LotR Stat block

[Tomcat]

I just put this together for my online PbP game to make it easier to see what a PC can do. The stat block is based on the Star Wars Saga block, and I think it will make life a bit easier seeing what bonuses go with what.

I love it, Tomcat.

Funnily enough, I spent quite some time a while back converting all the Star Wars Saga stat blocks into D&D 4th Ed versions - I don't play (or like) 4E, but I do like the way the stat blocks are set out.

But I love what you've done with this...I'm going to spend this weekend going through a lot of my LotR stat blocks with your magic wand in hand!!

Thanks, Aldaron!

Let me know if you see another Reaction situation that needs to be added. I wanted to be able to have a list of the reactions with appropriate mods from edges and abilites against whatever situation. I think I got them all.

Also, if you look at Willpower, you will see Magic - I use Willpower as the governing reaction for Magic, not Stamina. Any failure result of the tests will have the same Weariness effect from casting the spell. Multiple spell casts, and spells that are active will incur the penalties to Willpower tests on future castings. The Willpower casting test result will also set the TN for any victim saves.

These blocks would work for Trek, too.
