The following is straight out of the issue 3, The Veteran Issue.
Since the issue won't be out for a little while yet (it's coming, it's coming), I thought I would put up at this guideline for earning Veteran points.
That way your players can start earning now.
They won't be able to "spend" them till the issue comes out but at least they won't be "wastingtime".
Enjoy everyone.
The Lair Veteran System
or
What are Veteran Points and How do I get my filthy Paws on them?
The Lair of Sword and Sorcery Veteran system is what the players use to
increase their heroes abilities.
Whether it become better fighters, more powerful sorcerers,
or more influential politicians.
The players receive Veteran points for accomplishing
difficult tasks or at least surviving dangerous ones.
You can receive points for surviving battles, defeating
enemies, succeeding at a scenario, or accomplishing other difficult tasks.
They should also receive Veteran points for doing amazing
things that make the game more fun, whether it be their hero attempting and
amazing maneuver in the middle of a combat, coming up with an amazing plan, or
even dressing up like their heroes.
The Specific Rules
A player gains 1 VP immediately after any of the following
things occur
Survive an encounter with a group of Enemies of Equal or
Greater Rank (calculating the Rank of a group is covered later)
Survive making a death roll (this is on top of “survive and
encounter with a group…)
Beat a scenario (complete the scenario objectives)
Succeed at an impossible task (an impossible SOTA roll)
which would have caused harm to the hero if it failed
The player has an impressive Roleplaying moment which
impresses the rest of the group
Dressing up as your Hero earns you 1 VP. (Leave the sharp
things at home kids)]
And that’s it. The DemonLord is free to also award VP for
anything which they deem worthy or it.
What you don’t get VP for is for looking for trouble. If you
decide to take on the city guard who obviously outpower you, and they arrest
you but don’t kill you then you don’t get a VP for “Surviving and encounter
with a group of enemies of greater rank”
If you knew for a fact that the guards would kill you and
you still chose to attack that may be a different story but a good rule of
thumb is if you have nothing to gain by attacking then you don’t get a VP. It
is up to the DemonLord to make the call when the heroes go looking for trouble.
