Capabilities
There are no archetypal roles in Brigand. Characters are defined by their capabilities, allowing the players to determine how they function and develop in order to realize a plethora of concepts. These capabilities represent a character’s capacity to perform actions, and each capability includes a specific type of activity.
Capability Progression
Capabilities are made up of progression stages, and these stages determine a character’s prowess when performing related actions. A character can be competent, proficient, or deficient in a capability, and proficiency and deficiency come in up to three stages: minor, moderate, and major.
Dice Mechanics
When a character performs an action, the player is required to carry out a relevant capability check. These checks are resolved by rolling three six-sided dice (3D6), along with up to three additional dice due to capabilities or circumstance. The additional dice alter outcomes by swapping results with the original three, either raising numbers through fortune or lowering them through misfortune.
Talents
When a character is proficient in a capability, they may acquire talents unique to that capability. Talents represent a variety of traits that provide improvements to prowess or versatility, or unique and specific actions.
Round Resolution
Actions performed during a round occur simultaneously, and are resolved in structured stages rather than individual turns. There are five stages in a round: the opening stage, the range stage, the reach stage, the movement stage, and the closing stage.
Introduction Scenario
In the early light of the morning, strangers arrive at a small and isolated village. Soon after, violence erupts. These strangers slay two villagers, set fire to the smithy, and abduct the blacksmith, demanding that he take them to a seemingly unsuspecting hill in the nearby highlands. Unbeknownst to the villagers, but known to these brigands, the hill is an ancient barrow, once raised over a war chief from a bygone age. The brigands seek the location for its treasure, but their intrusion disturbs the ancient forces interred there.
A man may think he acts of his own will, only to be moved by something other than himself.
The Introduction Edition also includes worldbuilding information. The game master can choose to use this information in order to expand upon the provided scenario or to create their own.
