Rules & Mechanics

Every gaming table introduces its own house rules, additions and mechanics to their game, and the worlds of the Eternal Champion are no different. Collected here are a variety of fan submitted rules and mechanic that can help you bring the multiverse to life!

This page gathers all the other articles, documents and gaming material that doesn’t easily fit elsewhere on the Stormbringer! site.

Alternate Magics by Andrea Rocci (Click to Expand)

New options and rules on modifying spells and the summoning of demons in Stormbringer 5th edition.

From Andrea – “These are some simple house rules on magic that I am playtesting in my current campaign. They aim at reintroducing into the magic system the element of randomness and chaos and the cosmic proportions that characterized the old Stormbringer RPG. Although the new Elric! system is more balanced, I think it lacks some of the chaotic element that made the old Stormbringer so fun. Some simple rule variants can reintroduce the best of the old system without the flaws — I hope. The main feature of these rules is that they reintroduce the Summoning skill and employ it in new ways, taking advantage of the extended use of “criticals” that characterizes the Elric! RPG.”

Not to be confused with Wizards of the Coast’s D20 system, the 20sided conversion is aimed at improving speed and simplicity within the rule set. A living document, the 20sided conversion rule set will grow as additions are made to the mechanics. Note that copy of either Stormbringer 5th edition or ELRIC! is required to use this conversion document properly.

The core conversion ruleset detailing the aims of the 20sided system, and how to transfer existing Stormbringer 5th edition adventurers into this system.
