PRE-HISTORY: No one knows just how far back the Chaos goes, but before Kintara was the way it religions and to not try
is; chaos reigned over the realm. In this swirling mass of darkness and storm; three Dragons were to force their ideologies
born. Al’Graziri was the Dragon of Flames and he was the light of order. Al’Verazi was the Dragon of on others.
Storms and she was the herald of darkness. Al’Frizaga was the Dragon of Winter and he was the
passive one. A great war raged between Al’Graziri and Al’Verazi as they fought for control of the
realm. It was the Dragon of Flames that won and he sealed his sister into the Beyond; a realm outside
of reality. From there, the storms of chaos lessened and Kintara began to see life for the first time

FIRST AGE: This age is ripe with new beginnings. As the species of Kintara began to evolve and take form, so to do things like
technology and language. This age is wrought with history for each race on Kintara and is the longest of the Ages

SECOND AGE: This is called the Age of Reason and it where the races began to venture forth and discover one another. Of
course some differences led to some wars and strife but for the most part it was peaceful in this Age

THIRD AGE: Often called the Age of Shadows, this age is the shortest of them all and was by far the most destructive. Beings
called Ürks; the ancestor to the modern Orc; came through rifts to another plane of existence. Their world was torn by chaos and
shadow magic. They invaded, laying waste to the realm of Izmer and surrounding nations. Until, the first Empress of Izmer was
chosen by Al’Graziri to protect and guide her people. Jayleen Sumdall had driven back the horde of Ürks from the lands. Many Ürks
stayed as they were not a part of the horde. They were given amnesty but it took many years to gain their trust. These are now the
modern Orcs that so many have come to love

SHADOW WAR: Many consider the Shadow War to be its own age; seeing as how it lasted almost 200 years, but it really isn’t.
However it was the marking point of the end of the Third Age and the start of the Fourth. For that reason, many see the Shadow War
as an era of new beginnings and in many cases a beacon of light rather than darkness

FOURTH AGE: This is the modern era of the world. Izmer is at the center of trade but also has its own internal strife. The
Magocracy seeks to keep the status quo while a young but brash Empress named Savina is trying to change things for all her people.
It is rumored that another civil war is on the brink but no one talks of it without causing trouble
 The World
Kintara is a massive world filled with several
million peoples of all walks of life. There are five Other Nations

nations are
ALGAR: The Frozen north. Algar is the
mentioned in brief
northernmost nation and is home to many tundra- but not in full
based tribes. They do not have a total national detail. See the
government as each tribe holds its own standards. Kintara World
However, they do have a Grand Council that Book for more on

to settle disputes between tribes

VITRIAL AND BARBODA: The Twin nations of

Vitrial and Barboda are just under Algar and right above Izmer. They have a
mighty river between them that serves as a neutral zone. They have been
at war the longest of all the nations and used to be one. During the Third
Age, before the Shadow War, they had a civil war due to religious
differences that split it into two parts. Now, things are peaceful but tense

IZMER: Making up most of the southern part of the west coast of

Kintara and a lot of land inwards is Izmer. Izmer is where the main portals
to the Shadow Realm opened long ago and held the most battlegrounds for
the Shadow War. Since then, Izmer has grounded itself as the central
trading hub for Kintara, having excellent ability to access trade both on land and at sea. They have a Magocracy, meaning that mages
rule the lands

N’VAHRA: The southernmost nation is N’Vahra; and while it is the most tropical of the nations, it also holds the largest desert as
well; spanning most of the nations mass. This area is ruled by outlaws and tribes rather than a full government as they want nothing
to do with that region after the Mythril mines within dried up a few centuries ago

IZMER PLACES OF NOTE:

ACRETIAN FOREST: The Acretian forest is home to dangerous beasts; left over from the Shadow Wars. It is said that the same
magics that hold the Mistrain Valley also linger in this forest; and some might be right
AL’TIR: The city of Al’Tir is an Elven city and sits at a border of the Wintervale Forest; a forest known for its evergreens. This city
is actually grown rather than built and has taken over a thousand years to expand. Good thing the Elves are patient
ALAVORE: Alavore was once the seat of power for Mages. They later relocated their Library known as the Arcanus Academ
before Jayleen Sumdall had to destroy the area
ALGAZI PLAINS: The Algazi Plains are home to the elves of the region but many also make their travels through it. Even though
the region is cold by its nature, the Algazi Plains seems to draw from ancient magics to make it green year round
ALTIGA BAY: Altiga Bay is the largest bay in the realms and is home to the largest fleet to exist; a fleet of over three thousand
ships designed by all races and stands as a testament to peace in the world
ANTIUS CITY: A city of thieves no doubt; a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Most in Antius City just pay their dues and move
on; while others only look out for either themselves or the Guild
ASHEN FOOTHILLS: The Ashen Foothills are just to the south of the Mistrain Valley and are the remains of a volcano that
erupted many millennia ago. It is said that that site is where the two dragon gods fought and Al’Graziri came out supreme
CAMAHZ: Camahz is a mining village that was once a direct entrance to the Dwarven kingdoms below; long before the Shadow
Wars. They mine large amounts of steel and silver each year. Camahz was also the site of a great castle held by Savrille during the
Shadow War; a castle that lay half-ruined to this day
DEEP EXPANSE: The Deep Expanse is the name of the southern-most ocean in the world
*The next page has a detailed map of Izmer
 DEM-SAR: Dem-Sar is an underground Dwarven city just on the coast. Most of it was destroyed during the Shadow War but it is
slowly being rediscovered and dug up by the Dwarves. Although not a major city, it is along an ancient underground highway system
and was one a major trading hub
EMERALD SPINE: The Emerald Spine is home to Camahz and the largest deposit of Emeralds in the region. It also gets its name
from the lush green foliage on its tops despite its height. It overlooks the Deep Expanse and several outposts have been set up on its
peaks to oversee any potential oceanic threats
HIGHSPIRE: Highspire is the tallest mountain in Kintara, and home to the great Al’Graziri. While he has not been down from this
perch for a very long time, there are those who believe he still sits, awaiting his time to return to Kintara
LAKE SUMDALL: Lake Sumdall was named after the capitol city and the first empress, Empress Jayleen Sumdall. She was a
powerful mage who broke the siege of chaos in the region with her magic during the Shadow Wars. It is said that three separate
towns and cities were washed away when she caused the very earth to move and flood the region
MEL’TIR: Mel’Tir, like Al’Tir, is grown rather than built; but features a Dwarven and Elven Quarter. The races mostly keep to
their side, but Mel’Tir was the first city to allow the Dwarves refuge during the Shadow Wars. While Dwarves and Elves do not
always see eye to eye; here, they live in relative harmony and even have representatives meet in the town center; devoid of borders;
each year to discuss local issues
MISTRAIN VALLEY: Mistrain Valley is strange indeed. While most can travel through it with little issues (so long as you stay on
the paths given), there are those that have fallen victim to the strange mists and fog that blankets the region year round
 MOROVALE: Named after a great hero who died a few centuries back, Morovale is home to the Arcanus Academ; the Academy
of Magic. Young mages go here to learn how to control their powers, and the intricacies of the political landscape, to become
leaders
NEMUS TRISMAGIA: the Nemus Trismagia; or the triumvirate forest; is just north, west and east of Sumdall and is said to be the
birthplace of three dragons; Al’Graziri, Al’Verazi and the lost Al’Frizaga (Fire, Storm and Frost). It is one large forest split into three
parts by two massive rivers coming from the Razors Crest Mountains to their north. Sumdall sits at the very edge of the central
forest on the border of it and Lake Sumdall
OLD SUMDALL: Originally called Arvadale but was renamed when Empress Jayleen Sumdall took her throne for the first time. It
was later washed into Lake Sumdall when she had no choice but to open the earth and flood the region to prevent untold terror
from entering her lands
QUILOS: Quilos is a small village that sits on the threshold of the northern nation of VITRIAL. It is a small village that sits on the
threshold of two converging rivers and small forested areas. Quilos also has several watchtowers around it at the border and is
home to many military patrols. While the people there just hunt and fish, the town is used to spot potential threats from the
northern nations
RAZORS CREST MOUNTAINS: the Razors Crest Mountains are home to the largest peak in the realm; Highspire; home to the
First Dragon and protector of Izmer, Al’Graziri. While the great beast has not been seen in over millennia, it is said he still resides in
Highspire to this day, looking at his realm; waiting for his prophesied return
RED CEDAR MOUNTAINS: On the eastern border lies the Red cedar Mountains, just north of the Mistrain Valley. It is called that
due to all the Red Cedar trees that grow in the area. It is abundant in fact and many have used these mountains to harvest the trees,
even though they are hard to get too but have been seen to grow almost 100 feet tall and as big around as an elephant
SAPPHIRE BASIN: The Sapphire Basin is a lake attached to the Altiga bay and home to the most variety of ocean life inland of the
oceans. There is also said to be a sea monster living in the region called Sapphire due to reports of its shimmering blue hide; but no
reports have been verified as of yet
SEADALE: Seadale was a simple village but was one of the first lost to the Shadows. Its burial was seen as a mercy to those who
survived its initial destruction
SUMDALL: Nations capitol; home to the Empress and her council of Mages. In Izmer, mages rule and have what is called a
Magocracy; where mages have control of both the political and social landscape
TOWER OF REIGN: The Tower of Reign is a ruin at this point, but was once the main site of the interdimensional portal that led
to the Ürks home plain. When the tower collapsed, the entrance was sealed and no amount of excavation has been able to find any
pieces of the gate used to bring the Ürks to this realm
VESLA: the small village of Vesla is a small fishing village that has a trade route directly from the Deep Expanse to the capitol of
Sumdall
WANDERERS LAKE: There was once a great and eccentric mage who made his home in the middle of the lake; lifted above it by
magic; and while it is now all but a ruin, some say that his magic can still be felt in the area, creating a sort of utopian region devoid
of chaos or strife
WHISPERING PLAINS: The Whispering Plains lead into N’Vahra, and is an arid land; harsh to those trying to make it their home
WINTERVALE FOREST: Wintervale Forest is home to the largest trees in the region and has even been seen bearing fruits year
round. This has made Izmer a great exporter of such fruits as magics seem to keep the region from being overcome by the harshness
of the winter

THE IVORY SHORES: Izmer is known to many as the Ivory Shores of Kintara. Its coastline is made of the purest white sands;
many believing that they hold magical powers. In fact, the Ivory Sands are used as a powerful alchemical component in forging steel
that seems to lighten and strengthen the metal when forged. This makes Izmeran Steel lighter and stronger than most other types of
materials.
 IZMERAN CULTURE AND SOCIETY: As stated above several times, Izmer is the only nation that is a
Magocracy; a nation whose ruling class are mages. Most of them are A Land of
“Pure” mages, meaning that their families are all in tune with magic. Tradition
However, they do allow what they call an “Inducted” mage into the
political scene; those with non-magical parents, but they themselves have Izmer is a nation

It should also be noted that the life of the Empress is long; each spanning about two hundred years.
This is due to her connection to her dragon; the bond making her age far slower than normal. As it stands,
Savina has been on the throne for about forty years now, but only seems to be in her early twenties at best

Now, she cannot run everything by herself and she thus has others that are below her; in charge of smaller portions of Izmer so
that she can better see to the needs of her people. Going from the bottom to the top we have:

Majordomo: Majordomos are in charge of certain Burroughs of towns and cities; small sections that interact with each other
Mayor: Mayors run entire cities or towns. Some towns may be too small for a Majordomo but the Mayor still runs the entire
thing
Daimyo: the Daimyos of Izmer have run over large sections of the nation; being home to many villages, towns, and cities within
Empress/Council: The highest point of the political structure. The Empress has final say on laws and trade but she is checked by
the Council; who are supposed to make sure she does not falter in her duties to her people
The Magistrate: The Magistrate is the exception to this structure. He acts as Daimyo for Sumdall and its surrounding areas and
as Mayor of Sumdall itself

Numbers People!
MILITARY OF IZMER: Izmer does have an army and one that should not be trifled with either. The
Army is divided into smaller sections so that they can run as a 5 people make up a

The days are actually simple, being arranged in a similar fashion to our own. The week begins with
Moonsday, to show the cycle of the lunar phase. Then we have Tevasday, Warrensday, Thrashday,
Freeday, Sereneday and Sunsday.

The Months are: Summerstart, Maradem, Julia, Juniper, Aspen, Solia, Osperset, Neradem, Descent, Janifar, Fallenstar,
Merakest, and Antimer. Summerstart is the oddball month, as it starts the summer months and is the month that shows the new
year. In this month, most people of Izmer are not working but are celebrating the new season. While farming and opening of taverns
or shops is normal, most commoners are not required to work this month to show the appreciation of the common folk and what
they do for Izmer.

Now, these months are also in line with the seasons; Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring.
Summer is the longest season with 5 months; Autumn and Spring both have only 3 months and You’re cold?
Winter is the shortest with only 2. The months are listed for the seasons as follows:

Other peoples tend to lean towards others of the Pantheon based on their ancestries. Here are some Frigga, Hera,
examples: and Isis.
Draak (Dragonborn): Anubis, Helm, Thor, Frigga, and Tyche
Dwarf: Being born of crafters, artisans and warriors; Dwarves tend to lean towards the following: Anubis,
Ares, Heimdall, Helm, Hephaestus, Osiris, Tyr, Artemis, Hera, and Isis.
Elf: Heimdall, Osiris, Tyr, Aphrodite, Artemis, Bast, Frigga, and Isis
Gnome: Loki, Tyr, Hela, and Tyche
Goblin: Ares, Helm, Osiris, Thor, Bast, Hela, and Morrigan
Halfling: Halflings are like humans in the sense that they do not have a particular set they worship and tend to lean towards
which deity they feel best fits their personality
Human (Man): Humans can worship pretty much any they desire with Al’Graziri always being at the top of the list. Nations have
their own particular set they worship and this changes (as stated just above with the Eight that are worshiped in Izmer).
Orc: Ares, Osiris, Tyr, Bast, Hera, and Tyche. Some tribes follow Morrigan but not all do
Wilder: Mostly Bast, however some may follow other Deities as they see fit

These of course are just examples of the typical nature of each ancestry. There are many people and their opinions vary greatly
from one to another, so keep this in mind as your hero selects a Deity or Deities to worship.
 CLERICS OF IZMER: Clerics are a rare sight but are not unheard of in Izmer. In fact, the Empress herself is considered a Cleric due
to the fact that she is chosen by Al’Graziri to rule. That being said; a Cleric is simply a
Mage Class with a few changes to the class to start with.

 Trade Perception with Communication as a Primary Ability. Clerics are taught to

use their words and; in the case of the Empress; their words can be law
 Clerics use the Fatigue Alternate Casting Option listed later in section three with
the Arcana
 Instead of just Brawling and Staves as your Starting weapons Groups, you gain
one more based on your deity. They will have a list of 3 to pick from so your
choice matters
 If you pick a Favored Spell Stunt when you get a Stunt Bonus as per the Mage
Class you can select Divine Stunts as well as Spell Stunts (see page 117 of the
Core Rules for details)
 You can instead add your Faith Focus to your Accuracy roll for attacks made with the Arcane Blast, but you can only use one
focus at a time as per rules as written
 Clerics can also take the Armor Training Talent (Normally limited to warriors) but they can only take it to Expert Level
 All Deities have a chosen Arcana that MUST be one of your two starting Arcana Talents. In addition to this, they have Anathema
which are Arcana you can never take or you will lose favor with that deity

 Part Two: Characters
ANCESTRIES: As there are many peoples of the world, you must select an Ancestry when you create a
character. They are all highlighted in the Core Racism
Rules but here we go over a bit of culture for
each one. Some of these have variation from Unfortunately,
the normal rules as written so read carefully Racism is a real
thing in Kintara.

Elf: Elves are majestic and graceful but are also long-loved and a bit pompous. Since they have seen the change of many ages,
they tend to be a bit more uncaring in their demeanor but not out of malice or distrust. N’Vahra is their main homeland but many
have settles across Kintara. Elves actually have two base variants and a third uncommon one

Dark Elves were twisted by the forces of the Shadow during the Shadow War. They have dark skin and mostly white hair and are
far more sensitive to light. Instead of Dark Sight, they have Superior Dark Sight, meaning they can see almost perfectly in darkness
albeit in shades of grey. This comes with sensitivity to light, causing a -2 to Perception while in direct sunlight. Some have specialized
eyewear that negates this penalty. Dark Elves can also use Crossbows without having the Bows Weapons Group as they are trained
from a young age to use them; so they take no penalty to attack or damage while using them even without the Weapons Group

Gnome: Gnomes call Vitrial their home and kind of look like short elves. They are attuned to magical forces and; as an optional
rule, you can forgo one of your extra Benefits and select any Arcana you desire; gaining 2 of its Novice Spells you can cast once each
per day for free

Goblin: Goblins, like Orcs, came through the rifts during the Shadow War. They have forgotten their homeland but make Vitrial
theirs. They have a massive issue with Dwarves since they fought over the under-halls many centuries ago and many feral goblins
still exist underground today. Surface-level goblins, however, are actually not savage or hateful and have a system of tribes that
often barter with one another in many forms of trade; even trading members of their tribes to keep peace

Halfling: Halflings call Barboda their home, but often travel to other lands in search of adventure. Halflings take from humans in
terms of societal structures; keeping with professions and education on a similar level. Halflings however are known for creating
many of the Guilds you see in Kintara, including the Thieves Guild and Miners Guild along with the Dwarves. They have panache for
trade and the clanking of gold

Human (Man): Humans are as diverse as the regions of Kintara. They live all over the realm and have varying societal structures.
For the most part, they are also hard to tame as it seems that humankind just craves destruction. This is not entirely true, but many
other races see that in humans and the many wars caused by humans is their evidence

Orc: Orcs are descended from the Ürks that invaded this realm many millennia ago. They have since developed their own
societies and integrated into the others of Kintara, many see them as still a threat. It is true that many Orcs turn to mercenary and
raider work to survive and still like to pillage and loot, not all of them do. In fact, most live in their own Strongholds across Kintara;
not privy to any nations laws or culture. Within these Strongholds, they train and farm; they farm to survive and train to protect
their farms. Many have branched out into the rest of the world to seek glory, fortune, or a new place among its other peoples

Wilder: Wilders are almost as Diverse a people as humans; having been awakened from their animal cousins many eons ago by
dark magic. Wilders come in many shapes and sized and do not call any one nation their true home; however they did originate from
N’Vahra

Goliath: Now, the Goliath (Seen in part Three) are not from the continent of Kintara. In fact, they came here from the West right
before the Shadow War and tried to make their home during a war-torn era. They have a unique culture that sees all as equal. They
have grey skin and horns

REGION: You must also select a region you hail from. Not all ancestries come from the same nations. In fact, Izmer is home to
Dwarves, Elves, Halflings, Humans and Orcs. While others to make
their home here, it is not their homeland. That being said, you select a
region of the world you were native to before making your way to
Izmer. Doing this grants a new Focus and Language to your hero. Keep
in mind that Trade would be akin to American English in our world. As
the world expands and more documents come out for each nation,
their history and cultures will be expanded upon.

ALGAR: Gain Intelligence (Navigation) all those from Algar are

taught how to read maps and stars to find their way. You can also
speak and read the Algaran dialect of Human. In our world, Algaran is
a sort of Slavic and Nordic cross

VITRIAL: You gain Intelligence (Cryptography). Those of Vitrial have been taught to never underestimate your enemies and you
know how to write in codes. You can speak and read the Vitri dialect of Human. This language is similar to Japanese in our world

BARBODA: All those from Barboda gain the Intelligence (Military Lore) Focus as it is a militaristic nation. You can speak and read
the Barbodeen dialect of human. This is akin to Mandarin Chinese in the real world

IZMER: You gain the Communication (Bargaining) Focus as those from Izmer are most commonly traders. You can speak and
read the Izmeran dialect of Human. In our world, Izmeran would be Britain’s English

N’VAHRA: You know the Intelligence (Arcane Lore) Focus as those from N’Vahra are trained to understand magic. You can speak
and read the High Vahran dialect of Human. In our world, High Vahran would be similar to Latin and similar languages like French
and Spanish
 LANGUAGES: Languages have been altered just a bit here; as Common is now referred to as Trade. In addition to knowing
Trade, Humans also speak a dialect of Human based on their region above.
Also, they gain 1 more of choice to give them 3 languages like everyone
else

As written in the Core Rules pages 13-31, all ancestries know Trade
(Replaces Common), their own language and now they know one dialect
of Human based on their Region above. Elves have three versions of Elven;
High Elven, Woodspeech, and Undercommon. High Elven are
automatically known by High Elves, Sylvan by Wood Elves, and
Undercommon by the Dark Elves. Wildfolk know a language called Wilder.
Goliaths know Giant.

High Elven, Sylvan and Undercommon are all Elven in nature and are
considered alternate Dialects.

All Rogues also learn Thieves Cant, a sort of coded language that uses euphemisms and sign language to portray hidden
meanings

Arcanum is the language of magic and is automatically learned by anyone who takes the Mage Class or the Arcane Disciple
Specialization

Druidic is a language used by a group of Druids in the nation of N’Vahra. They do not teach this language to anyone without
proving themselves. Some call Druidic as a modern form of Faer, the language of the Fae. The Druids are those with the Fae Heritage
Specialization beginning at level 1. This heritage connects them to their magic

Thieves Cant, Arcanum, and Human Dialects can also be learned by anyone taking the Linguistics Talent. Druidic must be taught
to you by a Druid; otherwise you can’t learn it via the Linguistics Talent

Here is the full list of languages: Trade, Algaran, Arcanum, Barbodeen, Draak, Druidic, Dwarven, Giant, Gnomish, Goblin,
Halfling, High Elven, High Vahran, Izmeran, Orcish, Sylvan, Thieves’ Cant, Undercommon, Vitri, and Wilder

OPTIONAL RULE: As an optional rule for players, the GM may allow extra languages to be learned during character creation.
Every player with this will gain an extra set of languages they know equal to their Intelligence (With a minimum of 0). So, if they have
an Intelligence of 3, they not only get their 3 starting languages, but they will know 3 more of choice. This is only during creation and
more languages are not automatically learned when Intelligence increases. You must gain the Linguistics Talent to learn more as
written.

As far as Dialects go, you can speak to anyone who talks in a differing dialect than you even if you don’t fully understand all of
the mannerisms and syntax of that particular region. If this occurs and you do not know their dialect; then you suffer a -2 on your
Communication Tests for the barrier. However, entirely foreign languages may result in an automatic fail and is really up to the GM if
this is the case. Playing with language barriers can be a fun way to get things into the campaign as well; making things rather
interesting for all players

BACKGROUNDS: In the next section, we also have some new Background that can be taken as options for all players
 NEW ANCESTRY:

GOLIATH: The Goliath hail from a mysterious land to the West of Kintara. While their history has been lost since their arrival;
many believe that it is a realm of chaos and strife. They settled on the shores of Izmer right at
the start of the Shadow War; and at first were thought to be in league with the forces of
darkness. Since then, they have made their home here and are valued members of Izmeran
society.

They have a ridged society; and that can lead to some miscommunication between them
and other peoples. They have adapted to Izmeran society but have remained true to their
roots, and they believe all should do the same

To play a Goliath, modify your hero as follows:

 Pick one of the following Focuses: Constitution (Tolerance) or Strength (Might)
 Your Speed is equal to 8 + Dexterity minus Armor Penalty
 You can speak and Read Common and Giant
Select two of the following benefits from the table below; selecting an Ability increase
counts as both your Benefits. Alternatively, the GM may allow you to roll twice to gain two
random benefits (Roll 2d6 and add them together)

2d6 Roll Benefit

2 +1 Willpower
3-4 Intelligence (Historical Lore)
5 Thick Skinned: You have an AR of 2 when not wearing armor
6 Axes Weapons Group*
7-8 +1 Fighting
9 +1 Constitution
10 Strength (Intimidation)
11 Large Horns: your horns are larger than average and deal 1d6+STR in unarmed damage when used
12 +1 Perception
*If your Class provides this Weapons Group, take the Fighting (Axes) Focus instead

TALENT: In addition to all talents available to players, Goliaths have a special one called Goliath Secrets that are available to
them at any time they get a Talent Degree:
Goliath Secrets
Class ALL
Requires Goliath Ancestry
Novice You are large and in charge. If an enemy attempts to use the Skirmish or Knock Prone Stunts against you, you can force
your opponent into an Opposed Strength (Might) vs. your Constitution (Stamina) Test. If you succeed, their stunt fails.
You can only do this once per encounter

 Part Three: New Stuff
This section will go over some new things added to the Fantasy Age Core Rules. Just some things like new
weapons, armor, items, materials and other random Optional Rules
stuff is all listed here. This section is all Optional and
This section is all

optional rules,
FOCUSES: We have a wide variety of Focuses in so the players

new things to
players and GM’s of the world may enjoy:

DERIVED TRAITS: Derived Traits are calculated from certain Abilities and may include a Focus.

NOTICE: A passive score that is 10+Perception+Applicable Focus. So if you have Seeing at +2, then you
Other Traits
add that to it. Used by the GM to see if you notice something without actively looking or searching
This part really
HEALTH: Health has changed a bit from the core rules. Instead of rolling each time you level up, it has only talks about
been changed into a simple formula that takes level and constitution into account. Each Class has a Base Health, Magic
Health pool. Mages begin with a base of 20, Rogues and Envoys begin with 25 and Warriors begin with 30. Points and
Then you calculate your Constitution Score times 5 and your Level times 2. Here is what the formula looks Defense; however
like: 20/25/30 + (5xCon) + (2xLevel). If your characters all have a Constitution of 3 and are at level 2: there are other
MAGE: 20 + (5x3) + (2x2) = 20+15+4= 39 Health traits…
ROGUE/ENVOY: 25 + (5x3) + (2x2) = 25+15+4= 44 Health
Speed is normal
WARRIOR: 30 + (5x3) + (2x2) = 30+15+4= 49 Health
for your Ancestry

MAGIC POINTS: Magic Points have a similar calculation to Health to simplify the game a touch. The Spellpower for
formula is instead: 10 + (5xWillpower) + (2xLevel). So, if you have a Willpower score of 5 and are at level 3 mages is as
then you calculate it as: 10 + (5x5) + (2x3) = 10+25+6= 41 Magic Points. Also, if the player has a negative written
number in Willpower, it is counted as a 0 for calculation of Magic Points. For the Arcane Disciple
Specialization, this formula works the same but each degree of the Specialization counts as its level. So if Defense would be
you have a Willpower of 2 with the Master Degree of the Talent; your formula will look like: 10 + (5x2) + normal as written
(2x3) = 10+10+6= 26 Magic Points as well unless you
are using the
option here
DEFENSES: As an option, the GM May allow players to divide their Defense score into two separate but
equally valuable types. PARRY: Uses their Fighting or Accuracy (Depending on the weapon they are holding)
and is against melee attacks. DODGE: Uses Dexterity as normal and is used against ranged attacks. Both of
these Defenses will use the same base of 10 but add their separate ability scores. Parry can add Shield Bonus or Weapon Focus if
they have it. Dodge can add Shield Bonus or Acrobatics Focus.
 BACKGROUNDS: Backgrounds remain the same for the most part in Izmer; only we use the expanded list of Backgrounds in the
Companion Book pages 12-19. That being said, any Background can
take the Mage Class and automatically increase their Social Class to
Upper as Mages are bumped up socially; but your humble background
should remain in your heart. The Academic and Professional Groups
are new to the game, and offer a unique look into some other
avenues of character creation
Background Focus Social Class Group

 SPECIALIZATIONS:
TRUE ALCHEMIST (Works best with the Revised Alchemy Talent listed later in this section)
Class Any
Requires Alchemy Talent of Expert or Master
You have a deeper understanding of using reagents to craft your alchemical concoctions. In addition to the main effect, you
must select one of 3 paths and gain its effect as well. This selection cannot be changed once you gain a new Degree, but it allows
two players with Alchemy to learn differing paths
Novice You can reroll any failed Crafting Roll once per Advanced Test and take the better result. This gives you a chance to
mitigate or completely ignore potential hazards from exploding bombs. You also gain 2 Formula you did not already
know or increase ones you do to higher levels. Also, select one of the paths and take its effect as well:
 Potions/Elixirs: the Duration of your Potion and Elixir formulae are Doubled. If they do not have a Duration,
then you add an additional 1d6 to its effect
 Poisons: You can use the Envenom Stunt (Dragon Age Core Rules page 93) as a special Combat Stunt when
you have a Poison ready or one that has coated your weapon
 Bombs: You know exactly how to use your bombs. You add your Intelligence to all Bomb Damage you roll
Expert Whenever you are making a formula, you can perform the Great Mixture Stunt. For 3 SP on a successful Crafting Roll,
you can use fewer ingredients to make a higher level formula, even if you do not know it. For example, if you are
trying to make a Novice level Healing Potion and use this Stunt, you make an Expert level one instead but by only using
the ingredients for a Novice. You cannot use this Stunt if you are attempting to make a Master level formula. Continue
to follow one of the following paths:
 Potions/Elixirs: You can take a Major Action to merge 2 Potions/Elixirs of equal level into the next level of its
formula. Or, you can take the same action to merge 2 different Potions/Elixirs and it will have both effects.
You cannot combine 2 Master level formula in this manner
 Poisons: The TN of your Poisons is increased by +2
 Bombs: The TN of your Bombs is increased by +2
Master You gain 2 more formula you did not already know or increase ones you already do. In addition to this, the Time and
material Cost for Master Level formula are cut in half as you understand how to mix things with expert precision. Gain
the ability of your chosen path:
 Potions/Elixirs: As per the Expert degree but it now only takes a Minor Action to do it
 Poisons: Damage done by your Poisons are now at a +1d6 bonus
 Bombs: Your Bombs explode with doubled explosion range
 Part FOUR: NEW GEAR
This section will go over new and expanded equipment for players; including weapons, armors, and basic gear; as well as
materials, alchemy and other such things.

STARTING GEAR AND MONEY: There has been a slight revision to

the list of gear one carries from the books. This new list will include all
things old and new for starting equipment for characters.

As a note, I allow players to gain other gear they desire for free to
show that they have been around the block a time or two, and have
gained a collection so long as it is within reason. For instance, one
person might like to have his character cook, so he picks some cooking
gear like flint and steel for the fire and some pots and utensils for
himself or others. A Hunter may select things to help them with their
hunting. This is up to the GM and players but they cannot have 1 of
every item as that is just ridiculous. As far as equipment and gear for
players, the listing remains largely unchanged except for new items and
ideas

NOTE ON COSTS: All Costs herein are in the standard Silver and is a guideline. If the GM wishes, they may change the cost into
Gold or even outright change the cost entirely. If they are in copper, then they will be listed as cp instead. To turn the cost to gold,
just divide by 10 and that is how many GP they cost

Thing Gear gained

Starting Equipment Backpack, Travelers Garb, Waterskin, 3 Torches, and 5 days of traveling rations
Starting Money As based on Social Class starting wealth on page 38 of the core rules
Envoy Light Leather Armor, 1 Weapon

Rogue Light Leather or Heavy Leather Armor, 2 Weapons
Warrior Scout Armor or Light Mail Armor, 3 Weapons
Alchemy Talent You begin the game with 2 of each of your chosen Novice Formula when you gain the Talent
Ammunition If your character has a Bow or Crossbow, you also gain a quiver and 20 arrows or bolts. If you have a
Firearm, then you have a small pouch containing 20 shots and enough powder for each reload
Crafting Focus 1 Artisans Supplies at a +1 bonus, linked to your Craft
Dual Weapon Style Select one of your chosen weapons that can be used single handed. If you so desire, gain a duplicate of that
Talent weapon or add a Dagger if you do not already have it. This is added to your normal class weapons
First Aid Talent 1 Healers Kit at a +1 bonus
Lore Talent 1 blank book, one vial of ink and a writing quill
Magic Items Some GM’s may allow a player to begin with a magical item of choice. It is recommended that it be
Common or Uncommon in rarity as their effects are often simpler and do not make the level 1 hero OP. see
Part Five for details on Magical Items
Performance Talent Select one instrument of your choice, and add it to your inventory
Thievery Talent Thieves Tools at a +1 bonus
Thrown Weapons If a player chooses a Throwing Weapon as part of their class weapon set, they gain 3 of the chosen throwing
weapon

 WEAPONS: There are a decent amount of options for weapons in the AGE system, but here we get into

Weapon Qualities: This rule is simple and will expand the rules for weapons only a little bit. Each
Weapon will have 2 or 3 Qualities about them that change the functionality of that weapon. Each Quality
will be explained here along with a chart to show the potential for what each one can do. This chart is by far from being complete
and the players and GM are encouraged to try and expand it in any way they can, if they see a Quality that was missed or find one
lacking. This is the full list of the Qualities and what they can do.
Quality Effect
Accurate Always adds +1 to attack
Bashing Ignores 1 point of AR to Medium and Heavy Armors
Cone The Blunderbuss is the only one with Cone as it sprays outward in a cone. This is applied in the description of the
weapon
Crushing Can Reduce AR of Medium and Heavy Armors by 1 if Attack Stunt Die is 6 (Even if Doubles are not rolled)
Defensive Always adds +1 to Defense. If you carry 2 Defensive Quality weapons; one in each hand; you do NOT combine the
bonus. If you use the Dual Weapon Style, then you gain the additional Defense Bonuses via the Talent normally
Disarm Designed to be disarming, you can use the Disarm Stunt for Free on the attack by taking a -2 on the attack roll
Heavy Heavy Weapons are two-handed and are the only ones available for the Two-Handed Combat Style
Light Light Weapons are easier to wield and thus are the only ones allowed for the Dual Weapon Style
Loading Loading Weapons take a Major Action to reload the weapon once fired. All Black Powder Weapons have this Quality
Open The only weapon with this is the Gauntlet. This means that you can use it around your fist but you can still grip other
weapons with it
Piercing Ignores 1 AR of Light Armors
Reach Reach Weapons are the only ones allowed for the Pole Weapons Fighting Style due to their length and have an
effective Range of 2 yards. The Exception is anything from the Chain Weapons Group as they cannot be used with the
Pole Weapon Style but still have the 2 yard reach
Slashing Reduces the AR of Light Armors by 1 if the Attack Stunt Die is a 6 (Even if Doubles are not rolled)
Trip Designed to trip your targets, you can use the Knock Prone Stunt for free but at a -2 penalty on the attack roll
Variable The Variable Quality is given to Improvised Weapons, since it is based on the grabbed weapon. For example, a Piece of
Glass might have Slashing, but a Broken Chair Leg might have Bashing
Versatile Versatile Weapons are of medium weight and can be used single or two-handed. They can be used by both the Dual
Weapon, and Two-Handed Fighting Styles
Wrapping Always ignores 1 rank of any Shield Bonus to your target. So, if they are using a Kite Shield, your Wrapping Weapon
gives them a +2 bonus to Parry instead of +3

This chart will show you the weapons (categorized by Weapons Group for easier referencing) and their Qualities. You will note
that Shields may have their own WG, but are not listed on this chart. This is due to their unique mechanics of adding to Dodge and
Parry and of damage ratings changing base on the Weapon and Shield Talent

*There are some new types of Black Powder Weapons below. As technology advances, there are some new versions of the
Blunderbuss, Musket and Pistol that slightly change how they work in not only Qualities but as they function as a whole.
FLINTLOCK: This is the standard variations written above
CLOCKWORK: Clockwork weapons are made by Gnomes and feature an intricate system that makes them far more accurate.
They gain the Accurate Quality for only 1.5x the standard cost

BREECHLOADER: Breechloader weapons use a cartridge rather than a muzzle loaded bullet. This removes the Loading Quality
and makes their Reload time a Minor Action instead. This is 2x the standard cost
REVOLVER: Revolver weapons use a cylinder of rounds rather than a single bullet. They remove Loading and gain a new Quality,
RAPID: The gun has a number of shots before they need to reload; 4 shots for a Musket and Blunderbuss and 3 for a Pistol and
Arquebus. The Reload time is still a Major action as you have to insert multiple rounds. This is 2.5x the standard cost
HIGH-CALIBER: Firearms with a High Caliber fire larger rounds. This adds +2 to base damage and increases Range by +5/+10
yards (Blunderbusses have a 10-yard wide and 6 yard long cone). But, on firing such a weapon, the user needs to make a TN 13
Strength (Might) Test. If they fail, they are knocked Prone. If they are using some kind of stabilizer like a rock or are crouching; then
this TN is reduced to 11. If they fail with a Stunt Die of 1, they are still knocked Prone but the weapon is also kicked out of their
hands

NOTE: A player notice that Shields were not listed here, even though they can be used in melee combat; even if you do not have
the Weapon and Shield Talent. This is true and they do not have nor will ever have Qualities. This is due to their unwieldy design and
their focus on defense rather than combat. While it is true they can be used as a makeshift melee weapon; they are designed more
for defensive uses than combat ones. If, however, you were to assign a Quality to any Shield it would only be LIGHT as it can be used
by one hand. No other Qualities seem to fit what Shields can do.

THROWING WEAPON NOTES: As an optional rule, the GM may allow a player to get a bit extra distance with Thrown Weapons
based on Strength or Dexterity. In this case, thrown weapons such as Grenades and Throwing Knives will add your Dexterity to Shirt
Range and double that to Long Range. Throwing Axes and Spears do the same but with Strength. If you have the appropriate
Weapons Group Focus for those weapons, you can add the focus bonus in a similar manner (Base bonus to Short Range and Double
to Long Range)

ARMORS: In this next chart, we have a few new armors for players to use

*This counts as the normal +1/+2/+3 for shields if you are not using the optional Defense rule above. If you are however, then
the bonus is added to both Dodge and Parry

**The Damage for the Shield will count as Improvised at 1d6-1 if you do not possess the Weapon and Shield Talent; in addition
to only gaining a +1 bonus to Dodge and Parry. Once you gain the Talent, you can use it to its fullest and even increases it damage to
the one listed. This attack uses Fighting to hit and adds Strength to damage.
 MATERIALS: It may come to pass that certain weapons and armor are made of materials that are better or more rare than
normal. How is this handled then? Well, that is a simple answer. Materials just change base
statistics of weapons and armor. Weapons made of Dwarven Iron for instance deal slightly
better damage but weight more while Elven Steel are lighter. The following is some sample
materials and what they do to certain items.

Cost is a multiplier based on the item in question. So a Longsword made of Dwarven Iron
would cost 2x as much as a regular Longsword made of standard Steel.

Items made from fine materials like this can also make great loot for players in addition to
other magical effects they may hold. For instance, a Javelin can be made of Runic Steel and
hold 2 Lightning Arcana Spells that can be used once per day each without MP, Fatigue or
Surges. Try experimenting with combinations like this to give unique rewards to your players
for their triumphant gaming.

The TN listed for the material is for either a Smithing or Crafting Test to make something
of that material. The TH number is the Threshold for such Tests as they are Advanced Tests

Material Type Cost X TN TH Effects

Material Descriptions:

Alchemical Silver: Alchemical Silver is actually placed over existing metals like a sword. Its properties can protect against and
deal damage to magical creatures
Birch: Birch is the most common type of wood around but holds no real magical properties
Blood Crystal: Blood Crystals are the remains of petrified woods and holds a crimson color. It is not known how they were made
this way, but the inherent magical properties seem to be not from this realm as their existence was not discovered until the Shadow
War. Blood Crystals can be found abundant in two places in Izmer; Wintervale Forest near the Tower of Reign, and Mistrain Valley
Cold Iron: Cold Iron is a rare material made from steel in a very specific way. Cold Iron has magic infused in its cold-forging
process that makes it useful against magical creatures
Darkleaf Cloth: A mysterious plant creates this cloth; it seems to have properties that shimmer with darkness…
Dragon Hide: Made from the very skin of a Dragon, this material is rare and is highly regulated due to the nature of how
dragons and people live in harmony
Dwarven Iron: Heavy iron made by the Dwarves from underground veins of material. They use a specific smelting technique
that makes the Iron stronger but does add some weight to it. This is also a very closely guarded secret and they do not reveal its
process lightly
Elm: Elm is an abundant wood that is lighter and easier to manipulate than Birch
Elven Steel: Elven Steel is a light material; often called Mythril by the Dwarves; and is made with an enchantment ritual while it
is being shaped. This enchantment makes it lighter while giving it extra protection
Griffon Mane: Made from the fine hairs of the mane of a griffon, this material is light and even maintains the natural abilities of
the griffons flight; or so they say…
Hide: Hide is simple and made from the leathers of many different types of animals. It is the most common form of material for
clothing around
Inscribed Leather: Made from basic leathers but inscribed with arcane runes; Inscribed Leather is most commonly used by
Mages as it is light but adds protection but costs no Strain to use
Runic Steel: Runic Steel was a rare mineral added to steel when it is in the forge. The ways to make Runic Steel are not entirely
lost but are very rare to find. Runic Steel is light but strong and adds arcane protection to its user
Steel: Basic Steel can be found pretty much anywhere and is the most common material for weapons and armors
Sylvanwood: Made from the rare wood of the Sylvan Trees long petrified; Sylvan wood is said to be once living as Sylvans were
thought to once roam the lands after the great Al’Graziri stopped the storms of chaos. They are thought to be the first true race of
Kintara…
Voidskin: Made from some of the creatures that came through from the other realm during the Shadow War; Voidskin is not
evil but having it is seen as a bad omen
Whipwood: Whipwood is uncommon but a very elastic wood that is good for making bows and crossbows as it makes their
draw strength easier for the user. Other uses have been found for it but they are not in full practice yet
Yew: Yew is a common material and used for mare advanced weapons and shields. It is a bit denser than Birch but it does not
add to its weight
 KITS AND THEIR USES: Each Kit provides a bonus when used to perform specific tasks. Tools and Kits are
for specific Tests and have a limited number of uses before you must get another one. This chart below details Background Kits
each Kit, its cost in Silver and what they add to. Below this chart is the list of their degrees of effectiveness and
their bonus to their cost. The better the Kit, the more it costs but the more you get out of them as well. As part of your

There are 3 levels of Kit to consider.

Level Bonus Uses Cost X
Basic +1 10 -
Average +2 15 X2
Master +3 20 X5
As you can see, the better the Kit, the more uses and better bonus you receive. In addition to that; the cost will increase based
on the level of the Kit. Basic Kits are more readily available and are thus at the costs above in the first chart. Average Kits are a little
less common but only cost twice as much as regular ones. Master Kits are the most expensive since they are not as mass produced
and are of finer quality. They cost five times the base amount above.
 LOCKS AND SHACKLES: Locks and Shackles are good for hiding things from others or binding them together. They follow the
same rules for the most part since they both use a similar mechanism to lock things down. The TN you see is both for a Dexterity
(Lock Picking) or Strength (Might) Test. The Lock Picking one is if you attempt to pick the lock with tools and the Might Test is if
you want to just use brute force to break the lock instead.

Base TN of Shackle with TN +2 to Cast +50
1. Magical Locks and Shackles are unique. Select the Quality you wish to have and then apply the bonus to the TN and increase
the Cost. These versions have magical runes or reinforcements that make their Quality a bit better but at a larger price. They are also
a bit rarer since the magics required to create them are very subtle and not widely known. You can also get one you have enchanted
by a professional for 40 additional silver instead of the base 50. They can also be combined with the Intricate or Sturdy models,
allowing better versions to be made
2. Intricate Locks and Shackles have a device that increases their effectiveness, but they are a bit more fragile. You increase
the TN by +1 when attempting to Pick the Lock but reduce it by -1 when attempting to break it
3. Sturdy Locks are harder to break but are not as effective at holding things together. This is the opposite of Intricate, so you
increase its TN when trying to Break it, but a -1 when picking it
4. Anti-Magic ones only come in Shackles and not Locks with no bonus to Picking or Breaking. The one being bound must pass
the TN+2 of the Shackle as a Willpower (Self-Discipline) Test or they cannot cast spells. They can attempt this once per hour bound. If
they succeed, they also incur a -2 penalty to cast spells while worn. So even if the person succeeds, it is still harder to cast than
normal. They can also be combined with Intricate and Sturdy models.
 ARCANE DEVICES: Arcane Devices are a staple for any caster in Izmer. This can be a finely crafted staff

Arcane Devices grant bonuses, and if they

There are two major types of Arcane Devices, Common and Uncommon. While most of them help in channeling
magic; the difference is occurrence. Common Devices are easier to get a hold of and are thus more common while
Uncommon ones are far fewer as they are more specialized. The GM should allow the Player to begin with a Common
Arcane Device and have Uncommon ones as a sort of reward.
Common Effects
Devices
Holy Symbols A staple amongst clerics and paladins, Holy Symbols come in the shape of their chosen deity. So long as the
person remains on the good side of their chosen god; they can access Divine Stunts to replace Magic or Combat
once per encounter (these are listed on pages 116-118 of the Core Rulebook)
Rings/Amulets Rings and Amulets fall under the same category as pieces of jewelry. In fact, any piece of reasonable jewelry can
be an Arcane Device in this case. Select a Magic Stunt that costs 4 or more Stunt Points to use. This Stunt for you
can be cast for 1 SP less once per encounter. The user can select a new Stunt once per day at dawn
Staves Probably the most common of all Arcane Devices and the iconic item used by Mages; Staves count as a
Quarterstaff weapon and are given for free, even if the mage selects another weapon for their starter. Staves also
allow the Arcane Blast to be channeled into the staff itself during a melee attack. This is a 2 SP Stunt and adds the
Arcane Blast damage to the melee damage rolled, but the user must select either Willpower or Strength as their
modifier when doing so
Wands Also fairly common and iconic, Wands are smaller pieces of bone or wood with ornate carvings and sigils. They
allow the user to use an Arcane Blast as a Minor Action instead of a regular attack. Also, they often come with 4
charges and one chosen Arcana. The user can cast 4 spells from it once per day each; two from the Novice, one
from the Expert and one from the Master of the selected Arcana. This recharges after 24 hours after spending the
first charge

Gauntlets Gauntlets are devices with arcane energies flowing through them, also giving the user protection. It gives the user a

the Standard Magic Point System, but they have alternates if they are using Fatigue or Surge Casting (More on those with the New
Arcana later in this section)
***Nightshade will not put anyone to the Dying Condition if they reach 4 th level of Fatigue but they are instead completely
incapacitated

HALLUCINATIONS: Hallucinations are caused by certain Poisons and Bombs. If the target fails the roll to resist the
effects of a hallucination, then the GM will roll 1d6 on this chart for some sample hallucinations that they might
experience. The GM and players might come up with unique effects and it is up to the GM to decide the final effects of a
hallucination.
Roll Hallucination Effect
1 STOP MOCKING ME! The effected will attack the nearest object for the duration of the effect, even trees and rocks
2 GET IT OFF! The effected freaks out and swats at nothing on their clothing for duration
3 TRAITOR! The effected will attack the closest ally for duration
4 WHAT IS THAT? The effected runs from nothing for duration
5 THE SHADOWS ARE ALIVE! The effected will run and hide from crawling things in the shadows for duration
6 FOUL BEASTS! The effected will attack at nothing for duration

When crafting Potions and Elixirs; you have no ill effects when you fail a crafting roll. Poisons and Bombs however
are far more volatile and thus you run the risk of hurting yourself when you create them. If you fail any roll when
creating a Poison or Bomb and you rolled a 1 on the Stunt Die, roll 1d6 and apply the appropriate Hazard:
Roll Effect
1 You suffer double damage and the effects last twice as long. You waste all your ingredients and your tools are broken. You
cannot take any more attempts on this formula for the day
2-3 You suffer the normal damage of the poison/grenade you are trying to make and the effects last twice as long. You waste
some of the ingredients. Your tools are damaged, and you suffer a -2 on your next attempt
4-5 You suffer the normal effect and damage of the poison/grenade you are trying to build. You waste some of the ingredients
but take no penalties on your next attempt
6 No danger posed, you managed to deflect any incoming damage
 KABOOM!: As stated in the Grenade Style Talent, you can become immune to this Stunt (Listed on pages 37 and 38 of the 1e
Basic Rulebook). This Stunt can be used against you when you have prepared but not thrown a grenade or have one on your belt or
bandolier. This stunt can also be used by players against enemies who have done the same. While the talent makes you immune to
the damage, the vial is still lost as per the stunt.

COMPONENTS: As an optional rule, the GM may require certain Components to be used in order to craft anything. This is
largely up to the GM and the required formula is needed to craft anything as always. This is to give the GM an idea of how many
units of an item to require to craft in addition to the Test required to make it. Success or failure will result in losing the amount of
the item in question. These components listed are just examples of what can be done. The GM may add or remove from these
samples as they see fit.

Item Components
Accuracy Potion Flask 1, Ground Hawk Skull 1, Liquidation Agent 1, Concentration Agent 1
Acid Vial Chemical Compounds 2, Flask 1
Antidote Flask 1, Sample of Toxin 2, Distillation Agent 1
Arsenic Sample of Arsenic 2, Concentration Agent 1, Flask 1
Barkskin Potion Shandrala Bark 2, Distillation Agent 1, Concentration Agent 1, Flask 1
Blast Vial Alondrite Powder 1, Water 2, Flask 2

Casters Brew Pure Aether Dust 2, Liquidation Agent 1, Flask 1
Elixir of Might Ground Orc Tusk 1, Liquidation Agent 1, Concentration Agent 1, Flask 1
Elixir of Quickness Flask 1, Ground Charge Stone 1, Liquidation Agent 1, Concentration Agent 1
Fire Vial Ground Fire Stone 2, Liquidation Agent 1, Flask 1

Magic Potion Flask 1, Refined Alabaster Stone 2, Concentration Agent 1, Liquidation Agent 1

Rogues Brew Flask 1, Darkshade Flower 2, Liquidation Agent 1
Thunder Vial Ground Thunder Stone 2, Liquidation Agent 1, Flask 1
Wolvesbane Wolvesbane extract 3, Distillation Agent 1, Concentration Agent 1, Flask 1
The exact names of each component are up to the GM and charts of the formulae should be made as a way of keeping track of
what the players can do. This is not only fun but also adds an element of wanting to search for components. The exploration side of
crafting is endless at this point. This idea can also be used as is, but altered a bit per degree of formula. For instance, you can make it
so that an Expert Red Lotus Poison requires 4 Red Lotus Blossoms instead of 2 and also a Distillation Agent of 1 on top of the
Concentration Agent and Flask. This is so that higher-tiered formulae are harder to make and require more materials.
 TRAPS: Traps are a complicated mess as well. It takes a keen eye to spot them but dexterous fingers to disarm them. Unlike
making Poisons or Potions, the Trap-Making Talent is not fully required to spot
or attempt to disarm Traps, but it is required to craft them. Now, Traps take a
bit of time to make but really do not take long at all to set. You can set them
outside of combat with little time taken; or in combat as a Full Round of
concentration. Traps have two Target Numbers, a Spot TN and a Disarm TN.
Certain effects added to the Trap will increase or decrease one of these or
increase or decreases the damage they inflict. The first chart will show you
what the base Traps are for Novice, Expert and Master including materials cost
and time to craft. The second chart will show you the effects; what they do, and
how they modify the Traps baseline form

Degree Damage Spot TN Disarm TN Effects Cost-Make Cost-Buy Time

Novice 1d6 9 9 1 10 15 1 day
2d6 11 11 1 20 25 1 day
Expert 3d6 13 13 2 35 40 2 days
4d6 15 15 2 50 55 2 days
Master 5d6 17 17 3 75 80 4 days
6d6 19 19 3 100 115 4 days
NOTE ON SPOT TN: The above Spot TN is for anyone actively searching for Traps. However, you may come across one without
being aware that they are there to begin with. To do this, the GM will compare the Spot TN against the persons Notice Score. If their
Notice is higher than the Spot TN, they see it or at least notice something is wrong. If the player decides to search, then they make a
Perception (Searching) Roll vs. the Spot TN as normal.

NOTE ON DISARM TN: To Disarm the Trap, it is an Intelligence (Engineering) or Dexterity (Traps) Test vs. the Disarm TN.
Sometimes the players wish to salvage the Trap for raw materials for use later. If this is the case, the Disarm TN is also the Salvage
TN. This keeps things simple and easy to remember

As you Notice, you can make or purchase two versions of each Degree of Trap. The more damage it does, the more it
will cost and the more effects that you can have placed on it. Again, the next chart will show you what each effect is,
how it changes the base Trap, and the degree restriction if any.
Effect Reduction Bonus Restriction
Alarm -1d6 damage Triggering the Trap sets off an alarm that alerts the one who set the -
trap
Marking -1d6 damage Marks the one who set it off with a bright paint. Tracking the painted -
one is at a +2 bonus until they reach water to wash it off
Area Effect -1d6 damage 2-yard radius -
Wide Effect -2d6 damage 4-yard radius Expert
Expansive Effect -3d6 damage 6-yard radius Master
Intricate -1 Spot TN +1 Disarm TN -
Tricky -2 Spot TN +2 Disarm TN Expert
Convoluted -3 Spot TN +3 Disarm TN Master
Alluring -2 Spot TN Must pass Disarm TN Willpower (Self-Discipline) Test or -2 to Defense -
upon trigger (Lasts 3 rounds)
Fascinating -3 Spot TN Must pass Disarm TN+2 Willpower (Self-Discipline) Test or -3 to Expert
Defense upon trigger (Lasts 4 rounds)
Concealed -1 Disarm TN +1 Spot TN -
Hidden -2 Disarm TN +2 Spot TN Expert

Prone -1d6 damage Target must pass a TN=Disarm Dexterity (Acrobatics) Test or are Expert
knocked Prone
Piercing -1 Spot and Disarm TN Damage is Piercing Expert
Penetrating -3 Spot and Disarm TN Damage is Penetrating Master
Slick -1d6 damage Creates a slick patch that is 4 yards in radius. Anyone within must pass Expert
 a TN=Disarm Dexterity (Acrobatics) Test or they can only take a Minor
Action. Any Major Action would knock them Prone. The Slick is also
flammable and can be ignited by any open flame or spell
Igniting Slick -2d6 damage As the Slick effect above, but the mechanism automatically triggers fire Master
to ignite the flame. Anyone in the flame takes 1d6 Fire damage every
round for the next 4 rounds or dowsed with water
Grenade -1 Spot and Disarm TN Add the effect of 1 Novice Bomb -
Blasting -2 Spot and Disarm TN Add the effect of 1 Expert Bomb Expert
Bomb -3 Spot and Disarm TN Add the effect of 1 Master Bomb Master
Poisoned -1 Spot and Disarm TN Adds Novice Poison Effect at half the normal duration -
Sickening -2 Spot and Disarm TN Adds Expert Poison Effect at half the normal duration Expert
Deadly -3 Spot and Disarm TN Adds Master Poison Effect at half the normal duration Master
Harmful -1 Spot and Disarm TN +1d6 Damage -
Painful -2 Spot and Disarm TN +2d6 Damage. Cannot have Penetrating Effect Expert
Crippling -3 Spot and Disarm TN +3d6 Damage. Cannot have Piercing or Penetrating Effects Master

SAMPLE TRAPS: Here are a few Traps to get started with. There are 2 per Degree to show what can be done with the Spot and
Disarm TN. Leg Trap began as a 1d6 base damage; Blade Trap began at 2d6 base damage, Wolvesbane Trap began at 3d6, Heavy
Leg Trap began at 4d6, Fire Trap began at 5d6 and the Crushing Leg Trap began at 6d6.

a separate attack roll on your turn using either Accuracy for the Short-sword or Fighting for the Longsword. It deals that weapon
damage plus your Willpower on a hit and it does not take up any hands to use. It lasts for 1 minute before fading, and you must
spend a Minor Action to use its effect

PHANTOM SHIELD
Requires War Arcana (Novice) Cost 5 MP
Time Major TN 11
Test None Type Defensive
You summon a Medium shield that floats around you and protects you from harm. For 1 minute, it provides a +2 bonus to Defense

SPECTRAL ARROW
Requires War Arcana (Novice) Cost 4+ MP
Time Major TN 13
Test Dexterity (Acrobatics) Type Attack
You can summon an arrow to attack your targets at range. The first arrow costs 4 MP and you can summon one additional arrow
for 2 extra MP each; up to 3 extra arrows (4 arrows total for 10 MP). For each arrow, you can hit one target or multiple targets
within a 20-yard range of your sight. If you select multiple targets, they must be within 5 yards of the initial target. Each arrow
deals 1d6+Willpower in damage. If you hit the same target, then add the dice together before adding your Willpower. So, if you fire
all 4 at a target it becomes 4d6+Willpower but if fired at 2 targets with 4 arrows, its 2d6+Willpower on each target. If the target
passes the above Dexterity (Acrobatics) Test vs. your Spellpower, then they only take 1d6 damage per arrow

SUMMON WEAPON

SWORD SPIRAL

Time Major TN 13
Test Constitution (Stamina) Type Defensive
You create several small blades that spin around you. Anyone within melee range at the end of their turn must pass the above test

their next turn when the arrows fade. If they pass, they can move freely and only take 2d6 Piercing damage

Sunder their armor and reduce its AR by 1 point. The spear also ignores any Magical Resistance a creature may have towards non-
magical weapons
 OPTIONAL CASTING METHODS: Fatigue and Surge

Fatigue Casting: Instead of Magic Points; players may wish to use Fatigue. Each time they cast one of their Spells, they must also
roll for Fatigue. This is a Willpower Test with the appropriate Arcana Focus if you have it. So,
if you are casting a Fire Spell and have the Fire Arcana Focus, you add its bonus to your
Fatigue Roll. The TN will vary based on the MP cost of the Spell in question. This is calculated
as 9 plus half the MP cost (Rounded Down). So, if a spell costs only 4 MP, then that’s 9+2 for a
TN 11 Fatigue roll. There is more detail on Fatigue casting on page 92 of the Modern Age
Basic Rulebook

Strain: Strain will; instead of forcing you to spend more MP; add a penalty to your
Fatigue Roll. For instance, since Scout Armor has a Strain of 2, if you cast magic in Scout
armor you will suffer a -2 to your Fatigue Roll

Pushing the Spell (Fatigue Version): On page 115 of the Fantasy Age Core Rules for
second edition; they mention that a caster can “Push” a spell by spending more MP to make
up the difference between their failed test and the spells TN. If this is the case for a Fatigue
Caster, then the caster can automatically make it a success at the cost of automatically taking
the degree of Fatigue rather than rolling for it. You still do not gain Stunts as you never technically succeeded the Spell, but you
make it happen at the cost of fatigue

Surge Casting: Instead of Magic Points or Fatigue, there is another option for players to cast magic from. This system is called
the “Surge” rule and it basically means that you only have a limited amount of times per long rest to cast magic. Instead of
calculating Spell Points or rolling for Fatigue, you only have a limited number of spell surges to cast from. Surges can have a unique
application to casting magic as the person has to be very careful in what they can do each day. This can lead to unique role-playing
applications and even storytelling aspects that can create cool arcs

This chart below shows you how many you have at each level with a bonus equal to half of your Willpower rounded down with a
minimum of 0. So as an example, a level 3 hero has a base number of 3 surges with a bonus equal to half Willpower. If she has a
Willpower of 2, then she adds 1 for a total of 4 Surges per day. NOTE: Spell level does not have any cost increases to Surges. 1
Surge per spell…period. You still gain Arcana Talents at the required levels and can learn more spells, but they all cost 1
surge per use. The GM may increase this to 2 Surges for Master Level spells due to their power.
Level Surges Level Surges Level Surges Level Surges Level Surges
1 2 5 4 9 6 13 8 17 10
2 2 6 4 10 6 14 8 18 10
3 3 7 5 11 7 15 9 19 11
4 3 8 5 12 7 16 9 20 11
This chart here is for the Mage Class of casters. Arcane Dabblers use a different set of rules; gaining only 2 Surges at Novice
Degree of the Talent; 4 at Journeyman and 6 at Master. Arcane Dabblers cast less than their full caster counterparts, but still gain
half their Willpower as Bonus

Strain: Strain will; instead of forcing you to spend more MP; add a penalty to your Casting Roll. For instance, since Scout Armor
has a Strain of 2, if you cast magic in Scout armor you will suffer a -2 to your Casting Roll

Pushing the Spell (Surge Version): On page 115 of the Fantasy Age Core Rules for second edition; they mention that a caster can
“Push” a spell by spending more MP to make up the difference between their failed test and the spells TN. If this is the case for a
Surge Caster, then they use a second Surge to make the spell happen. They still do not gains Stunts as they never technically made
the spell, but you made it happen by costing another point of Surge
 Minor Arcana: In the Fantasy Age Companion book page 53; they had rules for optional Minor Arcana. To expand the rules a
touch, mages learn a number of these Minor Arcana equal to their
Intelligence score with a minimum of 1. At levels 3, 6, 9, 12, 15,
and 18, they gain an additional Minor Arcana as well as one each
time they spend an Advancement on Intelligence (This must take
the score up a full point). Envoys, Rogues and Warriors who gain
degrees in the Arcane Disciple Specialization gain 2 of these
effects at Novice and one more at Journeyman and Master and
can add their Intelligence Score.

As a general rule; Minor Arcana take very little time to

generate and thus only takes a Minor Action to cast. However, the
GM may also make the player roll a Willpower or Intelligence Test
to cast them; depending on what they are trying to affect. The TN should be simple and anywhere form 9-13; and they can add Self-
Discipline to Willpower or Arcane Lore to Intelligence if they have them. If they pass, it takes no MP to use it but it does take their
minor action. If they fail, they do not cast it and waste their minor action.

these are used.

FLANKING: There may be a time that you are beside or behind a target. This is called Flanking and it
provides you with a bonus on your attack. Attacking someone’s Flank means you ignore up to 2 points of Cover or Shield Bonus they
may possess, making it easier for you to hit.

FALLING DAMAGE: There might be a time that you will fall far and suffer some damage. The higher the fall, the greater the
Dexterity (Acrobatics) Test you must take in order to reduce damage. This chart shows the height in yards, the TN and the damage
of a passed (P) or failed (F) test.

Yards TN Damage (P) Damage (F)

1 7 - 1d3
2 9 1d3 1d6

You also take a condition when you fail the Test. From 1-2 yards; you just take Stunned. From 3-4 yards, you are Prone for the
remainder of the round. 5-6 yards, you are Prone until the end of your next turn. 7-8 yards, you are Prone and Injured for the next 2
rounds. Beyond 8, you are Prone, Injured and Bleeding for 4 rounds. Bleeding is 5 points per round in Penetrating damage, but
Constitution can reduce it to a minimum of 1 point per round (See the next few pages for Conditions)

SURPRISE ATTACKS: It is possible to Surprise an enemy. If you succeed in not being detected until then, you receive a +1 bonus
to Attack and Damage for the first round. Once everyone has had a chance to take Initiative, then combat is regular and this bonus is
lost.
 CRITICAL MISSES: Now, we all miss our mark from time to time, but sometimes, we fail so drastically that it warrants a
fantastic Critical Miss. Now, this is divided into 3 types here; Melee, Ranged and Magical. Normally when you miss, you just miss.
But, if you miss with a Stunt Die of 1, then it becomes a Critical Miss. The GM will then roll 2d6 on the appropriate chart and apply
the effect to your character.

Melee Critical Misses

2d6 roll Effect
2 You suffer a -2 to attack rolls for the next 2 combat rounds
3 You trip and fall prone
4 In the next round, you drop to the bottom of the initiative order, despite original position
5 You fumble and drop your weapon
6 You suffer a -2 to your defense for being off balance
7 You hit yourself and deal normal weapon damage with modifiers and reduce by armor as normal
8 You overreach with your weapon. Select your Strength or Dexterity. You take a -1 penalty to that Ability for 1d3 days
9 You hit an ally that is adjacent to you
10 Your weapon gets lodged into the ground or other object and you must make a TN 13 Strength (Might) Test to remove
it before attacking again as a Minor Action
11 Roll twice on this chart, ignoring an 11 or 12
12 Roll three times on this chart, ignoring an 11 or 12
Ranged Critical Misses
2d6 roll Effect
2 You fumble and drop your weapon
3 Your weapon snaps back on you, dealing 1d3 damage and you lose your Major Action
4 You hit an ally that is within 6 yards of target
5 In the next round, you drop to the bottom of the initiative order, despite original position
6 You trip and fall prone
7 You suffer a -2 to attack rolls for the next 2 combat rounds
8 Your weapon kicks back hard. Select your Strength or Dexterity. You take a -1 penalty to that Ability for 1d3 days
9 You suffer a -2 to your defense for being off balance
10 You miss your target but hit another enemy within 6 yards of your target
11 Roll twice on this chart, ignoring an 11 or 12
12 Roll three times on this chart, ignoring an 11 or 12
Magical Mishaps
2d6 roll Effect
2 The mage loses the spell and must pay twice the normal Mana Cost or automatically suffer 1 degree of Fatigue
3 The spell fails and burns you for 1d6 damage
4 The mage goes into a sort of shock and cannot cast on their next turn
5 The spell drains more than your power. Select either your Intelligence or your Willpower. You suffer a -1 penalty to that
Ability for 1d3 days
6 The mage suffers a -2 to Spellpower for 1 minute
7 The mage suffers a -2 on all casting rolls for 1 minute
8 The mage becomes Stunned for the next 2 rounds
9 The mage suffers a -2 to your defense for the next 2 rounds
10 The energies expel outward, dealing 1d6 damage to all within 5 yards of the mage
11 Roll twice on this chart, ignoring an 11 or 12
12 Roll three times on this chart, ignoring an 11 or 12
 CALLED SHOTS: It may be prevalent to the player to try and knock a weapon out of an enemy’s hand, since he has a hostage;
but how is this handled? Well, you simply call the shot of their hand or arm and apply the appropriate penalty to your attack roll.
Easy as pie. This chart here shows the areas you can attack, a sample difficulty rating, and the penalty required to hit. Harder to
reach areas imply a harder penalty. Doing this may also imply a Condition to the target if you hit and your Stunt Die is a 5 or 6.
The sample difficulties are: Easy -1, Tricky -2, Hard -3, Challenging -4, and Impossible -5

Location Type Penalty Condition

Head Tricky -2 Stunned or Confused
Eye Impossible -5 Blinded
Neck Challenging -4 Stunned
Chest Easy -1 Winded
Heart Impossible -5 Hindered or Stunned
Vitals Challenging -4 Winded or Hindered
Arm Easy -1 Hindered or Defenseless
Leg Easy -1 Slowed or Prone
Joint Hard -3 Hindered

CONDITIONS: There are plenty of Conditions listed in the 2e core rules on pages 53-55; but here are some optional ones, and
some that may be Variants of the older ones. These are interchangeable with the above Called Shots rule, allowing the GM to make
Conditions based on targets hit; such as hitting the Chest may cause Bleeding damage over time; or striking a limb can cause the
Injured Condition. This is up to the GM on what types of Conditions are made by Called Shots

 BLEEDING: You suffer damage over time. Usually it’s about 2 points of Penetrating Damage but deeper wounds might cause
more. The time is determined by the GM and can be reduced by your Constitution score if the GM allows
 BOUND: You are fully bound and cannot move or take Major actions on your turn. You can attempt to free yourself with a
Strength (Might) Test or with your weapon if you happened to be carrying it when bound. The TN and duration are set by the
spell, item or GM discretion. Variation of Defenseless
 COMPELLED: You must pass a Willpower (Self-Discipline) Test on each round of the duration to resist falling into the
temptations that are being placed in your head. The TN and Duration are set by specific Spells, Items or GM discretion
 HEXED: A mage that is hexed will suffer a penalty to Casting rolls or Spellpower for a short time. Other players will suffer a
similar penalty to any Test the GM sees fit. The GM will determine the severity of the hex in question
 INJURED: Based on the type of injury, you will suffer a -1 or -2 to an Ability Test. Sample Injuries include being Hamstrung (-2 to
Dexterity) or Head Injury (-1 to Intelligence). The duration of the effect and its severity are up to the GM
 PARALYZED: Cannot move and Defenses reduced by -3. Variation of Slowed
 POISONED: You are under the effects of a Poison. Its duration and effects are determined by the Poison in question
 SILENCED: You automatically fail any Communication Test that requires verbal communication. Any other form of talking, like
with gestures, might suffer a small -2 penalty instead

ACTION AND DRAMA: This game is all about drama and peril. With that there are a few extra rules allowed to the players as it
sets the tone for what they can do. Since the Izmer setting is one of high-flying
action and drama; we allow the following rules to be played:

ACTION POINTS: We use the action Points as stated in the Companion

book Pages 116/117. Each player begins level 1 with 2 points and gains 1 point
every 4 levels starting at level 4. So you then have 3 at level 4, 4 at level 8, 5 at
level 12, 6 at level 16 and 7 at level 20.

STUNT PACKAGES: Stunt Packages are a unique combination of stunts

that anyone can use. These are listed in the Companion on pages 199-122.

PERIL AND DARING: The Peril Pool and Daring are listed in the 2e Core
Rules pages 194-198. This is a great system to show that things can go rather
wrong rather quick if the players are not careful. In addition to this, Daring
means they can have some sort of serendipity when it comes to having things not go their way.

As a side rule, since it is not stated in the 2e Core Rules, the GM will add 1 to the Peril Pool when they use an Action Point to use
any of its effects. This acts as a sort of luck that has a risk/reward system.
 Part Seven: The dragons

STANDARD DRAGON TYPES: The ones listed here are the most common forms many Dragons take.
This is mostly due to their color as opposed to their overarching type. You will see that each of the basic
types have 3 colors that are associated with them.
DRAGONS: Those of the Gold, Red and Diamond types use the stats as written on page 215 of the Core Book with little change
except for breath weapon type.
DRAKES: Drakes are those of the Silver, Black and Sapphire colors. They lose their wings and thus lose their Flying Speed and
Buffet Power. However, they are a bit tougher, gaining a +1 to Constitution, +10 to Health and +1 to AR.
WYVERNS: Wyverns are those of the Bronze, Blue and Onyx colors. They keep their Flying speed and Buffet Power, but take a -2
to Constitution and -1 to AR. They do however fly faster at a Speed of 17. Due to their two legged nature, they can still make Claw
Attacks but they cannot move in the same round they do so
WYRMS: Wyrms are the Brass, Green and Ruby colors. They lose all Flying and Buffet abilities but gain the ability to Burrow.
Their 15 Fly Speed becomes a 15 Burrow Speed. This also comes with tougher hide giving them a +1 to AR but they have a softer
underbelly. For 4 SP, an attack can hit this soft tissue and deal penetrating damage to the dragon. Since they have no limbs either,
they lose their claw attacks but can make a tail attack and bite attack in the same turn as if they had claws, without using stunt
points to activate their tail bash.
COATL: Coatl are legless but not wingless; and are the Copper, White and Amethyst colors. Their health drops by -15 but its Fly
Speed is 17. Its normal speed is reduced to 8 since it has no real limbs but it can still slither around. It loses its claw attacks but like
the Wyrms, they can use their tails without using Stunt Points as a second attack per round.

RARE DRAGON TYPES: There are a few rare dragon types that alter further how the function. These are abnormalities in the
normal genetic code of things but can make for unique encounters.
HYDRA: Hydra have multiple heads, ranging from two to five. Any of the above colors can have multiple heads and it allows 2
bite attacks as one major action. Each head attacks separate and each attack can generate their own stunts. Also, they are immune
to effects that would charm or put it to sleep as they now have more than one mind. In addition to this, they gain a +1 to Perception
and cannot be affected by a sneak attack.
 LYNDWORM: Lyndworms have really long bodies and often times a dozen legs. Only Drakes can have the Lyndworm addition.
Drakes with this deformity also gain Burrowing like their Wyrm counterparts. Their Burrow Speed is 15 and their base Speed
increases to 15 as well.
FAE DRAGONS: Any Dragon type and color can be Fae. Fae dragons lose their inherent breath power but gain the ability to cast
magic. They have 45 Magic Points and a Spellpower of 14. It knows 4 degrees of Arcana of choice; including the focuses if they gain
an Expert degree. The spells are chosen by the GM. Also, they may lose 15 Health points, but they gain a +1 to both Intelligence and
Communication
SEA SERPENTS: Often times only a Wyrm or Coatl become Sea Serpents, however some Sea Serpent Drakes have been seen.
They gain the Aquatic feature in the Rule Book and gain a Swim Speed equal to their normal Speed. They also are not typically
Metallic due to water and fire not going together. A Coatl as a Sea Serpent loses its flight but has a +2 yard bonus to speed due to
the wings acting as larger fins underwater
DRAGONETTE: Dragonettes are smaller dragons; not babies but more akin to Halflings or Gnomes to regular Dragons. Reduce
Constitution and Strength to 3 each but keep the focuses and reduce damage accordingly (So -5 to the damages written for Bite,
Claw and Tail Bash). AR is reduced to 5 and health is dropped to 80. Speeds are dropped to 10 Run and 13 Flying. It also loses the
Large and In Charge power and its Buffet power is reduced to a TN of 13. Breath Weapon is reduced to 2d6+3 in damage.
Dragonettes can also benefit from the additions of their normal counterparts and even another rare version, creating some unique
designs like a Dragonette Fae Wyvern!

DRAGONS AND DRAGON RODS:

 DRAGON-FORGED WEAPONS AND ARMOR: Similar in rules to the Materials stated in the Equipment,
Dragonforged items are far rarer than those listed in that Rewards
section.

resistant to that element, taking only half damage on top of normal AR reduction. This reduction cannot stack with a shield made of
the same element. Leathers can have small plates of Dragonforged metal attached to give them the same bonuses.

SHIELDS: Some Shields are also made form this Steel and get a +1 bonus to Defense and bashing damage. Once per day for 1
minute, the shield can coat itself in its element. This deals an extra +1d6 of damage based on its element and provides resistance to
it as well, meaning you only take half damage from that element on top of normal AR reduction. This resistance cannot stack with
Armor made from the same element

SPECIAL MATERIALS: It may come to pass that some weapons/armors/shields are crafted by special materials as well as having
been forged by a Dragons Breath. If this is the case, you would apply the material bonuses first, and then add the Dragon-Forged
effect to it. Such things are at a 6x cost modifier instead of the normal 5x for being Dragon-Forged.

ARCANE DEVICES: Arcane Devices have been imbued with Dragon-Forged power for many centuries. Such treasures are highly
sought after by mages and they will pay quite a bit for them. Dragon-Forged Arcane Devices have many differing shapes and sizes
and have one feature no other does. Arcane Blasts channeled through a Dragon-Forged Device gains one of the following Stunts on a
successful strike:

Stunt Cost Effect

Fyre 2 Arcane Blast deals an extra 1d6 of damage and it becomes Fire Damage
Frost 2 Arcane Blast deals an extra 1d6 of damage and it becomes Cold Damage
Charge 2 Arcane Blast deals an extra 1d6 of damage and it becomes Electrical Damage
Keep in mind that if the Device is Dragonfyre, then it has the Fyre Stunt only.

COSTS: As stated, the method to create these items is not totally lost but it is rare. So, the cost should be a whopping 5x the
standard cost; however finding such long-lost treasures might be better for a GM to play with.
 Part Eight: ITEMS OF WONDER
As stated in the Starting Equipment chart, some
GM’s may allow players to begin with a magical item Dragon-Forged
of choice, so long as it is not above Uncommon in
Rarity. This section is for such items, showing what Magic Items

Each item uses this layout to show what they can do:
NAME: Name of the item in question
Rarity How rare the item is, Common, Uncommon, Rare or Legendary
Effects Listed powers the item grants
Drawbacks List negative effects that adversely affect the player
Slot Only Artifacts/Relics carry this stat, to show where they go

RARITY: The rarer an item, the more potential for powers it can grant. This simple formula can be used to build items
and is used as the base for all items listed afterwards.
Rarity Description Effects
Common These are a dime-a-dozen and are easy to get a hold of 1-2
Uncommon Not as seen as Common but still great finds 2-3
Rare Very few of these exist and are sights to behold 3-4
Legendary Items of great power and are usually rather unique; meaning only one exists at a time 4+

EFFECTS: These effects are based off the listed ones on pages 234 and 235 of the Core Rules.

Prowess (Ability Bonus): Adds bonuses to general ability Tests. The bonus can depend on Rarity as well, such as a +1 for
Common, +2 for Uncommon, +3 for Rare and +4 Legendary
Protecting (Armor Bonus): Adds bonuses to Armor Rating are other effects that alter the AR system, such as keeping AR when
taking Penetrating damage
Masterwork (Attack Bonus): Adds its bonus to all attack rolls made with this weapon. This can depend on Rarity but not always
as some rarer items have more than one effect
Keen (Damage Bonus): Like Masterwork, this adds bonuses to all damage made with it. This can also depend on Rarity but not
always
 Defensive (Defense Bonus): Adds a bonus to your Defense when used
Focused (Focus Bonus): Provides a particular Focus when used or increases one already gained
Resistance/Immunity (Immunity Bonus): Provides Resistance or full Immunity to particular types of damage
Magical (Spell Bonus): Can provide bonuses to Casting Rolls or Spellpower when used
Mastery (Stunt Bonus): Provides a reduction to a Stunt or even a new and unique Stunt available to only that item
Supremacy (Talent Bonus): Provides a Talent Degree; usually a Fighting Style if it is a weapon
Arcane (Unique Bonus): a Catch-All category for really special powers that do not fit the above ones

DRAWBACKS: Drawbacks are not required to build items, but do offer some limitations to certain things like unique powers or
Stunts. This is a sample series of Drawbacks:

Charges: Similar to Time Limit, this item has Charges that must be spent to use its powers (Usually if it has multiple powers to
select from). Usually regains charges spent at the start of each day or when conditions are met; like being in daylight or submerged
in water
Generic: A Catch-all for drawbacks that do not have a specific link
Limited Uses: Limits the amount of times this item can be used. Usually a per day or based on Willpower
Potency: The item has a Potency Limit, meaning you have to meet a certain Potency Requirement to use it. See just below for
those rules
Range: Has a limited effective range or must be tied to another object within that range
Requirements: Some Requirements are Ability Score minimums or Focuses that you must have in order to use
Time Limit: Limited time range they can be used. Like, 15 minutes or 1 hour. Usually regains this property after a certain amount
of time, or at the start of each day
Trigger: Requires a command word or hand gesture or other trigger to activate the powers

MAGIC ITMES AND POTENCY: Potency is given to each magical item to represent how tough it is to attune to. The rarer an
item, the more is required to use it. This little chart will show you the Potency requirements for items as a sort of baseline; this
can always be changed per individual item by the GM as they see fit. Potency is calculated as Spellpower for its user; so
10+Willpower. Arcana Focuses do not apply but the GM may allow Self-Discipline to add to a characters Potency. All characters
have Potency

Rarity Base Potency

Common 8
Uncommon 10
Rare 12
Legendary 14
The GM may also change these numbers depending on how unique the item is. They can even reduce it based on how many
Drawbacks it carries

SAMPLE ITEMS: After the placement chart on the next page is a series of pre-built items; approximately 5-10 per slot. This gives
players and GM’s a fun way to start handing out these things as rewards. It also shows how they are built so that GM’s can come up
with their own unique items to give out

PLACEMENT CHART: The next page has a printable sheet you can copy for your players, to help them keep track of their current
magical items and where they belong:
 HEAD: Head Slot items are worn on the head or face, making things like Helms and Goggles apart of the same territory. Only
