The creation of a character within Moros takes a couple of steps.
Think out the concept of the character.
Choose the race and distribute background points.
Decide about dividing experience along the abilities.
Choose the social contacts and possessions.
Before is it possible to make the different decisions that come with the shaping of a character it is vital to have a good image of it. Many of these decisions will not make much difference to the success of the actions of the character but affect the position and ideas of the character.
The concept includes the race, looks, ideas and name of the character. A good way to determine the concept is to choose a favourite personality of a book or a movie and to adjust this idea into a character with it's own motivations. Not all of the character must be determined before playing; it has to develop during the play in reaction to the game world. Than it will be a person within this world and not just an observer from outside.

The powers (with a *) cost double in background points and in experience points.
Sometimes it can seem dull to play the ordinary human but look at it like this. In most faery-tales the hero's are not the ordinary humans but human non the less. Normal humans have a mental defence of 1.
The dwarves live most of their lives under mountains inside their cities and mines. But it is known that some of them walk out into the world. This can have any reason like the recovery of an artefact or the seek out new opportunities or simply for trade. Dwarfs always have a mental defence of 2 and have a exceptionally good sight in the dark. Because of their shorter legs they get 2 points less movement.
The elves are better then the other races in the background options. So to compensate a little bit they start 8 experience points behind the others. Elves have also a good sight in the dark and have a shining aura. This means they are very effective against undead creatures. Their mental defence is normally not high (1).
These little people get not much attention of the other races they go their own ways but sometimes a halfling walks out into the world. Those ones are noted for their exceptional mental defence (2). The halflings cannot walk very fast with 3 points less movement.
Every character has grown up in a social situation with inherited talents and opportunities to learn. This is reflected in the background options.
The minimum level in the background options is determined by the race of the character. Also the player can use 7 background points to increase them to a maximum of 3 levels above the race level. This determines that for example halflings are less muscular than dwarfs. But nevertheless an extremely strong halfling (strength 3) can be a little bit stronger than a weak dwarf (with the racial minimum strength of 2).
At the start of the game a character already had the chance to
learn in skills and powers apart from it's background. Characters
start with 15 experience points.
The skills and talents of a
character start at the level of the corresponding background option.
From there they can be increased at cost of experience points. The
cost to increase any ability is the current level in experience
points. When the character has no level in an ability, the cost of
the first level is 2.
There are only 6 different skills in this game. To provide enough detail the skills have specialisation's apart from the basic skill. These specialisation's must be learned separately but are restricted by the level of the basic skill. Just as the basic skill, the specialisation's are starting at the level of the corresponding background option. Every point of experience put into a skill gives an extra specialisation point. This can be used to increase one specialisation of that skill.
You can also save 5 points to specialise in a specific specialisation so it can be increased 1 level higher than the level of the basic skill. With an extra 10 points it can be 2 levels higher. For another 15 points it can be 3 levels higher, but this is only sensible after spending an awfully lot of experience points in this single skill (about 40 points).
Bertrand is a young man with a very good agility of 3. Because he is human he starts with a agility of 1 but he bought the extra levels for 2 background points.
For 3 initial experience points he gained the basic level of 4 in the skill Gymnastics. During playing he learned level 5 for 4 experience points.
With learning in the skill he has gained totally 7 specialisation points. With 2 of them he has learned Climbing to level 5. Unable to increase the Climbing ability higher than the basic skill he has spend the rest of the specialisation points in the other specialisation's of Gymnastics (2 in Tumbling, 2 in Juggling and 1 in Sneaking).
When the player wouldn't be interested in those he could have spend the 5 remaining specialisation points in specialising into Climbing. Then he could have an ability of level 6 after spending only 1 extra point of experience (only a specialisation point and no increase to the basic skill yet). But in that case all the other specialisation's would still be 3.
The meaning of this game is not the winning of it but only in the fun of playing it.
The game leader is always right, even if every line in these rules seams to point out the opposite.
The player of a character decides the actions of a character but he or she doesn't decide if those actions work out well or not. If there is any doubt by the game leader about an action than the player should roll dice to see if the character succeeds.
The level of skill of the character determines the amount of dice that must be rolled.
As an example in these rules I will introduce a character named Bertrand. He is a young man with a good training in climbing. He has a skill of 5 in it. When the player decides that Bertrand climbs over a wall a night the player can roll 5 dice.
Every die rolled with as a result a 4 or higher counts as extra success of the action. The action goes more smoothly when having more success.
When the mentioned wall is high and smooth the game leader can state that the climbing of it is a difficult action. Under those circumstances the player must throw more than one successful die for the climbing to succeed. When an action is nearly impossible the game leader is allowed to expect a triple success before the action works well.
In case of an old wall with lots of cracks and firm stone to stand on the action is easy and even if the player throws no successes the action in itself is still a success.
When a player is allowed to throws more than 4 dices it is possible to subtract 2 dice from the roll and let those count as 1 successful die.
The player of Bertrand is allowed to throw only 3 dice and with that the climbing has a very low change to be a failure.
When the roll ends up lower than the difficulty of it, the action it is not normally unsuccessful but ends with problems.
During the climbing Bertrand slips and falls to the ground with a lot of noise. Now there is nothing left of his romantic plans with the nice young lady he met during the day. Her father releases the dogs to prevent any more intrusions during that night.
When the player wants to retry an unsuccessful action it becomes one step more difficult to perform.
The next night Bertrand stands outside the wall again but now noticed the wet moss on the wall that hindered climbing a lot. The player should throw more than one success with 3 dice, that is a bit too much to pull, Bertrand decides that this lady is out of reach.
If there is a change in circumstances the extra difficulty can cease to exist. The next time Bertrand is in the same village is was dry for a long time and the wall is now not especially hard to climb anymore.
During the play moments arise when a lot of things happen at the same time. Now the game leader decides to use the system of rounds. Those rounds focus on the action in slices of about 10 seconds of time. Now the players can one by one state what their character will try to do. The best system is to handle the different players in clockwise order as they sit around the table.
The walking speed is 6 plus the strength of the character. This is the number of tiles (about 1½ meter distance) a character can walk in a round of time.
Bertrand has a strength of 2 so his walking speed is 8.
To make an attack costs a point of walking. Every round a character can make one attack. When the player chooses to delay the attack it is possible to attack at the moment a foe comes within reach. The character or enemy with still the most walking speed left will be the first to attack.
With a lot of gear it is harder to react and move. Every item has encumbrance-points; those points are related to the weight but also to the measure of constraint an item gives to the bearer. When using items like a backpack it is possible to move a lot of gear without many problems.
The first two encumbrance points have no effect. But each two extra encumbrance points will lower the walking speed. And each one will lower the agility of the character. This means that the gymnastics skill will rapidly decline when holding heavy items or when wearing harnesses.
Because Bertrand is not a very good fighter it is necessary for him to get away when it gets tough. He does not carry a lot of goods with him. Most of his things are packed onto his horse.
Walking
At the cost of a movement point the character can move to one of the three tiles in the front. In the same movement it is possible to turn a quarter turn. When there is no smooth floor as with stairs or with an obstacle the cost of moving a tile is double.
Attack/parry
To attack or to parry cost a point of movement. It is possible to turn a quarter turn during this action and so face a foe that comes from the left or right and parry them directly.
Melee
When a character is in front of a fighting enemy moving or turning costs one point extra per enemy. This is because of the attention spend to the moves of those enemies. With the tumbling specialisation in the skill gymnastics it is possible to overcome the extra movement spend in melee. Still it is very hard for a character to make the right moves and decisions when faced with the wild moves of a group of enemies.
Running
While running the character can run twice his walking speed. But now it is not possible to do anything this round except running and it is only possible to make one single quarter turn.
Turning
On the expense of one point of swiftness the character can turn to any desired direction. At the same time it is possible to quickly look around corners without stepping round them. Without turning a character can only see the tiles in from of him or her. But it is still possible to dodge the attacks from the left or the right.
Step aside or backwards
A character can step to any tile next or behind him at the cost of 2 movement points.
The skill in a weapon gets evenly divided between attack and defence. The odd points go to the attack and the even points to the defence.
The weapon a character uses has a great effect the style some are more defensive and some have a more offensive style. Blunt weapons are better in the hands of a very strong person. As an exception there is no skill roll in the attacks. Only the defender rolls dice to see if the attack fails or not.
A character can attack a person right in front normally and has a minus one attack across a diagonal. Some weapons have a longer reach so they give the same attack across a diagonal. Some weapons like the halberd and whip can even reach right over one tile.
First de armour value of the harness of the defender is subtracted from the attack. Then it is decided if the character can parry or dodge the attack and together with eventually extra defence of the harness this determines the amount of dice.
To parry the attack must come from one of the tiles directly in front of the defender or the defender must turn. The parry costs a point of movement. When an attack is seen it can also be dodged. But when the ranged weapon is fired from more than 10 tiles away it is too far away to dodge. The dodge score is gained from the tumbling specialisation with acrobatics so it is almost impossible to dodge when wearing a heavy weapon, shield and harness.
When the defence is not enough to stop the total attack the character gets a wound. After obtaining 3 hit points the character get a penalty of 1 on every action or roll. Every character has 5 hit points and when those are gone the character collapses and is not able to do anything that requires attention or muscle. When the character still gets another 5 points of damage he of she dies.
A wound of 3 or more points bleeds one hit point extra every 3 rounds till it is bandaged.
A character with more than 5 hit points of damage get another hit point of damage every day so special treatment and rest is necessary to survive.
Some weapons are balanced so they can be thrown and still be effective. The throwing speciality gives the maximum skill in the weapon when throwing it. All the range attacks like throwing and firing arrows are less effective on longer distances. The attack is one die less for every time the distance is longer than the range given with those weapons.
With a good appearance people will notice you quicker. With every two points of appearance people you get a dice bonus to a fast talk role.
The mental defence together with the loyalty of a character is the difficulty of the seduction rolls.
Distract someone
This is only possible from a female towards a male. With each success on this role the male loses 2 time points. When the male hasn't enough points lets in this round it is subtracted from the next one.
Seduce someone
Get in two hours time a promise or information of someone. It is also possible to use this skill to allure someone, see this power for the details about it.
Impress someone
Make a normal action with extra show so the opponent will be impressed. This takes an extra movement point to perform. When the opponent has a higher ability than the character he adds the difference to his defence to the bluff. An opponent will refuse to go on with the useless action till he is convinced by someone to go on or if he has no other option than to go on with the action.
The level in which the character notices that someone tries to make him or her believes something.
The art of using speech to get something done. When someone is of a different culture or doesn't speak the same language this is a hard skill.
Fast talk
When the person is not a friend this doesn't have a very long lasting effect. This skill can be used to allure somebody for details see this power.
Cryptic message
Give a message to someone in a way that no other person will get the real meaning of it except the intended person.
Storytelling
This is normally a hard skill when the public isn't in the mood but when there is special news this doesn't apply. It is also possible to use this skill to allure the public. See the power allure for details.
People with status will be recognised easier than normal people. It adds up to the social network when trying to find an acquaintance.
After two months of training together the army can build up group spirit. This results in more smooth working together and loyalty towards the group. This skill only works with groups of minimal 60 people. The level of the group can be raised with a successful roll of the leader with the difficulty of the current level of the group. When more than 20 percent of the group changes the level of the group becomes one less. The next table gives the various bonuses that can be obtained from the group spirit; the bonuses all add up.

This is the general education the character has received during the childhood.
In principle the game-leader does the roles against knowledge so the player won't notice the possible blunder which can produce misinformation.
Research
Try to find out related knowledge about something. This will hopefully tell you if something is true or not. The character has to be in a place like a big city where lots of information can be found. So this will not work in the middle of the desert. The research action will work with all of the following specialisation's of knowledge but when none of them is suitable research works with the level of education.
Determine quality
This skill is used to find out the general worth of something.
The points in this skill can be distributed between different languages. The own language is always understood for 3 points. Similar languages get a bonus (skill -1 is a dialect and skill -2 is a neighbour language).
Talk in language
With 4 points all the words in a language are understood and the language is spoken without false intonations.
Writing
When 1 point is spend in the own language the character is also able to write that language.
Works in the same way as the languages skill but now it is the general knowledge of the history. This makes it easier to search for facts and to know the likelihood of facts.
Works in the same way as the languages skill. Knowledge of the cities and special places but also of customs so it won't be a problem to travel through those countries.
Map drawing
When a point of geography is spend in map drawing the player is able to make a good map of situations.
Works the same way as the languages skill. This is knowledge of the deities of a religion and their symbols and special rites.
Sometimes it is necessary for a power to work to make a theology roll for the specific deity who is a source of that power.
Herb lore provides information about the creation of all kinds of potions and salves. See the item list for the known potions and the difficulty to fabricate them.
Potion creation
There are poisons and love-potions but all of them are results of hard labour.
Herb lore
The ability to find herbs inside a parcel of land. In some more desolate terrain's this is a hard skill but in the desert it is double hard. Most of the herbs found can be used for food but some are useful for medical treatment or for poisons. When a specific potion is made it is necessary to go to the specific terrain to find the herbs.
Food conservation
Every culture has it's own ways to conserve food.
Poison detection
This skill can be used to inspect food for poisons or for normal degradation. When special poisons are used multiple successes are needed to find the special deceptive ones.
This is the measure of how open the character is for signals of other humans or animals.
This skill is useful for the general support of people. With this skill people can work together in a much more effective way than without this speciality. With each success on a support role the character can help someone else one level more effective. The normal co-operation rules apply but the skill of the supporter is never higher than the skill of the person who is supported. When a group works together the maximum is the same as the highest skill in the group.
Driving and handling the different kind of animals. The particular animals are learned in the same way as different languages. At least a 3 in this skill is needed for the proper treatment of the animals. There are only rolls for this skill if the horse gets into tense situations and when starting to gallop.
Horseback fighting
This skill is the limitation to the weapon skill of the driver when using a weapon from the back of a horse.
Bandage wounds
After bandaging a character is able to move again even if it has less than zero points of endurance. With a double success the character will immediately get a point back.
This lowers also the chances of infection of the wound.
Aid
This skill check is needed when people are healing and cannot find the time to rest that day. With 2 successes and rest the character will even get 2 points of endurance back in one day.
This is the ability to train people and animals.
Animals
After a month of training an animal learns to listen to what the driver wants of them. Every success above one adds to the skill of the driver, it is easier to drive a well-trained animal. This ability also applies for all kinds of hunting animals like dogs and falcons.
Military drill
Teach skills
Give education
Give children their initial education.
This ability is about what a person can create with limited tools and materials. It is useful for the improvisation of a raft or a temporary bridge across a river.
Create tools & weapons
Create tools of iron and steel. Normally in a month a total set of tools are made like a woodworking set or the tools for a smithy. More easy weapons like daggers and spears can be made in a week time.
Generally the cost of the item divided by 200 ducats is subtracted from the skill.
Repair
Not everything can be repaired but a good workman doesn't have to throw away al lot of weapons or tools.
Inspection
Inspect the quality of an item.
Used for all kind of woodwork like building houses and fences.
Create furniture
Make a door, chair, chest or wardrobe. Also used for all kind of musical instruments, but those take more time to build.
Clothing/ harness
Make buildings
Tunnelling
Building inspection
Search secrets
Quick search
Build traps
Build secrets
Creating a lock
Picklock
This is the how much a character can bend into strange angles in order to escape through narrow passages or out of bonding.
Every weight penalty to swiftness also gives the same penalty to the Gymnastics skill and all the specialisation of it. It is important for a person to have absolute free movements to perform the actions of this skill.
Throwing attack
The level in the weapon is limited to this skill when the weapon is thrown, see the weapons specialisation's for details about throwing distances and the attack rolls.
Catch
This is a double hard skill for caching thrown weapons.
Show
To perform a juggling show, with more than 2 successes the show is really worth it. This is normally not good enough to earn a living. Only a complete show can bring in enough money but for that more skills are necessary.
Wall climbing
Climb up a wall or climb 5 metres onto a rock-face.
With a lot of successes it will take less time to perform. A particular smooth or wet wall will result in a difficult action.
Every success on a support roll of an assisting climber is able to raise the climbing skill up to the level of the skill of the supporter.
Grip
Grip something quickly when falling. The strength of a character is added to this skill. It is difficult when the character is already on a high falling speed. The thing that is grabbed must be strong enough and easy to grab, if not the roll will be even more difficult.
Rope walking
To walk on a rope is difficult but walking on a thin wall is a normal skill roll.
Silent movement
Move like a shadow. This is difficult in a place with a lot of things on the ground like a forest. It is possible to move quickly and silently but that is more difficult.
Hiding
When people are especially searching for someone this is a difficult action. But when it is dark it makes the action easier.
Pickpocket
When walking around a marketplace it costs an hour to collect purses of money. The loot will vary with the riches of the town. A normal town will provide the successes in ducats. A very rich city provides 5 ducats with each success. When robbing a particular person it takes a round of time but that is always a difficult action and even more difficult when the person is alarmed by the sight of the character.
Far jumping
Every tile longer than 2 is more difficult. To jump one tile is easy. It is a difficult action when standing still.
Easy landing
With this skill a character can prevent the round of time it normally costs when standing up after falling. This skill is hard when the character has fallen more than 1½ metres.
Save falling
This is defence against possible falling damage. The damage is one attack dice per halve a metre falling distance. When falling in a controlled manner the skill is easy.
Evade attacks
This is the standard defence a character gains when seeing an attack coming. This only applies for attacks from the front or out of one of the 2 tiles to the side of the character. This speciality divided by 2 is the number of extra defence dice for the character.
Evade mêlée
This skill can be used to evade the extra movement costs when standing in front of enemies. The number of enemies is subtracted from the level of the skill and a success gives the character the normal movement cost.
This is the skill to fight with two weapons. The skill in the off-hand weapon is limited to this skill.
The general skill for detecting an enemy or friend on long range. This skill can also be used when someone has to react directly in a new situation. Without success the person spends a round to grasp the situation, it roll is not needed when a character wants to flee the new situation.

Hunting bow |
E1 A0 R5 |
Aim 1, Two hands, Narrow places, From horse |
The normal bow, slightly less accurate than the long bow but it can be used from a horse, which makes this a very good weapon. |
|
Long bow |
E2 A0 R6 |
Strength 4, Aim 2, Two hands |
The English army has won a lot of victories over the French by using a large group of bowmen against an overwhelming army with cavalry. |
|
Sling |
E1 A0 R4 |
Aim 1, Two hands |
This is a simple, cheap and effective weapon. |
|
Crossbow |
E4 A2 R5 |
Aim 2, Two hands, Narrow places |
The most complicated of bows, very deadly but slow to reload. It take an extra round to reload unless the wielder has a strength of 4. |
|
Blowpipe |
E½ A-2 R3 |
Aim 1, Ammo 20, Two hands, Narrow places. |
Often used with poison, but this weapon is not very useful without it. |
|
Dart |
A-2 R1 |
Ammo 20, Narrow places. |
Mostly a game in a bar, but it can also be used as a weapon. |
Ranged weapon options:
|
E - encumbrance |
This weapon gives this amount of encumbrance for the wielder. |
|
A - attack |
The bonus or penalty to the attack with this weapon. |
|
R - range |
The number of tiles that will lower the attack of this weapon by one. |
|
Strength # |
When the wielder of this weapon as a strength of at least # this weapon will give one point extra attack. |
|
Aim # |
The number of rounds that this weapon can be aimed for one extra attack per round. |
|
Two hands |
This weapon needs the use of both hands so the other is not usable for another weapon or a shield. |
|
From horse |
This weapon can be used from a horseback but the skill is then limited to the riding skill. |
|
Narrow places |
There is no penalty of 2 when using this weapon is a narrow place like the opening of a door. |
Raw strength is needed when, for example, forcing a door with a shoulder.
This is everything from wrestling to scratching and biting. The use of only one hand gives one dice less attack. And without de use of hands this gives a two dice less attack.
|
Grab a person |
Attack an opponent by grabbing him or her. The defence is a brawling and tumble roll of the opponent. It is also possible to defence against a brawling attack with the parry of a weapon and the tumble but the armour is no help at all. |
|
Get a firm hold |
It takes another brawling attack to get a firm hold on an opponent. This makes every roll for this opponent hard to make. The opponent can parry this with successes on a brawling roll. |
|
Get loose |
After being grabbed a person can get loose by succeeding a brawling roll against the opponent. The attacker can parry this with the own brawling skill. |
|
Move someone |
With a normal succeeding brawling attack it is possible to move an opponent into a desired direction. When the opponent gets loose in the same round the opponent can choose that the movement wasn't successful. |
|
Choking |
A weapon attack possible with the brawling specialisation. It is possible to use a dagger but brawling is hard when wielding a dagger. |
|
Fist fighting |
A-1 D0 |
Strength 5, Two hands, Narrow places |
This is not an efficient way of fighting but strong people cannot be taken in a bar very easy. |
|
Choking |
A1 D0 |
Two hands, Narrow places |
This attack is only possible after grabbing a person with brawling. The defence of this attack is only useful against other choking attacks. |
|
Dagger |
E¼ A0 R2 |
Narrow places, Useful when brawling |
A perfect weapon for agile persons. It is sometimes used with both hands or in the combination with a short sword. |
|
Whip |
E2 A-1 |
Reach across a tile |
The whip is not a very common weapon, but when the wielder can stay away from his target no one is save. |
|
Short sword |
E1 A0 D1 |
Narrow places |
This weapon must not be underestimated. When used in skilled hands is it one of the most effective weapons, light and quick to strike. |
|
Staff |
E2 A-1 D2 |
Strength 4, Two hands |
The defence of this weapon is so great that many skilled knights recall the encounter with that peasant with a stick in his hands. For a long time the staff was used as a training weapon for would-be claymore fighters. |
|
Spear |
E2 A0 D0 R3 |
Reach diagonal, Narrow places, Set vs Charge |
The spear is ideal when fighting with a group of soldiers. Because of the slightly longer reach of the weapon it is much easier to strike at a target without walking a lot. |
|
Long spear |
E3 A0 D0 |
Reach diagonal, From horse, Charge, Set vs Charge |
This is a weapon normally used from a horse. The tournament lance is a bit more effective (+1 to damage), but this weapon is also usable without a horse. |
|
Axe |
E1 A1 R2 |
Narrow places, From horse, Hard charge |
This is not only an effective weapon but it can also be thrown. The Indians used their own version of this weapon, the tomahawk. This is probably the most versatile weapon in the list but is not useful for parrying. |
|
Mace |
E2 A0 D0 |
Strength 4, From horse, Hard charge |
This is the most common weapon under the soldiers, not as expensive or good as the swords but very effective in the hands of a strong man. |
|
Broadsword |
E2 A1 D0 |
From horse, Hard charge |
The normal sword, it is build in a long range from crude ones to the lighter and much more advanced long-swords (the same weapon but light and +1 on skill). |
|
Claymore |
E3 A1 D1 |
Reach diagonal, Two hands |
The so called great-sword of the Scots. This weapon has the highest attack when the wielder is skilled in it. But it is a little bit slower and heavier than the normal broadsword. |
|
Battle axe |
E3 A2 D-1 |
Two hands |
The weapon for the fighter without hesitation, it is not possible to combine it with a good defence but when neglecting the defence this weapon is very deadly. |
|
Halberd |
E4 A2 D1 |
Reach across tile, Two hands |
This is the ultimate weapon of the late middle ages. It is very deadly in the hands of a group of guards. But the weapon is not very practical on a journey or and the weapon is too clumsy for the serious fighter. |
Weapon options:
|
E - encumbrance |
This weapon gives this amount of encumbrance for the wielder. |
|
A - attack |
The bonus or penalty to the attack with this weapon. |
