Should also have noted that only elves can split-move and fire and that I tweaked a bit the percentages of the "avoiding monsters" rules. Will add that in v1.2.

Peut-être que je ferai une version française éventuellement. Published hastily in preparation of the Draconis convention next week. Page theme and some adjustments to come later.
