    Introduction

    Being a NarratorWelcome to the Narrator Tome. If you are reading this then

    you have chosen to take up the role as the Narrator. As a

    Narrator, it is your responsibility to make sure rules are

    enforced and to make sure that everyone is focused on

    playing the game and having fun. The game is very strict

    and therefore as a narrator you must make sure rules are

    not broken no matter how upsetting they may be to the

    player. Paridine is a deadly gritty game. Players may die in

    very unheroic ways. That is the way its meant to be.

    Your Job as a narrator is to tell the players what they see

    and explain their environment as best as you can. You will

    also roll dice for the monsters, and explain what the

    monsters do.

    As a Narrator you have to follow certain rules...1. Never fudge dice rolls. Try to keep your die rolls

    visible to the party.

    2. Never let what you want to happen, make you steer

    the party unfairly.

    3. Dont hint at anything and never meta-play the

    dungeon. It subtracts from the experience.

    4. When creating content, always balance risk vs. reward.

    Giving players too much power will unbalance the

    game.

    5. Never put the characters in a no win scenario.

    6. Never allow a player(s) to make decisions for other

    players.

    7. Always make sense of the random. Paridine is veryrandom, and its up to you to piece together to random

    events into a reasonable explanation. This will work

    with simple things like people finding a dead body on

    Movement Roll and the next players roll he finds a

    random weapon. It is OK to assume that the weapon

    and things found in this area belonged to that dead

    person.

    This Tome is not complete yet, but I will be constructing

    the most essential rules with minimal fluff into this book so

    you can start leading your group into the dungeons.

    Please check the site regularly for updated tomes with newand updates rules.

    Starting the GameWhen starting an adventure its best to have some idea of a

    quest. It can be one of your own creation or one rolled from

    the random quest chart. Once you have the idea of the

    quest, rewards and where you want the characters to start,

    you can start narrating the game.

    Make sure you do the following at the beginning of each

    game.

    1. Have a peace of paper or white board to record

    players speeds or order of turn and a place to write

    stats for the encounters.

    2. Possess at least 2 sets of RPG dice.

    3. If the party is in a major city and wants shop then roll

    a random demeanor from the Shop Merchant

    Demeanor chart.

    4. If the party is in a major city, have a random partymember roll against the Bounty Board chart for their

    bounty for this quest.

    5. Make sure you facilitate any characters shopping

    transactions and experience purchases.

    6. Keep in mind each class and alignment of all the party

    members as they may be crucial later in the game

    session.

    7. Best to roll randomly to see what character can roll

    first to start the adventure.

    8. The characters should leave a major city and use the

    Over land movement when possible.

    9. Once the party is in a dungeon or a localized region

    you may have them roll on the dungeon movementchart.

    10. The adventure continues as each player takes turns

    rolling a random event on the movement chart and

    resolving each event in order.

    Shop Merchant DemeanorEvery time the party goes to town (usable only once every 6 hours of game play) ; the narrator can roll a 1d20 to determine

    the demeanor of the merchant for that day. This adds a bit of flavor and personality to the town store, and can also effect the

    price of certain items to certain characters. This roll will pertain to every character in the party.

    Merchant Demeanor is rolled when ever a party goes to a Shop or any kind and the demeanor will impact any shop for

    that town.

    Merchants items are securely stored in various magical ways, killing a merchant for his items would not work, orstealing from them is almost impossible.

    If merchant is attacked or killed, city guards are notified. Party will encounter 4+1d10 knights before leaving town.

    Running EncountersAs a narrator, you will be rolling the dice and controlling

    the actions of the monsters and encounters in the game of

    Paridine. The next few sections in this book will give you

    information you need to make sure you control the

    monsters and encounter successfully. There are a few key

    things you must understand as a Narrator when you arerunning a combat or battle between monsters and players.

    Those are as follows:

    1. Trust in the dice: Let the odds of the mechanics work

    out the causality of the event. Do not fudge or lie

    about the rolls.

    2. Stay unbiased. You may get urges to single out

    members in the party or want the fight to play out a

    certain way. This does not always happen. Admire the

    fight breakdown as it unfolds.

    3. It is okay to playfully root for the monsters in a way to

    stir up the players desires to beat them. It adds flavor

    at times.

    4. Stay focused on keeping the fight moving forward, try

    not to get tied up in small talk or let the party get to

    distracted if any of them seem bored.

    5. Monsters will do what is most logical to their nature.

    See Monster Behavior lists below for more

    information.

    6. Never get upset if monsters seem to die too easy. In

    the world of Paridine bad luck works both ways.

    7. If you create custom encounters or dungeons. Keep

    the risks high with high rewards.

    8. Paridine promotes competition among players. If you

    create content on your own, only throw a few greatitems at them. Party battles are not uncommon in

    Paridine.

    Each monster has a full page dedicated to them. There is

    also template in this book you can use to create more

    monsters on your own. On the monster page you will notice

    that it will tell you the difficulty of the monster, the lore

    and all the monsters basic stats. It will also show an attack

    chart on the right. The attach chart is a probability based

    chart. In almost all cases there are 11 different attach slots

    for monsters. A roll of a 2d6 is used to determine what

    action that monster does.

    Behavior Breakdown1. Roll how many actions they have (if they have more

    than 2)

    2. Target a player for for that action/turn

    3. Move to or away from the target based on your

    behavior.

    Monster Type BehaviorMonsters behave a certain way, and their behavior in battle

    is based on their situations. This is a simple priority list that

    can give you an idea of how monsters will behave in certain

    ways. You will want to follow this recipe for almost all

    monsters unless specified on the monster sheet.

    Melee Monsters (Small - Greater Size Class)

    1. Will engage the closest player character.

    2. When attacking they choose their available target at

    the top of their turn and then stays on that target with

    any remaining melee attacks.

    3. They will first attack targets that are engaged follow

    by the targets that are +1 range away from them.

    4. If a melee monster does a ranged attack after he

    targets a player character. He can use that ranged

    attack on anyone that is in range.5. Will not disengage a target unless its scripted.

    6. If they are not in range to hit a target they will use an

    action to move closer to that target if they have any

    actions available.

    Melee Monsters (Giant or larger)

    1. Will move into the center of of the party or in a

    position to be in range to hit as many of the party

    members as possible within its range.

    2. When attacking they choose their available target at

    the top of their turn and then stays on that target with

    any remaining melee attacks.

    3. If a melee monster does a ranged attack after hetargets a player character. He can use that ranged

    attack on anyone that is in range.

    4. If they are not in range to hit a target they will use an

    action to move closer to that target if they have any

    actions available.

    Ranged Caster Monsters (Any Size Class)

    1. They will use any free move action to move to the

    farthest from threat, yet within a unhindered range.

    2. When attacking they choose their available target at

    the top of each action. They can change up target

    from action to action.

    3. They will never engage a target unless scripted.4. If a melee attack is rolled when no targets are in

    ranged. Re-roll the attack.

    5. If they are not in range to hit a target they will use an

    action to move closer to that target if they have any

    actions available.

    Encounter DifficultiesRandom encounters can fall under 4 difficulties; Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Epic. These apply to two different types of

    creatures/NPCs; Physical and Mental. Physical based creatures use their physicality to fight, while mental creatures rely on

    magic or spell attacks. These are designed to be simplistic to increase game-play speed. Custom creatures you create can vary

    as much as you would like. If there are 5 or more party members it is customary to increase the creatures difficulty up one

    level to compensate for toughness. Experience Bonuses are added to the base experience of the monster.

    Encountering MonstersEncountering monsters can be done in many ways. The

    most common way is for an adventuring party to roll a

    Random Encounter on a Movement Chart. Another way

    is to encounter a monster that has been placed in the room

    by either the GM or predetermined by the quest, prior to

    the party encountering it.

    When a a monster is randomly rolled it is also randomly

    placed on the battle board from a position that is viable to

    their location.

    Open Area or Room Encounter Location When a monster is encountered in an open area or a

    room. A 1d12 is rolled to determine the location the

    monster is coming from (based on the 1-12 on the

    board).

    Hallway Encounter Location

    If an encounter is in a hallway a 1d6 is rolled todetermine where the monster is coming from as noted

    in red on the battle board. As you can see there is a

    higher chance things will come from the front of the

    party.

    Predetermined Monsters Predetermined monsters are usually placed in front of

    the party at either a random distance or up to 1d8

    grids away.

    If the quest or situation calls for a specific location

    then that is where you may place the monster.
