The Duelist
Duelist is a combat add-on for tabletop roleplaying games, intended to add depth and variety to a wide range of most popular TTPRG games without replacing their mechanics.
Instead, Duelist works with existing game systems, to further bring out the fun of combat.
A gift for your fighter friends
Using Duelist in your games is going to help your fighter characters of all classes and variations express themselves through a combat style, and be more effective against foes at the same time. Duelist isn’t a direct power upgrade for your fighters, however, as the increased effectiveness comes at the cost of potential drawbacks.
Duelist introduces a simple system of semi-random selection and multiple convergent stances and attack types. The players can choose theirs at will, while the non-player character opponents choose theirs either through Game Master/Dungeon Master fiat or through a simple semi-random selection method—the decision roll.
