So, I recently ran my first TOR game and I love the system, but the books... Well, I won't say what I'm sure has already been said. Suffice to say I don't want to have to try to find things in the books at the table, so, to help the players I made up a cheat sheet of important rules, terms, and phases.

Updated TOR Cheat Sheet PDF

So, is there anything you think could be added? I want to keep from doing any tables since I do intend on eventually getting the Loremaster's Screen, and this is primarily intended for the Players while they're still learning so more important terms and tests would be good if there are any.

This looks extremely handy. In regards to what could be added, perhaps a section detailing the invocation of Hope and Specialities/Distinctive Features? As those are things that I know my group always go confused by. And I profess that I still don't know when favoured Wits would be relevant

The Invocation of Hope is explained in a very simplified way under "Terms". I tried not to go into super detail. It's more for the player to say "Hey, what's this Hope thing I can do?" and then the Loremaster explaining it.

I've also found, even after reading the books, that I have a hard time remembering some specifics until reminded, and this sheet should work for that.

And I really don't want it to be more than a page.

Adding the general idea of Traits is a good idea and will be added... Hopefully it'll stay at 1 page

I have a correction (rather than an addition) to suggest: "encumbrance" is misspelled as "encumberance" in the Important Tests section, first "Failure" entry.

This is a great reference, and I'm going to print it out for my own group to use during play. Thanks for posting it.

Yeah, I missed the squiggly red underline.

It's been fixed and "Traits" has been added to the Terms section.

The link above has been updated. It should be Cheat Sheet3.pdf Please download the new, corrected version.

This is really cool.

Two things:

For opening volley you might note your shield bonus is doubled

In the Fellowship Phase I think what you spend the Advancement and Experience points on are mixed up (XP on Valour etc and AP on common skills)

Good job keeping it concise

1. Didn't know that, must have missed it.

2. No... It's correct. XP on Valour, Weapons Skills, etc., AP on Skills. That's what it says.

Probably not going to be updating it as I am no longer running this system.

It is correct under the Fellowship Phase section, but incorrect under the Important Terms section.

That is unfortunate. Thanks for having made it in the first place, though. wink.gif
