    1.1.1.1 #$ R%G &tandard Rules

    #he second +ariant of theE R! is the 'tandard Rules. #his is what !ost people will be happy to playfor !any years on end.

    1.1.1. #$ R%G (d)anced Rules

    5inally= the third +ariant is the ad+anced syste!. #heE R! %d"an&ed R$les ( E R! %R)is forthose ga!ers who really en>oy a high le+el of detail in their RP syste!s= en>oy nu!ber crunching= lots ofrolls= and plenty of tables to reference. #his has a !ore detailed character de+elop!ent and co!bat syste!= !oreco!pleG !agic syste!= healing= and nearly e+ery !echanical aspect of the syste! is !ore in+ol+ed= addingadditional dice rolls= !ath calculations= chart look-ups= etc. #his is certainly not for e+eryone= but there aredefinitely those ga!ers out there who lo+e getting into the nitty-gritty of a detailed syste!. 5or those who likethe eGtra detail and co!pleGity= this syste! +ariant is for you. 0f course= those playing the standard syste! arewelco!ed 9and !any will likely do so: to adopt portions of the ad+anced syste! into the standard rules to tweakthe parts they prefer to enhance. %+ery effort is !ade while de+eloping the standard and ad+anced syste!s to!ake it as easy as possible to plug in portions of the ad+anced rules into the standard rules whene+er possible.
