These are the basic rules for Roguelike Half intermediate level (16-33) play.
When a hero reaches Level 16, they learn a new Special Skill, and when
they reach Level 25 they take a second Sub-Attribute and a Job.
As listed in the core rules, heroes have an upper limit to their ability scores.
| Ability Score | EXP To Raise |
|---|---|
| Technique | 4 exp |
| Life Points | 1 exp |
| Sub-Attribute. | 1 exp |
| Followers | 2 exp |
| Ability Score | Upper Limit |
|---|---|
| Technique | +2 (2) |
| Life Points | +4 (8) |
| Sub-Attribute | +4 (6) |
| Followers | +2 (9) |
| Ability Score | Upper Limit |
|---|---|
| Technique | +2 (no change) |
| Life Points | +4 (no change) |
| Sub-Attribute | +6 (8) |
| Followers | +5 (12) |
| Ability Score | Upper Limit |
|---|---|
| Technique | +2 (no change) |
| Life Points | +4 (no change) |
| Sub-Attribute | +8 (10) |
| Sub-Attribute 2 | +10 (see Second Sub-Attribute) |
| Followers | +8 (15) |
In the base rules, your sub-attribute has no job name associated with it. In this rulebook, we use the following names:
- Sorcery ... Sorcerer
- Divinity ... Priest
- Dexterity ... Thief
- Strength ... Warrior
In the expanded rules, there are other jobs associated with these sub-attributes:
- Sorcery ... Mechanist
- Divinity ... Necromancer
- Dexterity ... Monster Hunter
- Strength ... Beastmaster
The details of these jobs can be found in the Expanded Roguelike Half rules, (Jobs) section.
Heroes that have reached the 25th level can learn a second sub-attribute.
The second sub-attribute starts at 0, and can be increased by 1 point per 1 experience point.
The hero selects a second Job.
For instance, if the hero chooses Dexterity, they may choose either Thief or Monster Hunter from the expanded rules.
You acquire special skills in accordance with the Job you select (e.g. if you select Warrior, then you would acquire Power Attack, Power Defend, and Protect).
The skills listed in the New Special Skills section can only be used by characters who are level 25 or higher.
The upper limit of the second sub-attribute is the same as the first sub-attribute. In other words, under normal conditions this is a max of 10 for levels 25-33.
You cannot acquire a sub-attribute you already have. For instance, a Priest cannot select Necromancer.
Each Job has new skills that they can learn when they reach intermediate level. Magicians and Priests special skills are "spells".
Special training is needed to learn these abilities available at level 16. To acquire one takes 1 experience point and 50 gold.
- Magician: Chain Lightning, Mana Drain, Invisible Wall, Dispel Magic
- Priest: Conversion, Healing, Holy Blow, Revelation
- Thief: Might Shot, Rapid Shot, Good Trade, Sneaking

The cockatrice breathes poison breath in round 0. The attack is of the Paralyze element and may target up to two targets. This attack has no effect on Undead, Golem, Plan, Giant Craeture, Mobile Weapon or Construct type creatures.

This Paralyze effect does not stack.
The cockatrice does not attack with weapons, so it does not lose its action during turn 1 in combat.
