5.0 Rulebook
This page lists content from rulebook version 5.0. The current rulebook is version Rulebook 8.6.3.
It is worthwhile to note that whilst wiki-fyng the rulebook does make information easier to find it also makes that information about as honest and accurate as that page’s last updater. This section of the Amtwiki is meant as a guide, not the absolute last word on the rules. For complete rules listing, please visit the Amtgard Documents page.

The rulebook in play around 1987.
Main differences between 5.0 and 6.0 were that back then, Bards didn't have a regular spell list, instead had a bunch of non-magical abilities. When the conversion came to 6.0 they also had to pay spell points for their weapons, which was a major change for them, as before they could take whatever they wanted without reducing their spellcasting.
This was the last time any classes had guildmaster perks. 1987 5.0 PDF
