Just downloaded thePDF of Reforged in preparation for my campaign when the physical book arrives (maybe earlier if I get impatient lol) and noticed that a Cup of Ale in Alcohol and Lodgings costs 1SP, the same price as a Gallon of Ale under Commodities! I saw a few other things that didn't feel right, but that by far was the worst offender.

Does anyone find that there are not enough non-magic expert professions? I feel like it is chock-full of unique magic professions, but not too many warriors, rangers, rogues, and the like. And those that are are slavers and crime bosses? I love the game, but I wish there were some more non-magical expert professions that weren't just evil.

A moment came up in our last game. A player has the trait Magnificent Bastard, which reads "Select one foe in combat. That foe is LEFT DEFENSELESS to all Perilous Stunts you make until they are defeated. You may select another foe afterwards" and they asked about the Perilous Stunt Knockout! which reads "Only foes WHO ARE DEFENSELESS or Helpless can be made victim to Knockout!. However, unique Talents or Traits may allow an attacker to use this in other circumstances." Does this mean that a character with that trait can always perform Knockout! on any opponent that they first select on combat, no matter what?

Per the rules, using a ranged weapon at a Far target suffers a Hindrance die, but using a Blackpowder weapon at a Far target instead suffers the Flip to Fail mechanic. Why? What's the difference with the odds? Does it matter in practice?

Hello everybody

Just started learning zweihander. I'm reading the reforged edition. Can anybody explain how damaging is better than peril? At first glance, it seems that peril is better in everything:

Hangs penalties.

The damage dice are bigger.

Stacks with mental effects.

Why should I think about doing damage in a close combat rather than peril. Or am I misunderstanding something?

Hi again.

We're rolling characters and first game is on thursday. I cant for the life of me understand what "derived secondary attributes" are calculated, or how they are used.

Is there a guide somewhere? We can't seem to find it in the rulebook.

Dear forum, first time posting here.

I'm running my first Zweihander campaign, set in the Old World.

My old Grognards were asking if there's any "instant death", say an enemy rolls 30 damage, at what point do we start considering something dead- or limb cut off?

Thank you :)
