Iron Crown Enterprises

Arms Law
''Arms Law'' is a supplement published by Iron Crown Enterprises in 1980 for the fantasy role-playing game ''Rolemaster''. Contents ''Arms Law'' is a combat system initially designed for melee combat in fantasy role-playing games, utilizing only percentile dice. In summary, each character has an Offensive Bonus (OB), which takes into account one's natural physical adeptness, weapon skill, and other factors, and a Defensive Bonus (DB), which takes into account natural agility, the use of shields and "Adrenal Defense", the ability of martial artists to avoid blows seemingly without effort. In addition various modifiers for position, wounds, and other factors are present. An attacking combatant rolls percentile dice, adds his or her OB to the total, adds modifiers, and subtracts the defender's DB. The total is then applied to a table for the attacker's weapon. The attack total is cross-indexed with the type of armor (if any) worn by the defender and the result will be a number of con ...
