Exaltations
Power stat maximum cannot be higher than level. Resource points can be spent in the following ways, in addition to Exalt-specific uses:
 Heal 1 Hit Point (out of combat only)
 Gain +1k0 to a skill Test
 Gain a reaction action
 Recover from being Stunned or Dazed.
No more resource points can be spent in a round than dots in the Power stat.
Exalts also have a specific set of Assets they can purchase. No more than one Exalt Asset can be purchased for a character.
If playing without Exalts, each character has a Resource pool called Effort, equal to Level + highest stat. Max spend/round = Level.
Atlantean
Powers:
 Magical Aptitude: Start with 1 free rank in any Magical School; purchase ranks in that school as if they appeared in any class progression
for the character. When rolling for Psychic Phenomena, roll twice and choose either or both effects.
 Prestidigitation: perform minor magical tricks as a half action.
 Past Lives: treat all skills as Basic. Begin with Speak Language (Syrneth).
 Paradox: when spending a Mote, gain 1 paradox. For each 9 kept on a magic test forces the character to unravel 1 paradox as a free action
(see below). To regain spent Motes, eliminate the paradox caused by their use, in one of two ways:
o Meditate for 1 hour to bleed out the excess warp taint in a dramatic but safe way.
o Spend a free action and roll for Psychic Phenomena.
Power stat = Gnosis. Resource Stat: Motes (CHA+INT+Gnosis×2).
1. Ancient Style: three skills have their cap increased to 6 dots, and you gain specialty (Syrneth) in each.
2. Empower Spell: spend 1 Mote to treat level and rank of Magic Schools as +3 for purposes of the next spell cast.
3. Excellence: spent 2 Motes in place of a Hero Point for any skill in which you have a specialisation.
4. Maximize Spell: before casting the spell, spend any number of Motes. Each Mote spent sets one die rolled to 10.
5. Quicken Spell: spend 1 Mote to cast a spell as a free action.
Chosen
Powers:
 Conviction: your Faith is capped at ½ Devotion as well as level. If your Faith is dropped below purchased level, higher powers are lost.
 Redeemed: if Faith is 2+, you can burn 1 Faith instead of a Hero point to survive.
 Divine Power: spend 1 Favour to replace any one rolled die with a 10 (not on Alignment Checks).
 Leeway: as long as you are pursuing the plans of your God, you get a bonus on Alignment Checks equal to Faith.
Power stat = Faith. Resource stat = Favour (Devotion + Faith), regained by special ritual.
1. Overbeing: gain an Aura equal to Faith×2.
2. Divine Protection: for first critical damage each round, roll d10 under Devotion to prevent the critical damage.
3. Prayer Strip: create a Prayer strip during ritual (max 1 per day, max total = Faith). It can be used as a Faith point, by you or any creature
you consider an ally.
4. Trial of Faith: whenever you keep at least one 1 on a dangerous test, recover 1 Favour.
5. Demigod: spend 1 Favour to add +10 to a test result (instead of +1k0).
Daemonhost
Powers:
 Demonic Tutor: start with 1 free rank in any Magical School; purchase ranks in this school as if it appeared in any of your class
progressions.
 Unholy Might: spend 1 Essence to add your Arcanoi rank to the rank of your Magical School for 1 test.
 Rejected by Creation: spend Essence turns into Resonance. To convert Resonance back into Essence, test Willpower TN 10 +
2/Resonance (free action). If the test fails, lose 1hp & convert 1 Resonance to Essence, then repeat if Resonance remains; if test passes,
convert 1 Resonance to Essence. For each 9 kept on a magic test, make a test as above immediately.
 Feeding: Daemonhosts have a Bite weapon (1k1 R; Melee; Brawling). For every hit point of damage they inflict with this weapon, convert
one Resonance to Essence.
Power stat = Arcanoi. Resource stat = Essence (WILL+CHA+Arcanoi×2).
1. Daemonic: reduce damage taken by CON+Arcanoi (except magical and silver damage).
2. Unnatural Characteristics: Characteristics may go to 6 dots.
3. Scorn Earth: you may hover at will, moving at normal speed in all directions.
4. Not of This World: ignore non-fatal effects of Critical Damage chart results.
5. Black Miracle: when a Daemonhost is killed, if a ritual is not performed (and not foiled by the Daemonhost burning a Hero point), the
Daemonhost reforms in a new vessel with the same stats after 1 week per Resonance in the Warp. Appearance can change or not.
Paragon
Powers:
 Destiny: +2 Hero Points
 Statuesque: +1 to a racial stat you haven’t chosen from your race.
 Flash: you are never surprised, and are aware of every attack directed at you.
 Perfection: gain one feat that has your race as a prerequisite.
Power stat = Excellence. Resource stat = Action Points (Level + Excellence), refreshed every session.
1. Under Pressure: At the start of each scene, gain Pressure Points = Excellence×3. Spend any number on a test to add +1 to the result.
Whenever an opponent spends a Resource Point, Pressure Point, or a Hero Point, or you lose Hit Points, recover a Pressure Point.
2. Swift as the Coursing River: after succeeding on a 2+-die stunt, recover 1 Action Point.
3. All the Force of a Great Typhoon: in battle, recover Pressure Points = Excellence at the start of each turn.
4. Strength of a Raging Fire: dice also explode on 9s.
5. Mysterious as the Dark Side of the Moon: whenever a Paragon uses a stunt on a test and succeeds, all allies attempting the same test gain a
bonus to their result equal to the Pressure Points the Paragon spent on their test.
Promethean
Powers:
 Living Construct: immune to Fatigue, Poison, and Disease; no need to Eat, Drink, Sleep, or Breathe. Cannot use a Bionic Heart.
 Refitting: no natural healing, or spending Pyros to heal. To repair: Craft + INT, TN 15 (if lightly wounded), 20 (if heavily wounded) or 25
(if critically wounded). A successful test recovers 1HP and takes 1 hour. Lost limbs need to be repaired (TN 25 ×5 tests).
 Disquiet: Prometheans take -2k1 on all social rolls against non-exalts, partially as a result of machine-like appearance.
 Superlative Constitution: track critical damage to each limb separately (5 destroys limb). Only critical damage to Gizzards is lethal. If
Head or Body destroyed, Promethean is unconscious until repaired.
Power stat = Generation (can only be increased at place of birth). Resource stat = Pyros (Generation×3).
1. Integrated Armour: armour = Generation + 3. Armour proficiency feats on class lists are counted as optional.
2. Integrated Weapons: integrate a number of weapons = Generation on body. Draw as free action. These weapons can’t be found normally.
3. Transhuman Potential: spend Pyros to boost a Characteristic by +1/Pyros for 1 test or 1 round (whichever is longer).
4. Recharge: for each damage taken from an E-type source recover 1 Pyros.
5. Warstrider: for 1 scene per day, double size and get +3 dots in physical Characteristics. Integrated weapons deal +1k1 damage due to
increased size.
Vampire
Powers:
 Old Money: +4 dots to spend on backgrounds.
 Undead Resilience: Undead, can’t be killed by critical damage, unless that comes from an E, X, silver, or magical source. Lethal Impact or
Rending damage renders the vampire unconscious until they spend enough blood to heal the Critical Damage beyond lethal levels.
 Sunlight Weakness: lose 1HP per round while in sunlight. Critical damage uses the E chart, and ignores armour. A vampire killed by
sunlight damage is turned to dust, and cannot be returned from the dead. Sun shades are sufficient protection, although they leave the
vampire uncomfortable.
 Blood Dependency: a vampire must spend 1 Vitae per day to remain active; otherwise, they lapse into a coma. Use Bite weapon (1k1 R;
Melee; Brawling) to drain 1 Vitae and give the victim 1 level of fatigue. A vampire may be fed blood while unconscious. Feeding from an
unconscious victim is limited to 1 Vitae; more immediately kills the victim.
Power stat = Blood Potency. Resource stat = Vitae (Blood Potency×5).
1. Auspex: can see in the dark; +1k0 to all perception tests.
2. Dread: spend 1 Vitae to gain Fear 1 until the end of the scene.
3. Celerity: spend 1 Vitae to gain an extra half action.
4. Potence: spend 1 Vitae to gain +3 Strength until the end of the scene.
5. Dominate: use Dominate (as the spell) by testing Blood Potency + Charisma, instead of the normal test.
Werewolf
Powers:
 Shifting: as a full action, change to Wolf Form or Warform.
o Wolf Form: +1k1 to all scent-based perception tests. +2 DEX, -1 Size, Bite weapon (1k1 R; Melee; Brawling).
o Warform: spend 1 Rage to enter form, maintain for only CON + Feral Heart. Can only attack or move towards an opponent. Gain
Stuff of Nightmares, +2 STR, +2 Size, +2 CON, Claw natural weapon (1k1 R; Melee; Brawling) & Bite (2k1 R; Melee; Brawling).
Weapons count as magical. If armour is not removed, it breaks and deals damage to the werewolf equal to its AP.
 Lycan Resilience: gain Armour Points = Feral Heart in Wolf Form & Warform. Can’t be killed by critical damage, except from E, X,
silver, or magical sources. Otherwise, this damage just knocks them unconscious until critical damage is regenerated. A werewolf may
spend Rage to recover HP in combat as a free action.
 Spirit Tongue: begin play with Speak Language (Spirits) feat.
 Silver Bane: halve size when calculating HP lost from silver weapons.
Power stat = Feral Heart. Resource stat = Rage (COMP+WILL+Level); regain Rage = Feral Heart at the start of each combat, and each night
when the moon rises.
1. Fast Healing: heal 1HP per round while in Wolf Form of Warform, except damage dealt by E, X, silver, or magic. Critical damage is
healed 1/hour.
2. Spirit Sight: can see into the spirit world (Feral Heart + WIS to activate). Lasts until end of scene. See any lingering magical auras, and
traces of major events that may have taken place there.
3. Quick Shift: shift as a half action instead of full action.
4. Sacred Hunt: spend ~6 hours on hunting a superlative example of an animal (without resting until the hunt is complete). Once they have
drunk of the heart’s blood of their prey, they may assume the precise form of that animal by spending 2 Rage.
5. Spirit Walk: enter the Umbra (Feral Heart + WIS vs TN 20+) via a reflective surface. Beings holding the werewolf’s hand can come. The
Umbra is a dangerous, spirit-haunted parallel world.
Classes
Characters can only advance Characteristics and Skills in their class list. Class list can’t be changed until all class feats not marked optional (*)
have been taken. Once a class is completed, get the Completion Bonus listed. A character’s level is equal to their highest level class. A
character can’t take a class that is more than 1 higher than their current highest class.
Free Study: After finishing a class, a character can enter Free Study before declaring their next class. While in Free Study, the character can
spend XP normally on the characteristics, skills, sword schools & gun kata, and optional feats of previous classes, and spend XP to improve
other characteristics and skills at double the price. You can’t buy feats that aren’t on your class lists. (! Feats for new pre-requisites at x2)

Devotion and Deities
Alignment begins at 6.
To make an Alignment Check, roll a d10, modified by any bonuses or penalties. If the result is ≥ Devotion, the check is successful and nothing
happens. Otherwise, Devotion drops by 1; if Devotion drops to ≤ 6, check Devotion again or take a Degeneration (which is cured when
Devotion is improved above that level).
When changing alignment to a new deity in the same pantheon, reduce Devotion by 2. When changing alignment to a new pantheon, set
Devotion to 4, and roll a Degeneration for Devotion 7. A character can only change alignment once, and only for strong reasons.
The Ruinous Powers
 Khorne (battle): Spill blood in his name. Do not trust in sorcery, and do not seek to learn its secrets. Fight in honourable combat.
 Slaanesh (excess): Turn away from no new experience. Stand out from those around you. Tempt others with what you enjoy.
 Tzeentch (change): Be flexible in your plans. Change what you don’t like about yourself. Follow your own goals.
 Nurgle (despair): Don’t bother seeking help. You can only escape suffering through faith. Be kind to those who are facing death.
 Malal (destruction): Hate gives you strength. Destruction is the fate of all that exists. Betrayal can get you what you want.
The Blessed Pantheon
 Sigmar (civilization): Work with others to achieve your goals. Tame the wilderness, and defend the light of civilization. Seek out new
ideas, new inventions, new lands…
 Bahamut (justice): Uphold the highest ideals of honour and justice. Be constantly vigilant against evil. Protect the weak and oppressed.
 Pelor (mercy): Alleviate suffering wherever you find it. Show kindness, mercy, and compassion. Be watchful against evil.
 Moradin (stability): Meed adversity with stoicism and tenacity. Demonstrate loyalty. Strive to leave a lasting legacy.
 Cuthbert (honesty): Your word is your bond. Never let your fear control you. Repay betrayal with the sword.
The Gray Council
 Acerak (magic): Seek the perfection of your mind. Accumulate, preserve, and keep secret knowledge. Never reveal all that you know.
 The Raven Queen (death): Hold no pity for the dead. Punish hubris where you find it. Keep to the shadows.
 Luna (change): Change is inevitable: seek to make it good. Strike against those who steal freedom. Live in harmony with the wild.
 Corellon (excellence): Cultivate beauty in all you do. Seek out lost and forgotten works & knowledge. Show no pity or mercy.
 Vectron (whatever you need right now): Do not question his validity as a god. There is no problem that cannot be solved by praising
Vectron loudly and trying again. Make sure people know that Vectron helped you.

Attack Sequence
 The attacker makes a test against the target’s Static Defence (SD). Test skill, +(level)k0 if proficient. The target may use their reaction to
Dodge or Parry – if they roll higher than the attack, roll, the attack is negated.
 Roll for hit location: 1= L leg, 2=R leg, 3-6=body, 7=gizzards, 8=L arm, 9=R arm, 10=head
 The attacker rolls for damage (+(STR)k0 if melee). Subtract Armour Points (AP) or Aura as applicable from the damage, then divide the
remaining damage by the target’s Resilience. The result is the number of Hit Points (HP) the target loses.
Health and Injury
When a character runs out of hit points, further damage is taken as Critical Damage, which has various effects depending on hit location.
 A Lightly Wounded character (≤ WILL HP lost) heals 1HP/day, or CON×HP with a full day of bed rest.
 A Heavily Wounded character (> WILL HP lost) heals 1HP/ week, or CON×HP with a full week of bed rest.
 A Critically Wounded character (HP are negative) heals 1HP/week only with rest and medical attention.
Critical Damage
After a character is out of Hit Points, further Hit Points they would lose is applied as Critical Damage. The effects of Critical Damage varies,
depending on the damage type, the hit location, and the total amount of Critical Damage. 5 is always lethal ().
