What is )5 d/ 6t is an attempt to modify Dngeons Dragons &@M(

and the entire ;ni%erse of his creation in 'hich those lands are set dring

different 0Ages2. @his is #8@ the )5 R*+ System itself. @hat system is ndergoing

separate de%elopment and follo's a completely different system in all areas. @he

)5 d/ R*+ is Kst an attempt at getting a little closer to @olkien 0athenticity2

sing the e?isting d/ system, 'ithot a completely ne' system o%erhal. ook

those rles as 'ell.

6t is hoped that many @olkien fans 'ill prefer the original )5 R*+

System for role playing in J.R.R. @olkiens ni%erse, 'hen it is finally a%aila!le,

since the primary goal is to fit @olkiens 'orld !etter than any other e?isting

system. Bt ntil then, since d/ is the dominant system &mch like Microsoft isdominating 'ith its operating systems and prodcts, so too is "as!ro

dominating the role playing gaming 'orld throgh Wiards of the Coast(, the

hope is that players 'ill get an incremental step closer to more 0@olkienesLe2

gaming, 'hile sing a game system they and their friends are already familiar

and comforta!le 'ith.

Magic in Middle1earth is different in many 'ays than most typical DD

2 Magic in Middle-earth Overview

Magic in Middle1earth is less pre%alent than the flashy1fire!all1casting1

'iard types from typical DD settings, thogh it ismch more present andper%asi%e than one realies !ecase it is in a more s!tle and 0natral2 'ay. @he

entire @olkien ;ni%erse, )5 &0the 'orld that is2( 'as !roght into !eing throgh

the Song of Creation !y )r 6lN%atar and the lesser deities, the Galar and their

less po'erfl !rethren the Maiar. @o a lesser impact, !t no lesser %ale, all the

-ree *eoples of Middle1earth Men, D'ar%es, )l%es, )nts, "o!!its, etc. play an

important part in adding the notes, refrains, melodies, and chorses to the Msic

of the Ainr.

Magic is more dangeros to se in 0nnatral2 'ays than in typical

DD settings, especially in the later ages, not only !ecase of its difficlties, !t

also !ecase it can !e felt !y others attned to magic at great distances. )%ilmagic corrpts. Minds can !e !roken, dri%ing a spell caster insane. *o'erfl

magic lea%es traces that can !e sensed !y some, for hors, days, e%en many

years, after'ard.

@he %ast maKority of hmans and "o!!its in Middle1earth, especially in

the @hird and -orth Ages, go throgh life !lissflly na'are of the 0magic2 that

per%ades the %ery fa!ric of the 'orld, and sally shy a'ay from, or e%en

condemn those that se 0o!%ios2 magic.

@here is 0magic2 in the po'er of 'ords, oaths, crses, and most

especially in msic and song. @his comes %ery mch from the Song of Creationsinflence.

@he terms sorceryand sorcerersare considered e%il in Middle1earth !y

@olkiens standards, closer in natre to necromancythan 'iardry.@hogh many

non1magic1sers consider all spell casters to !e the sameO scary, 0nnatral2,

and sers thereof to !e a%oided !y a 'ide !erth. @olkien 'as a master 'ord

smith, and so many 'ords he ses in his 'orks sally ha%e a %ery concise

meaning, and freLently a long history !ehind it. 6t depends on the le%el of

0prity2 yo 'ant to ndertake in yor Middle1earth campaign 'hether yo 'ill

allo' the class 0Sorcerer2 to !e a good aligned character or not. -or some DMs

this is more only a semantics isse than a system isse. 6t 'old seem more that

necromantictypes of magic 'old fit 'hat @olkien referred to as 0sorcery2 in the

e%il sense. So, for most DMs, rather than modifying the Sorceror class per se,

Kst a name change for good or netral aligned sorcerer1type casters, may!e Kst

the generic term 0Mage2 or 0Magician2, or 0Wild Magician2 or some other more

A formla has !een de%eloped throgh e?tensi%e play testing 'ith

&Difficlty Check( reLired to sccessflly cast a spell 'ithot negati%e

@he !asic approach is that each spell has a set DC. @he spell caster

rolls to %erify spell casting sccess. 6f caster scceeds, the spell is cast normally

e?ceed the Base Spell Cast DC, then they mst roll a Spell Casting -ortitde

Reslts @a!le to see 'hat additional ill effects !efall the spell caster. -inally, the

DM rolls a check on the Spell Cast Broadcast, Detection, and Reside to see if

those creatres or #*Cs that are sensiti%e to 0magic2 might ha%e !een alerted to

the spell casters se of these po'ers, 'hich can ha%e a significant storyline

impact that is appropriate to a @olkien game setting.

@hogh this approach initially adds some comple?ity for the spell

caster &and DM(, play testing has sho'n that after a fe' ses, !oth player&s( and

DM Lickly integrate this into normal game play 'ith minimal impact on game

flo'. @hese e?tra 0hoops to Kmp throgh2 leads to spell casters !eing far morecarefl a!ot 'hen they se higher le%el 0magic2, and a !etter appreciation for

the effort it takes and the associated risks. Also noted 'as an increase in the

other non1spell1casters actal appreciation for the spell casters a!ilities,

'hereas pre%iosly they 'ere generally taken for granted. @here tends to !e

considera!ly less se of %isi!le magic !y #*Cs and *Cs, so that 'hen it is sed,

it has more of a feeling of something special, rather than rotine.

@he Spell Casting DC is in addition to the sal Concentration checks

circmstances are, the spell caster mst roll the Spell Cast Check to determine if

'211 O#tions To %educe "#ell !roadcast

Becase of the concern a!ot more po'erfl spell casters 'orried

a!ot attracting the attention of their enemies, there are se%eral options for

redcing the likelihood of detection.

8ne option is to cast spells only 'hen at least / feet ndergrond or

'ithin specially protected fortresses that 'ill not 0leak ot2 spell !roadcasting

dring their e?periments and other magic se. 6t seems that Saron and

Sarman !oth made se of this option to hide from the 'atchfl eyes of @he

Concil.

A spell caster cold perform the magic far a'ay, in %ery remote

locations.

Another option is if the spell caster decides to take a mch longer

time casting the spell &'ithot going into a rital to enhance the spell(. @he spell

caster can opt to take a nm!er of mintes to cast a spell, that 'old normally

take a rond or less, eLal the casters spell casting le%el. Choosing this option

'ill redce their spell !roadcastreside !ase nm!er considera!ly, do'n to Kst

the spells le%el &pls location and alignment modifiers(.

)?ample, an 4thle%el spell caster casting a rdle%el netral spell in a

netral location. @his 'old normally !e a !ase !roadcast of 33 to cast it in one

6f casting an e%il spell in an e%il area, the Spell Broadcast e%el is

&thogh of corse it is al'ays a!le to e%entally 'ea%e any sch discord into

@he Song of Arda is still ne'ly forming the ni%erse and the 'orld,
