"description":"<div class=\"swade-core\">\n<h2>Cartes d'action (Initiative)</h2>\n<p>Dans <cite>Savage Worlds</cite>, le rythme doit rester soutenu ! Pour aider le MJ à se souvenir de l’ordre du combat et ajouter un peu de piment, on utilise un paquet de cartes à jouer (incluant deux jokers) pour déterminer l’ordre d’initiative. C’est ce qu’on appelle les “cartes d'action.”</p>\n<p>Le MJ peut distribuer les cartes face visible ou non en fonction de sa préférence. Il peut également distribuer les cartes des personnages face visible et celles de leurs ennemis face cachée pour augmenter la tension chez les joueurs et apporter un peu d’incertitude. </p>\n<p>Au début de chaque round :</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chaque @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Wild Cards and Extras]{Joker} reçoit une carte d'action (plus d’éventuelles cartes supplémentaires liées aux @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Edges]{Atouts}). Tous les Alliés sous le contrôle du joueur agiront également à cette carte d'action.</li>\n<li>Les @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Wild Cards and Extras]{Extras} (tous les zombies, tous les loups, etc.) reçoivent en général une seule carte d'action par groupe et agissent tous en même temps, ce qui les rend plus simple à gérer. Le MJ peut également choisir de grouper un Joker avec ses sbires s’il le souhaite. Le but au final reste de rendre le combat le plus simple et rapide possible.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Battre les cartes : </strong> les cartes d'action sont mélangées à la fin d’un round où un joker a été tiré.</p>\n<p><strong>Grands groupes : </strong> pour des parties comportant de nombreux joueurs, ou celles en temps limité, le meneur de jeu peut décider de ne distribuer que deux cartes : une pour les gentils, et une pour les méchants. Durant le tour des joueurs, le MJ fait agir les joueurs chacun leur tour dans un ordre défini. Cela accélèrera les choses si c’est plus important que de varier l’ordre d’initiative. Si l’un des personnages dispose d’Atouts comme @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-edges.Level Headed]{Sang-froid} ou @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-edges.Quick]{Vif}, celui-ci s’applique à la carte du groupe (mais une seule fois).</p>\n<h3>Le décompte</h3>\n<p>Les cartes distribuées, le MJ procède ensuite au décompte d’As à 2. Chaque groupe résout ses actions lorsque sa carte est appelée.</p>\n<p><strong>Égalités : </strong>les égalités entre cartes de la même valeur sont résolues dans l’ordre des suites : pique ♠, cœur <span class=\"red-text\">♥</span>, carreau <span class=\"red-text\">♦</span>, et trèfle ♣.</p>\n<ul class=\"red-bullet-list\">\n<li><strong>JOKERS : </strong>les personnages (ou les groupes) ayant un joker en tant que carte d'action peuvent agir quand ils le souhaitent dans le round, et peuvent même interrompre l’action de quelqu’un d’autre. En outre, tous leurs jets de @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Traits]{Traits} et de @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Damage]{dégâts} se font avec un bonus de +2 pour le round !</li>\n</ul>\n</div>"
"description":"<div class=\"swade-core\">\n<h2>Actions</h2>\n<p>Les personnages font des “actions” lorsque vient le tour de leur @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Action Cards (Initiative)]{Cartes d'action} à chaque round. Un personnage peut se déplacer (voir <strong>@Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Movement]{Mouvement}</strong>) p. 92) et effectuer une action à n’importe quel point de son déplacement sans malus (qu’il s’agisse d’une attaque, d’un sort, etc.).</p>\n<p>Les personnages ont le choix parmi une multitude d’actions possibles durant leur tour. @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Support]{Soutenir} des alliées, imposer des @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Test]{Épreuves} à des adversaires, utiliser un @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Powers]{pouvoir}, attaquer au @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Fighting]{corps-à-corps} ou @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Shooting]{distance}. Un personnage peut effectuer plusieurs actions au cours de son tour (voir <strong>@Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Multi-Actions]{Actions multiples}</strong> p. 97).</p>\n<p>Pour des actions plus complexes comme allumer une torche ou chercher un objet dans son sac à dos, plusieurs rounds peuvent être nécessaires. Dans ce cas, le MJ reste seul juge et peut décider que le temps nécessaire est fixe ou aléatoire ([[/r 1d6]] rounds par exemple).</p>\n<h3>Actions gratuites</h3>\n<p>Déclamer une phrase ou deux, déplacer un personnage d’un nombre de cases inférieur ou égal à son mouvement, se jeter @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Prone]{à terre}, ou encore lâcher un objet sont des exemples d’actions gratuites. Un héros peut en général effectuer plusieurs actions gratuites simultanées durant son tour (parler et lâcher un objet tout en marchant, par exemple). Là encore, le MJ reste seul juge de ce qui reste acceptable, mais le bon sens devrait rester le guide principal.</p>\n<p>Certaines actions gratuites adviennent de manière automatique et une seule fois au début du tour d’un personnage, comme les jets pour récupérer des états @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Damage Effects]{Secoué} ou @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Stunned]{Sonné}.</p>\n<p>Les actions gratuites qui sont des réactions — comme les jets opposés pour résister à des actions adverses ou à des pouvoirs — ne sont pas limitées et adviennent à chaque fois que la situation l’exige.</p>\n</div>"
"description":"<div class=\"swade-core\">\n<div class=\"section-header\">\n<h1>Progression</h1>\n</div>\n<div>\n<p>Un des plus grands attraits du jeu de rôle est de faire progresser votre personnage, de le voir évoluer de novice plein de rêves à héros légendaire.</p>\n<p>La Progression dans <cite>Savage Worlds</cite> dépend de la longueur prévue de votre campagne. Pour les campagnes courtes d’une dizaine de sessions, nous vous recommandons de faire Progresser les personnages une fois par session de jeu. Pour les parties en oneshot, comme en convention par exemple, vous pouvez même envisager d’autoriser une Progression en <em>milieu</em> de session, en particulier s’il y a un temps mort ou que la narration s’y prête.</p>\n<p>Vous pouvez ralentir les choses, en autorisant une Progression toutes les deux sessions, voire toutes les trois pour une campagne au long cours. Vous pouvez opter pour des Progressions lorsque certains objectifs sont atteints. La décision reste dans les mains du MJ.</p>\n<p>Une Progression permet à un personnage de s’améliorer de l’une des manières suivantes. Gardez à l’esprit qu’aucun @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Traits]{Trait} ne peut être augmenté au delà du maximum lié à l’espèce ou à la culture (en général d12).</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Choisir un nouvel @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Edges]{Atout}.</li>\n<li>Augmenter d’un cran une @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Traits]{Compétence} dont la valeur est déjà égale ou supérieure à son Attribut lié.</li>\n<li>Augmenter d’un cran deux Compétences dont les valeurs sont inférieures à leur Attribut lié (y compris prendre à d4 de nouvelles Compétences dont ne dispose pas encore le personnage).</li>\n<li>Augmenter d’un cran un Attribut. Vous ne pouvez choisir cette option qu’une fois par Rang (voir <strong>Rang</strong>, ci-dessous). Un personnage Légendaire peut augmenter un Attribut une Progression sur deux jusqu’au maximum lié à l’espèce ou à la culture.</li>\n<li>Supprimer définitivement un @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Hindrances]{Handicap} Mineur ou passer un Handicap Majeur en Mineur si cela est possible. Avec l’accord du MJ et si cela fait sens, vous pouvez économiser deux Progressions pour pouvoir supprimer un Handicap Majeur. Le joueur et le MJ doivent se mettre d’accord sur la façon dont cela se produit. Peut-être qu’un événement traumatisant aura déclenché un changement d’attitude chez le personnage, que ce dernier aura décidé de faire des efforts pour changer voire même qu’il cherchera l’aide d’un professionnel entre ses missions.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Rang</h2>\n<p>Au fur et à mesure qu’un personnage obtient des Progressions, son Rang augmente. C’est une mesure grossière de la puissance d’un héros. Chaque Rang donne accès à des @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Edges]{Atouts} et des capacités plus puissantes, comme des @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Powers]{pouvoirs}) par exemple.</p>\n<table class=\"table value-table\"><caption class=\"table-caption\">\n<h2 class=\"table-title\">Rang</h2>\n</caption>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"table-header-row\">\n<th class=\"table-column-header\" scope=\"col\">Progressions</th>\n<th class=\"table-column-header\" scope=\"col\">Rang</th>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>0-3</td>\n<td>Novice</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4-7</td>\n<td>Aguerri</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8-11</td>\n<td>Vétéran</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>12-15</td>\n<td>Héroïque</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>16+</td>\n<td>Légendaire</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<h3>Débuteravecdespersonnagesexpérimentés</h3>\n<p>SileMJsouhaitecommencerlejeuavecdespersonnagesplusexpérimentés,créezsimplementceuxciauRangNovicepuisfaiteslesProgressernormalement.Vousvousassurezainsiqu’ilsserontéquilibréscommes’ilsavaientévoluéencoursdejeu.</p>\n<p>Lapossessiondebienssupplémentairesoud’équipementsparticuliersresteàladiscrétionduMJselonl’univers.Dem

"description":"<div class=\"swade-core\">\n<div class=\"section-header\">\n<h1>Allies</h1>\n</div>\n<div>\n<p>Allies play a big part in many <cite>Savage Worlds</cite> games. They serve as troops under your hero’s command in <cite>Weird Wars</cite>, loyal retainers in fantasy settings, or fellow fighters in glorious rebellions against oppression.</p>\n<p><strong>When to Use These Rules:</strong> Use these rules to help keep track of the party’s followers and give them a little extra personality to play off of as well.</p>\n<p><strong>The Basics: </strong>Players create, control, and track their own followers and nonplayer character allies.</p>\n<h2>Using Allies</h2>\n<p>Keeping up with allies in <cite>Savage Worlds</cite> is simple. Just download the <a title=\"Ally Sheet\" href=\"https://www.peginc.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Ally-Sheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ally Sheet</a> from our website and fill in the blanks.</p>\n<p>Allied @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Wild Cards and Extras]{Extras} are divided up among all the players to control. This is a very important part of <cite>Savage Worlds</cite> because our settings often feature allied bands of skilled hirelings, fellow grunts, or loyal retainers, and the game is designed to handle them quickly and easily. It’s also designed for the players to control them—not the Game Master.</p>\n<p>It doesn’t matter whether or not the <em>characters</em> control the allies, only that the players do. This keeps everyone involved in the action even if his hero is out of the fight, and makes running large combats much easier and more fun for everyone. Of course the GM can always take charge of Extras when the need arises, but with good roleplayers this should rarely be necessary.</p>\n<h3>Allied Personalities</h3>\n<p>You can add a little flavor to your allies by rolling on the <strong>Allied Personalities</strong> table. Jot down the keyword on the Ally Sheet so you and your Game Master have a little insight into each particular ally’s character.</p>\n<p>Consider these general impressions with no particular game effect. They help both the player and GM decide just how an ally might react in a given situation. In a <cite>Weird War Two</cite> game, for instance, a player with a young lieutenant character could look over his list and choose the “Observant” character to pull guard duty. If he has to go with the “Lazy” soldier for some reason, there’s a good chance the GM will rule he falls asleep sometime during his watch.</p>\n<table class=\"table list-table\"><caption class=\"table-caption\">\n<h2 class=\"table-title\">Allied Personalities</h2>\n</caption>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"table-header-row\">\n<th class=\"table-column-header\" scope=\"col\">D20</th>\n<th class=\"table-column-header\" scope=\"col\">Personality</th>\n<th class=\"table-column-header\" scope=\"col\">D20</th>\n<th class=\"table-column-header\" scope=\"col\">Personality</th>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>1</td>\n<td>Treacherous</td>\n<td>11</td>\n<td>Crude</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2</td>\n<td>Cruel</td>\n<td>12</td>\n<td>Agile</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3</td>\n<td>Old</td>\n<td>13</td>\n<td>Observant</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4</td>\n<td>Happy</td>\n<td>14</td>\n<td>Clueless</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5</td>\n<td>Experienced</td>\n<td>15</td>\n<td>Mysterious</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6</td>\n<td>Gung-Ho</td>\n<td>16</td>\n<td>Creative</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>7</td>\n<td>Lazy</td>\n<td>17</td>\n<td>Artistic</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8</td>\n<td>Sneaky</td>\n<td>18</td>\n<td>Fearless</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9</td>\n<td>Bright</td>\n<td>19</td>\n<td>Cowardly</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10</td>\n<td>Young</td>\n<td>20</td>\n<td>Heroic</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<br /><img src=\"modules/swade-core-rules/assets/art/pg112_quote_allies.webp\" alt=\"How come I always get the clueless ones? — Red\"/><br/>\n<h3>Allies&Advancement</h3>\n<p>Alliescanimprovetheirabilitiesaswell.See<strong>@Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade

A basic success means those beneath the template are hit. Failure means the attack didn’t occur for some reason—the creature failed to belch up noxious gas, the flamethrower malfunctioned, etc.</p>\n<p>To attack with a blast template, the player places the template on the tabletop (or describes where he wants it to land) and rolls @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Shooting]{distance}, or @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Athletics]{Athletics} for thrown weapons and breath attacks.

Here’s what each of those states means and how to break free from them.</p>\n<ul class=\"red-bullet-list\">\n<li><strong>ENTANGLED: </strong> The victim can’t move and is @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Distracted and Vulnerable]{Distracted} as long as he remains so.</li>\n<li><strong>BOUND: </strong> The victim may not move, is @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Distracted and Vulnerable]{Distracted and Vulnerable} as long as he remains Bound, and cannot make physical actions other than trying to break free.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Breaking free is an @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Actions]{Action}. With success, an Entangled hero is free of one particular entanglement or grappler. A Bound character improves to Entangled with a success; with a raise, he’s free. See below for more details:</p>\n<p><strong>Breaking Free from a Foe: </strong>Use the <strong>@Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Grappling]{Grappling}</strong> rules in reverse to break free—the victim initiates an opposed @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Athletics]{Athletics} roll with whoever’s holding him (either may roll @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Traits]{Strength} at −2 instead to maintain or break free of the hold). If the victim’s successful, she improves her status one level, or two with a raise.</p>\n<p>A @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Damage Effects]{Secoué} grappler maintains her hold. @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Stunned]{Sonné} grapplers let go immediately.</p>\n<p><strong>Breaking Free from a Device:</strong> Escaping a web, net, or the <em>@Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-powers.Entangle]{Entangle}</em> power is a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trait Rolls]{Strength} −2 roll or @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Athletics]{Athletics} roll (victim’s choice) minus any penalties noted for the entanglement. The sticky web of a giant spider, for example, might note that escape attempts are made at −2 or more. This is an action, and success works just like breaking free from a foe (explained above).</p>\n<p>Characters and allies may also destroy the entanglement (see <strong>@Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Breaking Things]{Breaking Things}</strong>). Webs, ropes, nets, and the like are generally Hardness 4 and must be cut with an edged weapon.</p>\n</div>"

Look through the player’s section of your setting or talk to the GM if it’s a world of her own creation to see what kind of character catches your interest.</p>\n<h2>Race</h2>\n<p>Settings may feature everything from humans to strange aliens, graceful elves, or other exotic races. You can choose to play any race available in your particular setting.</p>\n<p>A number of sample races are detailed @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Races]{here}, as well as rules for players and Game Masters to @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Making Races]{create your own}.</p>\n<h2>HINDRANCES</h2>\n<p>@Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Hindrances]{Hindrances} are flaws, drawbacks, or dark secrets drawn from a character’s backstory.</p>\n<p>You can take up to 4 points of Hindrances. A Major Hindrance is worth 2 points, and a Minor is worth 1. A hero could thus take two Major Hindrances, four Minor, or any combination that adds up to 4 points. (You can take more Hindrances if you want but the maximum benefit is 4 points!)</p>\n<p>Taking Hindrances not only helps you define and roleplay your hero, but also gives you additional points you can use to start with additional attribute or skill points, @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Edges]{Atouts}, or even money for @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Gear Notes]{gear}.</p>\n<p><strong>For 2 points you can:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Raise an attribute one die type, or</li>\n<li>Choose an @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Edges]{Atout}</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>For 1 point you can:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gain another skill point, or</li>\n<li>Gain additional starting funds equal to twice your setting's starting amount (see below)</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>TRAITS</h2>\n<p>Characters are defined by attributes and skills, collectively called “@Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Traits]{traits},” and both work in exactly the same way. Attributes and skills are ranked by die types, typically from d4 to d12, with d6 being the average for adult humans. Higher is better!</p>\n<h3>ATTRIBUTES</h3>\n<p>Every character starts with a d4 in each of five attributes: Agility, Smarts, Spirit, Strength, and Vigor (discussed in more detail @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Traits]{here}).</p>\n<p>You then have 5 points to increase your attributes. Raising a d4 to a d6, for example, costs 1 point. You’re free to spend these points however you like, except that no attribute may ever be raised above a d12 unless a racial ability says otherwise (such as @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Making Races]{Attribute Increase}). If it does, each increase beyond a d12 adds a +1 modifier. Increasing a d12 Strength two steps, for example, is a Strength score of d12+2.</p>\n<img src=\"modules/swade-core-rules/assets/art/pg10_red.webp\" alt=\"AnimageofRedandquote'Nomatterwhatsettingshe'splaying,Emily'scharacterisalways'Red'.Redtakesondifferentaspectswhenshewander

"description":"<div class=\"swade-core\">\n<h2>Conviction</h2>\n<p>Conviction is a special award granted when a character experiences a great victory or catastrophic misfortune. If possible, use a themed token to note the award; maybe a Marshal’s Badge for <cite>Deadlands</cite>, a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Bennies]{Benny} of a different color, a toy doubloon for <cite>50 Fathoms</cite>, and so on.</p>\n<p>Conviction can be spent to add a d6 to all a character’s @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Traits]{Trait} and @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Dealing Damage]{dégâts} totals until the beginning of her next @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Actions]{turn}. This die can @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trait Rolls]{Ace}, and its result is added to the final total.</p>\n<p>Conviction tokens aren’t @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Bennies]{Bennies} and can’t be used as such. They <em>are</em> kept between sessions, however.</p>\n<p>A character may maintain Conviction from round to round by spending a Benny (at the start of his turn, before it runs out). Once Conviction lapses, however, the effect ends.</p>\n<h3>Triumph And Tragedy</h3>\n<p>Conviction is granted for personal triumph and tragedy, drawing on a character’s entire background, including—but not limited to—his @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Edges]{Atouts} and @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Hindrances]{Hindrances}.</p>\n<p>Savage settings may also grant Conviction for certain world-specific actions or events.</p>\n<p><strong>Triumph:</strong> Characters gain Conviction when they overcome significant obstacles core to their overall goals and motivations. This might mean defeating powerful enemies, saving a true love, or overcoming some great mystery or problem.</p>\n<p>The victory should be an achievement over and above the usual. A vampire hunter in <cite>Rippers</cite> shouldn’t get Conviction every time he kills a vampire, for example, but he might when he wipes out an entire coven or slays a powerful master vamp­ire. A super hero might gain Conviction when she saves her true love from a death trap or the clutches of a powerful villain. She wouldn’t earn it just because her boyfriend is in a dangerous encounter.</p>\n<p><strong>Tragedy:</strong> Some of the most interesting heroes of fiction, film, and legend spend as much time battling their personal demons as they do fighting their foes. Eventually these same issues give them strength as they work through their grief or overcome obstacles to rise once more against the challenges they face.</p>\n<p>When a character experiences a significant personal loss or destructive event, and the GM feels it’s appropriate, he gains Conviction. The death of a loved one or close friend (including a party member he was close to), losing an important job, giving in to harmful character flaws and vices, being removed from a case or quest, or getting framed for a crime are all classic examples of heroic tragedy.</p>\n<p>These might happen in the course of the game, but players should also proactively suggest their own ideas to the Game Master. Consider your hero’s backstory and occasionally look for ways to do what your favorite authors do to their characters—torture them! Think about what’s important to them and threaten it or take it away. Most of the time this should be done as a quick narrative tale or a scene with a little interaction and roleplaying so as not to distract from the main campaign or the other players’ time, but occasionally it might inspire a side-trek or adventure to regain—or avenge!—whatever was lost.</p>\n<p>Note that earning Conviction for harmful behavior is motivation for players in a game to occasionally spotlight their character’s dark side. It is not an endorsement or rationalization of poor conduct in the real world.</p>\n<h2 class=\"blue-example\">Example:Red'sRage</h2>\n<p>EmilyisRed,afighterinafantas

This book describes that process—how to create characters, battle monsters, and complete quests through collective story telling and interpretation of various die rolls. </p>\n<p>If you’re new to this whole thing, we recommend watching some “actual play” videos on the internet to get a feel for it.</p>\n<p>And if you are new, we think you’ll love exploring the incredible world of roleplaying games!</p>\n<img src=\"modules/swade-core-rules/assets/art/pg6_quote.webp\" alt=\"Sometimes this all just seems like some weird game. — Red\"/>\n<h2>WhatYouNeedtoPlay</h2>\n<p>Here’swhatelseyouneedtobeginyourjourney…</p>\n<h3>Dice</h3>\n<p><em>SavageWorlds</em>usestraditionalgamingdice:4,6,8,10,12,and20-sided.Youalsoneedaspecial“WildDie,”ad6ofadifferentcolorexplainedinChapterThree.Diceareavailablefromyourfavoritelocalgamingstore,oronlinedirectlyfromPinnacle.</p>\n<p>Weabbreviatethedifferentdiceasd4,d6,d8,d10,d12,andd20.Ifyouseesomethinglike2d6+1,thatmeanstorolltwosix-sideddice,addthetwotogether,thenadd1tothetotal.</p>\n<h3>TheActionDeck</h3>\n<p><em>SavageWorlds</em>usesastandarddeckofplayingcardswiththeJokersleftin.Cardsareusedforinitiativeincombatandtohelpkeepthingsmovingfastandfurious.</p>\n<p>Lookforofficial<em>SavageWorlds</em>ActionDecksforboththecoregameandmostofourSavageSettings!</p>\n<h3>ASavageSetting</h3>\n<p>Willyouandyourfriendsexplorepost-apocalypticruins?Leadaruggedwarbandinyourfavoritefantasyworld?Takeontheroleofvampirelords?Orperhapsfightevilinthemanytheatersofthe<em>WeirdWars</em>™?</p>\n<p>Pickupthebookforyourfavoritegamesettingatyourlocalgamestore,orcreateyourown.OfficialSavageSettingsincludenewEdgesandHindrances,SettingRules,powers,weapons,gear,monsters,andmore!</p>\n<h3>Bennies</h3>\n<p>Tokensofsomesortrepresent“@Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Bennies]{Bennies}”(Americanslangfor“benefits”).Thesecanbeusedtorerolldice,preventdamage,andmuchmore.</p>\n<h3>Miniatures(Optional)</h3>\n<p>Ifyouliketouseminiaturesinyourgames,wemakethemosticoniccharactersandcreaturesformanyofoursettings,andourfriendsatReaperMinisandBronzeAgemakelotsofotherusefulmodelsfortacticalbattlesonthetabletop.</p>\n<p>Wealsoofferprintable“FigureFlats”formanyofourgames—printwhatyouneedforquickandcolorfulminisofheroesandheroines,villains,monsters,andmore.</p>\n<h2>SavageSettings</h2>\n<p>OurSavageSettingsaredesignedtobeeasytoread,run,andplay.TheyfocusonwhatplayersandGameMastersaremostlikelytoneedintheiradventuresandcampaigns.</p>\n<p>Mostsettingsfeatureadventures(calledSavageTales)andPlotPointCampaigns.</p>\n<h3>SavageTales</h3>\n<p>MostSavageTalesaredesignedtobeeasytoread,prepare,andruninminutes,andprovideasolidnight’sentertainment.</p>\n<p>Othersarelonger,full-lengthscenari

If he takes another Wound to that leg, the Hindrance becomes Major. Further Wounds to the same leg add to his Wound total as usual but have no further effect.<br />Later, Gabe takes two Wounds to the Guts. The Game Master rolls once and gets the Battered result from the Injury Table, reducing the Sarge’s Vigor from d8 to d6. Gabe now has three Wounds and two gruesome injuries.</p>\n</div>"

Our various settings have explored supernatural terror and the challenges of final exams in <em>East Texas University</em>™. We’ve wandered the moors of Europe and the savannas of Africa with <em>Solomon Kane</em>™. We’ve galloped across the haunted High Plains of <em>Deadlands: The Weird West</em>™, and the irradiated wastes of <em>Deadlands: Hell on Earth</em>™. We’ve delved the deepest dungeons, blasted to <em>The Last Parsec</em>™ of known space and beyond, battled across the bloody fields of the <em>Weird Wars</em>™, and slugged it out with super villains over cities both real and imagined.</p>\n<p>Like most gamers, we’re fans of a lot of books, movies, and game worlds. One week we might be inspired to run something like <em>Game of Thrones</em>® and another we want to share a cool idea inspired by the <em>Avengers</em>®. </p>\n<p>And while we love learning new game systems and seeing what our friends and peers have created, we also like having a system we know like the back of our hands to fall back on, one that combines the crunch of miniatures-oriented gameplay with the ease of “theatre of the mind” and the creative outlet of the most modern narrative-based play.</p>\n<p>Each new printing of <cite>Savage Worlds</cite> has added to the experience, carefully integrating new styles of play through the years with the solid foundation laid at the very beginning.</p>\n<p>This version of <cite>Savage Worlds</cite> is what we hope is our best attempt yet at accommodating not just every era, genre, and setting, but most every <em>play style</em> as well.</p>\n<p>Want to sit around on couches and carry out most of the tale through talk and a few die rolls? It’s here.</p>\n<p>Want to break out miniatures and have a massive knock-down, drag-out fight? Everything you need is here.</p>\n<p>Need to tell an epic story that’s mostly roleplaying and narrative? Nothing’s stopping you—and sub-systems like Quick Encounters can help you sum up bloody conflicts along the way if pressed for time.</p>\n<p>Perhaps the best thing a game system can do is support <em>your</em> ideas. It should serve as background and a common language for your players—then get out of the way as the story races to its conclusion. We’ve attempted to make that even better in this edition by streamlining many modifiers, simplifying how you pose creative challenges for foes and support your allies, and even opening up new options for heroic multi-actions.</p>\n<p>Enough talk.

"description":"<div class=\"swade-core\">\n<div class=\"section-header\">\n<h1>Mass Battles</h1>\n</div>\n<div>\n<p>Many adventures feature heroes traveling about the land, gathering allies to thwart some inevitable foe or loathsome horde. They build coalitions, train armies, discover powerful artifacts, and finally stand against the enemy in desperate and glorious battle.</p>\n<p>The rules presented here allow the @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Game Mastering]{Meneur de Jeu} to handle everything from a small warband holding a fort against an undead horde to full divisions of troops fighting a massive field battle or a planetary assault from a space-based invasion fleet. It’s abstract, but provides a narrative base for heroes to plan, get involved, and take part in the carnage!</p>\n<p><strong>When to Use These Rules: </strong>Use the Mass Battle rules when you need to resolve a large conflict that can go either way, and also allow the player characters to have a role in its outcome. The culmination of these tales is not always a foregone conclusion, and failure can be just as interesting as victory!</p>\n<p><strong>The Basics: </strong>Each side has a number of “Force Tokens” equal to its relative strength and size. Commanders roll their Battle skill each turn. The winner reduces his rival’s force until one side or the other breaks.</p>\n<h2>Setup</h2>\n<p>To start, give the larger or more powerful army 10 Force Tokens. Give the opposing army a proportional number of tokens. If one army has 10,000 warriors, for example, and the other has 7,000, give the smaller army seven tokens. These represent the troops, vehicles, ships, etc., in each side’s army.</p>\n<p>Adjust the ratio as makes sense to account for special or elite troops, better equipment, and so on. If one army is half as powerful as another, for example, give one side 10 Force Tokens and the other five. Get close enough to give a reasonable approximation of relative strength. The dice and the players’ actions will handle the rest.</p>\n<h2>Battle</h2>\n<p>At the start of each round, the player characters discuss and decide on their plan.</p>\n<p>Next comes opposed Battle rolls by the rival commanders.

Some things, such as @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Range]{ranged attacks}, have standard modifiers. It’s up to the GM to determine any modifiers for more subjective tasks, such as spotting an ambush or eavesdropping on a conversation through a door.</p>\n<p>In general, an easy task, such as finding tracks in the mud, is made at +2.
