Introduction Chapter 1: Races

This is product comes from a desire to play in the
pathfinder world with the simplicity of a system that
FFG made know as Genesys. My aim for this PDF is to
provide the stats for the Equipment, Spells and
Creatures that make up the Pathfinder world. Not to
convert rules that existed in pathfinder but take full
advantage of the Genesys narrative gameplay while
making any new rules light weight so as not to infringe
on the spirit of the Genesys System.
The races presented are converted by representing the
pathfinder bonuses for a starting race as much as
possible without making them too expensive to start, It
isn't an exact science but at the end of each race
conversion I add a section called Conversion Info. This
is a brief explanation and thought process behind each
change in exp cost.

My Experience with RPGs (In case your interested)

Firstly I started playing RPGs at my friends house with
2nd edition. After that I was hooked on this type of
gaming. I ran a lot of Dnd 3.0 and 3.5, both as a player
and as GM. Naturally I was excited when 4th edition
DnD came out. I soon came to be disenchanted with it
as I found that a Paladin of 1st level could start out with
Full Plate armor with his starting money and the focus
was on magic items more than mundane. After that I
switched to the Hero System and loved the Generic
RPG system that allowed me so much freedom. Some
time after I herd about Pathfinder and the Rise of the
Rune Lord Adventure Path and wanted to run it only it
was in a system at the time that wasn't my favorite. I
began the work of converting the Pathfinder system to
Hero System so we could rune that adventure. After I
had enough to start the 1st part it was too rules heavy
and bogged down game play a lot and I gave up. At
Collage I found another favorite, Edge of the Empire

Dwarf
3 2 2 2 3 1
• Starting Wound Threshold: 11 + Brawn
• Starting Strain Threshold: 11 + Willpower
• Starting Experience: 50 XP
• Special Abilities: Dwarves begin the game
with one rank in Resilience. They still may not
train Survival above rank 2 during character
creation.
• Darkvision:This species has excellent night
vision. When making skill checks, it removes
up to s s imposed due to darkness.
• Stonecunning: Dwarves receive a s on
Perception checks to potentially notice unusual
stonework, such as traps and hidden doors
located in stone walls or floors. They receive a
check to notice such features whenever they
pass within short range of them, whether or
not they are actively looking.
• Greed: Dwarves receive a s on Knowledge
skill checks made to determine the price
of nonmagical goods that contain precious
metals or gemstones
Conversion Info:
Characteristics (100xp). Dwarves are naturally more
hardy and so makes sense to have an +1 to wound
threshold (-5xp). To help sell the toughness of a
Dwarfs Constitution I give them a starting rank in
Resilience. Usually at least one free rank is offered in
something for races and so costs nothing (0xp).
Darkvision (-5xp). Since Stonecunning and Greed are
both so circumstantial I lowered the cost (-5xp)
Elf
1 3 3 2 2 2
• Starting Wound Threshold: 9 + Brawn
• Starting Strain Threshold: 10 + Willpower
• Starting Experience: 50 XP
• Special Abilities: Elves begin the game with
one rank in Perception or Vigilance. They still
may not train Perception or Vigilance above
rank 2 during character creation.
• Low-Light Vision:When making skill checks,
it removes up to s imposed due to darkness.
• Elven Immunities: Elves are immune to
magic sleep effects. Also when targeted by
spells and effects add a s to the casters roll.
• Elven Magic: Elves receive a s when using a
Magic Skill checks.
Conversion Info:
Characteristics (100xp). Elves are naturally weaker
than normal and gave them -1 Wound Threshold
(+5xp). To reflect the elves ability to sense things I
gave the play a choice between Perception or
Vigilance(0XP). It didn't seem fair to charge the same
amount of xp for Low-light vision as someone with
darkvision so I let this one slide (0xp). Elven
immunites has 2 bonus in one and thought the amount
of xp appropriate (-10xp). The ability to give a s to all
magic checks is a big deal and should be treated as
such.(-15xp
Gnome
1 2 2 2 2 3
• Starting Wound Threshold: 11 + Brawn
• Starting Strain Threshold: 10 + Willpower
• Starting Experience: 75 XP
• Special Abilities: Gnomes begin the game
with one rank in Perception or Vigilance. They
still may not train Perception or Vigilance
above rank 2 during character creation
• Low-Light Vision:When making skill checks,
it removes up to s s imposed due to
darkness.
• Defensive Training: Monsters of the giant
type get a s when attacking Gnomes.
• Illusion Resistance: When Gnomes are
targeted by an illusion spell or effects, it's
attack receives a s.
• Obsessive: Gnomes receive a s on a Craft
related skill checks.
• Silhouette: 0.
Conversion Info: Characteristics (100xp). Since a
Gnome has a Brawn of 1, I gave them a +1 Wound
Threshold to reflect their +2 Constitution (-
5xp).Gnomes Keen Senses is reflected in free ranks in
Perception or vigilance (0xp). It didn't seem fair to
charge the same amount of xp for Low-light vision as
someone with darkvision so I let this one slide (0xp).
Defensive Training is very circumstantial, as creature
only with the giant type will get a s (-5). Illusion
Resistance is a decent advantage since there are many
illusion spells (-10xp). Obsessive is very
circumstantial and doesn't cost much (-5xp).
Silhouette's can be good but also bad and so no change
is made (0xp)
Half-Elves
2 2 2 2 2 2
• Starting Wound Threshold: 10 + Brawn
• Starting Strain Threshold: 10 + Willpower
• Starting Experience: 90 XP
• Special Abilities: Half-elves begin the game
with one rank in a non-career skill. They still
may not train this skill passed rank 2 during
character creation.
• Low-Light Vision:When making skill checks,
it removes up to s imposed due to darkness.
• Elven Immunities: Half-elves are immune to
magic sleep effects. Also when targeted by
spells and effects add a s to the casters roll.
 • Keen Senses: Half-elves receive a s on
Perception skill checks.
Conversion Info:
Characteristics (110xp). Given the half human blood
the are more well rounded like a human but not so
much(0XP). It didn't seem fair to charge the same
amount of xp for Low-light vision as someone with
darkvision so I let this one slide (0xp). Elven
immunites has 2 bonus in one and thought the amount
of xp appropriate (-10xp). Since Elves have a free
ranks half-elves I think should get a bonus as well but
not quite so big do to their half blood nature(-10xp).
Half-Orc
2 2 2 2 2 2
• Starting Wound Threshold: 10 + Brawn
• Starting Strain Threshold: 10 + Willpower
• Starting Experience: 95 XP
• Special Abilities: Half-orcs begin the game
with one rank in Coercion. They still may not
train Survival above rank 2 during character
creation.
• Darkvision:This species has excellent night
vision. When making skill checks, it removes
up to s s imposed due to darkness.
• Orc Rage: When a Half-orc has suffered any
wounds, he deals +1 damage to Brawl and
Melee attacks. When a Half-orc is Critically
Injured, he instead deals +2 damage to Brawl
and Melee attacks.
Conversion Info:
Characteristics (110xp). Half-orcs intimidating ability
is represented in starting skill ranks in Coercion.(0XP).
Darkvision (-5xp). While the Half-orcs lack any real
unique ability to represent their natural prowess in
combat except Orc Ferocity, I felt that there was no
real good way to convert that ability directly over. So
instead I grabbed Wookie Rage from the Edge of the
Empire Core Rulebook and it seemed to fit nicely.(-
10xp).
Halfling
1 3 2 2 2 3
• Starting Wound Threshold: 10 + Brawn
• Starting Strain Threshold: 10 + Willpower
• Starting Experience: 50 XP
• Special Abilities: Halflings begin the game
with one rank in Athletics. They still may not
train Survival above rank 2 during character
creation.
• Keen Senses: Halflings receive a s on
Perception skill checks.
• Halfling Luck: Once per session the Halfing
may roll a s to any check.
• Fearless: Halflings receive a s on all
Discipline skill checks made against fear.
• Silhouette: 0.
Conversion Info:
Characteristics (100xp). Halflings Sure-Footed ability
is represented in starting skill ranks in Athletics.(0xp).
Keen Senses (-10xp). Since there are no saving throws
in Genesys I decided to represent Halfing luck this
way. Since it can only be used once per session it won't
have a big impact on the game (-5xp). Fearless (-5xp).
Silhouette's can be good but also bad and so no change
is made (0xp)
Human
2 2 2 2 2 2
• Starting Wound Threshold: 10 + Brawn
• Starting Strain Threshold: 10 + Willpower
• Starting Experience: 110 XP
• Special Abilities: Humans begin the game
with one rank in two non-career skill. They
still may not train this skill passed rank 2
during character creation.
Conversion Info:
Characteristics (100xp). Well not much to humans
except they get one rank in two non-career skills
instead of the one half-elves get (0xp)

Caltrops
A caltrop is a four-pronged metal spike crafted so that
one prong faces up no matter how the caltrop comes to
rest. You scatter caltrops on the ground in the hope that
your enemies step on them or are at least forced to
slow down to avoid them. One bag of caltrops covers
an area enough to occupy a silhouette 1 creature.
When entering and each round thereafter they remain
in the area, they deals 1 damage. If wearing footwear it
deals 1 strain instead. hh or d on skill checks may
be spent to inflict the Hamstrung Critical while in this
space.
Chain
A Chain It can be burst with a Formidable (fffff)
Brawn check.
Crowbar
A crowbar grants a s on Brawn checks made to force
open a door or chest. If used in combat, treat a crowbar
as a small improvised weapon.
Flint and Steel
Lighting a torch with flint and steel is an action, and
lighting any other fire with them takes at least that
long.
Ink
Ink in colors other than black costs twice as much.
Lamp Common
A lamp illuminates a Short Range area. A lamp burns
for 6 hours on one pint of oil. You can carry a lamp in
one hand.
Lantern, Bullseye
A bullseye lantern provides light up to medium range
in cone. A lantern burns for 6 hours on one pint of oil.
You can carry a lantern in one hand.
Lantern, Hooded
A hooded lantern illuminates a short range area. A
lantern burns for 6 hours on one pint of oil. You can
carry a lantern in one hand.
This lantern is encased in a more protective cover.
Add a s to any check to put out this light by means of
water or wind.
Lock
The check required to open a lock depends on the
lock’s quality:
Simple: Average (ff) Skulduggery check
Average: Hard (fff) Skulduggery check
Good: Daunting (ffff) Skulduggery check
Superior: Formidable (fffff)Skulduggery
check
Manacles, Standard and Masterwork
Manacles can bind a silhouette 1 size creature. The
difficulty to slip free of manacles or beak free is the
lock difficulty +1. Slipping free requires a
Coordination check. Breaking the manacles requires n
Athletics check. If the manacles are masterwork,
upgrade the difficulty of all checks made to escape the
manacles by 1.
Most manacles have locks; add the cost of the lock
you want, to the cost of the manacles. For the same
cost, you can buy manacles for a Silhouette 0 creature.
For a silhouette 2 creature, manacles cost 10 times the
indicated amount, and for a silhouette 3 creature, 100
times the indicated amount. Silhouette 4 or higher, or
very small creatures can be held only by specially
made manacles, which cost at least 100 times the
indicated amount.
Oil
A pint of oil burns for 6 hours in a lantern or
lamp.
You can also use a flask of oil as a splash weapon.
With the proper skill you can use oil as an attack.
Roll an Average (ff) Alchemy check, with a
base damage of 3 and a burn 1 quality. You can
pour a pint of oil on the ground to cover an area 5
feet square, provided that the surface is smooth. If
lit, the oil burns for 2 rounds and deals the base
damage of the weapon to each creature in the area.
Ram, Portable
This iron-shod wooden beam gives you an s on
Brawn checks made to break open a door and
allows a second person to help give you s s
instead of one.
Rope, Hemp/Silk
This rope can be burst with a Hard (fff) Brawn
check. Silk rope is the same check except made
with s.
Spyglass
Objects viewed through a spyglass are magnified to
twice their size. Characters using a spyglass remove s
s perception checks to see things far away.
Torch
A torch burns for 1 hour, shedding lighting on
everything within Short Range.
If a torch is used in combat, treat it as a small
improvised weapon with a Burn 1 Quality.
Water Clock
This large, bulky contrivance gives the time accurately
to within half an hour per day since it was last set. It
requires a source of water, and it must be kept still
because it marks time by the regulated flow of droplets
of water.
Special Substances and Items
Acid
You can throw a flask of acid as a weapon with an
Ranged combat check with a base damage of 6 acid
damage, with a range of short, and the burst 3 and
Sunder Quality.
Alchemist’s Fire
You can throw a flask of alchemist’s fire as a weapon
with an Ranged combat check with a base damage of
6 fire damage, with a range of short, and the burst 3
and Burn 2 Quality.
Antitoxin
If you drink a vial of antitoxin, you get an upgrade on
your Resilience check against poison for 1 hour.
Everburning Torch
This otherwise normal torch has a continual flame
spell cast on it. This causes it to shed light like an
ordinary torch, but it does not emit heat or deal fire
damage if used as a weapon.
Holy Water
Holy water damages undead creatures and evil
outsiders almost as if it were acid. A flask of holy
water can be thrown as a weapon with an Ranged
combat check with a base damage of 5 damage to an
undead creature or an evil outsider, with a range of
short, and the burst 3 Quality. A flask breaks if thrown
against the body of a corporeal creature, but to use it
against an incorporeal creature, you must open the
flask and pour the holy water out onto the target. Thus,
you can douse an incorporeal creature with holy water
you are in engaged with. Temples to good deities sell
holy water at cost (making no profit). Holy water is
made using the bless water spell.
Smokestick
This alchemically treated wooden stick instantly
creates thick, opaque smoke when burned. The smoke
fills a short range radius (treat the effect as a fog cloud
spell, except that it is more vulnerable to wind). The
stick is consumed after 1 round, and the smoke
dissipates naturally after 1 minute.
Sunrod
This 1-foot-long, gold-tipped, iron rod glows
brightly when struck as a maneuver. It sheds normal
light in a medium radius. It glows for 6 hours, after
which the gold tip is burned out and worthless.
Tanglefoot Bag
A tanglefoot bag is a small sack filled with tar, resin,
and other sticky substances. When you throw a
tanglefoot bag at a creature roll a Ranged combat
check. This attack has a range of short, does no
damage. If successful the attack is treated as if the
wielder activated an ensnared 5 quality. The bag comes
apart and goo bursts out, entangling the target and then
becoming tough and resilient upon exposure to air.
An effected creature takes a s penalty on attack rolls
and a s s penalty to Agility based checks. Huge or
larger creatures are unaffected by a tanglefoot bag. If
the ensnare quality was used on a flying creature is not
ensnared, but it is unable to fly (assuming it uses its
wings to fly) and falls to the ground. A tanglefoot bag
does not function underwater. A creature that is glued
to the floor (or unable to fly) can break free by making
a Hard (fff) Athletics check as normal when
ensnared or by dealing 15 damage to the goo with a
slashing weapon. To do so a creature rolls an attack
roll without any difficulty. If the ensnared creature
attempts to cast a spell, it takes a s on the check. An
application of universal solvent to a stuck creature
dissolves the alchemical goo immediately.
Thunderstone
You can throw this stone as a weapon with an Ranged
combat check with a range of short and deals no
damage. When it strikes a hard surface (or is struck
hard), it creates a deafening bang that is treated as a
sonic attack. Each creature within short range of where
it went off must make an Average (ff) Resilence
check or be deafened for 1 hour. A deafened creature,
in addition to the obvious effects, takes s s on
initiative rolls and has a s when casting a spell.
Tindertwig
The alchemical substance on the end of this small,
wooden stick ignites when struck against a rough
surface. Creating a flame with a tindertwig is much
faster than creating a flame with flint and steel (or a
magnifying glass) and tinder. Lighting a torch with a
tindertwig is a maneuver (rather than an action), and
lighting any other fire with one is a maneuver.
Tools and Skill Kits

This lab is used for making alchemical items, and
provides a s on Alchemy checks pertaining to
crafting.

used by evil clerics (or by neutral clerics who want to
cast evil spells or channel negative energy).
Magnifying Glass
This simple lens allows a closer look at small objects.
It is also useful as a substitute for flint and steel when

Mounts and Related Gear
Barding, Medium Creatures and Large
Barding is a type of armor that covers the head, neck,
chest, body and possibly legs of a horse or other
mount. Barding made of medium or heavy armor
provides better protection than light barding, but at the
expense of speed. Barding can be made of any of the
armor types found in the Armors section. Armor for a
horse (a Large nonhumanoid creature) costs four times
as much as human armor (a Medium humanoid
creature) and also weighs twice as much. If the barding
is for a pony or other Medium mount, the cost is only
double, and the weight is the same as for Medium
armor worn by a humanoid. Medium or heavy barding
slows a mount that wears it. Medium gets a -1 to max
speed and Heavy gets a -2 to max speed.
Flying mounts can’t fly in medium or heavy barding.
Removing and fitting barding takes five times as
long. A barded animal cannot be used to carry any load
other than a rider and normal saddlebags.

As a maneuver, an animated shield can be loosed to
defend its wielder on its own. Once per encounter for 4
rounds, the shield acts just it would if you were

Required HP: 3
A holy weapon is imbued with holy power. This
power makes the weapon good-aligned and thus
bypasses the corresponding damage reduction. It deals
an extra 4 points of damage against all creatures of evil
alignment. It upgrades the difficulty on all attacks for
any evil creature attempting to wield it.

Returning
Aura: Moderate transmutation
Required HP: 2
A returning weapon flies through the air back to the
creature that threw it. It returns to the thrower just
before the creature’s next turn (and is therefore ready
to use again in that turn). Catching a returning weapon
when it comes back is a incidental. If the character
can’t catch it, or if the character has moved since
throwing it, the weapon drops to the ground in the
square from which it was thrown.

This is a cold iron longsword. In the hands of a
paladin, this sacred weapon gains the holy attachment
and provides 1 spell defense equal to ranks in Divine
to the wielder and anyone in engaged range with her. It
also enables the paladin to use greater dispel magic
(once per round as an action). Only the area dispel is
possible, not the targeted dispel or counterspell
versions of greater dispel magic.

Potions
Potions are one time use effects that are based on some
spells of Average (ff) difficulty or lower. Unlike
scrolls potions don't roll a difficulty. Instead they roll
f equal to the difficulty of the spell. Also an automatic
s is generated as part of the results. They don't choose
any bonus effects, those are chosen when the potion is
created.
The price of a potion is equal to 50 gp x (2x the spell
difficulty). If there are multiple different difficulties
based on class, use the lowest difficulty when
calculating price. Make sure to account for augments.
For example a potion of Cure Moderate Wounds is
essentially a 2 difficulty spell. It's just the Cure
Wounds spell with an augment.
Rings
Only two magic rings are allowed to be worn at any
given time. There are no special abilities for rings,

Scrolls
Scrolls hold 1 spell on it that may be cast once as an
action without incurring a strain cost. The scroll is
consumed after it is used.
The requirements for someone to use the scroll is:
• Having at least one rank in the appropriate
skill to cast that type of spell.
• If it is a scroll they have not made they must
make a check to read the writing. This can be
done with 1 less difficulty than it is to cast.
Using the magic skill required or at the GMs
discretion an appropriate knowledge check.
The price of a scroll is equal to the difficulty of the
spell x CL X 25 gp.
Staves
Staffs hold multiple spell and that can be cast as an
action. Also reduce the difficulty to cast these spells by
1 to a minimum of 1. A Staff holds 10 charges. Unlike
wands, staffs can hold spells of any difficulty. Staffs
also have the Prepare 1 quality.
Staves have a minimum CL of 8.
Wands
Wands hold 1 spell and that can be cast as an action.
The base difficulty of the spell is based on the class of
the wielder, since spell difficulty varies based on class.
Also reduce the difficulty to cast this spell by 1 to a
minimum of 1. This can be cast a number of times
equal to the charges left in the wand before it is as
useless as a stick.
Requirements:
Must have at least one rank in the appropriate skill
needed to cast that type of spell.

This device is a single leather glove. On command,
one item held in the hand wearing the glove
disappears. The item can have an encumbrance of 3 or
less and must be able to be held in one hand. While
stored, the item has negligible weight. With a snap of
the fingers wearing the glove, the item reappears. A
glove can only store one item at a time. Storing or
retrieving the item is an incidental. The item is shrunk
down so small within the palm of the glove that it
cannot be seen. If the glove’s effect is suppressed or
dispelled, the stored item appears instantly. A glove of

Chapter 7: Magic
Magic is handled like it is in the Core Rulebook, but
also have premade spells. These premade spells are
different in the following ways:
• They ignore the normal rule of who can cast
what type of spell and instead who can use it is
defined by class.
• They can be stored in a scroll or spell book
 that gives wizards edge with them.
• Augments available that might not necessarily
be available when casting on the fly.
Staring Spells
Characters who wish to increase their access to spells
though experience may do so with the Spell
Knowledge Talent.
Optional Spell Casting Rules
If First You Don't Succeed....
If you want spice up magic a bit and reflect a more
dangerous and volatile side of casting an unfamiliar
spell. Upgrade the difficulty once for newly acquired
spells by the PC. The player may spend aaaa or
t to remove the upgrade. This is a fun way of
showing how difficult casting a spell for the 1st time is.
I would forgo this on spells the character starts with.
After all the starting spells represent spells the PC has
known for quite some time. The only exception would
be in the case of the above backstory or spells from
level 2 up in general. Remember h and d are more
unforgiving when casting spells than in normal
combat.
Note: This also provides an opportunity to add a talent
that lets PC forgo this penalty.
Copying Spells into Spell Book
Step 1: Gather the materials need. The scroll,
obviously, and half the cost of the scrolls price.
Step 2: Make a skill check with the appropriate magic
skill type or Magic Craft skill, which ever is lower. To
determine the difficulty divide the rarity by 2 and
round up. Then upgrade all difficulty dice (subject to
change). This penalty can be mitigated through
Accomplished Scribe Talent. This may seem harsh but
magic usually is.
Step 3: Spend a, h, t, and d.
If successful there are 2 different ways you could go
as a GM.
• 1st is using the optional magic rules presented
here and add it to their spell book.
• 2nd if you like the Genesys default spell casting
rules you could have a success mean they get a
s when casting that particular spell since they
could have cast already without copying it.
Regardless of which option you choose the scroll is
consumed whether you were successful or not. CL has
no effect on Copying spells into books.

of the spell effects you.
Optional Rule: If you like Genesys old way of casting
spell with more free form, you could, when casting the
spell on the scroll upgrade your check once. The spell
on the scroll is consumed.
Spell Type
This is what type of spell you are casting that is
classified by the Genesys Core Rulebook.
Skill
What base skill you can use when casting it.
Concentration
Whether or not you can use concentration rules found
on page 218 of the Genesys Core Rulebook.
Range: At what rage the spell may be cast.
Effect
Personal: Only Effects You
Target
Where the spell ends up or who it effects.
Duration
Instantaneous: The spell energy comes and goes the
instant the spell is cast, though the consequences might
be long-lasting.
Permanent: The energy remains as long as the effect
does. This means the spell is vulnerable to dispel
magic.
Concentration: Some magical effects might require
concentration to sustain. If a magical action (or spell)
can benefit from concentration, the action description
notes this.
Spells that can be sustained through concentration
last until the end of the character’s next turn (as noted
in their description). However, if the character
performs the concentrate maneuver during that next
turn, the spell’s effects last until the end of the
character’s following turn, instead. This can be
sustained indefinitely by performing the concentrate
maneuver each turn.
Spells
Missing Spells?
Some spells from pathfinder will not be implemented
for one of two reasons:
1st the spell is the same as another spell only slight
different and more powerful. For example the light
spell and Daylight. Both those spells will exist but in a
different capacity. They are merged into one spell and
the advanced effects of the Daylight spell is
represented in the additional effects section of the
spell.
2nd It is so tied to the pathfinder mechanics that it is
irrelevant in the Genesys system. One example being
Bleed. In Genesys when non-player characters and
creatures suffers wounds greater than their wound
threshold, they are defeated (unless they are a high-
level opponent such as a nemesis).
Difficulty
All classes spells except the Paladin and Ranger start
at easy and go all the way to Formidable. Paladin and
Ranger spells start at Average for 2 reasons.
1st they don't have as many spell levels to go through
and would be unfair if the highest possible spells they
could cast were only a daunting.
2nd Looking closely at the talent Spell Knowledge if
taken by a Paladin or Ranger it does nothing for them
until the 2nd rank. This is to simulate the effect of
Paladins and Rangers receiving there spells later in
their class.
Magic Schools
All spells belong to a specific school; Abjuration,
Conjuration, Divination, Enchantment, Evocation, and
Illusion. This system will replace the Genesys basic
spell types. Since the pathfinder conversion system
uses magic differently it can be exempt from rules that
would otherwise break the game. For example Create
Water spell while following the Genesys core only
Arcane and Primal would be allowed to use this, thus
denying clerics a spell that is inherently theirs. While
this limitation make sense if I could make my own
conjuration spells, the scope of the spells ability is
smaller and less likely to get out of control.
Different schools of magic can be used in Talent Path
to specialize.
My Divine character doesn't have access to x spell
when it's a divine spell in Pathfinder?
Spell Types are broken up into Arcana, Divine and
Primal. I use these spell types that is presented on
page 211 of the Genesys Core Rulebook to
determine what spell is tied to which magic skill.
The Unorthodox Magic talent when purchased will
also give players access to a spell with a different skill.
Spell Duration
Some spells are in increments of minutes. Such as 1
min per s. This is essentially 10 rounds. But combat
rarely goes on that long and so just treat it as 1
encounter when cast in combat. When cast out of
combat, well even if you manage to get 5 minutes its
kinda mut
Spell Adjustments
Most default spell adjustments are not used with this
setting since it would do away with the need of more
spells. With the default Genesys adjustments you
would only like one spell to do what 15 can just by
adjusting the difficulty. Instead it is done on a per spell
basis. The adjustments below may be used with all
spells unless specifically stated otherwise.
