reasoned with.“ - On Mr. Jones “The young are our future. Won’t anyone think of the children.” On Jones Junior “Brutes who will surely be our end!” - On Brutus and Rommel “A disturbing collection of cannibals. I pray we do not meet any on our travels.” - On Squirrelferatu “Rabble who will soon be put in their place.”- On the Red Tribe “The true rulers of Nuttopia as is shown by the organization of this party.” - On the Grey Tribe “ T he y s h ed t h ei r S k i n !

Gentlemen do not associate with them.” On Flying Tribe “Loyal to the crown as they should be.” - On Chipmunks Bastion was raised in the Tree of Life and has always had privilege cast upon him. He knows little of suffering and less of labor. His family has been part of the House of Annut for centuries and has done an upstanding job of avoiding unpleasantries until now. He was in the Great Hall when the news of the blight was brought to King Agememnut. It was a great shock when the King turned to Bastion and told him he would be going with the expedition to the Mortal World. All his life Bastion has found a way to avoid learning anything about fighting, work or even labor. He is gifted with a silver tongue, though, and hopes that will be enough to ensure his success.

He has seen the exploitation of the worker and has helped in the fight to organize them. With the help of Linseed the workers of Nuttopia will unite and gain the utopia that is found at the end of the path of Social Revolution. Nutsky came forward as a representative of the Red Tribe to aid in the plight of the proletariat. When he brought the news of the blight to the bourgeois King, Nutsky was drafted into the effort to save Nuttopia.

He could not do this for a bourgeois king but he would do it for the people. When he left, his family was there to see him off and give them their best wishes. The community gave him a supply of explosive nutbutter to be used in the people’s fight. He will save these brave workers. The Red Tribe discovered a copy of Thomas More’s Utopia in Mr. Jones’ library. These words must be heard by the proletariat. Comrade Nutsky must recover the book for the good of the people.

“Salvation is only found through repentance.” - On Squirrelferatu “God is not dead, he is just taking a nutbutter break.”- On the Red Tribe “One should not put themselves above their gods.” - On the Grey Tribe “Abominations!” - On Squirrelcanthrope “The godless seek the darkness.” -On Black Tribe “The errant child shall return.” - On Flying Tribe “The devout shall find salvation.” - On Chipmunks Bruce LeRoi is a Chipmonk of the Order of Assisi. He was fascinated with the Order since he was a little chipmunk and dedicated himself to becoming one of the brotherhood as soon as he was of age. Early in his studies, he found he had an aptitude for the exercise regimen the Chipmonks practiced. He excelled at it and later found he could apply the basic principles of balance and breathing to self-defense. When the Blight struck Grasser’s Island the chipmunks sent a representative to the King. King Agememnut met with them and asked for a representative to aid the quest. The chipmunks all agreed it should be a Chipmonk from the Order of Assisi but they valued the Chipmonks and feared that whoever they picked would be lost. This brought Bruce LeRoi to mind. Not terribly popular with the Chipmonks or the chipmunks in general, he had the aptitude to be of aid and could be lost if the worst happened. In this manner, Bruce found himself heading to the Mortal World. The Chipmonks took advantage of this journey to the Mortal World and particularly Mr. Jones’ farm, to acquire an ancient shell written by one of their founders, Darius Shortnutt. The Shell of Darius is said to contain ancient writings telling of his conversations with Lucifer, the Dark One. He was put through trials and barely survived but in doing so was able to extract seven truths about the formation and form of the universe. These truths would shake the foundations of Rodent Kin society in Nuttopia. It is Bruce’s primary mission to recover this shell. Overall, Bruce is most concerned with acquiring enough nuts to avert a famine. He is dedicated to getting the Shell of Darius but is personally driven to save Nuttopia and Grasser’s Island from starvation. STATISTICS

When the Flying Tribe heard of the Blight they sent volunteers and Donnabelle was the only one with experience with dogs. She has outsmarted her share of ferocious guard dogs, wild dingos and hungry wolves. She has developed a burning hatred for the canine species and wishes nothing but harm for them. If she has an opportunity to kill Rommel or Brutus without endangering the group, she will do it. A mission that she has taken on herself is the recovery of the Barnum Balloon. The Flying Tribe has no home since they lost the Bailey Balloon over fifteen years ago. Bailey was a floating nest for flying squirrels all over the Other World. The Hawk Reich was kept at bay with the constant vigil of the skies. It is likely the birds were involved in the disappearance of the Bailey Balloon. To this end, the Flying Tribe has given Donnabelle a potion of reduction to reduce the Barnum Balloon to the size of a single nut. The future of the Flying Tribe is in Donnabelle’s paws. STATISTICS

MR. JONES
Mr. Jones started life in a small town in a large country. His father was an archaeologist and schooled him in many mysteries of the ancient past. He went off to University and studied, receiving his own degrees in ancient history and archeology. His life was filled with many adventures and rich experiences. Then he met Sarah. Sarah was a museum curator who inherited a nut farm from her father. He always told her the fairies help tend his grove and that was why he always had the biggest and best nuts. When Sarah and Mr. Jones married, he left his profession to help her with the grove. It was not long before Sarah was expecting and the couple could not be happier. All went well until the night of the birth. They rushed to the hospital in the rain. The storm thundered all about, the wind blew the car back and forth across the road. Lightning flashed and a squirrel darted across the road. Mr. Jones lost control of the car and they crashed into a tree. Sarah was badly hurt and giving birth, there, in the wreckage. She held on as long as she could and lived long enough to see her husband hold her baby. Mr. Jones was crushed. Eleven months after Sarah’s death, Mr. Jones has found happiness in his son and the grove. He is the first to admit that Jones Junior seems to live a charmed life. He has found the boy in all manner of strange places but always just before tragedy. His two faithful dogs, Rommel and Brutus, help to keep the boy safe. Since that tragic night, Mr. Jones has an intense hatred for squirrels. He does not blame the squirrel out loud, but in his heart it will always be more the squirrel’s fault than the storm.

Unknown to Mr. Jones, Jones Junior’s mother Sarah and her family are under the protection of a tribe of Fairies from the Other World. These fairies help the grove produce the biggest and best nuts. They also ensure the family is well protected from the dark forces of the world. The fairies never show themselves and will not openly fight any creature, preferring to teleport Jones Junior to safety. Jones Junior sees the fairies but does not have the ability to tell anyone. He spends most of his day teleporting from one place to another, revelling in the pursuit of his father. STATISTICS

ROMMEL
Rommel is a German Shepherd and considers the grove and the area beyond the wall all his territory. He hunts anything that enters the grove and pursues it beyond the borders until he captures it. He is single minded and very loud. He has excellent hearing and sense of smell. His one weakness is that he is extremely ticklish. He will roll over onto his back if anything brushes his belly. He can be kept at bay in this manner for up to 15 minutes. STATISTICS

Squirrel Attack! MR. JONES’ GROVE
Jones’ Grove is riddled with traps intended for both squirrels and other rodents. Unknown to Mr. Jones, the traps are cloaked in illusion by fairies. The grove is also patrolled by Brutus and Rommel. If Mr. Jones is present he will shoot the squirrels. The grass is short and well tended making approach to the orchards difficult. Going over the wall is dangerous since there is an electrified wire at the top and barbwire. This may be detected if a successful Detect Traps at a -2 is made.

ACORN GROVE
The acorn grove is one of the most heavily trapped areas. To make it through without falling into one of the pit traps or snares, a successful Search skill check must be made every time the person changes direction. A failure means the squirrel fell in the trap. It requires a successful Climb skill check to get out again. Each failure of the Climb skill adds a -1 to the next attempt. A harvesting machine sits in the rows between the majestic oaks and verifies the trees are ready to give up their nuts.

A closer inspection reveals the nuts have been moved to the Tool Shed. All is not lost as the party is able to see Mr. Jones carrying the last sack in.

ABANDONED SHED
The abandoned shed is little more than a shack. It looks to have served many duties in its time including as a child’s play house. The paint has all peeled and the faint odor of raccoon urine stains the tranquil setting. The windows are shattered sockets looking out on the groves. From the roof, a good view of the groves and main buildings can be had. The tar-paper of the roof is tattered and riddled with rusty nails. The shed cants slightly to one side and everything creeks when touched.

PEANUT GROVE
The low height bushes of the peanut grove show that the peanuts are not in season yet. They cannot serve the party’s purposes today.

PECAN GROVE
The pecan grove has already been picked over. Little more than shells are left between the rows of stout trees. The trees may provide cover for the approach to the main house if the party can stay in the trees

themselves. Little cover grows on the ground and what does is fairly short grass.

THE WALL
The stone wall surrounding the grove is nearly ten feet high, requiring a Climb skill check. At the top, a string of electrified barbwire trails along the outer edge. The party has no tools capable of cutting the wire. If they attempt to climb over, they will be electrocuted. The best way in is through one of the many gates. The gates are not in good repair and a Climb Skill check at -3 will get one of the squirrels to the latch. Once there they may open the door and sneak in.

THE MAIN HOUSE

O U S E

The main house is not difficult to enter but requires some stealth to move around without detection. Mrs. Detweiller, the house keeper, is moving about cleaning and taking care of Jones Junior, when she can find him. If she hears him crying she will come running. If she sees squirrels, she will call for the dogs and Mr. Jones, pick up the baby and run for the outside. The house was originally built to hold a large farming family. With Mr. Jones, Mrs. Detweiller and Jones Junior it seems too empty. Rooms have a stale, never visited feel to them. Many of the items in storage were put there and forgotten.

H

A I N

GROUND FLOOR
Mrs. Detweiller patrols the ground floor regularly doing cleaning, cooking and other house work. She is not terribly attentive but notices if the party makes too much noise.

M

LIBRARY
The library holds a great number of books on a wide range of subjects. The smell of old books and parchment permeates the room. The clutter spread across several finely crafted tables shows a lifetime of archaeology and pursuit of artifacts. The large windows let light in brightening the room as much as the weight of ancient artifacts brings a solemnity to it. There is a feeling of history in the room that flows beyond the age of the floorboards. A search of the room reveals none of the books the party is looking for but yields the Shell of Darius . It is in a vice on a table with a magnifying glass over it. It cannot be removed unless a Disarm Traps skill check - 2 is made. If the check is made then the shell falls free.

MR. JONES’ BEDROOM
This room is furnished with ancient wall hangings depicting splendorous idyllic scenes. The rug is of ancient Persian origin and melds with the floor in a soothing manner. The bed is huge and raised far off the floor but stacked with pillows and an oversized mattress that welcomes one to sleep.

On the dressing table a small jewelry box lies open. A successful Search skill check will reveal a diamond ring lying amongst costume jewelry.

KITCHEN
The kitchen is firmly the domain of Mrs. Detweiller and also the nexus of travel to the other parts of the house. This room smells of cooling pies and spiced apple cider. Various drying spices adorn the window frames and the back door is open leaving only the screen door as protection against the bugs. The floor is scrubbed and the tables are always clean. Birds can be heard singing outside and Mrs. Detweiller hums a popular tune while she works. To cross the area when Mrs. Detweiller is present a Move Silently and a Move in Shadows skill check must be made.

T

PANTRY
The pantry holds more food than the party has seen in their lives. Most is safely stored in closed, locked cabinets but a large loaf of fresh bread sits cooling on a stool. The pantry is dark and a perfect place to hide from Rommel and Brutus as they are not allowed in. The cabinets may be opened with a Open Locks skill check at -2. Once inside, there are dried nuts, canned fruits and vegetables, pasta and sundry dry goods. The dried nuts will not help Nuttopia.

SECOND FLOOR
The second floor of the Jones’ House is seldom used. There is a fine dust on everything and the air is a bit stale as if the windows had not been opened in too long. Everything is clean and in its place but the air of disuse is thick.

H

MIDDLE BEDROOM
The middle bedroom was Sarah’s when she was a little girl. The smell of the room is like nutmeg on a pumpkin pie. The sun filters in through a bank of windows overlooking the orchards. From here it is easy to imagine the laughter of a young girl playing in her room. There are dolls on the bed and a hair comb on the dresser, waiting as though the girl who lived here for so many years will walk through the door. After one good look at the room the door suddenly slams shut and no effort will open it. The squirrels find that the room may indeed be haunted. Sarah has not abandoned her son and those in the party wishing him ill can feel the chill of her discerning eye. Lenny, the Squirrelferatu, sees a dim form of a woman standing over the crib near the window. She warns the party not to harm Jones Junior. After this, the room temperature rises to normal and the door opens. A search of the room reveals a small jewelry box containing a ring with the head of a wolf stamped on it. It is the Ring of Canus. To leave the room with it, Lenny must promise not to harm Jones Junior. If he attempts to leave without promising then he finds the door blocked by

an icy wall of force. If he leaves the ring behind, or makes his promise, then he may leave with the others.

BASEMENT
The basement is dark and dreary. It smells faintly of coal and kerosine. It is dark as a tomb initially and becomes poorly lit even if the lights are on. The sense of something wrong is potent here. The group has a feeling that something has come here to feed and has failed to do so, until now. Crates and boxes are stacked haphazardly all through the basement, brought in via the coal chute. Some contain recent additions while others are items left by Sarah’s family. In the darkness the Dark Rat Horde has made a home. It waits for the squirrels and plans. Once they are in the basement it will strike and try to take someone down. If it hits (Two attacks, +3 TH) it draws the target into its depths. Only a combined strength of 8 or higher (i.e. three squirrels of 3 STR = Nine STR) will pull the victim out. If the Dark Rat Horde maintains their hold for two rounds then the victim is absorbed and becomes part of the horde. The horde may be dispersed in its normal manner (see “Dark Rat Horde” on page 16). There is one crate that stands out from the others, and can be easily seen from the stairs. The crate is decorated with pictures of balloons and contains the Barnum Balloon. It is located near the stairs. Sitting on top of the box is a copy of Thomas More’s Utopia.

NUT STORAGE ROOM
This room is thoroughly sealed. This is due in part to a rat problem but also to keep the nuts fresh. The party can reach the lock by making a Climb Skill check at +2 (due to the easy nature and handholds on the door). Then, they need to pick the lock on the door. It requires an Open Locks skill check at -4 due to the complexity of the lock. Once inside the barrels are all sealed and nailed shut. The nut barrels are wooden but made of oak and very difficult to break. Comrade Nutsky’s explosive nutbutter will open a hole if he makes his Explosives skill check. Remember, each squirrel may carry two nuts in their cheeks but the chipmunk can carry four.

GARBAGE/SCRAP ROOM
This room is strewn with debris that has accumulated over the years and was too useful to throw away. The scrap contains a number of useful sharp implements conveniently squirrel sized. They may be used to work on the nut barrels in the Nut Storage Room to open them. Lodged in the debris is a family of red squirrels. They are mortal squirrels and not as educated as the Nuttopian squirrels but help the party by telling them of the groves. They know of the Barnum Balloon and saw it taken to the basement. They also know of the Brazil Nut tree in the Green House. They do not know of any books. They will not fight or expose their position and are deadly afraid of the dogs. Their names are John, Mary, Harry and Gil. They may come out if they hear noises around the Nut Room.

THE GREEN HOUSE
The Green House is the nursery for new trees. Some are exotic trees that never leave the Green House while the majority are destined for replanting in the groves. The floors are made up of field stone and compressed dirt, molded by years of farmers boots. The beds are about three feet off the floor and have trees in various stages of development. The ceiling is made up of hundreds of small panes of green glass creating an ambient light that is very relaxing. Windows around the walls let light in on sunny days. The humidity makes one think of summer days in the tropics and wish for a light breeze. The smell of new earth and growing trees fills the air and makes for a contrast to the summer heat, making it smell like spring. Still, there is something about the nursery that makes it too quiet, too peaceful.

The Brazil Nut tree is a thing of beauty. Normally forming the canopy of a forest, this tree has been carefully pruned and managed to keep it small. It stands only 12 feet tall and has but a single fruit. Inside this coconut sized fruit are the precious Brazil Nuts. There is only one pod lying in the Brazil Nut bed containing five ripe Brazil Nuts. The pods are only ripe after they fall. Nestled against the tree is a poisonous asp brought in one of Mr. Jones’ deliveries. It strikes at anyone approaching it, the tree or the pod. It has the following stats:

IRIDIUM LITE

The Iridium system is based on a premise that natural talent modifies skills. In addition, combat is lethal, armor protects the body but makes a person easier to hit and the best thing is to avoid combat or at least not get hit. The following rules are intended to be generic and apply over a wide variety of settings. Modern skills and weapons may not be appropriate for a fantasy setting, and some spells and powers may not be available in a futuristic setting. Use what makes sense for your particular game and remember: the point is to have fun, not argue over rules!

BASIC POINTS
• Skills are resolved by rolling under Skill + Aptitude + Applicable Statistic. This reflects natural talent and trained skill. Combat represents an effort to hit a target, utilizing the attacker’s skill to overcome the target’s Defence. Armor makes a character easier to hit but protects from damage. Armor sloughs off or becomes less effective as damaged. Karma is a player mechanic rather than an in game character mechanic. It represents the character’s luck. Fatigue represents the character’s spiritual and physical endurance for using powers or spells. Distribute 60 points to statistics. With the point-buy system each statistic receives one point automatically before the 60 are allocated. No statistic may be 0. Alternatively, roll 1d10 eleven times and apply the rolls in any order to the statistics; i.e. roll 3,5,8,2,10,10,8,5,7,3,9 and a character could have a 10 STR, 9 AGL, etc. Some settings require choosing a career or organization to belong to. Chose if required, and add any starting skills, spells, or powers to the character sheet. Some settings require choosing spells or powers. Spend three points on these if applicable. Calculate Skill Development points by adding WIS+INT. These may be used to buy skills. All costs are one for one; so 3 ranks of Search costs three points. Apply 6 points to Aptitudes above and beyond the Development points. Aptitudes are added to all Skill checks within that area; i.e. Navigation skill check adds Intellect Aptitude.

5. Calculate Base Fortitude and apply it to the specific areas of the body. Base Fortitude equals STR + CON + WIL. Areas one and four (head and chest) receive 1/2 the Base Fortitude while the seven and eight (stomach and groin) receive the full Base Fortitude. The two, three, five, six, nine and ten (the extremities) receive double the Base Fortitude. Calculate Karma and Fatigue. Karma is a pool of points equal to 1/2 LUC. Fatigue is equal to CON + PIE. See “Karma” on page 53 and “Fatigue” on page 61. Calculate Defense. Defense is equal to STR+AGL. Choose weapons and equipment.

STATISTIC CHECKS DESCRIPTION STAT
WIL

SITUATION
Resistance to a mental attack, forcing one’s way through a painful or difficult task, or as a way to stay conscious after a severe wound has been inflicted. Resistance checks to see if a person falls from a narrow bridge, overall tests of coordination. This check cannot be used to avoid being hit.

AGL

Statistic checks are made against the designated statistic on a d20. For instance, a character uses his power of Persuasion to make a person give them some money. After the character makes the activation for the Persuasion power, the target must make a Resistance of their WIL - the attacker’s rank in Persuasion. If the target succeeds then the suggestion is accepted.

SKILL CHECKS
Skill checks are done on a d20. The Game Master chooses the statistic that fits the situation and the skill the player wishes to use. It is then a case of rolling a d20 and rolling under the Skill + Aptitude + Statistic. For instance, if a player wishes to bluff their way past the security guard at the movie lot using Deception skill by attempting to be intimidating, the GM determines that the CHA statistic is what is needed. If the player had tried sweet talking they might have used APP stat. If the player has a Deception skill of three, an Aptitude for Thief of one and a CHA of six then the base chance is ten. The GM determines that it is a moderately difficult task since the guard has been put on alert and assigns a -2 modifier making the new target eight. The player rolls a 4 and succeeds by four.

have failed. Alternatively, before a skill is rolled, a player may spend three Karma in order to assure that a skill is successful. At the discretion of the GM, the effects of a failed roll may be enforced regardless of Karma. For instance, a failed Disarm Traps may result in the trap being set off even if the player still has Karma. Skills such as Search would not have these consequences since failure has no physical effect. Karma may be spent as many times as the player wants on a single action until all points are exhausted. For example, if a player has ten Karma and wishes to, they may re-roll their Search skill up to ten times. If the desired result is not reached by then, the last result stands. At the Game Master’s discretion, Karma may be used to perform extraordinary feats such as leaping from one building to another across an alley. The use of Karma in this manner causes the game to be more cinematic and everyone in the group should agree to their use in this manner. They cannot be used to alter the primary plot of the game; i.e. “I use a Karma Point so the main opponent is dead.” Karma Points are recovered at the end of a session.

I T E

L

Unskilled Attempts
A character with no ranks in a skill may still attempt to perform that skill if the GM believes it is possible. If the skill is attempted with no ranks then the check is made at a minus ten. For instance, an attempt to roll out of a speeding car could be made with Acrobatics. The character needs to roll under their AGL (7) + Thief Aptitude (2) = 9 - 10 for unskilled. This equals negative one and means the player must roll a 1 in order to succeed. One always succeeds on skill checks.

R I D I U M

U ns k i ll e d W e a p o n U s e
If a character picks up a weapon and has no skill in it then they may still attempt to use it at the discretion of the GM. If the weapon is overly complex the GM may disallow use of it. As with an unskilled attempt, the character is at -10 to hit with the weapon. They may not apply any Aptitude bonuses. Weapon sights or high quality bonuses will still be added. For example, a character attempts to fire a pistol with no skill. The target’s Defense is 12. The player must roll a 12+10=22 to hit the target. If the player rolls a natural 20 then the attack automatically hits. Natural 20 always hit for attacks.

I

COMBAT
Combat starts by having all participants roll 1d10 and add AGL to the result. This number is called initiative. Proceeding from highest to lowest initiative, each player rolls their attacks or takes their actions. They may take only one action but may use as many attacks as their mode of attack allows.The one with the highest

total may choose to go first or hold their action until the end of a round. Each person rolls a d20 and adds their Weapon Use Skill for the weapon used (i.e. Pistol Use for Pistols) and their Fighter Aptitude. Power or magic use adds ranks of the power or spell; i.e. Energy Blast of rank three adds three to hit. Unarmed Combat works in the same manner for attacks while maneuvers require an Unarmed Skill Check first. If the resulting total of 1d20+skill+Aptitude+rank is equal to or greater than the target’s Defence, then the attacker has made a successful hit. If the number is less than the target’s Defence, then the attacker has missed. Damage is resolved and if a character has their Fortitude for an area reduced to 0 then they must make a save vs. WIL or fall unconscious. If the area is reduced to negative the Fortitude for that area then it no longer operates. If this is in a vital area (the head, chest stomach or groin) the character dies in one round. If aid can be rendered to the character within the round then they may survive. Damage is effective as it is dealt. If an attacker deals enough damage to a target to render it unconscious, dead or destroyed then the target does not receive its action for that round. This means that if an attacker goes first in a round and eliminates its opponent then the opponent does not get to retaliate. Targeting is determined for each attack. If the attacker hits three times then three separate targeting rolls are made. If successful, then the damage for that attack is placed wherever the attacker wishes. If targeting is missed, then the location is determined randomly by a roll of a d10. The above process is repeated until all characters have had their action, attacks or one side is incapacitated/yields. The next round has everyone re-roll initiative and continue the process.

Optional Roll Under Attack Resolution
This form of combat may be used for continuity with the rest of the Iridium Lite skill system. In this combat system, the attacker rolls under their DEX + Fighter Aptitude + Weapon Use - Opponent’s AGL. For instance, if an attacker has a DEX equal to 5, a Fighter Aptitude of 1 and a Pistol Use of 4, their base is 10. If the opponent’s AGL is 4 then the attacker must role under a 6 on a d20. In all other ways, combat proceeds as described above.

A round is roughly a minute but may be stretched or compacted to fit the story by the GM. It is best defined as the time for a single action or set of attacks. A turn is usually ten minutes. In the broadest terms it is a scene or the time for one part of the story in one locale to unfold.

PROFESSION PATHS

AND CAREERS Some settings require choosing profession paths and careers. A profession path is a broad category of employment, such as Doctor, Pilot, Spy, or Soldier. A career is a specific job under a career path, such as Pediatrician, Submarine Pilot, Corporate Spy, or Swordsman. Additional starting skills and abilities are given depending on the profession and career chosen.

SKILLS

Skills are used to accomplish the goals of a character. It is assumed that checks vs. skills are done for extraordinary situations. Simple tasks are thought to automatically succeed. When difficulties arise then the GM may apply modifiers to reflect the adversity. Some skills are self defined by their name while others require listing. The skills defined here and on the character sheet are not meant to be exhaustive and, if desired, may be expanded on by the players or the CA. Skills are broken up into six groups, Intellectual, Movement, Craft, Fighter, Thief and Performer. These are also the Aptitudes of a character and are added into skill checks for that category. The following lists are not absolute, and players may work with their GM’s to create new skills.

EFFECTS

E

Effects are magical, psychic or generally supernatural powers. In a fantasy setting it is a spell, in a super heroes setting it is super powers and in a paranormal setting it is psychic powers. Regardless of the source various amazing effects can be generated. Sometimes it could be a ball of fire and at others it might be as subtle as reading a person’s mind. Effects are generally used with a skill. This means that resolution is on a d20, but uses Skill + Effect + Stat. For instance, in the Supers Inc. setting, a character with Strength who wishes to jump to the top of a building must make their Acrobatics + Strength Power + AGL. If the character has a three Acrobatics, a two in Strength and a AGL of five then they need to roll under 3 + 2 + 5 = 10 on a d20.

F F E C T S

FATIGUE
Every time an Effect is used the player must mark off a Fatigue point. Three Fatigue may be spent to force the activation of an Effect. This must be done before any attempt to activate the Effect normally. Characters recover Fatigue points by resting. They recover their CON in points for every hour of rest. The GM may allow the recovery of Fatigue points for partial hours rested

CONTESTED EFFECTS
At times two enhanced individuals will pit their Effects against one another. In tests of this nature, activation rolls are made and the one who succeeds by the most wins the contest. For instance, two enhanced individuals with Energy Blast, one fire and one ice, find themselves battling for control of a corridor. The fire blaster

wishes to torch the building but the ice blaster wishes to prevent the inferno. Ice has an activation of 13 and rolls an eight on a d20 making his activation by 5. Fire has an activation of 16 and rolls an eight making his activation by 8 beating Ice and setting the building ablaze.

DURATION
Duration of an Effect is often dependant on story. In general, the following durations are used to determine the length of time an Effect will last. If, at any point, the user wishes to stop the Effect they may. At the end of the duration, the user may pay another Fatigue in order to continue the operation of the Effect without having to Activate the power. For instance, a person with Rank five flight has flown for twenty-five minutes they may spend another Fatigue point to fly another twenty-five minutes without an Activation check. The default duration for an Effect is Rank * 5 minutes. In some cases, like teleportation, the Effect has a duration of instantaneous. The teleportation occurs instantly upon the successful activation roll. Some Effects have their own duration and will be noted in the setting.

ARMOR

FOR IRIDIUM LITE Armor is ablative. That is it absorbs damage until such time as it reaches zero and than damage bleeds over on to a character’s Fortitude. It may be mixed but whatever type covers five or more areas and has the largest Armor Modifier is the Armor Modifier applied to the wearer’s Defense. Armor protects from damage but makes the wearer easier to hit. For instance, chain armor protects for 30 points of Fortitude to all areas. It has an Armor Modifier of -2 which means if a character had a 16 Defense it would be effectively 14 if they were wearing chain. Armor Modifier may be reduced by STR. For every two points of STR, the Armor Modifier will be reduced by one. This will not add to a character’s Defense. For instance, a character with an eight STR wearing chain armor would not have any Armor Modifier applied to their Defense. If Armor Use (“Armor Use” on page 58) skill is not taken with the type of armor worn, in the case of chain it would be Linked Type Armor, the modifiers are doubled. For chain this would mean the 2 Armor Modifier would become a -4.

EXPERIENCE

Experience is spent to advance a character. Once spent it is gone reflecting the advancement of the character in new training. The duration of training varies on a number of factors including the availability of someone to train the character in the skill, the difficulty of learning the skill and the availability of materials (if necessary) to learn the skill.

AWARDING EXPERIENCE
The amount of experience to be awarded ranges from one to four points per gaming session. Individuals might earn an extra point or two for individual actions that night but it should not be more than two additional points. The grounds for the amount of experience to be awarded depends on the group. If the preference is for role playing then have an additional point for the best role playing that night. If the group role plays well, the GM can award the group more points. In general, the experience awarded should be based on the amount the characters experienced that session, the amount the plot was advanced, the amount the story was told and the amount everyone enjoyed themselves.
