WELCOME TO MERTH!
Merth is a tabletop roleplaying game set in a high fantasy world. You can expect lots of fighting
and adventure to occur as you traverse through your game master's world. Merth attempts to take the
concepts introduced by other popular tabletops and improve on them to be easier to learn and more fun.

HOW TO PLAY
Merth is a tabletop roleplaying game. Like most games in the genre, Merth expects you to have
one game master who will create the world and guide your adventures. As a player, you must first
create your own character to play as before the game begins. Don't worry too much about how strong
your character is or what your personality is. The first session is meant to get you familiar with playing
as your character, interacting with the world and roleplaying with your group. Later releases of Merth
will come with a walk through that teaches you the rules of the game as you create your character, but
this version assumes you are familiar enough with tabletop games to create a character and play with
only a simple explanation of the rules.
Most rolls in Merth are done by rolling 2d6, or two six-sided dice. Rolling two 6s is considered
a critical success, and rolling two 1s is considered a critical failure. Because of this system, most rolls
require you to only roll 2 dice. Some rolls may only require 1 dice, in which case the roll can not
critically succeed or fail.
In non combat situations, a critical success means that if there is any conceivable way for you to
pass your check, then you pass, most likely in a spectacular fashion that brings other bonuses along
with it. A critical failure means you fail spectacularly. If it was a physical check, you most likely injure
yourself, and if it was a mental task then you most likely are convinced of something that is completely
wrong. Critical failures are handled by the game master.
In combat situations, a critical success means that you get to roll an extra d6 and add that to
your damage, healing, or whatever the roll was for. If that d6 is a 6, then you continue to roll and add to
your roll until you roll something other than a 6. A critical failure means your attack misses and instead
you reroll those dice, applying that damage to yourself OR play out the failure however your DM
describes it.
Combat
Combat typically assumes all participants are within striking distance of each other. Combat
plays out similarly to a turn-based video game in that regard, with terrain, location and positioning
typically providing nothing to the fight unless the DM rules otherwise.
1. Everyone in the fight rolls 2d6 + their initiative
2. Players take their turns in order of highest to lowest, ties are determined with a reroll.
3. Players can use one attack, one item, and as many Quick actions as they want on their turn.
Interrupt actions are used when an enemy or ally triggers it.
4. Attacks are generally determined by a roll of 2d6, or the result of 2d6 multiplied.
5. Damage is reduced by either armor or magic resistance, whichever the damage is against, and
then reduces HP by the remaining value.
Abilities and Spells
Most characters have a basic 2d6 damaging attack. This attack has no usage limit.
Abilities are special moves that a character can only use once per encounter.
Spells are special moves that are limited by your character's overall daily spell limit. A character can
only cast a number of spells per day equal to their daily spell limit, but they can choose to cast the same
spell multiple times.

Statistics
Strength and Dexterity are physical attributes. Your Strength modifier plus your Dexterity
modifier determines how many Ability Points you have. Ability points have two uses. When you
spend an ability point, you may either add a d6 to your attack roll or use an ability that you've already
used this encounter. Ability points refresh daily, after an extended rest.
Strength determines what armor you can wear. Strength also determines what physical skills
you can perform.
Dexterity modifier is added to your Initiative. You also add your Dexterity modifier to your AC
if you are wearing light armor, like cloth or leather.
Constitution increases your HP. Your constitution stat is added to your health every level.
When your constitution is raised, it retroactively increases your HP for past levels.
Intelligence and Wisdom are mental attributes. Your Intelligence plus your Wisdom modifier
determines how many Spell Points you have. Spell points determine how many spells you can cast per
day. Magic Resistance is also determined by your Intelligence plus your Wisdom modifier.
Luck stat (not your modifier) determines your total Luck points. Luck points can be spent to
reroll any number of dice from an undesirable roll in the hope of receiving a better outcome. Luck
points refresh daily.
Reaching 0 HP
When a player character reaches 0 HP, they are considered knocked out and can not act for the
rest of the battle unless an ally heals them. Healing an unconscious character only heals for half the
normal amount. When a character is unconscious, enemies will typically switch focus to the other
conscious targets. A character has to take all of their HP as damage again, while unconscious, in order
to die.

CHARACTER CREATION
1. Choose a race and class that you would like to play as. You get all of the modifiers listed on your
race, and everything marked as Level 1 for your class.
2. Determine stats. Characters have six stats: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom
and Luck. These stats affect both in and out of combat actions.
Strength lets you wear heavier armor, while Dexterity increases your armor while wearing
lighter armor. Str and Dex also add to your ability points, which let you hit harder or reuse an ability
that you already used that encounter.
Constitution directly increases your HP, which lets you take more hits.
Intelligence and Wisdom increases your magic resistance, letting you take less damage from
spells. Int and Wis also increases your spell points, allowing you to cast more spells per day.
Luck determines your Luck Points, which can be used to reroll bad rolls to try to get a better
outcome.
All classes benefit from all stats, so you can stat your character in any way you want.
There are several ways to roll stats.
Easy: Standard Array: 5, 5, 4, 4, 3, 2. Assign each of these numbers to a stat.
Point Buy: All stats begin at 0, and you get 24 points to use to raise your stats. The max a stat can be
raised to is 6, and raising a stat to 6 costs 2 extra points (8 total).
Rolling: Roll 4d6 and drop the lowest die. Add the remaining 3 die and then divide the result by 3,
rounding accordingly. Then apply those numbers to the stats of your choice.
Rounding chart:
17 or 18 = 6
14, 15 or 16 = 5
11, 12 or 13 = 4
8, 9 or 10 = 3
5, 6 or 7 = 2
3 or 4 = 1
Reduce your stats by 3 to determine your stat modifiers. Write these next to your stats. These
modifiers determine your ability points, spell points, skill bonuses, and almost everything else in the
game. The only calculations that use your stat instead of your stat modifier are how much extra HP you

gain from your constitution, what armor you can wear based on your Strength, and how many Luck
Points you have based on your Luck stat.
3. Determine HP. Your class determines how much health you start out with.
4. Calculate skills. Skills are listed in the skills section. Skills are modified by your stats and your race's
bonuses. Fill out your stat sheets with the stat's modifier, plus any bonuses your race gets to those
skills.
5. Determine defenses, initiative, and point pools. Armor is determined by your strength. Light armor,
such as cloth or leather, grants no bonuses but allows you to use your dexterity modifier as armor.
Heavier armor requires higher strength, but adds your strength modifier as armor. Simply choose to
wear light armor if you want to use your dexterity modifier, or heavy armor if you want to use your
strength modifier.
Magic resistance is equal to your intelligence and wisdom modifiers added together. Your
dexterity modifier determines your initiative. Your Ability points are determined by both your strength
and dexterity modifiers, and your Spell points (minimum 1) are determined by both your intelligence
and wisdom modifiers. Luck points are determined by your luck stat.
Once all of that is done, you can determine personality, weapons, features, etc. What specific
weapon or armor you use (aside from light or heavy armor) has no bearing on how your character
performs in or out of combat. This is merely for flavor purposes
NOTE: If you are more experienced with tabletops and want more customization options, it's
recommended that your group starts at level 2 by going to the leveling up section.

LEVELING UP
Leveling up to level 2 is when you get to customize your character. When you level up, you can
decide many things that personalizes and advances your character.
1. Choose if you would like to level up a different class or the same class. If you level up the same
class, then you learn that class's level 2 ability or spell, or whatever level ability and spell you advanced
the class to. You also gain your constitution stat as health.
If you want to level up a different class, then you learn that class's basic attack and your choice
of their level 1 encounter or level 1 ability. Instead of gaining your constitution stat as health, you
average the new class's base health with your health. Note: Multiclass characters and rules are mostly
untested, they are likely to undergo revision or even be removed.
2. Choose if you would like to be an Offensive or Defensive character. Offensive characters add their
total level to their damage rolls, while Defensive characters add twice their total level to their total
health.
3. Train in a skill, giving it +1.
4. Add 1 to a stat of your choice, and adjust stats as necessary.

SKILLS
Skills are how good your character is at certain tasks and are used to see if you succeed or fail at
something. Skill checks are done by rolling 2d6 and adding your skill modifier. Skills can be increased
by their related stat, or by receiving training in a skill. At the end of every session, the DM should
consider what skill checks you or the entire group made, and increase a skill by +1 if you or the group
did a specific check enough to learn from the experience. This skill list is subject to change in later
releases.

Diplomacy: making someone see your point of view or do what you tell them to

RACES
Merth is filled with different races of playable characters. These races all have different bonuses
to their ability scores, skill bonuses, and other racial traits. This version contains five races, but future
versions will contain up to twelve or more once these have been properly tested.
Geelos
These reptiles look like large bipedal desert horned lizards. Inhabitants of a fiercely hot desert,
geelos produce a chemical that bonds to the water in their body, allowing them to withstand and even
enjoy temperatures above the natural boiling point. Usually nocturnal, geelos spend their nights mining
deep in desert caves for crystals. Desert crystals are priceless to geelos, because they can be used to
build their crystal homes which amplify the heat of the sun. Even their attitudes can be hot-tempered;
They're quick to anger and will fight you for the closest spot to the fire.
Geelos can range from small, dextrous 4' tall creatures to hulking 8' tall powerhouses. Females
usually have a pinkish color pattern to their skin, while males have a dark red skin tone.
Ability scores
+1 Constitution, +1 Strength or +1 Dexterity. -1 Wisdom.
Skill Bonuses
+1 Endurance, +1 Dungeoneering.
Racial Benefits
Magical Aversion: +1 Magic Resistance, -1 Spell Point.
Seasoned Miner: +1 to checks made underground. You're used to the darkness.

Golems
Large animated clumps of land that were given life by The Spring's streams, these peaceful,
sturdy golems often roam together in bands. Once golems encounter another group of people, they
often integrate into their society and become healers, laborers or councilors for them. Most races
greatly respect golems and accept them with open arms. Golem adventurers are usually on a mission to
protect their people or to do good in the world. Some may be in search of a place that needs them, if
they haven't already found a home.
Golems are usually large, up to 12' tall, but the animated ground can be of any size and some
golems can be the size of Pincos.
Ability Scores
+1 Constitution, choose +1 Strength or +1 Wisdom. -1 Dexterity
Skill Bonuses
+1 Endurance, +1 Nature, +1 Heal
Racial Benefits
Magical Affinity: -1 Magic Resistance, +1 Spell Point.
Of The Earth: +3 total HP. You're pretty tough.

Humans
Humans do not have their own god, but they are fiercely religious to a fault. No one knows how
humans came to be, but they strive to be more devoted than anyone else because they feel vulnerable
without the protection of a god. Human adventurers try to embody their god's personality traits and
may try to spread their teachings.
Ability Scores
+1 to any one ability score
Skill Bonuses
+2 Religion, +1 to any one skill.
Racial Benefits
Protection of the Gods: When knocked out, if not dead, recover to 1 HP. Deal max damage on your
next attack if you don't take damage until then. This can only happen once per day.

Peclins
Amphibious goblins who dress in trash and rusted metal. The children of Mire, and a dark
contrast to Mira's pincos, these amphibious goblins see sin as what sets them apart from the other races.
Peclins encourage partaking in sinful behavior. Anger, pride, greed, laziness, lust, envy and gluttony are
all part of a peclin's life. Peclins own the sea and have little reason to leave it since their general
behavior isn't accepted on land. However, many peclins choose to adventure or live on land and accept
the hardships that it brings. Most peclins only know of the world above water from the shipwrecks and
trash thrown into the ocean. As a result, peclins have a strange eye for fashion, preferring moldy,
tattered clothing and rusted jewelry above all else. Peclins consider blemishes and stains to be special, a
way to stand out and be unique.
Peclins are slightly shorter than the average human. Adventurers tend to be foul-mouthed, rude,
and say anything that comes to mind. They'll stop at nothing to achieve what they want, even if it
involves more suffering than the end result is worth.
Ability Scores
+1 Dexterity, +1 Luck, -1 Wisdom
Skill Bonuses
+1 Bluff, +1 Intimidate, +1 Thievery
Racial Benefits
Magical Aversion: +1 Magic Resistance, -1 Spell Point.
Amphibious: Get +1 to any checks made underwater. You're used to the sea.

Pincos
Small creatures who resemble rough, unfinished wooden puppets. Pincos have no gender and
reproduce asexually, usually not knowing who their parent is. Pincos generally focus on learning and
mastering the magical arts. these wooden creatures are incredibly fragile, prone to sickness from any
sneeze or scrape. Their abnormally large noses only contribute to this. Magically and technologically
leagues ahead of the other races, most already left this planet in search of the Gods or other races on
distant planets. The stragglers left behind tend to be complete loners or are simply too attached to the
world to leave it.
Pincos are small, unobtrusive creatures, usually not even 3' tall. While they have no gender or
understanding of sexual desire, Pincos may adopt a gender they relate to in order to better relate with
gendered races.
Ability Scores
+1 Intellect, +1 Wisdom, -1 Constitution
Skill Bonuses
+1 Arcana, +1 History, +1 Nature
Racial Benefits
Magical Affinity: -1 Magic Resistance, +1 Spell Point

golems.
Mire, God of Sins
Mire is Mira's brother and is prone to avarice, wrath, sloth, pride, lust, envy and gluttony. Mire created
the peclins when he saw how Mira had flooded most of the world with water, yet created creatures who
cannot survive underwater. Peclins worship him as the embodiment of everything they believe in.
Raylor, God of Sun
Raylor is also the god of weather, and light. Raylor is the creator of the Geelos.
Djeek, God of Commerce
He is also the god of travel, honesty and skillful creation. See the world and make your mark on it.
Unnamed, God of Fighting
Also the god of honor in battle.

ENEMIES
The world of Merth is full of enemies to fight. This section contains a few examples of common
enemies for the DM to use, as well as suggested encounters. Enemies typically work differently than
player characters. Enemies get no ability or luck points, and they get more limited attacks to make
enemy turns fast and simple. Stats and points are altered from their original calculations to highlight the
advantages and disadvantages of the enemy. Enemies also die when they're knocked to 0 health, instead
of being knocked unconscious.
Encounters are based on an average of 4 people per party. To scale lower level encounters, add 1
damage per level you want to scale it to
