Search the Rule Book Only

This section is a Rule Book in Progress for the Wizardry Legacy Video Game. New pages are going to get added when game rules seems to become solid. The goal is to teach players how to play the game and explain the mechanics behind the game. It's also useful for me to know what design decision has been retained when developing the game instead of searching through my notes. So this page is somewhat the design document. The rule book has been split in many small articles to make it easier to find the information you need.

UPDATE: I am currently refactoring the game book. I want to redesign the rules in order to simplify even more the system to make it easy to understand by the player and that looks much closer to the original Wizardry game without losing features of the new mechanics I designed over time.
