THE RAT HACK (ALPHA)

A rendition of the 1974 “0e” Edition of the World’s Most Famous Fantasy Roleplaying Game ~ created by ~

DUSTIN RATLIFF ‡‡‡ ~ based on THE BLACK HACK by ~

DAVID BLACK ~ and the DYING IN A TOMB by ~

LUKE GEARING ‡‡‡ With elements borrowed from ‘original’ era RPG gaming and modern d20 theory.

THANKS TO Erin Ratliff, Brian Ruiz, Britni Ruiz, Ethan Moore, Nick Ortega, and all the giants of this hobby that we love.

WHAT’S THIS?

CHOOSE A RACE

The Rat Hack is a traditional tabletop roleplaying game hack, played with paper, pencils and dice - it uses the 1970’s Original Roleplaying Game as a base. It adds and removes elements to make it a distinct streamlined flavor of the original game.

There are 4 choices. Human, Dwarf, Elf, and Halfling - they determine what class you can take and how many levels you can reach. Most also have special abilities.

ROLLING STATS Stats are generated using 3d6 in the following order: Strength (STR), Dexterity (DEX), Wisdom (WIS), Intelligence (INT), Constitution (CON), and Charisma (CHA). Once all stats are generated any two may be swapped around.

THE CORE MECHANIC Everything a character might possibly attempt that could result in failure is resolved by testing attribute stats, in order to successfully test a stat - a player must roll below it. Monsters don’t make tests - a character must avoid their attacks, the only time a monster would roll is for damage.

ADVANTAGE & DISADVANTAGE

Humans can be any class, with a maximum level of 12. Dwarves can be Fighters or Clerics with a maximum level of 8, or Thieves with a maximum level of 12. Special Abilities: +4 bonus to saving throws versus magic; able to intuitively notice unusual stonework, traps, and new construction in underground settings; speak languages of dwarves, gnomes, kobolds and goblins; infravision (ability to see in the dark, based on heat). Elves can be Fighter/Magic-Users with a maximum level of 6, or Thieves with a maximum level of 12.

A DM may decide that a particular course of action or task has a higher or lower chance of success. They will ask a player to roll an additional d20 when making a test - with advantage the lower result is used and with disadvantage, the higher.

SAVING THROWS This game ignores these and has the player roll attribute tests when a creature must make a save or a spell, trap or effect would invoke a save - using the below as a guide. Remember the advice in the Powerful Creatures section. STR Physical Harm that cannot be dodged. INT Resisting Spells and Magic.

There is no reason that a player couldn’t play virtually any other type of creature that they choose, provided the character starts out rather weak and get stronger over time, subject to DM approval.

DEX Physical Harm that can be dodged. WIS

CON Poison, Disease, or Death. CHA

Deception and Illusions.

Charming effects.

Special Abilities: May choose to advance simultaneously as a Fighter and a MagicUsers and increase in level for both classes at the same time, needing the combined Experience Points for each to advance in level (e.g. 5000 to reach level 2); +2 to hit and damage goblins and orcs; can always notice secret/hidden doors; speak languages of elves, orcs, hobgoblins, and gnolls. Halflings can be Fighters with a maximum level of 6 or Thieves with a maximum level of 12. Special Abilities: +4 bonus to saving throws versus magic; +2 to hit and damage with slings and light bows; can nearly-completely blend into background with a Stealth check– this is an extraordinary ability above and beyond simply hiding in cover, which anyone can attempt to do.

CHOOSE A CLASS There are again 4 choices. Fighter, Thief, Cleric, Magic-User - they determine how much damage you do and your Hit Points.

ARMOR & WEAPON QUALITY

STEALTH

Armor and weapons come in 3 varieties: Poor, Normal, and Good. Poor equipment rerolls any maximum rolls. Normal equipment just rolls once. Good equipment rerolls minimum rolls.

Stealth works like a stat in that characters roll under it do perform stealthy actions, like sneaking up on an enemy. Stealth for every character, except Thieves, is equal to one-half their DEX score.

The prices listed assume poor equipment. 1.5x for Normal, 3x for Good.

LANGUAGES

If a character wears armor that is not listed in their class, they add their total Armor points (despite how many they have used) as a penalty to any rolls to Attack or Avoid Damage.

All character races speak the Common tongue. Each class also has a chance of being literate. Other intelligent beings speak their own languages (20% chance of also speaking Common). Beings with an INT over 10 may speak one additional language per point of INT over 10. They have a chance of being literate in these languages also.

WEAPON TYPES

TIME

ARMOR PROFICIENCY

Short weapons are, at most, slightly longer than your forearm. They are excellent for fighting in tight spaces, and grant a +1 stat bonus on initiative rolls. Long weapons attack at disadvantage in close quarters. Spear-like weapons do not suffer this penalty, and can be set to receive a charge, automatically dealing damage to an enemy charging someone in such a stance.

There are 2 important types of tracked time Moments (rounds) and Minutes (turns). Moments are used during combat and scenes of danger and Minutes are used when exploring or adventuring.

PLAYERS TURN

Weapons with reach can be used to attack without engaging in direct combat, such as from the second rank.

During a players turn a character may move and perform an action. They could attack, look for a clue, talk with an NPC, cast a spell - anything the character does to interact with the world is an action.

Weapons with halfsword can be wielded in a shortened form, dealing one die-size less damage but can be used in awkward conditions.

INITIATIVE & SURPRISE

“GOOD-AT” SKILL SYSTEM At character creation, roll 1d4+1 for the number of skills your character starts with. These are specific skills or trades your character is particularly knowledgeable in. They can be anything your DM allows, but make sure they are specific, i.e. carpentry or religious lore. Skills should not be useful in combat; use stat checks for that. Roll with advantage when attempting tasks relevant to these skills.

ALIGNMENT Lawful folk believe the universe is governed by orderly purpose, and that justice is among the most important values. Chaotic individuals believe that the universe is guided by blind entropy and randomness. 99% of normal people fall between these extremes and are Neutral.

When combat breaks out, everyone must be sorted into an order so they each get to act and react in turn. First the DM will determine which sides, if any, are surprised. At the beginning of an encounter, roll 1d6 for each side. On a roll of 1 or 2 a side is surprised and may not act at all in the first round. For initiative order, every character tests their WIS; those that succeed take their turn before their opponents, and they must then act as a group – deciding their own order for actions. Those that fail their WIS tests go after their opponents.

MOVEMENT & DISTANCE This game uses 4 abstract ranges for measuring distances. Close, Nearby, Far-Away, and Distant. On their turn every character can move into Nearby range as part of an action, performing that action at any stage of the move. They can forgo their action and move somewhere Far-Away instead. Anything beyond Far-Away can be classified as Distant. Use the following as a guide: CLOSE 0 – 5ft

NEARBY 5 – 60ft

FAR AWAY 60 – 120ft

ATTACKING & DEFENDING When a character attacks a creature they must roll below their STR stat for a Melee Attack or DEX for a Ranged attack. Likewise when a creature attacks, the character must roll below its DEX to avoid taking damage The damage an attack deals is based on the adventurer’s class or the number of HD a monster has. Fighters deal 1d8 if they have a weapon, 1d6 if they are improvising or unarmed. Thieves and Clerics deal 1d6 if they have a weapon, 1d4 if they are improvising or unarmed. Magic-Users deal 1d4 if they have a weapon, and 1 point if they are improvising or unarmed. Monsters deal damage based on their HD (refer to the table below). MONSTER HD 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

DAMAGE d4 d6 2d4 d10 d12 2d6 + 1 2d8 2d8 + 1 3d6 3d6 + 1

POWERFUL MONSTERS For every HD above the characters level, add +1 to every roll the player makes for attacks, defense, and spells - any attribute test that would impact the monster in any way.

A level 3 character defending against a HD 5 monsters attack would add +2 to their roll.

DEATH & DYING Avoid fights. They're messy and people die. Also, getting hurt makes adventuring a lot harder. At ½ HP, you take a -2 on all actions from pain, and -1 to damage rolls. At 0 HP, you are unconscious and dying. One body part has been severely damaged or destroyed, and you will require medical attention to stabilize. If unattended for 5 rounds, you die. If you recover, roll on the table below. At -3 HP you are completely dead. ROLL 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

DAMAGED BODY PART Foot - Lose 1 Dexterity Knee - Lose 1 Dexterity Thigh - Lose 1 Strength Groin - Lose 1 Charisma Stomach - Lose 1 Constitution Chest - Lose 1 Constitution Hand - Lose 1 Dexterity Arm - Lose 1 Strength Shoulder - Lose 1 Strength Throat - Lose 1 Constitution Face - Lose 1 Charisma Skull - Lose 1 Intelligence

Recovering the corpse of an ally allows their XP to be purchased in a silver-for-XP conversion. Money is spent on a funeral for the character. This XP is divided among surviving characters.

CRITICAL HITS If a player making an attack rolls a 1, they double the result of the damage dice they roll. If they roll a 20 when avoiding an attack, they take double damage. Armor is used as per normal.

HEALING Characters can gain Hit Points from Spells, Potions, and Abilities. They can never gain more than their maximum - and can never go below zero either. When healing a character who is out-of-action, just start at zero and count up. That character is now back on their feet and no-longer out-of-action.

RESTING

GAINING LEVELS

Once per day whilst resting a character may also roll a Hit Die associated with their class and regain that many Hit Points.

EXPERIENCE

When a character levels up, they may increase their maximum Hit Points by rolling all of their Hit Dice as indicated on the table for their class. If the result is higher than their previous total, they may keep it, otherwise they keep their old total.

The only XP gain for characters is from treasure and Expenditure (covered below). Use the value of all treasure recovered from dangerous locations and returned to civilization to determine total XP value, and then divide this between all surviving characters.

Also, a player will pick any one stat and add a single point to it, not to exceed a total of 20 in any stat. If they choose, they may also take a new skill instead of a stat point, though they must have some way of learning the skill, which requires taking time away from adventuring.

TREASURE

RANDOM ENCOUNTERS

Characters gain 1 experience point for every silver coin-worth of loot extracted from tombs and such and brought back to civilization.

EXPENDITURE After gain experience from bringing in treasure, characters can risk their hard-earned coin attempting to gain more. Expenditure is spending lots of money on activities not immediately useful. There are two varieties - Carousing and Research. Carousing is a big night on the town. The players should describe what they plan to get up to (drinking, whores, tattoos, drugs, etc.). In a village, you can spend d8 x 100 silver, and gain that much XP. Roll under your Constitution +2 to avoid consequences. In a town, you can spend d10 x100 silver, and gain that much XP. Roll under constitution to avoid consequences. In a city, you can spend d20 x100 silver, and gain that much XP. You'll always suffer consequences. Research is a less effective manner of gaining XP, but lacks consequences and has a small chance of being useful. It requires the character have access to a library. Spend d10 x 100 silver, and gain ½ of this amount spent as XP. Every 100 silver spent is a 5% chance to learn something useful. Before the next delve, roll below the total percentage to gain a question to be asked the DM. This question must be answered truthfully, but must also be something reasonably learnt whilst researching.

The DM should roll a d4 every 10 minutes of real world play (you are paying attention, right?) If the result is a 1-2 then the players will encounter a randomly generated creature or distraction the following turn.

CREATURE REACTIONS Some monsters and NPC’s will have predetermined personalities and goals that will guide a DM when choosing their actions and feeling towards the characters. Those that do not, such as randomly encountered creatures should roll 2d6 on the following: ROLL 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

REACTION Hostile. Will attempt to destroy the PC’s. Hostile. Call for Reinforcements. Hostile. Capture the PC’s. Hostile. Trick the PC’s (roll again). Uncertain. Avoid the PC’s entirely. Uncertain. Avoid eye contact. Uncertain. Beasts will flee then roll again. Friendly. Mistake the PC’s for friends. Friendly. Trade with the PC’s. Friendly. Give the PC’s aid. Friendly. Enthusiastic loyalty to the PC’s.

BANISHING UNDEAD Clerics can attempt to banish all Nearby undead as an action. They must successfully test their Wisdom for each creature they are attempting to banish, adding the creatures HD as a penalty to the roll. Undead monsters that are banished by Clerics must spend all their movement (and convert actions to movement) to move away from the Cleric for 2d4 Moments after being banished.

USAGE DICE

ENCUMBRANCE

Any item listed in the equipment section that has a usage die is considered a consumable, limited item. When that item is used the next turn its usage die is rolled. If the roll is 1-2 then the die is downgraded the next lower die in the following chain.

A character can carry a number of items equal to their STR with no issues. Carrying over this amount means they are encumbered and all attribute tests are taken with disadvantage - you can also only ever move to somewhere Nearby. They simply cannot carry more than their STR plus their CON.

D20 > D12 > D10 > D8 > D6 > D4 When you roll a 1-2 on a d4 the item is expended and the character has no more of it left.
