About HârnWorld

play. D20 is designed as a dungeon crawl game where the
characters battle legions of bizarre monsters and find all manner of

Powerful magic does exist, but it is not easily accessible by everyone.

There is usually a lot of good D&D/Hârn discussion in the
New to Hârn? Alternate Realities section of the Hârn Forum.
This guide won’t be of much use to you if you don’t own any
Hârn material. At the very least you’ll need to buy two products to
get started:

• HârnWorld. Contains two books. The first details the island


of Hârn and the main continent, Lythia, with sufficient detail
to get you started. It includes a history of Hârn and an
explanation of feudalism, manorialism, and royal
government. The second book is a Hârn index called the
HârnDex. It lists every nation, city, important keep, place of
note, culture, tribal nation, religion, social group,
organization, weapon, plus much more. HârnWorld also
includes a beautiful, full color map of Hârn. A great review of
HârnWorld can be found at Ardwulf's Lair.

• Hârn Player. Written for players, Hârn Player is packed full


of useful cultural, historical, religious, political, and social
information. It also provides common lore and an edited
version of the HârnDex (to protect GM secrets).

Both of these products are available at most gaming shops


and directly from Columbia Games.

Fighter
There are many types of Fighters on Hârn. They are
differentiated by the skills they possess, the weapons and armor
they are trained to use, their culture, and social status. The
following types of fighter are available to characters. Each type of
fighter is presented as a starting package (think of them as prestige

Sneak Attack
Hunters can perform sneak attacks beginning at 1st level. Any
time the Hunter’s target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC
(whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when
the Hunter flanks the target, the Hunter's attack deals extra
damage. The extra damage is +1d6 at 1st level and an additional
1d6 every two levels thereafter. Should the Hunter score a critical
hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied.
The Hunter specializes in ranged sneak attacks. However,
ranged attacks can only count as sneak attacks if the target is within
50 feet and the Hunter is using a bow, halfspear, or javelin. The
Hunter can't strike with deadly accuracy from beyond that range.
The Hunter cannot use a weapon that deals normal damage to
deal subdual damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual –4
penalty.
A Hunter can only sneak attack a living creature with a
discernible anatomy. Any creature that is immune to critical hits is
also not vulnerable to sneak attacks. The Hunter must be able to
see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able
to reach a vital spot. The Hunter cannot sneak attack while striking
a creature with concealment or striking the limbs of a creature
whose vitals are beyond reach.

Estoc Yes Yes An Estoc is a narrow, tapered blade 3’ to 4’ in length. It is specifically designed for puncturing mail and is

The religions of Larani and Agrik are seen as foreign to the Thardic peoples.
While the Laranian and Agrikan religions do focus on the nobility, they are
not as popular in Tharda as they are in other countries.

The alignment of Sarajin and his followers is hard to classify. Sarajin
upholds a strong code of honor called the Ljarl, but it focuses on courage,
bravery, and glory in battle. The adherence to the Ljarl is certainly lawful. Yet
Sarajin’s battle lust is wild and full of raging chaos.
