Creating an Anima Character
Step 1: Attributes
The first step will be determining which method
will be used to generate your primary
attributes, for the purposes of this guide we will
be using method 5 from the GM guide on page
2. You will be issued 65 points to use to buy
your base attribute scores. The minimum score
you can purchase is 3 and the maximum is 10.
A rank of 5 is the racial average for humans,
while 10 is the peek of a normal humans
potential.

Strength (STR)
Strength defines a characters musculature and
energy. This Characteristic permits you to lift
heavy weights, cause major damage when
hitting, and break objects.
Dexterity (DEX)
Dexterity represents a characters physical skill
and coordination. It affects his ability to make
precise attacks, as well as to block them. Along
with Agility, it also represents his reaction
speed.
Agility (AGI)
Agility represents characters speed of
movement and balance. A high agility makes a
character more acrobatic and able to dodge
attacks. Together with Dexterity, it defines
reaction speed.
Constitution (CON)
Constitution defines the stamina and vitality of
a character, his resistance to disease, and his
ability to absorb damage. A character with a
high Constitution score will have good physical
resistance and will recover from wounds and
sickness. This Characteristic indicates the
amount of damage a character can suffer
before dying.
Intelligence (INT)
Intelligence covers reasoning, learning, and
memory. Intellectual knowledge and logic
depend on it, as does the capacity to
understand and develop spells.
Power (POW)
This represents the state of mind and spiritual
power of a character. The higher it is, the
better the characters ability to influence and
resist the supernatural, as well as stand out in a
crowd.
Willpower (WP)
This Characteristic measures the mental
strength of an individual, his coolness and
tenacity. It is also used to employ and resist
psychic disciplines.
Perception (PER)
This Characteristic encompasses the acuity of
the characters senses, and his ability to notice
what is going on around him. It represents the
five senses, as well as instinct.
For example: A mage wanting to spend 65 point
to build his attributes would do so like this INT
10(11 points), POW 10(11 points), WP 9(9
points), DEX 7(7 points), STR(5 points), AGI 6(6
points), CON 5 (5 points), and PER 10(11 points)
for a total of 65 points spent.
Step 2: Creation Points Step 4: Fatigue

Your character will be provided with three
creation points to use to buy advantages, as
well as the option of selecting up to three
disadvantages to gain additional Creation points
with which to buy advantages.
Fatigue is based on your characters CON score.
Record your fatigue score which will be equal to
your CON score (Score not modifier).
Step 5: Movement

Its worth noting that in order to be able to use Your base move value is based on your

Now each class should have a section labeled
Innate Bonuses . You receive these bonuses
automatically for being level 1.
Using the Warrior for example, they get 15 LP
to be listed under class, +5 Initiative class
bonus, 25 martial knowledge, and one psychic
point (if psychic advantages were taken). In the
Innate Bonus section the warrior also gets 5
attack, 5 block, 5 wear armor, and 5 feats of
strength point to add to its class section for
being level 1.
Step 17: Development points
Every level 1 character get 600 development
point that are used to buy more life point,
combat abilities, magic abilities, psychic abilities
and secondary abilities.
Life Points- Each class should have a life point
multiple listed, the cost listed is how many DP it
takes to add your CON score (score not
modifier) . Using the warrior as an example it
would cost 15 DP to add a Multiple.
Combat ability-Each class will have a cap on
how may DP can be spent on combat abilities,
the base in attack, block, dodge, and wear
armor abilities starts at 0 and is raised based on
the cost listed for the class. Each class has the
option to buy 5 MK points for 5 DP, but you
cannot spend more than 60 DP in this fashion
and it counts toward your cap on combat
abilities.
Supernatural Ability- Each class will have a cap
on how may DP can be spent on supernatural
abilities, the base in projection, summon,
control, bind, and banish abilities starts at 0 and
is raised based on the cost listed for the class.
Each class has the option to buy 5 Magic level
points for 5 DP, but you cannot spend more
than 60 DP in this fashion and it counts toward
your cap on supernatural abilities.
Psychic Abilities- Psychic projection starts with a
base of 0 and is raised based on the cost listed
for the class.
Secondary Abilities- Aside of the five abilities
assigned a base of 10 or modifier bonus earlier
in creation, secondary abilities start with a base
of 0 and are raised based on the cost listed for
the class. Some classes have specific abilities
that can be purchased for a discount. Using the
warrior as an example all Vigor abilities cost 2
DP a point, except for feats of strength which
only cost 1 DP a point.
Step 18: Finial totals
Total your abilities, most will be your base +
attribute modifier + class.

 Fumbles: Animas Botch
You can fumble a roll on any D100 roll that
isnt for resistance tests, Fumble level, or
Critical level. Rolling a 1, 2, or 3 results in
a fumble. To determine your fumble level
roll a D100 and add your fumble modifier.
1 has a modifier of +15, 2 has no modifier,
and 3 has a modifier of -15.
Fumble level
1-50: Simply a failure
51-100: Failure and some form of
negative effect
101+: Tragic failure, Up to the GM
to royally screw you
Ability Mastery-Once you have reached a
score of 200+ in an ability 3 is no longer a
fumble, 2 has a modifier of -15 and 1 no
longer has a modifier.
Spell Casting fumbles-A fumble while using
Magic projection to cast results in the spell
failing and the Zeon being lost. A fumble
level of 90+ results in a spell out of control
with dire consequences for the caster.
Psychic fumbles-The fumble level is
subtracted from your psychic projection roll
worsening the effects.
Summoning fumbles- The fumble level is
subtracted from your summoning roll
worsening the effects.
Combat Fumbles: How you fucked up
The Initiative fumble- when rolling initiative
a fumble simply results in a low score.
However you will suffer a penalty to your
initiative for the purposes of determining
surprise. 1 being -125, 2 being -100, and 3
being -75
The Defensive fumble- When making a
defensive roll resulting in a fumble the
player determines the fumble level and
subtracts that from the value of their
defensive ability. If the fumble level is over
80 the GM is free to add small additions,
such as tripping or being disarmed.
The attack fumble- A fumble on an attack
results in a miss. If the defender has the
option of a counter attack they may add the
fumble level to their attack roll. Fumbling
an attack roll prevents any additional active
action this turn and a fumble over 80 can
result in small additions by the GM, such as
being disarmed or wounding a teammate.
Combat: How to spill blood
Initiative-In order to determine initiative all
combatants roll a D100 and add the result to
their initiative score. Combatants go in
order of highest to lowest Initiative. Those
with a higher score may opt to hold back,
and then act at any time he chooses.
If your finial initiative value is 150+ higher
than your opponents then you have the
element of surprise. Surprised opponents
suffer a -90 penalty to oppose you, If you
opt to hold back you lose this bonus but gain
the ability to act and interrupt the action of a
surprised opponent.
Actions In combat there are several Active
and Passive actions a player can take.
Active actions
Attack an enemy
 Use Active spells, or psychic power
Use Physical abilities
Move more that 25% of your
movement value
Use an active secondary ability
Withdraw from Combat
Passive actions
Defense against an attack (see
multiple defenses)
Draw of unsheathe a weapon (-25 to
attack and block)
Use passive spells or psychic powers
Move less than 25% of your
movement value
Carry out an opposed check
Use a passive secondary ability
Speak
Maximum number of actions-You are
allowed as many passive actions as needed,
but you normally only get one active action.
You can perform additional active actions at
a penalty if you so chose. Your maximum
number of active actions is determined by
your dexterity and agility.
Add your Dex+AG
1-10: 1 action
11-14: 2 actions
15-19: 3 actions
20-22: 4 actions
23-25: 5 actions
26-28: 6 actions
29-31: 8 actions
32+: 10 actions.
You suffer a cumulative -25 penalty for each
action beyond the first. So if you took 4
actions the first would have no penalty, the
second -25, the third -50, and the fourth -75.
Additional attacks-There are a couple of
ways of obtaining additional attacks, the
simplest being to duel wield the other
declaring multiple attacks.
When wielding a weapon in each hand the
player has two attack actions that can be
made. One with the main hand weapon at
no penalty and a second with the offhand at
a -40 penalty (-10 if ambidextrous). This
second attack can be used for a counter
attack.
Declaring multiple attacks is a single active
action that results in multiple blows being
made. For every 100 points you process in
your finial attack score you may make an
additional attack on your Attack action.
Each additional attack declared subtracts 25
points from your final attack ability. These
attacks can be used, or saved for counter
attack during the combat turn.
Putting it all together-For example you
declare one Active action for the turn, that
action being to attack your foe. For you
attack action you declare you will be making
3 attacks. You have final combat score of
210 so 3 is the maximum you can declare.
Because each attack imposes a cumulative -
25 penalty your finial attack ability for these
three attacks will be 135.
For a more complex example. You declare
3 active actions on your turn, Use an active
ability, full movement, attack an enemy. In
your attack you declare to be using 3 attacks
again. You suffer no penalty for the active
ability action, you move, and now you

In addition to Special combat situations
there are also Special purpose attacks.

foregoes any active actions this turn.
Reload-Fired projectile weapons will have a
reload time. This determine how often they
can be fired, for example a reload time of 1
can be used each turn while a reload time of
2 can be used every other turn. The lost turn
is spent reloading the weapon. For every
100 points of attack ability or 100 points of
sleight of hand the player may reduce the
reload time of the weapon by one turn. For
example firing a reload 1 weapon more than
once in a turn or a reload 2 weapon every
turn. Each turn reduced on the reload time
imposes a cumulative -25 penalty. So a
character with sleight of hand 100 can use a
reload 1 bow twice in a turn once at the
normal attack value and a second time at -25
this works similar to the multiple attack
penalties for melee.
Rate of fire-Thrown weapons do not require
reloading, they do however have a rate of
fire. Thrown weapons will have a ROF
score which indicates how many a player
can throw in a turn. For example a ROF 40
weapon can be thrown once for every 40
attack points you have, meaning that a
player with am attack ability score of 120
could throw three of the weapons in a single
turn. Each additional weapon thrown
imposes a -10 penalty. No matter the
thrown score a player can always throw at
least one weapon a turn. Any item with an
unlisted ROF is assumed to be ROF 80.
Magic in combat: No bright wizards!
When blending magic and combat there are
a few differences to be aware of. A magic
user may only cast an active spell on their
turn, regardless of counterattack
opportunities. Magic users use their Magic
Projection score as their attack value.
Unlike melee/ranged when using magic
projection the caster does not suffer from
multiple casting penalties, and only suffers
from vision related penalties from special
combat situations. Magic projection is also
not effected by the projectile modifiers,
Aiming being the exception.
Spell casting is an active action, and
performing multiple active actions still
comes with the standard penalties they do
not apply to the magic projection rolls. It is
worth noting that mages that are required to
gesticulate reduce their MA by half is taking
other actions.
Magic shields-Some casters have the option
to summon forth magical shields to help
defend themselves. The caster defends
themselves using the shield by rolling a
D100 and adding that to their magic
projection. Magic shields do not suffer
penalties for additional defenses and are
only subject to the penalties from surprise,
put at weapons point, vision partially
obscured, and vision totally obscured. Any
counter attack bonus gained using a shield is
not added to magic projection, but can be
used with other abilities. For example a
warlock uses a shield to block an attack and
applies the counter attack bonus to a melee
strike.
A shield that stops an attack is dealt the base
damage of the blow, and a blow strong
enough to shatter a shield continues on to hit
the caster using the left over base damage to
determine the finial damage of the attack.
Example a shield that can take 30 damage is
used to stop an attack with a base of 70, the
attack shatters the shield leaving 40 carry
over that can be effected by the damage
modifiers granted by the combat chart.
As an active action the shield can be used to
cover others. The caster suffers a -40 to
their magic projection score when defending
another in this fashion. If the shield fails to
stop the attack then it continues normally
and the defender can attempt their own
means of evasion.
Note: Physic shields work in the same
manner substituting Psychic projection for
magic projection.
Casting a Spell-Magic users will have a
Zeon pool, which can be thought of as a
mana pool and a Magic Accumulation score
(MA). The MA score represents how much
Zeon a caster can access in one turn. Using
your MA is a passive action however there
are a few things to note. Performing any
other action on the same turn that MA is
being used reduces the MA value by 50%.
The caster also needs to be able to chant and
gesture with both hands being unable to do
so also reduces their MA by 50%. So if
your MA value is 100 and you take an active
action the same turn as you use your MA
then the MA value would be 50, additionally
if you did not chant(-50%) and gesture (-
50%) then your finial MA value would be
13.
Accumulating Pure Magic-When the player
uses MA they do not have to declare a spell,
they can opt to simply begin to build a pool
of accumulated Zeon to be used on any
spell. When accumulating pure magic the
caster is not allowed to stop accumulating
until a spell has been cast, stopping returns
all Zeon to the casters reserve and they lose
10 points. After casting a spell any unspent
Zeon return to the casters reserve at the end
of the turn.
Accumulating a specific spell-Just as a caster
can draw pure Zeon they can also prepare a
specific spell. When doing so the player
declares the spell and the intended potency
when they start using their MA. All Zeon
gathered go toward the casting of this spell,
the difference in this method is that after
gathering the needed Zeon the caster may
hold the spell for a number of turns equal
to their Power characteristic. Once this
hold has expired the spell must be released
or the caster can return the Zeon to their
reserve loosing 10 Zeon in the process.
Once a spell is on hold the caster may begin
MA for an additional spell while holding the
current spell.
Damage while Accumulating-If the player
takes damage while using their MA they
risking loosing the Zeon gathered. Keeping
the Zeon requires a withstand pain check
with a difficulty equal to 2x the damage they
received, if the caster fails the roll by an
amount greater than or equal to the base
damage of the attack then the Zeon points
are lost completely. Preparing a specific
spell adds a +40 bonus to this roll.
Using Magic Projection-Magic projection is
used in much the same way as the ranged
attack ability in that the success level is also
tied to the maximum range. Casting a spell
on anyone the caster in is physical contact
with adds a +40 bonus to the Magic
projection roll.

Zeon Recovery-Casters regain their MA in
Zeon points a day. Players with the gift can
exchange Zeon by touch, with the giver
transferring his MA in Zeon points a turn.
Some magical devices are also able to store
Zeon.
KI: YAY Spirit Bomb!
Ki Accumulation- Much like MA Ki
accumulation is a passive action. The player
can choose to accumulate from as many or
as few of their Ki pools as they want on any
given turn. If the player takes any other
actions then their Ki accumulation value is
halved, However if the additional action is
tied to the activation of a Ki ability then the
players Ki accumulation is not halved. If
the player stops accumulating Ki for one
turn the collected points must be spent or
return to his Ki pools at the end of the turn.
Gathering 20 or more total Ki points renders
the players aura visible.
Just like with magic a Ki user can declare a
Ki ability before gathering Ki and once he
has enough the ability can be placed on
hold. Each turn on hold costs a number of
generic Ki equal to the Ki ability level.
Ki recovery-Ki points are regained at a rate
of one point every hour.
Psychic Powers: Big heads
Using psychic abilities works in a similar
manner as magic. The player has a Psychic
projection score they use to direct their
psychic abilities. Unlike magic there are
also two additional aspects of psychic usage
to be aware of, Psychic potential and
psychic points.
Psychic projection-Like magic the only
penalties that apply to psychic projection are
vision partially obscured and vision totally
obscured. As with magic and ranged
attacks, the range is also determined by the
level of success.
Just as casters and ranged fighter can aim a
psychic can concentrate in an effort to boost
their psychic potential.
Concentration
1 turn +10
3 turns +20
5 turns +30
1 minute +40
1 hour +50
Failure and Fatigue-Some powers exert
great power on the mind, and a failure when
using them takes a harsh toll on the psychic.
If the far right effects column lists a fatigue
value rolling within that range has a psychic
backlash on the player. The fatigue value is
the number of free PP lost due to mental
strain. Once the character is out of PP they
lose fatigue points. If the character Fatigue
drops to 0 or below due to Psychic fatigue
they suffer shock requiring a PsR check (-10
penalty for every negative fatigue point)
difficulty 100(120 if -6+ fatigue) to avoid
falling into a coma that lasts a number of
days equal to the failure level. Failing this
check by more than 80 points is fatal.
Difficulty and Range
Routine: The caster
Easy: 15ft
Moderate: 80ft
Difficult: 300
Very Difficult: 800
Absurd: 1500ft
Almost Impossible: 1mile (can target
those beyond eyesight if the targets
exact location is known)
Impossible: up to 10miles (only need
to know the approximate location)
Psychic Potential-Psychic potential
represents the players potency with psychic
abilities; it also determines the maximum
number of psychic actions a player can take
in a single turn. Psychic have psychic
potential is a bonus pool that can be divided
up amongst psychic activations. All psychic
projection roll must have at minimum a +10
bonus from psychic potential, in this way it
also acts as the determining factor in how
many psychic abilities can be used in a turn.
For example if a psychic had a psychic
potential of +60, that means that they could
make one roll at +60, or two rolls at +25 and
+35, or six rolls at +10 with six being the
maximum number of psychic actions they
can take. Performing additional non-psychic
active actions before using psychic powers
imposes a cumulative -25 penalty to psychic
potential for each active action performed.
Performing an active action after using
psychic powers suffers a flat -25 penalty.
Psychic points- Know as PP psychic points
are wild cards that help to flesh out your
psychic powers. PP can be used in a
permanent fashion to develop powers or a
temporary fashion for short bonus and
boosts. PP is regained at 1 point an hour.

Invocation: Are you there, its me Ash?
Invocations request the aid of beings too
powerful to be summoned and controlled.
In order to receive the power from an
invocation the player must spend the Zeon
action or an active action depending on the
nature of the invocation. The summon roll
is effected by time spent preparing the
summon but not by the additional
modifiers.
Familiars: Being a true pet class
To obtain a familiar the summoner must find
a being whose presence is with 5 points of
their own and get its consent (or force it
with a control action). The summoner then
makes a Bind check treating the being as
being two levels higher than what it
currently is and investing 10x the Zeon. The
familiar automatically consumes half the
Zeon it would take to keep such a creature
bound each day.

any action other than escaping the source of
the fear. Fear lasts for one hour for every 10
points of failure on the resistance roll.
Terror-Player is forced to flee the source of
terror. Terror lasts for one hour for every 10
points of failure on the resistance roll.
Pain-Player can suffer pain after failing a
resistance check resulting in a -40 action
penalty.
Weakness-Player looses one point from
strength, dexterity, agility, and constitution
for every 10 points of failure on the
resistance test. The penalty fades at one
point an hour.
Paralysis-Player suffers partially
immobilized or mostly immobilized
penalties depending on the level of
paralysis.
Total paralysis/Incapacitation-The player is
unable to move and suffers the effect of total
immobilization. No actions are allowed in
this state. Lasts for one hour for every 10
points of failure on the resistance test.
Rage-Player attacks the target of his rage,
and any target after that using his most
powerful attacks. The player will use as
many fatigue/PP points as possible. This
lasts for one minute for every 10 points of
failure on the resistance test.
Coma-Player is incapacitated.
Blindness-Player suffers vision totally
obscured penalties. Blindness caused by a
flash of light only uses vision partially
obscured. Blindness lasts for one hour for
every 10 points of failure on the resistance
test.
Deafness/Mute-Lasts one hour for every 10
points of failure on the resistance test.
Fascination-Player will not perform any
active actions and suffers -20 to all passive
actions.
Unconsciousness-The player is unconscious,
this lasts for one hour for every 10 points of
failure on the resistance test. If the failure
level is less than 10 they are unconscious for
a number of minutes equal to the failure
level.
Hallucinations-Lasts fro one hour for every
10 points of failure on the resistance test.
Traps: ITS A TRAP!
Traps have two values; Complexity and
Concealment. Complexity is how difficult it
is to disarm or avoid the trap. Concealment
how hard it is to spot the trap (using the
search skill lowers the difficulty by one
level). Most traps Complexity level and
concealment level are the same, but it is
possible to shift the level. For example a
level 40 trap has 40 for both its complexity
and concealment, the person laying the trap
may opt to have the complexity be 50 and
the concealment be 30.
Trapping-Traps intended to imprison
victims have a strength score for a trapping
check equal to the complexity divided by 5.
Pit-Pit traps use falling damage
Damage-These traps deal direct damage,
using the complexity of the trap as the attack
score, with a base damage equal to the level
of the trap.
Poison: Sweet 80s rock
Poisons use a level system rating them from
10-100, the level determining the difficulty
of the VR check to resist the poison. Poison
level is comprised of three factors;
Activation time, duration, and effect.
Default poison has a base activation time of
one hour and a duration equal to the VR
failure level in hours. Players must make a
VR check every 5 turns. Beings with poison
immunity are not effected by poisons level
70 or below.
Antidotes-Antidotes use the same level
system as poisons. Ingesting an antidote
allows the player to make one new VR test
with a bonus or penalty equal to 2x the
difference in level between the poison and
antidote. Specific antidotes always cure the
position they are made for.
Disease: STAAAAAARS
Sickness works in much the same way as
poison only requiring a DR check to avoid
suffering the effects. The player must make
a DR check daily until they beat the roll by
40+.
Weapons: Sharp pointy bits!
The following section will serve as a
reference for issues dealing with weapons.
Can you use it?-The player starts the game
only knowing how to use one weapon. They
can attempt to use other weapons but suffer
penalties for being untrained. New weapon
types can be learned by purchasing weapon
modules, pg 56.
Similar: Player knows one weapon
of the same class
Mixed-class: Player knows how to
use one of the listed weapon classes
Different class/unarmed: Player is
unskilled in the weapons use
Type Penalty
Similar weapon -20
Mixed class -40
Different class/unarmed -60
Blocking and dodging -60
Hows it work?- Some items will have
special tags
Precision-This allows the player to halve the
penalties to land directed attacks or to put
someone at weapons point.
Two-handed Weapons-These must be
wielded with both hands. The players
strength bonus is doubled when applying to
damage.
One or Two handed-These can be wielded
with one or two hands, using two hands
double the strength bonus for damage. The
required strength will be listed showing the
minimum for using two handed and the
minimum for using one handed.
Complex-These can fumble of a roll of 1-5.
Mastery removes the complex tag.
Throwable-These weapons can be used as a
thrown weapon.
Trapping-These weapons allow the user to
attempt the trapping maneuver. For every
+5 to the quality on a trapping weapon add a
-1 bonus to the opposed check.
Trapping weapon-This weapon allows the
player to forego a counter attack to make a
standard disarm attempt.
Unarmed: Be like Chuck Norris
Martial arts modules expand on the combat
prowess a player has with their feet and fist.
For every 40 points in their attack and
defense abilities a player may purchase a
martial art for 50 dp (25 dp for Tao). At
creation if the player forgoes knowing how
to wield a weapon and selects unarmed as
their default attack then they may buy their
first martial art for 25 dp(10 dp for Tao).
The bonuses for attack and defensive
abilities combined with any innate class
bonuses to attack and defense cap at +50. A
martial artist may cherry pick the effects
he wants from each martial art known.
Armor: Tanking 101
Can you wear it?-Armor has a armor
requirement value. In order to wear the
armor without issue you mush have a
sufficient wear armor ability. If your wear
armor score is too low, the difference
between the armor requirement and your
wear armor score is treated as a penalty to
all physical actions.
Armor is heavy and even with the minimum
wear armor score can slow you down. All
armor has a natural penalty and a movement
penalty. For every point over the armor
requirement you have you may negate one
point of the natural penalty, and for every 50
point over you may negate one movement
penalty.
Layering-The player may layer armor to
provide a better defense. Only one Hard
armor may be worth, and up to two soft
armors. Each layer beyond the first imposes
a -20 penalty to initiative and certain
secondary abilities regardless of your wear
armor score. When layering armor the
armor requirements are cumulative. For
example wearing a soft armor requiring
wear armor 10 and a hard armor requiring
70 would require a wear armor score of 80
to avoid penalties.
Armor may cover the chest, chest and arms,
or whole body (minus the head). The head
will require a helmet.
Helmets-Helmets can also impose a
perception penalty; this cannot be negated
with a higher wear armor score.
Shields-Shields will add a bonus to
defensive abilities, and can be used for
impact attacks. Using a shield to make an
impact attack removes its defensive bonuses
for the turn.
Damage Resistance: LP Over 9000
Damage resistance has special rules; here
are a few of those rules.
Regeneration-Damage resistance creature
LP regen index is multiplied by 5.
Disable attacks-Do not work against
damage resistance creatures.
Large Target-Ranged attacks do not get the
large target modifier for damage resistance
creatures.

 Artifact Creation Rules
For the purposes of our games I am
going to rank artifacts on a scale of one to
five. The artifact perk will remain
unchanged in the core book as rank four and
five are out of reach of starting characters.
Choosing the level:
The first step to creating your artifact is
going to be selecting the Artifact Rank. For
every rank an artifact has it receives a +5
quality bonus as per the rules on page 67 of
the core book. The artifact will also receive
DP to use to flesh out the actual powers.
Rank 1: 50DP
Rank 2: 100DP
Rank 3: 200DP
Rank 4: 400DP
Rank 5: 800DP
Choosing the Form:
The next step will be to choose the
base form. When choosing a weapon or
armor as the base form note the normal
presence of the item as listed in the
equipment section on tables: 26, 27, 28, 29,
31, 32, and 35. Once you have the base
form apply the quality bonuses based on the
rules from page 67.
When choosing something not
included on the above tables than use tables
77 and 78 on page 218 to estimate the base
presence (with GM approval). Once you
have the base form we have to apply the
quality bonuses from page 67, but we run
into a small snag; the rules state that the
item receives +10 to the ability when using
the item. This is where a bit of
interpretation comes into play, a +10 crown
isnt going to add +20 to your wear crown
skill; however it would be thematically
correct to add +20 to any of the following:
Style, Leadership, or Persuasion. Basically
the ability bonus will be based on an ability
thematically appropriate to the form, for
example a wand adding a bonus to magic
projection, or an old church relic adding a
bonus to banish.
Choosing Additional Abilities:
Now it is time to start spending the
DP gained from your artifacts level.
Additional skill bonuses can be purchased at
the same rate as the freelancer class (2DP
per point) for the following skills: Attack,
Block, Dodge, Wear Armor, Magic
Projection, Summon, Control, Bind, Banish,
Psychic Projection, and all secondary
abilities.
You can only buy a bonus to an
ability that was not granted a bonus from
quality. For example you cannot buy more
attack and block for weapons, or more Wear
Armor for armor (the -5 armor requirement
bonus counts as+5 Wear Armor in this
case).
Choosing Mystic Object Powers:
You will see the core book reference
a few different types of mystic objects:
Magic containers (page 111), Magic
Amplifiers (page 112), and Psychic crystals
(page 211). These minor powers can be
mimicked by artifacts as well. These come
with all the bonuses and potential drawbacks
described.
+5 Zeon storage: 2DP
+1 MA Multiple: 60DP
+5 Psychic Potential: 60DP
Choosing Major Powers:
You may now pick out any major
powers offered to your character by the
artifact, use youre remaining DP to buy
creature powers from page 286-296. When
selecting powers treat the artifact as having
its rank x5 in gnosis (this is not actual gnosis
but rather simply to determine if its eligible
for a power).
 Accursed Items

With GM approval you may be able

to create a cursed item. These items may be
the product of a dark history, or dark design.
Often if subtle enough a wielder may not
even be aware that the item bears some sort
of curse.
Cursed items are made the same way
normal artifacts are, the exception being that
various disadvantages maybe taken granting
additional DP but applying any
disadvantages directly to the owner. The
standard disadvantages from page 285,
Penalty to Mystic Resistance page 291,
Degeneration page 292, and Extreme
Vulnerability page 292 maybe used. You
may also use Bad Luck, Unfortunate,
Exhausted, Unlucky Destiny, and Damned
gaining a number of DP equal to the CP
bonus x10

Bane Items

Bane items are things of pure malice. Bane

items have nothing but disadvantages. For
the purpose of crafting a bane item treat the
DP bonus of a disadvantage as its cost.
Rank 1 Bane Item: 25DP
Rank 2 Bane Item: 50DP
Rank 3 Bane Item: 100DP
Rank 4 Bane Item: 200DP
Rank 5 Bane Item: 400DP
