Adversary sheets

[modsr]

I ran my first ever session of ToR, and it went great! The only problem was, during combat I found myself paging between the various opponents' stats, the orcish weapon stats and the descriptions of the opponents' Hate-powered abilities. Plus I didn't have a good system for tallying their Endurance.

I've been playing games without hit points and stat blocks for almost ten years now and I seem to have lost my mojo. What's your system for keeping track of the opponents' abilities, Endurance and weapon stats? It would probably be a good idea to have some sort of a sheet made ready with the pertinent stats for opponents you will most likely encounter during the session. Then again that seems like it might be a lot of work (you'd need one for every session). Any ideas? Thanks!

I put the adversary stat blocks, their abilities and weapons on one sheet so it's all at hand. I pencil in damage in any spare spot although you could use a scrap piece of paper for that by labelling them Orc 1, Orc2 etc., and save the sheet for reuse if its a common adversary like goblins or spiders.

Someone from the forums made a sheet with space for 3 adversaries. Printed in both sides of a sheet, you have the stats for 6 adversaries. Maybe Rich H? Sorry, but I download the documents I want and don't keep a track of it's author. Shame on me...

And for worse, I only have the spanish version in my harddrive. I'll link it, so that you see if it's what you'd need, but the search for the original english version continues...

zedturtle did this one, but it's not the one I'm using

I find it difficult to remember what each special ability does just from its name. As is done in the Doctor Who game, I like to put a summary of the special ability after its name. For instance:

Great Orc
Attribute Level: 7
Endurance: 48
Hate: 8
Parry: 5 + 2 (shield)
Armor: 4d

SKILLS
Personality: 3
Movement: 2
Perception: 3
Survival: 2
Custom: 2
Vocation: 3

WEAPON SKILLS
Heavy scimitar: 3 (Dmg 7; Edg 10; Inj 14; Brk Shld; 2h)
Broad-headed spear: 3 (Dmg 5; Edg 10; Inj 12; Prce)
Orc-axe: 2 (Dmg 5; Edg Eye; Inj 16; Brk Shld)

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Horrible Strength - 1 Hate to increase Dmg 7 (Att) pts.
Hideous Toughness - 1 Hate to avoid 7 (Att) pts Dmg.
Commanding Voice - 1 Hate to give 1 Hate to other orcs.
Great Size - 0 End or 1 Wound = Weary; 2 Wounds or 0 End + 1 Wound = killed

I made up some simple Adversary sheets and posted some awhile back (old forums). When I get home I'll put them up again (not sure if they're the ones already shown here, as I can't bring those up here at work).

[Majestic]

Here's a few that I've made. Note that these aren't fancy or anything; I've kept them pretty simple (and printer-friendly):

Attercops

Goblin Archers

Orc Soldiers

Stone Troll

@Majestic: when I saw you had several on each sheet, I wondered how many Stone Trolls you threw at your group at a time... relieved it was only one.

[Majestic]

LOL!

Yeah, the reason that I put multiple on each sheet (for the other adversaries) is it just makes it easier to track things (less clutter at the table). You'll also note there's a spot on the left where you can write in which PC is skirmishing with that enemy.

I made some NPC sheets for my wfrp conversion. You can check those out in the thread
