EXPAND YOUR TOURNAMENTS beyond knightly combat with this premium excerpt from Knights of the Wood: The Duke’s Tourney — Sans AI Edition. Experience the thrill of the hunt where invited knights depend on their skilled Hunter companions for success. A separate mini-game for running archery contests that welcome all classes is also bundled in this supplement.

Dual Competition Systems

Master both the Duke’s Hunt in Silversprings Chase and comprehensive archery competitions. Additionally, the Hunt combines traditional stalking and tracking with driven hunts, while archery contests feature target shooting, wand splitting, and long-range clout shooting for varied skill challenges.

Strategic Hunter Support

In the Duke’s Hunt, hunter characters serve as essential guides and trackers for their knightly companions or patrons. These Dolmenwood hunting rules provide detailed but fast-playing mechanics and specialized encounter tables, allowing hunter players to showcase their wilderness expertise. Consequently, knights succeed or fail based on their hunter’s skill, creating meaningful collaborative gameplay where both characters shine.

Inclusive Tournament Events

While knights receive formal invitations to the Duke’s Hunt, their success depends heavily on skilled companions. Therefore, hunter characters become indispensable advisors, trackers, and wilderness experts. Meanwhile, archery competitions welcome all social classes directly, giving yeoman farmers and veteran hunters their own chance at glory.

Authentic Medieval Activities

Grounded in historical hunting traditions where nobles relied on professional huntsmen and foresters. Moreover, experience how knights must earn their Hunter’s loyalty and trust, while Hunters gain prestige through their patron’s success and recognition for their expertise.

Rich Dolmenwood Integration

Hunt headhogs, trottelings, and false unicorns while avoiding dangerous predators and monsters. These comprehensive Dolmenwood hunting rules feature detailed encounter tables with creatures from the Dolmenwood Monster Book (required for play), ensuring seamless campaign integration.

Multi-Event Archery Competition

Three distinct archery competitions test different skills: precision target shooting, challenging wand shooting, and battlefield-style clout shooting. Similarly, event specialization rules reward focused training while maintaining competitive balance across all participant classes.

Character Development Opportunities

Winners earn the honor of being the Duke’s guest, face time with nobles, and reputation boosts that affect social interactions. As a result, these events provide non-combat advancement paths and relationship-building opportunities.

This excerpt focuses on comprehensive Dolmenwood hunting rules and archery competitions, perfect for Hunter characters and non-combat tournament events. Part of the complete Knights of the Wood: The Duke’s Tourney — Sans AI Edition system.
