Shadow of the Demon Lord - Forge Version
Shadow of the Demon Lord
This will be a basic ruleset for the fantasy RPG Shadow of the Demon Lord which can be found here: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product...the-Demon-Lord for about $19. You will need the Full Rules or at least the Players Guide.
This is not a working ruleset at this time. This is the very early stages of a ruleset and I need your help. I am not familiar with the game so I need interested parties to subscribe to the Forge entry and to give me feedback and guidance as I go.

This is a FGU only ruleset. It uses some features that are only available in FGU.

So initially I need feedback/direction on the following:
Feedback 001 Post
4 Attributes with two pieces of info - attribute score and attribute bonus
My understanding is that the Bonus is Attribute Score - 10. Please confirm.
My understanding is that Challenge Rolls are 1d20 + Attribute Bonus + Modifiers (including Boons/Banes). Please confirm.
At the moment is you double click Score it will do a Challenge Roll. Please test.
At the moment if you double click the Bonus it will add to the Modifier Stack. Please test.
At the moment if you edit the Score it will adjust the Bonus. I believe Bonus is always based on Score alone? Please confirm.

For the static part of the Character Sheet I have added the following fields:
Name
Level:
Size:
Ancestry:
Alignment:
Novice:
Expert:
Master:
Now apart from the alignment issues can you advise if:
Are these are the best fields?
Are there other fields that should be included?
For Novice/Expert/Master are they single line entries or can you have multiple entries in some/all?

Some other fields to consider:
Healing Rate (Usually 1/4 health, minimum 1) This can be different based on ancestry
Defense (Usually your agility score unless ancestry says otherwise)
Perception (Equals intellect score but can be increased by ancestry). Can have Challenges Rolls (CR) for perception. Works like other attributes for the CR.
Power (Most start with 0. Determines highest rank of spell you can cast)
Speed
For the paths, you can have multiple entries for expert path if you choose to take a second expert path instead of a master path at level 7
Also, I don't believe there is alignment in SotDL... Everyone is a bit corrupted...Last edited by Gwydion; October 5th, 2021 at 13:46.

These fields are coming - it was more about the top part of teh charsheet that is present on every page
Power (Most start with 0. Determines highest rank of spell you can cast)
Speed
For the paths, you can have multiple entries for expert path if you choose to take a second expert path instead of a master path at level 7
Also, I don't believe there is alignment in SotDL... Everyone is a bit corrupted...
You can have more than 1 Expert if you forgo a Master?
Can you have more than 2 Expert?
Aiiieeee - a charsheet I was looking at had alignment. A quick rulebook search suggests there is no alignment.
