MagicRealmWiki | Main / Expanded Denizen Manuevers

Note: This was originally written well before the 3rd Edition Magic Realm Rules were published. As a result, all the rule references below are referring to 2nd Edition. Perhaps some day I'll get around to converting the references to 3rd Ed.

This rule expands the Attack/Maneuver combinations available to Denizens in combat. The combat section of the Daily Record Sheet is modified to have 9 pink boxes for deploying monsters in the combat section of a sheet.

So, we go from what we have now:

Charge/Thrust
	Dodge/Swing
		Duck/Smash

to this:

Charge/Thrust	Dodge/Thrust	Duck/Thrust
Charge/Swing	Dodge/Swing	Duck/Swing
Charge/Smash	Dodge/Smash	Duck/Smash

Normal rules for placing monsters in the boxes are followed (see rule 22.5).

Of course, this requires a modification of how the denizen's final positioning is determined. I have a new table located here that modifies rules 22.5/2 & 33.5/all and supercedes the Repositioning Denizens rules.

REPOSITIONING DENIZENS TABLE
	White Die			Red Die
	Starting Manuever			Starting Attack
Die Roll	Charge	Dodge	Duck	Thrust	Swing	Smash
1	Charge	Duck	Dodge	Thrust	Smash	Swing
2	Duck	Dodge	Charge	Smash	Swing	Thrust
3	Dodge	Charge	Duck	Swing	Thrust	Smash
4	Charge	Dodge	Duck	Thrust	Swing	Smash
5	Duck	Charge	Dodge	Smash	Thrust	Swing
6	Dodge	Duck	Charge	Swing	Smash	Thrust

Author's Notes: Feel free to use this rule in any games if you wish. Be warned however that it has not yet been extensively playtested, so unexpected results may occur and rulings will probably have to be made on the spot by players. The only thing I ask is that you make proper attributions & that you email me with notes on how the spell worked out in play.
