Rolemaster Unified: Character Companion for FoundryVTT

Bring the full depth and gritty realism of Rolemaster Unified to your virtual tabletop. This official FoundryVTT module delivers Training Packages, Fighting Styles and more to Rolemaster Unified.

• Complete Character Companion ruleset available in Journals.
• New options for skill resolution, skill specialization, and creative use of skills in combat. The skill specialization rules follow those from the RMFRP School of Hard Knocks.
• Expanded skill descriptions including examples of uses of skills at every difficulty level, making it easier for players and gamemasters to assess these and other situations. This material revises RMFRP School of Hard Knocks for the more condensed skill list of the present edition. Many skills now apply to a wider range of circumstances and the examples reflect this.
• Additional cultural backgrounds including cultures especially suitable for non-humans.
• Fighting styles providing new abilities and options for martially-oriented characters. Inspiration is drawn from the RMSS Martial Arts Companion and RMC Combat Companion
• Additional talents as well as optional rules limiting talents and helping to explain where a character’s abilities come from. The new talents are drawn from, and revise, the material in previous editions including RMFRP Character Law as well as new material.
• Additional flaws, since a character may be defined as much by their failings and weaknesses as they are by their strengths. These likewise revise flaws from RMFRP Character Law as well as adding new material.
• New optional rules for training packages. In the present edition, we made a choice not to include training packages in the core rules, and as such the aim here is to provide a tool which is helpful for establishing a character’s history and explaining their talents, but not to provide a significant power boost. This should allow players who enjoy them to use them, while allowing those who prefer to dive directly into skill selection to do so, without creating a power imbalance. The example training packages update those from RMSS and RMFRP as well as including new material.
• Adds 5 new Arms professions Assassin, Barbarian, Outrider, Swashbuckler and Trader.
• Searchable journals – rules and tables for fast GM reference.
• Compatible with many modules including: JB2A (free and Patreon), PSFX (free and Patreon), Argon - Combat HUD (RMU), RMU Complementary Skills Calculator, Visage, and Dice so Nice.
