<p>In writing the Lone Wolf series, Joe Dever created a system of rules that is both simple and satisfying in its completeness. The rules seek to find a balance between being simple enough to learn in one sitting and being able to deal with situations encountered by the player in a reasonable, realistic and predictable way.</p>
- <p>However, the rules for the Lone Wolf books are not perfect, nor are they perfectly understandable to the first time reader. Many new readers are intimidated by the rules' level of complexity, skip over them and try to forget they ever existed. Although the Lone Wolf books can be enjoyed without following the rules, the reader will find greater enjoyment if the rules are understood and applied. For readers who understand the basic rules, there are inconsistencies and situations not covered by the rules. These inconsistencies and omissions can be frustrating for the conscientious.</p>
+ <p>However, the rules for the Lone Wolf books are not perfect, nor are they perfectly understandable to the first time reader. Many new readers are intimidated by the rules<ch.apos/> level of complexity, skip over them and try to forget they ever existed. Although the Lone Wolf books can be enjoyed without following the rules, the reader will find greater enjoyment if the rules are understood and applied. For readers who understand the basic rules, there are inconsistencies and situations not covered by the rules. These inconsistencies and omissions can be frustrating for the conscientious.</p>
<p>This Rule Handbook is intended to help both groups: new readers encountering the rules for the first time, and experienced readers encountering confusion about how to apply the rules in a particular situation. It is organized with the intention of helping you find the information you need when you need it.</p>
- <p>This booklet is divided up into sections based on the different series of gamebooks written and edited by Joe Dever: the <a idref="kairulz">Lone Wolf Kai series</a> (books 1
&endash;5), the <a idref="mkrulz">Lone Wolf Magnakai series</a> (books 6&endash;12), the <a idref="gmrulz">Lone Wolf Grand Master series</a> (books 13&endash;20), the <a idref="norulz">Lone Wolf New Order series</a> (books 21&endash;28), the <a idref="wrldrulz">World of Lone Wolf series</a> and the <a idref="fwrulz">Freeway Warrior series</a>. Each section goes through the rules sequentially as presented in the books.</p>

Each section goes through the rules sequentially as presented in the books.</p>
<p>A composite version of the rules for each series is written from beginning to end in its section. This composite appears without indentation. Where comment is necessary, it is inserted in indented text and <em>italic typeface</em>. For example:</p>

You may print out the <a idref="topics-actionchart">Action Chart</a> that appears in the Internet Editions of the books and fill in the blanks.

<hr />
<p>Links are also provided to helpful information in the <a idref="topics">Topical Guide</a>. For the first time reader, as you read through the rules, you can refer to this booklet to find explanations of the things you read in the order which you read them.</p>
<p>In areas where there is more than one reasonable way to interpret rules, we will present justifications for the most reasonable interpretations and let you decide for yourself. The Rules Handbook is not here to dictate the One True Way. Find what you are comfortable with and follow it.</p>
<p>The <a idref="topics">Topical Guide</a> which follows the several rules composites is an alphabetical listing of topics in need of clarification.</p>

<p>Now, through the pursuit of your new skills and the further development of your innate Kai abilities, you have set out upon a path of discovery that no other Kai Grand Master has ever attempted with success. Your determination to become the first Kai Supreme Master, by acquiring total proficiency in all twelve of the Grand Master Disciplines, is an awe-inspiring challenge. You will be venturing into the unknown, pushing back the boundaries of human limitation in the pursuit of greatness and the cause of Good. May the blessings of the gods Kai and Ishir go with you as you begin your brave and noble quest.</p>
<p>In the years following the demise of the Darklords you have reached the rank of Kai Grand Defender, which means that you have mastered four of the Grand Master Disciplines listed below. It is up to you to choose which four Disciplines these are. As all of the Grand Master Disciplines will be of use to you at some point during your adventure, pick your four skills with care. The correct use of a Grand Master Discipline at the right time could save your life.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The fact that you are skilled with two <a idref="topics-weapons">Weapons</a> does not mean that you begin the adventure carrying any of them. However, you will have opportunities to acquire <a idref="topics-weapons">Weapons</a> during your adventure. For every Lone Wolf book that you complete in the Grand Master series, you may add an additional <a idref="topics-weapons">Weapon</a> to your list.</p>

't <strong>necessarily</strong> mean that you start out with that <a idref="topics-weapons">Weapon</a>, but you might.</em></p>

- <p>Negative numbers are used throughout the books. They are the numbers below zero. For example, if we have 1 and subtract 1 from it, we have 0. If we subtract 1 again, we have the next number below zero: -1 (we call this negative 1). The minus sign before the one tells us that it is a negative number. If we subtract 1 yet again, we have -2, and so on.</p>
- <p>If we count from -5 to 5, it looks like this: -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. If we subtract 5 from 3, we get -2. To see that this is true, start at 3 and count back 5 numbers.</p>
- <p>To add a negative number to a normal (positive) number, we can think of it like subtraction. For example, if we add 3 and -2 we get 1. 3 + -2 is the same as 3 - 2, which is 1.</p>

- <p>The following is an example of a simple combat to show how it works in general and to supplement the example given in the Rules for Combat section of the books. This example is taken from <a href="&link.01fftd;"><cite>Flight from the Dark</cite></a>: Section 229.</p>
- <p>Lone Wolf has a base <a idref="topics-combatskill"><typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ></a> score of 15. He has an <a idref="topics-endurance"><typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ></a> score of 23. He has the Discipline of Mindblast which adds 2 <a idref="topics-combatskill"><typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ></a> points to his base score (as long as his enemy isn
't immune to Mindblast). He has mastered the Discipline of Weaponskill with the <a idref="topics-quarterstaff">Quarterstaff</a>. He is carrying an <a idref="topics-axe">Axe</a> and a <a idref="topics-mace">Mace</a>.</p>
- <p>He is in combat with a Kraan who isn't immune to Mindblast, so he adds 2 <a idref="topics-combatskill"><typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ></a> points to his score (15 + 2 = 17). He isn't carrying a <a idref="topics-quarterstaff">Quarterstaff</a> (the <a idref="topics-weapons">weapon</a> in which he has Weaponskill so he doesn't benefit his Weaponskill mastery. He must reduce his <a idref="topics-combatskill"><typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ></a> by 1 due to dust mentioned in the book (17 - 1 = 16).</p>
- <p>Lone Wolf
's opponent&emdash;a Kraan&emdash;has a <a idref="topics-combatskill"><typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ></a> of 16 so the <a idref="topics-combatratio">Combat Ratio</a> is 0 (16 - 16 = 0). The Kraan has an <a idref="topics-endurance"><typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ></a> of 25.</p>
- <p>Combat begins by picking a random number which is traditionally done using the <a idref="topics-randomnumbertable">Random Number Table</a>, but there a other ways available. The first random number picked is 6. Looking that up on the <a idref="topics-combatresultstable">Combat Results Table</a> by finding the <a idref="topics-combatratio">Combat Ratio</a> (0) at the top and cross-referencing it with the random number (6) along the side. In this case, we find that Lone Wolf has lost 2 <a idref="topics-endurance"><typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ></a> points and the Kraan has lost 8. Now Lone Wolf has 21 <a idref="topics-endurance"><typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ></a> points (23
- 2 = 21) and the Kraan has 17 (25 - 8 = 17). Lone Wolf and his opponent continue with these new, reduced <a idref="topics-endurance"><typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ></a> point scores.</p>
- <p>Combat continues by picking another random number: 5. During this round, Lone Wolf loses another 2 <a idref="topics-endurance"><typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ></a> points while the Kraan loses 7. Lone Wolf now has an <a idref="topics-endurance"><typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ></a> score of 19 (21 - 2 = 19) and the Kraan has 10 (17 - 7 = 10). The situation looks good for Lone Wolf.</p>
- <p>The random number picked for the next round is 1&emdash;not a great round for Lone Wolf. He loses 4 <a idref="topics-endurance"><typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ></a> points while the Kraan loses only 3. Lone Wolf is left with 15 <a idref="topics-endurance"><typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ></a> points (19 - 4 = 15) and the Kraan has 7 (10 - 3 = 7).</p>
- <p>Another random number is picked: 7. This time Lone Wolf loses 2 <a idref="topics-endurance"><typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ></a> points leaving him with 13 (15
- 2 = 13) and the Kraan loses 9 <a idref="topics-endurance"><typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ></a> points leaving him with -2 (7 - 9 = -2). Since the Kraan has an <a idref="topics-endurance"><typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ></a> score that is <a idref="topics-negativenumbers">less than or equal to 0</a>, it is dead and Lone Wolf wins the combat and can continue his quest.

- <p>[Q:] Is the <quote>Dagger of Vashna</quote> Taken from the Bandit Leader Barraka at the Maakengorge, usable as a weapon?&ellips;</p>
- <p>[A:] Yes, if you possess this Special Item you may use it as an ordinary dagger in combat. Kai Masters may find it interesting to note for future use that the Dagger of Vashna could prove to be a valuable piece of equipment to take with them on the quest for the Lorestone of Tahou in Lone Wolf Book 9&emdash;<quote>The Cauldron of Fear</quote>&ellips;you have been warned!</p>
- <p>[Q:] Can you keep Backpack Items in [safekeeping] at the Kai Monastery?&ellips;</p>
- <p>[A:] Yes if you wish to leave any surviving Backpack tems in [safekeeping] at the end of an adventure, you can do so. When beginning the next quest, you are given a selection of new equipment which you may then supplement with any of the items you previously held. Many readers have written to point out that they now have a huge selection of Special Items discovered during the course of their adventures and that carrying all these goodies seems a little unrealistic. In response to theis valid point, a new rule comes into effect in Lone Wolf 8, limiting the number of Special Items you can carry. The new limit is 12 Special Items; all others you may have must be left in safe keeping.

+ <p>[A:] Yes, if you possess this Special Item you may use it as an ordinary dagger in combat. Kai Masters may find it interesting to note for future use that the Dagger of Vashna could prove to be a valuable piece of equipment to take with them on the quest for the Lorestone of Tahou in Lone Wolf Book 9<ch.emdash/><quote>The Cauldron of Fear</quote><ch.ellips/>you have been warned!</p>
+ <p>[Q:] Can you keep Backpack Items in [safekeeping] at the Kai Monastery?<ch.ellips/></p>
+ <p>[A:] Yes if you wish to leave any surviving Backpack tems in [safekeeping] at the end of an adventure, you can do so. When beginning the next quest, you are given a selection of new equipment which you may then supplement with any of the items you previously held. Many readers have written to point out that they now have a huge selection of Special Items discovered during the course of their adventures and that carrying all these goodies seems a little unrealistic. In response to theis valid point, a new rule comes into effect in Lone Wolf 8, limiting the number of Special Items you can carry. The new limit is 12 Special Items; all others you may have must be left in safe keeping. A tip to all Kai Masters<ch.emdash/>don<ch.apos/>t take you full quota of 12 items with you when youbegin the adventure; leave enough room for any you may find en route otherwise you will have to sacrifice some in favour of others.

<p>[A:] No, unlike the ranking system that marks the rise of Kai Lords, the Shianti do not have set levels of advancement.</p>

<p>[A:] For every adventure you complete in the Magnakai series, assuming you have the mastery of Weaponmastery, you gain proficiency in the use of one new weapon. The bonus to your [<a idref="topics-combatskill"><typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ></a>] rating for use of this weapon is combat always remains at +3.</p>

<p>[A:] You can drop ([i.e.] discard) a weapon at any time during your adventure, you need not wait until the end of the book. If you find a weapon during the adventure (it will be marked in the text with a capital letter, like a Backpack Item) you may pick it up and use it. You can only carry two weapons at any time.</p>

- <p>[Q:] If Lone Wolf has Weaponskill & Weaponmastery with the same weapon, does this give him +3 or +5 extra <a idref="topics-combatskill"><typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ></a> points in battle?

<p>[A:] The correct weapon bonus is +3, on higher than the basic Kai Discipline bonus for having Weaponskill. Kai Mastery of Curing gives the same +1 <a idref="topics-endurance"><typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ></a> point back (for every section though which you pass without combat) as does the basic Kai Discipline of Healing. The mastery advantage comes with the ability to cure disease, blindness and combat wounds, as well as being able to identify the properties of herbs, roots, and potions. Additional advantages are gained at higher rank as the Magnakai [Discipline] improves.</p>

<p>[A:] If you win the combat against the Vordak you are able to retrieve the weapon and keep it noted on your Action Chart.</p>

<p>[A:] All lost [<a idref="topics-endurance"><typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ></a>] points are regained at the end of an adventure.

<p>[A:] If you have completed all five of the Basic series books you can add +1 [<a idref="topics-endurance"><typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ></a>] as per the rules of Healing. This advantage will benefit all those Kai Masters who have completed the basic series books prior to tackling the Magnakai Series.</p>

<p>[A:] The Fireseeds are Special Items which count only as 1 item no matter how many of them you possess. However, when you use them be sure to note how many you have left. Also, for the purpose of determining your maximum number of Special Items (12), all Fireseeds count as 1 item.</p>

+ <p>[Q:] If you find a new Backpack in one of the adventures, can you use it to hold an additional 8 items as well as those you already have?<ch.ellips/></p>
<p>[A:] Realistically, you can only wear one [Backpack] at a time, and carry a maximum of eight [Backpack] items ([Special Items] not included). Carrying two [Backpacks], and 16 [Backpack Items], would make close combat very difficult indeed, even for a Kai Master.

<p>[A:] The [+1EP] bonus gained when passing through combatless sections does still apply, but only if you have played and survived the Magnakai series books. Joe Dever intended this as a <quote>hidden loyalty bonus</quote> for readers who had played the earlier books, which is why it was ommitted from the Grand Master rules.</p>
