Instead of the Combat Matrix, characters have a Combat Bonus.

Level	Fighter Combat Bonus	Cleric Combat Bonus	M.U. Combat Bonus
1	+2	+1	+1
2	+3	+1	+1
3	+4	+2	+1
4	+5	+2	+2
5	+6	+3	+2
6	+7	+3	+2

No adjustments to XP gain are made based on Prime Requisite Abilities.

Dwarves lose access to Darkvision.

Characters may carry items equal to their AC plus 5. 250 coins count as an item. Worn or wielded equipment does not count towards this limit.
Characters carrying over this amount are encumbered. They move at half-speed, and are liable to drop items and fall.
Characters carrying double this are overburdened. They are exhausted by any sustained movement.
Beasts of burden may carry 24 items.

Characters not wearing a Helm are subject to Critical Hits from monsters.

Fallen characters may be given a funeral. Doing so buys their XP at a rate of 1GP = 1XP, shared between all those contributing to the funeral.

n.b. Damage is 1d6 by default, with the size of the weapon giving dis/advantage. (That is - Light weapons roll damage twice and take the worse result, Heavy weapons roll twice and take the highest result. Medium weapons just roll once.)

Weapons	Cost	Size	Fighter Techniques
Battle-Axe	10gp	Medium	May sacrifice 3 damage from an attack to attempt a weapon/shield strip. Roll a second attack - if successful, a weapon or shield can be ripped from the grip of the opponent.
Club	5gp	Light	Forgo damage to attempt to stun - after a successful attack, target attempts to save vs paralysis - failure results in them losing their combat round. Further strikes against them are at +2.
Crossbow*	30gp	Medium	Ignores armour, 1 round reload. AC from sources other than armour are treated normally (e.g. supernatural speed)
Dagger	5gp	Light	Throw-able, usable in grapple situation.
Flail	8gp	Medium	Ignores shields.
Greatsword*	20gp	Heavy	Upon a killing blow, the wielder can roll another attack. This effect can be triggered multiple times.
Hand-Axe	6gp	Light	Throw-able. If 4+ damage is dealt, the Hand-axe bounces, ‘attacking’ again.
Polearm*†	20gp	Heavy	Strikes against adjacent allies are at -2.
Poleaxe*	20gp	Heavy	AC of target is treated as 7 when attacked.
Javelin	5gp	Medium	Throw-able.
Longbow*	30gp	Medium	+1 to hit per round spent aiming.
Mace	8gp	Medium	Increases AC of those struck by 1 to a maximum of 7. This effect is permanent.
Quarterstaff*	5gp	Light	Opponents must make a Save vs Breath Weapon, failure resulting in an automatic hit with this weapon.
Shortbow*	15gp	Medium	Can split move and fire (i.e. move fire move).
Shortsword	5gp	Light	Riposte twice.
Sling	1gp	Light	Can be used to launch grenades.
Spear†	4gp	Medium	Wielder may choose hold their attack until someone tries to approach them - they then roll an attack first.
Sword	8gp	Medium	Riposte once.
Two-Handed Axe*	15gp	Heavy	If a 6 is rolled for damage, roll another d6 and add the result. This effect can be triggered multiple times. Attacks against the wielder are at +1.
Warhammer*	25gp	Heavy	Those struck are thrown backwards if unable to make a Save. Use the damage rolled to determine distance, minus the HD of the creature struck.

† denotes a weapon with reach, being able to strike from behind another
* denotes weapons requiring two hands
Riposte: Attacks against the wielder which score below 7 (before AC is applied) result in the wielder being able to attempt a counter-attack, resolved normally.
