 FOREWORD

We all likely share a memory constructed of several key elements: a circle of friends, the rattle of dice, bursts of laughter, heart-
racing excitement, amusing tangents, endearing NPCs, and inside jokes that endure. These are moments we reminisce about for
months, sometimes even years.

Tabletop gaming offers a unique escape, allowing us to immerse ourselves in grand tales and epic adventures crafted by our
own hands. It presents the chance to not just witness a story, but BE the story, and inhabit these rich, fantastical worlds, and
forge our own myths — our very own tales that resonate with us more profoundly than any fandom, novel, or other games
might.

MythCraft emerged from a desire to design a game system that genuinely supports the birth of epic sagas. It seeks to bridge the
gap between complex combat and a love for intricate narratives. Our vision was clear: a game where players needn’t sacrifice
any part of their experience. It delivers the thrill of intricate tactical combat without compromising on roleplay, character
evolution, exploration, or any other non-combat elements that elevate stories to legendary status.

What you have in your hands is the MythCraft Roleplaying Game, meticulously designed to facilitate the most legendary
adventures. It’s built to endure the test of time, to adapt to countless iterations and derivations, and to provide a scaffold upon
which creators can shape their own myths.

While MythCraft’s core ruleset isn’t your typical “pick up and play” for a casual game night, it is purposefully designed to foster
detailed campaigns that may span years in our world and decades within the game’s world. Our aim was to seamlessly integrate
aspects of roleplaying and wargaming, creating a tactical experience without relying on expensive miniatures. We strived
to craft a strategic game that remains uncompromisingly loyal to roleplaying, exploration, adventuring, and all the facets of
tabletop gaming that make it peerless.

Designed with modularity at its core, we aimed to future-proof MythCraft. Once players and creators grasp the foundational
rules, the game offers unparalleled flexibility. Having mastered the principles within, MythCraft’s engine is yours to steer,
forging any universe you envision.

MythCraft is a game for everyone, and it will always remain accessible — free for players, game masters, and creators to
experience and innovate upon.

So, delve into the world of MythCraft, where every decision, whether made in the heat of battle or in the quiet forging of
alliances, bears significance.

We can’t wait to see what myths you’ll craft.

Grant Mielke August 2023

 PREFACE: CHARACTER CREATION
T
his chapter details the exact steps by which you
create a Player Character (PC) for your MythCraft
game. Character creation involves both thinking
about your backstory and your place in the world, and
choosing what mechanical abilities you have.
As you pick your character’s abilities, think about how
that fits in with their personality and backstory. Designing
your character’s mechanics involves five steps:
1. Choose a lineage
2. Assign Attribute Points
3. Note your stats
4. Choose BOP
5. Take a starting talent
L I N E AG E
First, what is your character’s lineage? Pick from well-
known fantasy lineages like dwarf or elf, or play a unique
lineage like a squirrelly kleppin or a biotechnical raedeen.
Chapter 1: Lineages provides an in-depth description of
all lineages. Each lineage allows you to make a choice when
you first create your character, as no lineage is a monolith.
You will either pick a sublineage, or you will pick from a list
of lineage abilities to make yourself unique.
Some lineage options give you Skill Points. You can read
more about how skills work in Chapter 7 (p. 316).
Example: Marcus and Hanniah
Nathan and Andi are creating Marcus, and Grant and Jake are
creating Hanniah.
Marcus is a human, so he gains the “Tenacious” ability, which
gives him 1 additional Attribute Point. Nathan and Andi
assign it to CHA. Humans also get one unique feature from
a list of Human options, so Nathan and Andi pick the “Fast
Friends” ability, granting Marcus Skill Points Leadership and
Persuading.
Hanniah is a kleppin, so she gets the “Scurry” ability. Kleppins
also get two unique features of their choice from the list of
kleppin abilities, so Grant and Jake choose “Climber” and
“Claws.”
A S S I G N AT T R I B U T E S
PCs in MythCraft have eight attributes, which determine
how good you are at various activities. There are three
physical attributes, three mental, and two metaphysical.
Each attribute has a number ascribed to it, which reflects
how good you are at using that attribute. This ranges from
a -3 (terrible) to a +12 (legendary). An average untrained
human has a 0 in a given attribute.
AT T R I B U T E C A P
Each time you level up, you can increase one of your
attributes by 1 (see Leveling Up below). However, your
attributes are always limited based on your level: you can
never have an attribute that exceeds ½ your level+1.
This means that at levels 1 and 2, your attributes cannot
be higher than a +2. At levels 3 and 4, they cannot exceed a
+3, and so on.
A S S I G N I N G AT T R I B U T E
You have 5 Attribute Points that you can assign to your 8
attributes. You may choose to give yourself a -1, -2, or even
a -3 in one or more attributes to grant yourself additional
Attribute Points (for each -1 penalty you take, you get 1
extra Attribute Point). However, note that you must still
observe the attribute cap.
When you assign Attribute Points, jot them down on
both Page 1 and Page 2 of your character sheet. Note that
Page 2 displays all 8 attributes, but Page 1 does not display
Coordination because that attribute is primarily used in
combat, and combat is detailed on Page 2.
R O L L I N G F O R S TA T S
Optionally, if you would prefer to roll for your attributes
and if your MC allows it, roll 2d4 and subtract the second
from the first, resulting in a number between -3 and +3. Do
this 8 times. You can assign these 8 numbers to any of your
8 attributes. Note that this can break the attribute cap rule;
you must observe the attribute cap rule when leveling up,
so you cannot increase a +3 to a +4 until you are at least
level 5.
DISCLAIMER: This optional rule will cause imbalance in
your character as the abilities, talents, spells, and monsters
are designed with standard attributes in mind rather than
rolled attributes. MCs that allow rolled attributes might
impose additional restrictions, such as only allowing one +3
bonus.
P R E FAC E | C H A R AC T E R C R E AT I O N 7
 Example: Marcus Luxxor
Nathan and Andi are both creating Marcus Luxxor,
a human cleric. Nathan gives Marcus 2 points in
STR, 1 point in END, and 2 points in AWR. He gives
Marcus a -1 penalty to DEX to give him 1 point in
CHA.
Andi rolls for her attributes, so she rolls 2d4 and
subtracts the second die from the first. She does this
8 times, resulting in 3, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, and -1. Andi
puts 3 points in STR, 2 in AWR, 1 in END, and 1 in
CHA. She assigns her -1 to DEX.
THE EIGHT ATTRIBUTES
Each of the attributes, and what they represent, are
explained below. Each attribute is referred to with an
abbreviation, listed in parentheses after the attribute.
P H Y S I C A L AT T R I B U T E S
Strength (STR): Lifting, pulling, dragging, and undergoing
strenuous exertion. This is the attribute that demonstrates
your sheer muscle.
Dexterity (DEX): Nimbleness, good reflexes, maintaining
balance, and motor function under duress. This is the
attribute that allows you to be lighter on your feet.
Endurance (END): Withstanding harsh external conditions
and enduring long-term physical strain. This attribute also
directly affects how many HP you get (see Hit Points below).
M E N TA L A T T R I B U T E S
Awareness (AWR): Picking up on sensory details that warn
of danger, deceit, and the like. This is the attribute that
measures your skill at observing and interpreting the world
around you.
Intellect (INT): Wealth of knowledge; your capacity to
quickly consume and accurately retain information. This
attribute determines how good you are at processing
information and recalling it accurately when needed.
Charisma (CHA): Projecting your desires, your confidence,
and your force of will to your advantage. This attribute
reflects your personal magnetism and your ability to sway
people to your views.
M E TA P H Y S I C A L
AT T R I B U T E S
Luck (LUCK): Having things go your way even when they
shouldn’t. This attribute sways fate in your favor and grants
you a special ability: You may reroll 1d20 that you rolled if
you are unsatisfied with the result. You may use this ability
once for every 2 points of LUCK that you have, regaining
all expended uses upon Taking a Rest (see p. 332). If your
LUCK is lower than 0, you can never Crit, and you subtract
your LUCK from every d20 roll that you make.
If you have 1 or more LUCK, your crits become stronger.
Add your LUCK score to critical damage that you deal.
Furthermore, if you have 6 or more LUCK, your crit range
8 P R E FA C E | C H A R AC T E R C R E AT I O N
increases by 1 (e.g., from 20 to 19-20), and if you have 12
LUCK, your crit range increases by 1 more. Your crit range
can never exceed 16-20.
Coordination (COR): Your overall ability, both physically
and mentally, to process information and act upon it. This
is neither DEX (physical) nor AWR (mental), but a separate
mechanism by which the game tracks your capacity to act.
For every 2 points of COR that you have, you gain 1
additional AP at the beginning of your turn (see p. 327).
If you have -1 or -2 COR, you lose 1 AP at the beginning
of your turn. If you have -3 COR, you lose 2 AP at the
beginning of your turn.
N O T E Y O U R S TAT S
Your DEX, END, AWR, INT, and CHA will affect some of your
passive stats, including five of your six defenses and Hit
Points (HP). Note these on your character sheet as directed.
DEFENSES
Your character has six defenses that they might use when
being attacked. Five of the six defenses are linked to specific
attributes, as shown on the table below. You can improve
any defense by equipping armor, using a shield, or gaining
special talents or other abilities.
When attacked, you are hit if the attack roll equals or
exceeds your relevant defense.
Defense Score
Armor Rating (AR) 10
Reflexes (REF) 10+DEX
Fortitude (FORT) 10+END
Anticipation (ANT) 10+AWR
Logic (LOG) 10+INT
Willpower (WILL) 10+CHA
AR represents your physical capacity to block or avoid direct
hits using armor, mastery over weapon fighting styles, and
the like.
REF represents your nimbleness and ability to dodge out of
the way of some attacks, like a stream of acid.
FORT demonstrates how good you are at enduring
punishing environments and effects, such as the intense heat
of a fireball.
ANT reflects your skill at instinctively intuiting a threat
before it hits you. Unlike REF, this defense would be used
when you are unaware of an incoming attack, such as being
ambushed or triggering a tripwire.
LOG demonstrates your skill at thinking clearly under
duress and might be used when a creature attacks you with
enchanting magic that might charm or frighten you.
WILL represents your determination to stay true to yourself.
Depending upon the nature of the attack, enchanting magic
might target your WILL instead of your LOG.
H I T P OI N TS
No matter what level you are, your HP is always 10+(level)
d(X)+(level) where X is a die size determined by your END.
For example, a level 1 character with 0 to 2 points in END
will have 10+1d4+1 HP, and a level 1 character with 3
points in END would have 10+1d6+1 HP. You can always
choose to take a set HP amount instead of rolling, as shown
on the table below.
B OP
BOP stands for the Background, Occupation, and Profession
system in MythCraft. Chapter 2 (see p. 53) explains all
backgrounds and professions in detail. Every background
allows you to gain a profession, except for the urchin

profession with a certain occupation tag, then you gain
additional Skill Points.

TA G S
Spells, talents, class features, items, and the like might have
one or more specific categorizations, or tags. These can
be found in italics under the name of the ability, item, etc.
Other abilities might reference these tags. “Repeatable” and
“prerequisite” are some of the most common tags.
Repeatable. If a feature has the repeatable tag, then that
means that you can select the same feature multiple times,
gaining its benefit each time.
Prerequisites. If a feature has the prerequisite tag, then
there will be certain prerequisites that you must meet
(such as having another lineage option, or having a certain
number in one of your attributes) prior to taking that
option.
SKILLS &
C ON DI T IONS
Like tags, many features and abilities will reference skills
and conditions.
Skills. Many features allow you to gain Skill Points. See
Skills (p. 320) for detailed information on how skills work.
Conditions. Several features interact with conditions and
with resisting or becoming immune to damage. Information
on Resist, or abbreviations such as DT, TA, and the like can
be found in Chapter 7 (p. 331); Conditions are explained in
Chapter 7 and listed in detail in Appendix B (p. 344).

Your profession ranks up slowly and does not do so at a
set rate. Your MC will award you additional levels in your
profession when they feel that it is appropriate for the

hen you create a character at 1st level, you choose your lineage: you might be a human, adaptable and tenacious;
a dwarf, hardy and stalwart; or an otherworldly, recondite elf. Perhaps you come from a less well-known lineage:
maybe you’re a flighty, fuzzy kleppin, enormous trollfolk, cantankerous bhrunai, or even a shambling undead.
At 1st level, you gain your lineage’s base features. You gain one additional lineage feature of your choice at certain character
levels: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 29. This is based on your overall character level, not on how many levels you might have in a
particular class.
 The evidence of this theft could always be found the
following morning in the form of shoes with new soles or
clothes expertly patched with tightly wound swampgrass.
Past bhrunai generally struggled with the concept of
ownership and so these ‘exchanges’ were often deemed as
thefts, though many homes grew to welcome these small
services and so began leaving offerings for the bhrunai
directly. However, it is only in recent centuries that these
once-reclusive beings have emerged from their seclusion
and embraced integration into society at large.
Travelers may now encounter bhrunai as they engage
in commerce in bustling city markets or traverse trade
routes with their turtle-pulled wagons. They have earned
a particularly notable reputation as skilled artisans and
craftsmen and are known to pour themselves into perfecting
a craft over their long lifetimes. They take great pride in
their independence and resourcefulness, relying on their
own abilities to solve problems before seeking assistance.

B H R U N A I C U LT U R E
Bhrunai have traditionally preferred either solitude or the
company of their own kind, building tiny stilted hovels
and forming small communes, usually close to established
settlements with which they could trade. Passersby may
mistake a group of sleeping bhrunai for mossy boulders.
Bhrunai have unique romantic relationships, wherein two
who chose to spend their lives together perform a “Melding”
wherein two become one. This new bhrunai shares the
memories of both mates, but is an entirely new unique
individual. Ten to fifteen years after a Melding, two to four
small, round, pebble-like eggs break off from the bhrunai
while it sleeps, which grow into young.

a captivating appearance they share with their northern

this ancient lineage is deeply intertwined with the myths

the night and take food, trinkets, or other such things they
deemed useful as tools.

 D R AG O N F O L K
On the continent of Gathandia in the first supereon, a
stalwart nation of dwarven warriors managed to fell
an enormous Kaijan. Using elder runemagic through
ancient artifacts that they only partially understood, they
reanimated the corpse of the Kaijan into a new creature.
This was the first dragon.
The dwarven leaders of this nation mastered the craft
and created one more dragon, whereupon the artifacts
broke in a tremendous magical explosion, preventing
the arcane creation of any more dragons. However, the
two dragons had seven offspring, and the nine dragons
departed from the dwarven kingdoms to claim their own
territory. These are the nine true dragons, glorious and
immortal, and from them all drakes, wyverns, winged
serpents, and the like have descended.
Dragonfolk are a proud and mighty remnant of an
ancient kingdom ruled by the immortal nine dragons.
The inhabitants of this lost kingdom were once humans
and other humanoid lineages, and the first generation
of dragonfolk were transformed from these lineages into
their dragonlike bodies through powerful arcane magic
cast by the nine dragons. The descendants of these first
dragonfolk are the dragonfolk that populate Ancerra today.
Though their kingdom has long since fallen into antiquity,
and the dragons themselves are veiled in myth and legend,
most dragonfolk still hold onto the regal bearing of their
ancestors and embrace the finer points of culture such as
art, dance, and song. Visually, they resemble their true
dragon ancestors with tough scales, reptilian tails, curled
horns, and even wings. While most are flightless, all
dragonfolk can breathe fire by tapping into the vestigial
power of their ancestry.

DRAGONFOLK
C U LT U R E
Dragonfolk communities tend to promote matters of self-
improvement and exemplify beauty of the inner self in
all things both physical and intellectual. Most dragonfolk
believe that improvement of the self serves to improve the
community and embrace a “strong links make a strong
chain” mentality. While this can develop tightly-knit
communities built on mutual support, it can also lead to
harsh ostracization of those deemed unsupportive of the
community.
Dragonfolk in society are often praised for their
eagerness to learn, meticulous instruction and service to
the local community. It is not unusual to see dragonfolk
artisans taking on multiple apprentices or to see dragonfolk
city guards organizing community self-defense lessons for
the poor and exploited.
 DRAGONFOLK TRAITS
Height: 5’10 - 6’8”
Weight: 190-300lbs
Size: Medium
Base Speed: 20 ft
Appearance: Dragonfolk coloration varies widely, ranging
from muted browns, grays, and mottled greens to more
dramatic reds, blues, and even purples. Some have a more
metallic or gemlike sheen to their scales, appearing golden,
coppery, crystalline, or rusted. Many are multicolored. Just
like true dragons, dragonfolk horns, spines, frills, and tails
are as varied in appearance as their colorations.
Lifespan: Dragonfolk are a longer-living lineage, reaching
maturity around age 26 with a lifespan of roughly 200
years.
Other Draconic Creatures: Dragonfolk hold other draconic
offspring, such as drakes and wyverns, in the highest
possible regard, with some treating them as divine beings.
Tension with Dwarves: While most dragonfolk accept the
historicity of dwarves having directly created the dragons,
they do not view dwarves as superior. Rather, they typically
believe that the dragons - immortal and wise beyond all
Eons - have far surpassed their own creators in creativity,
power, and splendor.

Dragonfolk Flight: Hover. Prerequisite: Glide. You can
hover up to 5 ft over the ground and can remain 5 ft off the
ground when you move for no additional AP. You cannot fly
vertically. Hover takes sufficient energy and focus that you
cannot benefit from Flutter Jump at the same time.

attack. For this attack, you move in a 30 ft line and make
an END attack vs the FORT of each creature along that line
dealing your normal amount of Fire Breath damage. You
can be no more than 15 ft away from the surface you are
strafing.
Tail Swipe. Using the Trip maneuver only costs 1 AP for
you.
Tough Scales. When you are not wearing armor, your AR
base is 13.

Stout and hearty dwarves are the masters of the
subterranean realm where their ingenuity and natural
affinity with the earth see them digging mighty
underground cities and building long lasting civilizations.
Endless dangers prowl the lightless caverns and dwarves
have developed their mastery of trap and defense against
all manner of threats both above and below. Dwarven
fortresses are some of the most impenetrable bastions in
the known world.
While many dwarves took to subterranean dwellings as a
way to avoid the horrendous scourge of Kaijan during the
first supereon, an intrepid nation of dwarves stayed on the
surface and fought back. Those mighty dwarves that killed
a fearsome Kaijan and used an ancient, mysterious artifact
to turn the Kaijan’s corpse into the first dragon are often
held in reverie by other dwarven nations.
Dwarves are generally distinguished by three
sublineages: the mountain dwarf, crag dwarf, and deep
dwarf. Mountain dwarves, or “Strugar”, carve their
homes in the tallest peaks and laud their thick beards and
natural resistance to the coldest heights. Crag dwarves, or
“Kharn’Khan” build their cities within massive canyons,
both natural and dwarf-made, where each layer is carefully
excavated and then settled. Lastly, the beardless, pale-
skinned deep dwarves, or “Uhn’Gunder”, settle within the
deepest caves of the earth where stories of “daylight” are
told to frighten children.

D WA R V E N C U LT U R E
Dwarves of all types pride their craftsmanship and
architecture. They honor their ancestors with massive
shrines. Mountain dwarves celebrate rare metals and gems,
often using them to embellish their crafts and structures.
As such, dwarvish goods are highly valued in trade. Crag
dwarves tend to focus their societies around ancient ruins
and archeological treasures found in their mines. They are
well known for their clay crafts and stonework. Many crag
dwarf cities are built in restored ruins of ancient dwarven
or elven civilizations and their clothes and creations are
an integration of long-forgotten styles. Deep dwarves
are naturally the most isolated of the sublineages and
tend to be wary of outside influences. Their dangerous
environments leave them little room for arts or frivolity
and their societies focus more on survival than long-term
legacy.
They have a particular affinity for the ancient
technologies and structures found below the earth and
have absorbed much of their discoveries into their own
societies. In fact, many deep dwarf nations have large
populations of remnants, as well as smaller but notable
populations of raedeen.

Base Speed: 20 ft
Appearance: Dwarves tend to have stocky proportions
and often have skin and hair tones that reflect their
environments, due to generations of evolution. Mountain
dwarves often have skin in shades of white and gray. Their
hair ranges in shade from blonde and brunette to granite-
gray or black. Crag dwarves have an earthier coloration,
with skin tones like clay or sandstone and hair ranging from
red to dark brunette. Deep dwarves look almost alien, with
pale skin that borders on translucent and large, dark eyes
adapted to navigate the utter blackness of cavern living.
Lifespan: Dwarves reach maturity around 16 years of age
and can live as long as 300 years.
International Outlook: While dwarves tend to be insular
in their communities, they frequently engage in trade
and cooperation with friendly civilizations. They often
form powerful alliances with elves, humans, and kleppin
societies.

upward and downward between hundreds of stone bridges
that crisscross every possible level and gap. Crag dwarves
dig their settlements by quarrying the dirt and stone in
long layers parallel to streams and rivers, often uncovering
long-buried ruins from ages past. They then rebuild such
ruins, reinforcing previous fortifications and repurposing
structures as they see fit. The crag dwarves are the most
surface-adapted dwarves and often extend their territory
into nearby forests and plains where farmlands or hunted
game can supplement their stone and clay crafts.
Stone Minded. Your WILL increases by +1. When a
creature or effect attempts to impose Charmed on you, it
must roll 2d20 and use whichever is lower.

D E E P D WA R F
The deep dwarves are the rarest of dwarves and the least
likely to be seen on the surface world. As denizens of the
deepest caves, deep dwarves stand apart from their cousins
by their pale skin, large eyes, and beardless faces. Their
cities often contain tightly packed and protected districts
hidden behind layers of trapped corridors and hidden
passageways. Few outsiders ever have the opportunity to
travel their tunnels.
Dangersense. Your ANT increases by +1. When making
an AWR check made to detect an ambush or trap, roll 2d20
and use whichever is higher.

CHAPTER 1 | LINEAGES 19

E L E M E N TA L
Elementals are humanoids that are deeply connected to
the Everwilds, especially the domain of Chaos. While many
sublineages of elemental exist, the four most common are
air, earth, fire, and water. Elementals are actually indigenous
to the Everwilds. As the Tear opened in the skies above, and
Ancerra came into contact with the other planes of existence
for the first time in living memory, some elementals were
curious about the newly rediscovered solar system and
ventured forth to explore it.
Elementals can reliably trace their lineage back to the
Ashyidir Archfae.
There are ten Ashyidir Archfae, but the four who
represent the fundamental elements are listed here. All
of the ten Ashyidir can appear masculine, feminine, or
androgynous, but their preferred state is listed.
20 CHAPTER 1 | LINEAGES
Aeshir. Feminine-presenting; Exemplar of Fire. Hot-headed,
eager to get things accomplished, and believes strongly that
destruction makes way for new life and new creativity.
Aevis. Androgynous-presenting; Exemplar of Air. Easily
persuaded by arguments from Aeshir and Sheryn;
accommodating to other viewpoints and tries to make
everyone happy.
Gaard. Masculine-presenting; Exemplar of Earth. Slow
to action, tries to keep everyone (especially Aeshir) from
making rash decisions.
Sheryn. Feminine-presenting; Exemplar of Water. Strong-
willed and unwilling to quickly or recklessly change her
views on something, but Sheryn is also extremely emotional
and prone to bouts of manic rage. Even so, she is also
deeply passionate and caring about the other Ashyidir.
Elementals have varying opinions on the Ashyidir.
Some view them as patriarchal figures, much like many
humanoids view their grandparents. Others venerate them
as gods, and still others don’t have a strong opinion one way
or the other provided that the Ashyidir leave the elementals
alone to live their own lives.
E L E M E N TA L T R A I T S
Height: 5’0” - 6’4”
Weight: 100-400lbs (Typically, earth is the heaviest and air
is the lightest)
Size: Medium
Base Speed: 20 ft
Appearance: Elementals generally look like humans with
inhuman-colored skin. Their digits, skin patterning, hair,
and facial features reflect the element of their sublineage.
Lifespan: Elementals tend to reach maturity around age 30
and live for 200 to 300 years.

CHAPTER 1 | LINEAGES 21
 ELF
The origin of elves is shrouded in story and myth, but it
is widely believed they arrived on Ancerra long before
the first humanoid civilizations were established. Star
elves, with their deep blue-black skin and shimmering
white hair, claim their ancestry from the eternal void of
space. The coppery-skinned forest elves believe that their
ancient lineages come directly from the conclaves of the
Archfae in the Everwilds. The mountain elves still believe
their ancestors leave prophecies and guidance in the
night sky and stare endlessly from their isolated mountain
observatories. Yet some elves, like the crystal-eyed plains
elves, speak little of their progenitors and instead embrace
the present, busy as they are with the endless skirmishes
and battles across the steppes. Regardless of which mythos
is believed, the elves of Ancerra all feel a deep affinity
with starlight and believe that they are in some way
linked to the cosmos beyond. Elves share a bond like no
other lineage as each night their dreams touch the shared
consciousness known as the Celestial Sea, where memory
and experience from millions of lives churn and flow.
As varied as the elves are in body and personality, they
are generally respected for their wisdom and adventurous
spirits. Though they live long lives by the standards of the
other dominant lineages, they still greet their days with
open-eyed wonder and ever search for new and exciting
experiences. Their keen senses make them excellent
trackers, scouts, and dungeoneers while their ability to
touch the collective consciousness of the Celestial Sea
pushes many to excel in more studious arts where the
knowledge of the past can be directly built upon.

E L F C U LT U R E
With long lives and longer memories, elf culture rarely
shifts across the decades. Cities built centuries past often
contain twisting roads and arched canopy roofs. Current
styles of clothing and jewelry often match those on ancient
tapestries. The breadth of elven contribution to the arts,
literature, and sciences is beyond measure, though these
often come at a far slower pace compared to what other
lineages produce.

ELF TRAITS
Height: 4’8” - 6’0”
Weight: 80-160 lbs
Size: Medium
Base Speed: 20 ft
Appearance: Otherworldly and graceful, elves have
tapered ears, features that range from delicate to gaunt,
and a wide range of skin and hair colors based on their
sublineage.
Lifespan: Elves reach true maturity around age 40 with a
lifespan of roughly 500 years.
Inter-Species Relations: Elves generally show the utmost
patience with shorter lived races and hold many humans,
kleppins and urkou in the highest regard for their tenacity,
energy, and ability to accomplish so much in such a short
time. Still, they may show frustration in their dealings
should they forget that not everyone can recall the
experiences of ancestors centuries dead, leading to many
mistakes often repeated.
E L F S TA R T I N G
F E AT U R E S
At level 1, you gain the following features as an elf.
Celestial Slumber. While you sleep, you can choose to
dream lucidly, contemplating philosophical questions or the
events of the previous day. During this time, you can make
up to three INT checks of your choice using skills that have
the Knowledge tag. If you have failed a skill check with the
Knowledge tag on a topic in the last 24 hours, then you may
roll 2d20 and use the higher of the two when making a new
check on that topic.
Sublineage. As the elves have spread across Ancerra,
they have evolved to meet the unique challenges of their
environment. Choose one sublineage below and gain a
bonus 1st level features based on your selection.
FO R E S T E L F
This ancient line of elves found fulfillment in embracing
and tending to the parts of the world most teeming with
life: forests and jungles. After all, plants only grow when
the sun nourishes them. Although the light from a single
star is not the same as a whole galaxy, forest elves believe
that stewardship of nature is in a way caring for the life
cultivated by starlight. Elves from the forest or jungle gain
the following two features at 1st level.
Danger-Ready. Your ANT increases by +1. You have a +2
bonus to Initiative rolls.
Forest Steward. Gain +6 Skill Points that you can spend
on the following skills. You cannot put more than +4 points
into a single skill using this feature.

• Crafting*. Carpentry, Leatherworking, Masonry,
Smithing, Weaving, Woodcarving
• Knowledge. Medicine*, Nature
• Observation. Intuiting, Investigating, Perceiving
• Survival. Animal Handling, Foraging, Navigating*,
Sheltering, Tracking
M O U N TA I N E L F
In an effort to reach the stars again, the mountain elves
climbed the tallest mountain ranges they could find and
made their homes among their crests; others made their
way to the far north, curious about the dancing lights in
the sky. These elves are skilled at surviving in brutally cold
environments. Elves from the mountains or snow gain the
following two features at 1st level.
Nimblefoot. Your REF increases by +1. When making
END checks to mitigate the effects of extreme cold, roll 2d20
and use whichever one is higher.
Celestial Lorist. Gain +6 Skill Points that you can spend

PLAINS ELF
Many elves were drawn to wide open plains and deserts
where the sky stretched from horizon to horizon. Here,
nomadic elven tribes hunted and gathered and built
powerful connections with the herds of wild horses, camels,
and the like that frequented these places. They also came
into regular, and often bloody, contact with brutish raiders
and brigands, perfecting the arts of open combat across
generations. Elves hailing from the desert or plains gain the
following two features at 1st level.
Sun-Baked. Your FORT increases by +1. When making
END checks to mitigate the effects of extreme heat, roll
2d20 and use whichever one is higher.
Keen Eye. You have exceptional eyesight and can make
out fine details up to eight miles away (provided that there
are no obscuring phenomena). You have +4 Perceiving.
S TA R E L F
The elven lines that deviated the least from their ancient
origins are known as the “Sil”. They make their homes in
both urban and rural areas, though on the whole they are
not very common. Star elves are more skilled than other
elven sublineages at celestial slumbering and can more
easily sift through the sea of memories. Elves of the star
sublineage gain the following two features at 1st level.
Ancient Will. Your WILL increases by +1. Gain +5 to any
knowledge check made with your Celestial Slumber feature.
Star Gazer. Gain +6 Skill Points that you can spend on
the following skills. You cannot put more than +4 points
into a single skill using this feature.

Source of magic. If you do not already know divine magic,
then CHA is your magic attribute for these prayers.
Cloak of Nature. While you are Concealed, gain a +2
bonus to your REF and ANT.
Dream Step. Prerequisites: Celestial Slumber. While using
your Celestial Slumber feature, you may attempt to enter
the dream of another sleeping creature once when you Take
a Rest. In order to do so, the target creature must also be
asleep and familiar to you. To make contact, make a CHA
check. You may add Empathy if you have that skill. If you
roll above their WILL, then you successfully enter their
dreams. If you have not met the creature (spent one minute
or more within 5 ft of them engaging in conversation or the
like), they gain +5 to their WILL in defense of this feature.
Once you have established contact with the target, you
and the target may have a brief conversation. If the target is
not an elf, they must make a LUCK check upon awakening.
If the target rolls below a 7, then they do not remember
the conversation. If they roll below a 14, they retain vague
impressions and emotional timbre of the conversation but
do not recall specifics. If they roll a 14 or higher, then they
recall the conversation in its entirety.
Dream Step: Astral Projection. Prerequisites: Dream
Step; Character Level 20. Once during a Rest, while using
your Dream Step feature, you can cast the Astral Projection
psionic spell. This costs no SP for you, but ends immediately
upon waking.
24 CHAPTER 1 | LINEAGES
Dream Step: Busy Night. Prerequisite: Dream Step. You
may use your Dream Step feature twice each time that you
sleep for at least 6 hours during a Rest.

When you use your Dream Step feature to speak with a
creature that is not an elf, you may attempt to impress

their WILL, then you successfully obscure your presence
from their mind while having the dream conversation. If you
have not met the creature (spent at least one minute within
5 ft of them), they gain +5 to their WILL in defense of this
feature.

0 AP, you may grant yourself a +2 bonus to ranged attack
rolls with two-handed weapons until the end of your current

 F I EN DBL O OD
The Fiends of Inferno are a brutal and cunning lot whose
thoughts and behaviors are far beyond the comprehension
of mortal beings. Those that act beyond instinct feel
nothing of love, appreciation, or admiration and their
dealings are always of a transactional nature. Those
foolish enough to bargain usually find, to their horror, that
they do not receive quite what they expect. Humans are
particularly susceptible to Fiendish influences.
Fiendbloods result in the mingling of Fiend and
humanoid blood, which produces a twisted hybrid
offspring. Though the child itself may appear perfectly
normal and healthy for the first few years of life, their
nature quickly becomes apparent as they grow and signs of
their parentage begin to show. Horns begin to poke from
their heads, their skin takes on strange green, red, or gray
tones, their eyes darken to black orbs, and strange tragedy
follows wherever they go. Those that do manage to avoid
suspicion learn the truth when they reach maturity and the
first blood transformation takes place.

FIENDBLOOD TRAITS
Height: 4’8” - 6’5”
Weight: 80-250 lbs
Size: Medium
Base Speed: 20 ft
Appearance: Fiendbloods generally resemble a typical
member of the species they were born into until they
reach their sixteenth birthday when they undergo their
first transformation and all manner of changes occur. They
might sprout twisted goat horns or spines, wicked claws
and fangs, spiked tails or even bat-like wings. Their skin
becomes a mottled red, gray, or green and their eyes fade
to solid black or dull red.
Lifespan: Fiendbloods reach maturity around age 16 and
naturally live about 70-90 years.

FIENDBLOOD
S TA R T I N G F E A T U R E S
At level 1, you gain the following features as a fiendblood.
Blood Transformation (1/Rest). Fiendbloods share an
intimate connection with the chaotic plane of Inferno and
can temporarily embrace their fiendish nature without
risk of losing their mortal selves. For one minute after
activating this feature, your Fiendish traits become even
more pronounced and you lose nearly all your humanoid
characteristics. You also gain an ability determined by your
sublineage below.
Sublineage. Fiendbloods share characteristics with
their Fiendish parentage, whether that be the hotheaded
Sanguineth, the cold and calculating Melaneth, the
bloodthirsty Cholereth, or the virulent Phlegmereth.

CHAPTER 1 | LINEAGES 25
 When creating a Fiendblood, choose one sublineage
below and get a bonus 1st level feature based on your
selection.
Unique Ability. To further define your Fiendblood, choose
one option from the fiendblood Abilities list below at level 1
(the list begins after the sublineage options).
SANGUINETH-BLOODED
Those of the Sanguineth blood must forever fight against
the baser urges of excess and indulgence that so define
their heritage. The Sanguineth typically appear the most
humanoid of their lineage, as the Fiendish influence usually
comes through in subtle ways. Slit, blood red eyes are often
the first signs followed by extra long, double jointed fingers.
Those that embrace their blood might have limbs that look
quite long and sinewy and teeth that appear a little too
pointed.
Sanguine Revelry. While your Blood Transformation
feature is activated, you may spend 4 AP to attempt to drive
a living humanoid into a frenzy. Choose one target and
attack their WILL with your CHA. If successful, the target
is suddenly overcome by a fit of ecstatic madness. On their
next turn, they must attack the closest creature, whether
that creature is a friend or foe.
MELANETH-BLOODED
The Melaneth reside in The Black City of Durlossoth, where
twisting streets of endless dilapidation drive unfortunate
travelers mad with hopelessness. Melaneth fiendbloods
usually have wispy hair of black or white and shriveled
features. A dour nature comes with the blood, and many
Melaneth fiendbloods find an unconscious stirring in their
souls when the opportunity for a deal or an imparting of
dark wisdom arises.
Creeping Dread. While your Blood Transformation
feature is activated, you may spend 4 AP to attempt to sow a
primal fear in those near you. You must make a CHA attack
against the WILL of all creatures within 15 ft. If successful,
those creatures are struck with the Broken condition until
the end of their next turn.
CHOLERETH-BLOODED
The Cholereth are fiends of a singular desire to dominate
or slaughter any who stand in their way, and threads of
this notion often weave their way into the lives of their
fiendbloods. These individuals are physically imposing and
they typically force their way into positions of leadership.
Horns and spines are common along with curled claws and
thin, lashing tails.
War Bringer. While your Blood Transformation feature
is activated, you may spend 4 AP to inspire up to two allies
within 30 feet to bring death and carnage. Those allies do
an additional +2 damage whenever they hit an enemy for a
number of rounds equal to your CHA+1 (min 1).
26 CHAPTER 1 | LINEAGES
PHLEGMERETH-BLOODED
It is said that the Phlegmereth are the source of all known
illness and disease, and those that share their blood might
enforce the idea with sickly pale skin, skull-like features,
and any number of swollen knots or nodules. It is surprising,
then, that most Phlegmereth fiendbloods show an unusual
strength of both body and will that bely this appearance.
The fervent, often zealous nature of their heritage is difficult
for such a fiendblood to escape, and they must always be
tempered against losing themselves in a cause or belief.
Pestilent Blessing. While your Blood Transformation
feature is activated, you may spend 4 AP to attempt to infect
a living creature with a gift of the Phlegmereth. Choose one
target and attack their FORT with your END. If successful,
the target becomes covered in painful pustules and becomes
Sickened until the end of their next turn. You may make
this check again at the end of the target’s turn without
expending AP. If successful, the condition repeats for another
turn, but ends after the second turn.
FIENDBLOOD
F E AT U R E S
In addition to the unique ability you selected at level 1, you
gain one more ability at 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, and
29th levels, choose one option from the list below.
Ancestral Communion. While sleeping, you may attempt
to commune with the fiends related to your sublineage.
Roll 1d20, on an 11 or higher you successfully contact a
fiend determined by the MC. You may ask this fiend three
questions, after which the communion ends. The fiend is
under no obligation to answer honestly, or even to answer at
all. You may use this feature once each time you Take a Rest.
Blood Transformation II. Prerequisites: Blood
Transformation; Character Level 5. Gain a second use of your
Blood Transformation feature, regaining all expended uses
when you Take a Rest.
Blood Transformation III. Prerequisites: Blood
Transformation 2; Character Level 15. Gain a third use of
your Blood Transformation feature, regaining all expended
uses when you Take a Rest.
Claws. Your fingernails grow long, sharp, and rigid,
taking on a dark, bloody hue. Gain a special attack that
costs 2 AP and deals 1d4 Sharp damage on a hit. This is
considered a natural weapon, and you use your choice of
STR or DEX for the attack and damage rolls.
Draining Touch (END/Rest). You have the ability to
draw the very life force out of a living creature. You may
make a special attack against one target by spending 4 AP. If
successful, you deal 1d6 Necrotic damage to the target and
regain HP equal to the amount of damage you dealt.
Draining Touch II. Prerequisite: Draining Touch; Character

with other intelligent creatures. If such a creature makes
a willing bargain and exchanges either oath or blood, they
become bound to the terms indefinitely (or for a set amount
of time specified in the pact) and suffer severe consequences
should they be broken. If a creature breaks the terms of its
agreement, you may immediately attack their WILL with
your CHA, provided that you are currently on the same
plane of existence. On a hit, the creature becomes Sickened
for the next 24 hours and the pact ends. You can make a
number of binding pacts equal to your CHA (min 1). You
may end a pact in order to make a new one; if you do, the
creature that was released from your pact immediately
knows that the pact has ended.
Violent Vindication. Prerequisites: Pact Maker. If a
creature violates its pact, then on a hit, you also deal 2d10
psychic damage to the creature. If you miss, the creature

G OLEM
Formed of clay and stone, formed of sticks and bones,
golems are constructed humanoids that have only recently
come into existence thanks to the advent of magic. By
sculpting a humanoid form and then binding it to a magical
source, a golem is born. While animated objects are not
very uncommon, true golems - which can act and reason
independently of their creators - are exceptionally rare.
Golems are born when powerful magic-users awaken
Essence in an inanimate object, or an amalgamation of such
objects assembled into roughly humanoid form. The exact
process by which individual casters do this depends upon
the source of their magic. This, in turn, typically affects the
golem’s specific capabilities and personality.
28 CHAPTER 1 | LINEAGES
A G O L E M ’ S C R E AT O R
With rare exception, a caster is only ever able to create one
golem in their lifetime due to the intense amount of magical
energy that goes into creating life from inanimate matter.
This often means that a golem and its maker share an
intense bond, either as great friends or terrible adversaries
(as in the case of poor Viktor Shelley, who created the first
golem).
When making a golem character, consider who created
you. Typically, a caster will want to keep a golem around
for protection or companionship. If this is the case, how
do you feel about your creator? Are you friends, or is your
relationship more like that of a parent and child or an
employer and hired hand? Do you want to remain with your
creator or set out to live your own life?
Alternatively, sometimes the creation of a golem is a
process that a caster is not yet prepared for, and the process
kills the caster, propels them into another plane of existence,
or some other dramatic fate.
Perhaps your creator is another member of your party.
Remember that the process of creating a golem usually
requires a tremendous capacity for magic, but also exacts a
high toll, so it is easy to justify your creator being only the
same level as you from a mechanical standpoint. Perhaps
your creator has lost much of their magical ability and
hopes to reclaim it over the coming years, even if they will
never again be able to create another golem.
GOLEM TRAITS
Height: 5’2” - 8’0”
Weight: 100-600lbs (depending largely upon the physical
materials that comprise them)
Size: Medium
Base Speed: 20 ft
Appearance: Typically made of plant matter, clay, or bones,
with some stone to offer additional support/protection as
needed. Golems usually look humanoid otherwise, though
some might have additional arms or legs.
Lifespan: Golems are born with the sentience of a human
child and learn rapidly. After they have been sentient for a
year, they are capable of reasoning akin to a human adult of
the same INT score. Thus far, no golems are known to have
died naturally.
G O L E M S TA R T I N G
F E AT U R E S
When you create a golem character, you gain the following
feature.
Magically Constructed Nature. You do not need to eat,
but must drink, breathe, and sleep like any other creature.
You might speak with your MC about what specifically you
need to drink: perhaps you survive on olive oil, petroleum,
low-viscosity lava, or some other unusual fluid.
 Additionally, you make two choices that reflect the
materials that you are made of and how you were created.
Choose your primary material and life source.
P R I M A R Y M AT E R I A L
Choose whether you are primarily constructed out of plant
matter, clay, or bone. This choice grants you the following
benefit:
Bone: Vestigial Life. Your body recalls that it once lived
as some kind of mortal. When you receive magical healing
from another creature, you regain 2 additional HP.
Clay: Oozing Movement (1/Rest). You may cause your
body to melt into an oozing substance the consistency of
putty. This allows you to squeeze through areas as small as 1
ft wide. When you use this feature, it costs 2 AP to activate
and lasts for a number of rounds equal to your END+1 (min
1 round). While using this feature, you cannot make attacks
or interact with objects. Your health and defenses are
unaffected. You may end this form early if you wish, costing
no AP.
If this ability ends while you are still transformed, you
immediately reform in the nearest unoccupied space and
take 1d10 Blunt damage.
Plant Matter: Minor Photosynthesis. When you Recoup
in nonmagical sunlight, you may gain Shield HP equal to
your END.

means. Learn one ritual of your choice from the Occult
Source that has no prerequisites. END is your magic
attribute for this ritual.

Halflings are a diminutive people as diverse and widespread
as humans, though only half as tall. What they lack in
stature, they make up for in bravery and nimbleness, and
many halfling heroes have made their name as adventurers.
They tend to enjoy the simple pleasures of life and prefer
quiet, unobtrusive living but when duty calls, they will often
endure and persevere long after the stronger, larger species
have faltered.
Halflings share the same skin tones and hair colors as
humans, though their eyes tend to be a tint brighter. They
can be found in every climate, city, and biome and are well
integrated into nearly every society.

H A L F L I N G C U LT U R E
Though halflings don’t share a singular culture so much
as other more insular lineages, they are well known and
well respected for their singing, music, and art. Their
calm, carefree nature, which most often dominates later in
life, often leads elder halflings to creative pursuits as they
typically retain a bit more energy and wherewithal than
their human cousins.

HALFLING TRAITS
Height: 2’10 - 4’2”
Weight: 50 - 80 lbs
Size: Small
Base Speed: 20 ft
Appearance: Halflings share the basic features of humans,
though they tend to have brighter characteristics. Although
they only stand about as tall as a human child, they have the
same bodily proportions as an adult human.
Lifespan: Halflings reach maturity around age 16 and
naturally live about 70-90 years.

 HON DU
(HAHN-doo)
The hondu are canine humanoids who originally came
from the dark boreal forests of the northern lands, but have
since spread to all known corners of the continent. The
hondu possess unmatched endurance and speed for any
race their size. They are able to track and pursue prey for
days on end, and equally capable of hauling their kills back
to their family groups.
While generally known for their loyalty and bravery,
hondu are as diverse in personality as they are in
appearance. Even members of the same family might have
drastically different colorations in fur or length of snout.

H O N D U C U LT U R E
Hondu culture tends to exemplify the sanctity of life and
strive to uphold the order of the natural world. In this
sense, nature is deified as much as any god and over-
hunting, wastes of food, and relishing in excess are heavily
discouraged. Where hondu cities are built, outsiders might
find a surprising marriage of nature and civilization in
food, architecture, and art.

HONDU TRAITS
Height: 4’6” - 6’4”
Weight: 80-230 lbs
Size: Small or Medium (your choice)
Base Speed: 20 ft
Appearance: Hondu are bipedal. They have a fluffy tail
and a canine head. They are visually varied, having many
different combinations of coloration in fur and eyes.
Hondu snouts, tails, ears, and fur all vary in length and

H UM A N
A tenacious and unwavering lineage, humans are as
different from one another as trees in the forest: no two
share precisely the same twists, patterns, or preferences.
On the whole, humans are deeply concerned with life and
its enjoyment or with legacy and securing their place in the
annals of history.
Humans make their mark on the world with their sheer
adaptability. They are able to tame any environment
they set foot into, from barren tundra to seething jungle
and everything in between. They form great civilizations
that rise and fall like the tide yet on the whole are never
diminished in their endless pursuit of knowledge and
mastery of the natural world.
H U M A N C U LT U R E
Much like the individual, human culture is as varied and
diverse as the environments in which they are found. Some
humans build mighty fortresses of stone and timber that
will stand for hundreds of generations while others live as
nomads in great camps as fleeting as the deer they follow.
Wherever they go they leave a mark on art, song, and

K ET T EK
(KET-tek)
Kettek are feline humanoids ubiquitous across Ancerra.
Endlessly curious, occasionally distracted, kettek are well
known for their adventurous and fickle nature. Kettek rarely
stay in one place for more than a few years as boredom
frequently drives their urge for new sights, sounds, and
places. Thus, they find many positions on ships and caravans
around the world and their natural grace and athleticism
makes them excellent scouts, performers, and sailors.
Hailing from lush forests and snowy taigas alike, the
kettek have adapted well to many environments and often
have distinct features from their homeland. Northern kettek
tend to be bulkier with spotted furs of white, grey, and black
while southern kettek are lean with striped or splotched
coats of orange, brown, and black.
K E T T E K C U LT U R E
Kettek are wanderers by nature, so their culture tends to
forgo monuments and grand cities for oral histories, stories,
songs, and poetry. More than any other lineage, kettek
absorb the cultures from the places they reside and carry
those traditions and habits with them when they move on.
Thus, kettek fashion and art tends to be direct copies of
multiple styles and functions.
KETTEK TRAITS
Height: 4’6” - 5’10”
Weight: 90 - 160 lbs

 K LEPPI N
(KLEP-pen)
Kleppin are an incredibly diverse lineage of small fur-
covered humanoids with features resembling a multitude
of woodland animals. Some sport thick bushy tails and
cherubic cheeks, like the common squirrel, while others
have tall pointed ears and long feet, like a meadow hare.
Still others hold resemblance to badgers, beavers, or
raccoons. Regardless of what critter they might resemble,
they are all kleppin and hold the same fiery spirit known as
others of their kind.
Though small in stature, the kleppin are far from skittish
or timid as their appearance might lead some to believe.
Kleppin settlements often host small but masterfully
trained squads of warriors who are experts in ambush
tactics that hobble enemy forces well before they reach
the palisade gates. Kleppin know their territory inside and
out, above and below, and rarely does anyone approach
without their notice. Those kleppin who do heed the call of
adventure, or have it thrust upon them, often find work as
trackers, guides, druids and rangers where their connection
to the natural world can be put to full effect.

K L E P P I N C U LT U R E
Much like the Hondu, kleppin societies often embrace the
natural world and build their cities as compliments to the
environment rather than forcing dominance. Mighty trees
host huge cities of residences while vast tunnel systems
below the roots teem with industry. Natural defenses are
supplemented with growths, deadfalls, and palisades.
Kleppin art and literature exemplifies their cultural heroes
and spins even the most mundane tale into epic fables with
notable lessons.

KLEPPIN TRAITS
Height: 2’6” to 3’8”
Weight: 30 to 50 lbs
Size: Small
Base Speed: 20 ft
Appearance: Kleppin are essentially sentient small
woodland critters, ranging from mice and squirrels to

Bravery II. Prerequisite: Bravery. You cannot be
Frightened by creatures. (Effects that do not originate from
creatures can still Frighten you.)
Bravery III. Prerequisite: Bravery II. You cannot be
Frightened by any source.
Buffer Fall. When falling, you can slow your descent and
angle your fall. You only take 1d4 falling damage for every
30 ft that you fall. Furthermore, for every 10 ft that you fall,
you may choose to move 5 ft horizontally.
Burrower (1/Rest). Gain a burrow speed equal to ½
your walking speed. You can burrow through soil, dirt, sand,
mud, or similar substances, but cannot burrow through
rock, stone, metal, and the like. When you burrow, you
leave a large and noticeable tunnel in your wake. Any Small
creature can squeeze through the tunnel, expending 2 ft of
movement for every 1 ft that they move. Any Tiny or smaller
creature can move through the tunnel at normal speed. You
cannot burrow more than 10 ft below the surface.
Furthermore, burrowing takes a significant amount of
energy. Once you begin burrowing, you can only burrow for
a number of minutes equal to your END+1 (min 1). This
time limit applies even if you do not spend all of the allotted
time burrowing.
Burrower II. Prerequisite: Burrower. Regain the ability to
burrow when you Recoup.

 R A EDEEN
(ray-DEEN)
The ancient avadri have vestigial traces of power
throughout the known universe. The world of Ancerra
is rich with these slivers of power. Sometimes, under
rare circumstances, this legacy manifests as a living
humanoid entity, something between a magical artifact
and a breathing biological person. These are the raedeen -
sapient traces of powers long forgotten.
Raedeen are often quiet and contemplative, in constant
communion with slivers of avadri tech all around them.
All raedeen, regardless of relationship with avadri tech,
are driven by the need to protect. Whether that be their
friends, a location, or a warped ideal, they remain steadfast
due to remnants of a long-forgotten directive. Rarely will
a raedeen place their own safety above that of others, and
even more their friends.
A marriage between psionic technology and biological
flesh, raedeen forms carry immense latent magical
powers. They are born to any flesh-and-blood race, but
are implanted with the vestiges of avadri technology.
Some cultures, such as the Elves of the Plains, take these
features as blessings, as they attune the raedeen to the
dormant avadri technology across the planet. Others,
however, view them in a more critical light, ostracizing
raedeen due to the magical incidents that often happen
around their uncontrolled powers. Their sensitivity to
magic and excellent perception abilities lend them easily
towards tracking or looting roles, but this also makes them
incredibly susceptible to strong psionic attacks and psychic
manipulation.

RAEDEEN TRAITS
Height: 6’ - 7’6”
Weight: 120 - 200 lbs.
Size: Medium
Base Speed: 20 ft
Appearance: Raedeen skin varies in a rainbow of colors,
but is always marked with geometric areas of metallic
iridescence and faint panel-line markings. This might look
as subtle as a normal human visage with slight lines on the
face and arms. Conversely, the physical tell might be wildly
obvious, such as a kettek-like humanoid with horns, blue
fur, and metallic plating.
Lifespan: Raedeen have slightly above the average lifespan
of a human (roughly 80-110 years), regardless of their
parent race. This often leads to tragedy if they are born to
a longer-lived race such as elves, as they will age and die
far sooner and faster than their parents.
R A E D E E N S TA R T I N G
F E AT U R E S
At level 1, you gain the following features as a raedeen.
Psionic Attunement. Choose one manifestation of
any Aptitude from the Psionic Source. You know that
manifestation and it costs 0 SP for you. CHA is your magic
attribute when using this feature.
Sublineage. As raedeen mature, their forms adapt to best
serve the raedeen’s personal quest of protection. Choose one
sublineage below and gain bonus 1st level features based on
your selection.
CORRUPTED
Corrupted raedeen strive to protect ideologies, individuals,
or organizations that are twisted reflections of what avadri
once cherished. Creativity, power, and the ability to exert
one’s will over the chaos around them always appealed to
avadri, so a corrupted raedeen might be drawn to an iron-
fisted dictator or a shortsighted pioneer trying to deforest
a tract of land. corrupted raedeen have formed an outlook
that, while reminiscent of their avadri ancestry, is actually
near the opposite of what their ancestors might have
wanted.
Razor Plating. Your raedeen plating is razor sharp. Your
dominant hand grows a retractable blade that can be used
as a weapon with the stats of a Scimitar or a Shortsword
(your choice).
Blood Is Fuel. You may spend 1 AP to consume any
source of fresh blood other than your own, provided
that such a source is within 5 ft of you. (No attack roll is
required, but you are limited to targeting corpses, Bloodied
creatures, or creatures with the Bleeding condition). Doing
so grants you TA on all attacks until the end of your next
turn as you are fueled by blood. You can use this feature a
number of times equal to your CHA, regaining all expended
uses when you Recoup.
DREAMER
Long before the first sapient life developed on Ancerra,
hyper-advanced avadri fell into eons-long dream cycles
where they imagined new realities and contemplated the
great philosophies of the universe. Dreaming raedeen follow
in the footsteps of these avadri. They excel at problem-
solving and manifest psionic abilities that they can use to
protect their allies and harry their foes.
Advanced Analytics. Your mechanical mind processes
data at an advanced pace. Whenever you make a check to
see through magical illusions, gain +4 to the check.
Pierce Soul. Your gaze is enough to shatter even the most
steadfast mental defense. Whenever you make an attack roll
against a creature targeting one of their Mental Defenses,
you may give yourself +4 to the attack. You may use this
feature twice, regaining all expended uses when you Take a
Rest.
PA R A G O N
Paragon raedeen hold more nuanced views of power,
creativity, and control than their corrupted kin. They
seek to exemplify the delicate balance of all three, as the
paragon avadri did in the days of old. For some, this means
seeking out authoritarian rulers and punishing them for
irresponsible use of power. Other raedeen seek quieter lives,
spending their days perfecting beautiful artisanal crafts,
songs, or dances.
Magical Resonance. Your raedeen plating resonates with
magical energies. Choose one type of elemental damage.
When damage of that type hits you, you may spend 1
reactive AP to gain Affinity with that damage. You retain
this Affinity for 1 minute. You may use this feature once,
regaining all expended uses when you Take a Rest.
Efficient Biotech. Your internal organs operate more
efficiently than normal beings, drawing directly from magic
to sustain you. You no longer require food or drink to
sustain yourself and are immune to food-based diseases. You
still need to breathe.
R A E D E E N F E AT U R E S
At 5th, 10th, 15th, 25th, and 29th levels, gain one option
from this list.
Advanced Analytics. Prerequisites: Dreaming Raedeen;
Character Level 10. Gain +3 to Investigating and +3 to
Intuiting.
Ancestral Divinity. Learn two prayers of your choice from
the Divine Source. These prayers count as psionic magic for
you, instead of divine, and CHA is your magic attribute for
these prayers.
Ascension. Prerequisite: Character Level 15. Learn the
Angel Wings spell from the Divine Source, but it counts
as psionic magic for you. You may cast this spell once,
regaining all expended uses when you Take a Rest.
Blood Is Fuel II. Prerequisites: Blood is Fuel; Corrupted
Raedeen. When using your Blood is Fuel ability, gain an
additional +1 to all attack rolls, and gain +1 to all of your
defenses, until the end of your next turn.
Calm Appraisal. Repeatable. Gain +6 Skill Points to
spend on skills with the Observation tag. You cannot spend
more than +4 points on a single skill in this way.
Devouring Biotech. Prerequisites: Paragon Raedeen;
Character Level 15. Your biotechnical makeup allows you
not only to passively consume ambient magic for nutrients,
but steal it from magical attacks directed at you. When an
enemy within 10 ft of you casts a spell or activates a magical
effect that would damage you and no other targets, you may
spend 2 reactive AP to make a CHA roll against their WILL.
On a success, you negate the damage and instead regain
1d6 HP. The creature still loses its AP, but not any associated
SP or rechargeable resources. You can use this feature once,
regaining all expended uses when you Take a Rest.
CHAPTER 1 | LINEAGES 39
 Eidetic Memory. Prerequisite: Dreaming Raedeen. Gain
the ability to recall information with near-perfect accuracy.
Whenever you make a check to remember knowledge or
images that you have encountered within the past month,
gain +4 to the check. On a success, you remember it in
perfect detail.
Eidetic Memory II. Prerequisites: Eidetic Memory, Level
15. Your memory is honed to a fine point. Your Eidetic
Memory feature applies to knowledge and images that you
have encountered within the past 6 months.
Enveloping Mind (1/Recoup). Prerequisite: Dreaming
Raedeen. Your psionic defenses extend to your allies.
Whenever an ally within 10 ft of you is targeted with an
attack or spell that would inflict the Dazed or Staggered
condition, you may spend 2 reactive AP to add +2 to their
defenses.
Forgotten Knowledge. Repeatable. Gain +6 Skill Points
to spend on skills with the Knowledge tag. You cannot spend
more than +4 points on a single skill in this way.
Magical Resonance II. Prerequisite: Magical Resonance,
Character Level 20. Regain all expended uses of your Magical
Resonance ability when you Recoup.
Paragon Attunement. Prerequisite: Paragon Raedeen.
You are particularly sensitive to certain sources of magic
that your body has optimized itself to in your environment.
When you succeed a skill check to track, locate, or identify
an instance of magic (such as the residue of a fireball, the
enchantment of an object, or the abilities of a magical
creature), you also learn the source(s) of magic that it
draws power from, how long it has been enchanted, and any
instances of the Signature cantrip, if applicable.
40 CHAPTER 1 | LINEAGES
Paragon Attunement II (1/Rest). Prerequisite: Paragon
Attunement. Gain the Paragon Detection ability.
Paragon Detection: You may spend 30 seconds to
meditate and immediately identify the location and
direction of movement of a specific magical caster you are
familiar with, provided that the creature is within 10 miles
of you. You only gain this insight for a moment, so you
cannot supernaturally track that creature using this ability.
Plated Body. Your AR and Physical Defenses increase by
+1 while you are not wearing armor.
Sleek Plating. Prerequisite: Plated Body. Gain the benefits
of your Plated Body even while wearing armor.
Spike Plating. Prerequisite: Corrupted Raedeen. Whenever
a creature Grapples you or makes an unarmed attack against
you, make a CHA attack against that creature’s ANT. This
attack costs no AP and you can use it indefinitely. If you hit,
that creature takes 1d4 Sharp damage. If a creature starts its
turn Grappling you, you may make this attack again.
Storm of Daggers. Prerequisites: Character Level 10;
Corrupted Raedeen. You may spend 4 AP to assault your
enemies with a storm of blades and spines. Make a CHA
attack vs the REF of all hostile creatures within 15 ft of you.
On a success, they take 1d8 Sharp damage and become
Shaken until the end of your next turn.
Tireless Sentinel. You no longer physiologically require
sleep. You must still rest your mind, however, to avoid
the psychological effects of exhaustion. 4 hours of quiet
meditation is sufficient for you to Take a Rest, but you
cannot Take a Rest more than once per 24 hours as usual.
Wings of Splendor (1/Rest). By spending 3 AP, you can
grant yourself a flying speed equal to your walking speed for
the next 10 minutes.
 R EM NA N T
Long before sapient creatures began building their
civilizations, ancient and long-forgotten deities sculpted
Ancerra. Their tools were powerful machinations of magic
and technology, shaping and maintaining Ancerra’s storied
terrain. Eons later, shards of these tools lay forgotten,
abandoned by their original purpose.
Now with the advent of widespread magic, sometimes
these shards, these remnants, find themselves awake
and with memories that blur and blend together. These
wandering souls seek out an esoteric something, whether
that be a master or true freedom. Most cannot describe
it in words of any mortal tongue. Remnants are highly
empathic, and often sensitive to the emotional energies of
the people they surround themselves with.

B U I LT W I T H P U R P O S E
Not every tool must be a weapon. Remnants can be the
remains of anything: an ecological manipulation device,
an arcane observatory, a dimensional gateway, etc. Their
forms, though humanoid, are varied; however, they always
share the sharp geometric patterns and bismuth-like
formations of stone that make up their body. Remnants
have personalities as varied as any other lineage, but they
all possess an existential desire to be useful. Whether
that translates to overthrowing tyrants or creating toys
for children, remnants believe that all living beings are
designed to compliment one another in a grand, cosmic
symbiosis. Remnants find it abhorrent when sapient
creatures act in a selfish manner.

REMNANT TRAITS
Height: 4’0” - 7’0”
Weight: 150 - 500 lbs
Size: Medium
Base Speed: 20 ft
Appearance: Remnants generally have a bright metallic
sheen and while some are monochrome, many sparkle with
iridescent colors. It is possible to see light shining from
within many of their joints.
Lifespan: Remnants can live almost indefinitely, provided
that they can get whatever sustenance their bodies need.

R E M N A N T S TA R T I N G
F E AT U R E S
You gain the following features as a remnant.
Armored Form. You cannot wear Armor, but your
base AR begins at 12. You can integrate armor into your
form by spending at least one hour disassembling it and
customizing it to your form. Armor integrated in this way
grants all its magical bonuses, but none of the AR. You can
only integrate one suit of armor at a time;

CHAPTER 1 | LINEAGES 41
 if you want to integrate a new set of armor, you must
first eject your current form of armor. Ejected armor regains
all of its original properties and provides no benefit to you
unless you integrate it again.
Constructed Form. You do not need to eat or drink, but
must still breathe and sleep.
Unique Ability. To further define your Remnant, choose
one option from the list below at level 1.
R E M N A N T F E AT U R E S
In addition to the unique ability you selected at level 1, you
gain one more ability at 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, and
29th levels, choose one option from the list below.
Darkvision. You can see in darkness to a limit, even
without any light source. You cannot discern color while
using your darkvision. While using darkvision, you can see
up to 30 ft, and then are blind beyond that point.
Divinity Code. Learn two prayers of your choice from the
Divine Source. These prayers count as psionic magic for you,
and CHA is your magic attribute for these prayers.
Enhanced Armor. Repeatable. Your Armor Rating
increases by +2.
Illuminate. By spending 1 AP, you can shed bright light
for up to a 20 ft radius from yourself, and dim light for
double that distance. Alternatively, you can choose to shine
only dim light up to a 20 ft radius. This light remains until
you decide to spend an additional 1 AP to end it.
Manufacturer. You may cast the Minor Conjuration
cantrip from the Arcane Source, but it counts as psionic for
you when cast in this way.
Programmed Appraisal. Repeatable. Gain +6 Skill Points
that you can spend on any skills with the Observation tag.
You cannot put more than +4 into a single skill using this
feature.
42 CHAPTER 1 | LINEAGES
Programmed Athleticism. Repeatable. Gain +6 Skill
Points that you can spend on any skills with the Athleticism
or Stamina tags. You cannot put more than +4 into a single
skill using this feature.
Tireless Sentinel. You no longer physiologically require
sleep. You must still rest your mind, however, to avoid the
psychological effects of fatigue. 4 hours of quiet meditation
is sufficient for you to Take a Rest, but you cannot Rest more
than once per 24 hours as usual.
Tool Manifestation. Repeatable. Choose a tool or kit. You
can produce that tool or kit from within yourself at will, but
when you do, that tool or kit is considered a part of your
body and can only be used by you. Gain +4 to all checks
made with tools and kits that are a part of you.
Warm. Prerequisite: Illuminate. By augmenting the heat
produced by your advanced technological body, you may
emit warmth akin to that of a campfire in a 10 ft radius
around you. You may only do this when you Catch your
Breath, Recoup, or Take a Rest. Creatures within the radius
who are not wet do not need to make END checks against
the effects of extreme cold.
Weapon Manifestation. Choose a weapon with the one-
handed tag. You manifest that weapon out of the material
within your own body. You cannot throw the weapon, even
if it has the thrown tag, and you cannot be disarmed of this
weapon unless your dominant arm is severed.
Weapon Manifestation II. Prerequisite: Weapon
Manifestation. The weapon that you manifest can have
the hand-and-a-half tag. You may use it with one hand, or
temporarily fuse your hands together to gain its hand-and-a-
half benefit.

Satyrs are somewhat rare humanoids originally hailing
from the Everwilds but now long established on Ancerra.
Although they generally resemble olive-skinned humans,
they bear a number of distinctly goat-like features
including hooves, fur-covered legs and waists, tails, ears,
and horns. Fur and hair colors have a range that matches
human hair and goat fur. Some satyrs also have more
unique hair and fur color akin to spring flowers: pastel
pinks, greens, or blues. Satyr eyes tend to have brighter
complexions than those naturally seen in humans.
With a well-earned reputation for lightheartedness,
whimsy, and merriment, satyrs are known for their large
personalities and ability to command the rowdiest of
crowds. They rarely fear being the center of attention and
make for excellent entertainers, performers, and charlatans
with their natural abilities to put people at ease.

S A T Y R C U LT U R E
With a culture that draws much from their roots in the
Everwilds, particularly the side that borders on the realm
of Chaos, satyrs seemingly find every day a holiday in one
form or another. Food and drink are shared freely and it
is rare for a satyr to accumulate wealth as they genuinely
believe any day living is a day worth celebrating. They
rarely concern themselves with a lasting legacy beyond the
memories shared with friends and family and even satyr
funerals can be a joyous occasion.

A relative of the mystical Bhrunai, the hulking trollkin are
well defined by their brown-green skin, long pointed ears,
and protruding lower tusks. They often sprout thick manes
of mossy- green, brown, or black hair and long claw-like
nails on their four-fingered hands. This ancient lineage has
existed on Ancerra for millennia and has a long history in
the mythos of isolated northern settlements. Colloquially
called bridge trolls, there are many tall tales of growling
trollkin demanding tolls or asking complex riddles of those
who wished to cross the bridge under which they resided.
What these tales often neglect to mention is that trollkin
are clean and meticulous in the upkeep of the places
they live and most local settlements welcomed the well
maintained and reinforced bridges they relied on for trade
and travel. Trollkin such as these became valued members
of the community, often accepting food and company in
payment for defense against hostile creatures or brigands
for there are few things a trollkin values over a safe and
quiet home.
Trollkin are well respected as merchants, trackers, and
guides for their undisputed connection with the natural
world and affinity with wild beasts. They pride their
natural independence and self-sufficiency and always look
to their own skills to solve a problem before turning to
another. Still, an adventuring party can always rely on a
trollkin to accomplish the tasks they promise to do and
their ability to turn to stone in an instant is remarkably
handy.

T R O L L K I N C U LT U R E
Trollkin have historically kept to themselves, and rarely
sought the company of their own kind. Trollkin culture
has thus risen from their own oral histories, passed down
from parent to child, and their predilection to philosophical
rambling have made them a favorite conversation partner
for sages and scholars.

TROLLKIN TRAITS
Height: 5’8” to 7’4”
Weight: 250 to 450 lbs
Size: Medium
Base Speed: 20 ft
Appearance: Trollkin visually bear resemblance to
Bhrunai, though they are much taller and heavier than
their smaller cousins. Their skin and hair coloration are
reminiscent of mossy boulders or huge trees.

 U N DEA D
There are many ways to pass through the veil of death, but
few to pass back. For time immemorial, intelligent mortals
have sought ways to break the bonds of life for themselves
or others. Whether by dark ritual, unrestricted science, or
sheer power of will, these beings continue to exist on the
fringes of the living world.
The undead forever move with purpose and are often
driven by that which could not be completed in life.
Whether it be revenge, love, or works left unfinished, this
goal shapes every action they make until it is completed
and a new goal is discovered. Undead make unwavering
companions and are often sought out for their knowledge
of lore, history, or crafting. Though ghosts and spirits are
classified as ‘undead’, the willpower needed to maintain a
purely nonphysical form often requires that they remain
bound to haunted structures or areas of land and so
undead adventurers carry on with what remains of their
original bodies.

UNDEAD IN SOCIETY
While the undead are rare in the wider world, societal
views on undead vary widely from culture to culture and
spread the gambit of outright hostility to ritualistic honor.
Some societies treat undead like they do their family
elders, and others actively hunt them down out of fear or
prejudice. In general though, the undead are respected for
their direct knowledge of the past and their unwavering
nature.

UNDEAD TRAITS
Appearance, Height, Weight, Size, and Speed: The
undead maintain the vague semblance of the body they
had in life, though the nature of their animation may leave
them in various states of decay. Refer to the Memories of
Life feature for your average height and weight, as well as
your Size.
Lifespan: Undead tend to live as long as their physical
form can sustain them, some for centuries or longer.

 U R KOU
The urkou are a proud and noble people that originally hail
from the far northern realms where their thick hides and
massive claws allowed them to survive in the inhospitable
climate. Early explorers would frequently bring back tales
of lightly dressed ursine warriors with massive glaives of
pure ice marching across the tundra plains, unphased by
the bitter cold and ferocious in battle.
Over the millennia, the urkou developed a vast tribe-
based nation that spans the enormity of the arctic ocean
and the northlands of Gathandia. This society came to be
known as the nation of Tievos. Tievos is predominantly
a nation of urkou, though over the many years other
lineages have come to call this land home. Tievos venerates
a matriarchal governing system: dynastic primogeniture
is practiced with the eldest daughter of the High Queen
ascending to the throne after her mother’s passing.
While urkou are fiercely independent, they are equally
patriotic. Most urkou will go to great lengths to help other
Tievosi, from lending supplies to taking up arms on behalf
of their brethren.

URKOU TRAITS
Height: 6’6” - 7’2”
Weight: 260 - 400lbs
Size: Medium
Base Speed: 20 ft
Appearance: Urkou are hulking bipedal bearfolk. Their
shaggy, furry coats are usually brown or black, but
occasionally an urkou might have a white or golden coat
of fur.
Lifespan: Urkou reach maturity around 14 years old. Male
urkou live on average 50 - 60 years, while female urkou
usually live 120-160 years.

PER S ONA LI T Y
Now that you’ve picked your lineage, as you consider your
BOP (Background, Occupation, and Profession), it is a good
idea to think about your character’s personality as well.
Here are a few optional tools that you can use if you need
some guidance brainstorming your character’s personality
traits.

 QU I R K S
While quirks are usually the least complex part of your
character, they can make your character deeply memorable.
You might have a funny voice or a huge love of potatoes, for
example. The only limit on quirks is your imagination, but a
short list of example quirks is provided below.

blanket, flint & steel, torch (10)
O C C U PAT I O N TA G S
Occupation tags are listed in italics directly below the
title of any given profession. There are seven occupation
tags: academic, aristocratic, mercantile, militant, religious,
underworld, and wandering.
Seven of the nine backgrounds specify that you gain an
added bonus if you choose a profession with a particular
occupation tag. For example, the born warrior states that
you gain +2 Forced March if you take a profession with the
militant occupation tag.
P ROF E S S I O N S
When creating a character, in addition to your background,
you gain one profession of your choice. There are two
exceptions: If you are a knave, you gain two professions
(you cannot pick the same profession twice). If you are an
urchin, you do not gain any profession.
Each profession has one or more occupation tags, so
be sure to check and see if this gives you any additional
bonuses based on your background. When you gain a
professional rank, you may choose to gain a rank in the
same profession or get the 1st rank of a new profession.
 This decision should reflect your character’s advancement
in the campaign world. For example, if you began the game
as a nomad, but became involved in a particular community
and took care of a lot of problems for them, you might
choose to gain a rank in knight or guard instead of ranking
up in nomad when you gain a second professional rank.
Professional ranks range from 1 to 5, and it is unusual for
a character to ever acquire more than 5 total professional
ranks. The profession that you choose will grant you access
to specific narrative benefits throughout the game. The
higher your rank in a given profession, the more power and
influence you have within that profession. For example, if
you have 1 rank in soldier, you are able to secure lodging
and free meals from other members of your military
institution. If you have 5 ranks in soldier, then you can
levy other soldiers into your service when they are in your
vicinity.
NOTE TO MCS:
P R O F E S S I O N A L A DVA N C E M E N T
Over the course of the game, a PC should gradually
gain ranks in their profession, representing the PC’s
slow increase in power and influence over time. A
PC should gain one new rank in their profession for
every 6 character ranks that they have, on average.
Note, however, that professions are specifically
intended to reflect a character’s roleplaying and
narrative-based decisions, so you should give out
profession ranks more frequently when it makes
sense to do so as a narrative reward. They also make
excellent quest rewards. PCs might also get ranks in
multiple professions, such as a rank 2 soldier being
awarded an honorable title (rank 1 honorable) after
completing a quest for a viscount. Such a character
would then have 3 professional ranks: 2 soldier, and
1 honorable.
GOODWILL
Some professions reference Goodwill, which represents your
standing in various aspects of the community. You can read
more about Goodwill in Chapter 7 (see p. 333).

RANK 1
You have a knack for disguises and can create a fake identity
with one hour of work. This identity does not include any
official paperwork and will not stand up to investigation.
Once per day in a friendly settlement you may attempt to
run a scam. This scam can include selling a miracle drug,
knockoff items, fake investments, or similar ruses and
successfully running the scam earns you 2d20+20 sc. There
is a 20% chance your scam is exposed.
This action can be repeated, but every subsequent attempt
in that same settlement within a one month period comes
with an additional 5% chance of being exposed. If the
scam is exposed, gain -3 community goodwill and the local
authorities immediately know your name (or that of your
disguise) and will seek you out for arrest or recompense. No
other scams can be run in that settlement for one month.
If the scam does not involve or target notable NPCs or

scam into a couple dice rolls and let you narrate how it
happens. First, roll to determine how many sc your scam
earns, then roll percentile dice to determine if your scam is
exposed or not.

the efficacy of what you are selling. For each conspirator you
hire, you lose 1d20 sc when running a scam, as you have
to divide the coin up with them. However, each conspirator
also decreases your chance of being exposed by 5%, to a
minimum of 5%.
RANK 3
Successfully running a scam now earns you 8d20+80 sc.
You can now recruit up to three conspirators. Your fake
identities now include official looking documentation

 CHAPTER 3: CLASSES
M
ost adventurers gain classes at some point in their
career. Classes are unique groupings of talents
with powerful capstone abilities, setting you apart
from common rabble. Many soldiers can fight competently,
but warriors command the field of battle on an entirely
different scale.
You do not have to take a class. You could choose to simply
keep taking specialization talents and/or magic talents and
focus on abilities granted outside of class talents. But the
thirteen classes in this chapter cover a broad range of heroic
abilities, so you’re likely to find something here that suits
your vision.
Note that all classes have a prerequisite: you must be
Character Level 2 or higher before you can enter a class.
This means that at level 1, the talent you take must be a
specialization talent (see p. 290) or magic entry talent (see
p. 211).
C L A S S BR E A K D OW N
BERZERKER
Berzerkers are ferocious and direct fighters that channel
their terrible rage into devastating combat prowess.
CLERIC
Devotees of one or more gods, clerics use divine magic and
holy power to achieve their gods’ instructions.
MAGE
From studious, academic wizards to chaotic sorcerers,
mages have a profound ability to manipulate the arcane.
ORACLE
Mystical hermits and diviners, oracles can use primal or
psionic magic to predict the future or maintain a balance
over the natural world.
PUGILIST
Whether a brawny boxer, a nimble martial artist, or a well-
rounded wrestler, a pugilist excels at unarmed combat.
RANGER
Wardens of the natural world and guides through uncharted
wilderness, rangers are often more at home in unsettled
lands than in luxurious cities.
76 C hapter 3 | C lasses
ROGUE
Skilled operatives that are usually outside the law,
rogues might specialize in assassination, impersonation,
exfiltration, and the like.
TINKERER
By spending countless hours fiddling with scrap parts,
tinkerers can create wondrous items. Some tinkerers
enhance their items with arcane magic.
TROUBADOUR
Whether a singer, storyteller, poet, or visual performer,
troubadours travel from court to court to make their name
as masterful performers.
VESSEL
By siphoning power from gods and other planar entities,
vessels augment their own souls for monumental power…
but at terrible cost.
WA R R I O R
Warriors are the ultimate soldiers and fighters; highly skilled
and versatile, they can hold their own in nearly any combat
scenario.
WITCH
Harnessing primal or occult power, witches bond with
familiars and can brew various concoctions to bolster their
allies.
ZEALOT
Loyal and stalwart, zealots remain utterly dedicated to their
cause, by punishing evildoers or standing between evil and
the innocent.
G A I N I N G TA L E N T S
You gain one talent each time you level up. Note that all
class talents have prerequisites that you must meet before
you can take that talent. Prerequisites might be a Character
Level (such as Character Level 2), a number of talents in a
track (such as Familiar 3), or a specific talent (such as Flock
of Familiars II).
Classes also have several talents with the Capstone tag.
Capstone talents are especially powerful ways to define your
character. You can only ever have one Capstone talent.
Note that many abilities can only be used a certain number
of times and have a recharge. 2/Rest means that you can
use an ability 2 times, regaining it when you Take a Rest.
Similarly, AWR/Recoup means that you can use an ability a
number of times equal to your AWR, regaining all expended
uses when you Recoup. You can always use an ability at least
one time, even if your relevant attribute is 0 or less.
Classes and talent tracks are presented alphabetically.
Talents within tracks are presented in the approximate order
that you can unlock them.

“I embrace the darkness within. It makes
me strong. My fury is my guide, and I will
meet victory… or oblivion.”

-Hanniah Sharptooth, queen of viscera

You were born amidst the towering arctic mountains,
axe and spear in hand. From an early age, you displayed
unmatched ferocity and an unyielding spirit, but there was
also a darkness about you. Even by the time you were a
young teen, you displayed not just bravery, but unmitigated
savagery on the battlefield. As you continued to hone your
physical prowess, the burning rage within you only grew
hotter. Now, you brim with tremendous bloodlust. The
life of adventuring suits you, especially a life in pursuit
of dangerous battles, as you look for any opportunity to
unleash your inner demons.
You are known and feared for your unstoppable blood
rages. Whether you give into a blind fury or enter an almost
transcendent state of awareness amid the carnage, your
blood rage is a savage and terrible thing that few have ever
survived.

B E R Z E R K E R S TA C K S
Exile. Your life is a cruel joke. Through some misdeed or
overzealous act, you have become an exile, and you seek to
make your own way in an uncaring world.
Fearless. You are made of sterner stuff than the average
soldier, and do not frighten easily. You can stare down any
horror without flinching.
Juggernaut. Capable of withstanding more punishment
than your companions, you assume the responsibility of the
front-line fighter where you can absorb the brunt of enemy
attacks.
Rage. By unleashing your inner demons, you can fuel your
attacks with mighty rage. This allows you to do significantly
more damage, but also makes you easier to hit in your blind
fury.

“Each soul is a unique thread in a divine
tapestry. It is my sacred duty to nourish
these threads, as they are gifts given by the
gods themselves. I tend especially to those
threads that are frayed and in need of
repairs.”

-Marcus Luxxor, disciple of Tovare

Having been raised in the orbit of a great religious order,
piety is in your blood. As a child, you strove to give alms
and help the needy whenever you could manage. You
sought out the wise counsel of the priests and clergy in your
town, and you took their teachings to heart, meditating on
the precepts of your deities both day and night. Now, as a
righteous pillar of your religious community, you continue to
follow the path you began as a child: in all that you do, you
seek to venerate your gods and enact their will on the world
around you.
You might pursue many clerical studies or focus your
mind and soul upon mastering a single discipline, becoming
an expert healer, righteous combatant, dedicated scholar,
or a blend thereof. Regardless, you always have your divine
icon at your side, a holy depiction of your god or your
tenets. Your divine icon both serves as a moral anchor for
you and connects you to deities that bless you with vestiges
of holy authority.

C L E R I C S TA C K S
Exorcist. Stronger of will than your average clergyperson
or preacher, you might make it your life’s mission to stare
down the darkest demons of humanity and draw them out of
unfortunate souls.
Piety. You can work small miracles, healing injury and
disease with a mere touch, or invigorating a season’s crops
to bounty.
Theologian. You passionately study scripture and ancient
texts, and how to illuminate manuscripts or scribe ornate
icons with which you can spread the miraculous wonder of
your faith.
Divine Icons. You have at least one divine icon, which
holds within it vestiges of holy power from the god or gods
that you worship.

excited. Ever curious about the world and the power within
you, you have never shied away from experimentation with
your magical powers. In your youth, this caused your family
endless grief and singed eyebrows. Now, having mastered
the basics of arcane magic, you seek to continue your study
and uncover ever deeper mysteries of the fundamental
wellspring of magic.
Developing skill as an arcane caster necessitates that
you maintain Attunation with the Fundamental Wellspring.
This entails different practices for different casters, so in
your case it might involve reading complex arcane texts or
meditating intensely on the metaphysics or astrophysics of
the universe. Be proactive, for if you become lackadaisical
in maintaining Attunation, your skill will gradually atrophy,
and you might lose your arcane ability altogether if you do
not diligently cultivate this Attunation.

“Knowledge is both a gift and a curse.
Do not seek to understand the future, as
this can never be known, but instead to
understand the currents that shape it. May
the wisdom of the stars guide your steps
towards a future that begets goodness.”

-Alanákalai Eyarie, prophet

Born under a unique configuration of Ancerra’s five moons,
you were destined for mystic greatness. As a child, you
possessed an innate sensitivity to people’s emotional states
and to the natural world around you, and often you felt that
unsettling sense that you knew something would happen
before the fact, and it came to pass precisely as you had
expected. This led you to seek the counsel of an experienced
mystic, who taught you the ways of oracular prophecy.
Embracing your role as a link between the physical and the
spiritual, you have yourself become an enigmatic guide to
those who seek prophetic vision.
Regardless of how accurate you are, you may be called
upon frequently to predict the future. Give some thought
to how you feel about such requests. Do you believe that
you can actually divine the future on command, or do you
think that such visions are only occasionally gifted to you?
Is it a skill you can get better at, or just an innate knack you
possess? Furthermore, what kind of physical props, such as
tarot cards or animal bones, do you use when attempting
such soothsaying?

In the streets, nobody cares if you wanna
fight fair or not. You gotta hit ‘em hard,
and hit ‘em where it hurts ‘til your right

-Charlie Cobbler, provider for his family

You grew up in a rough neighborhood and had been in more
than your fair share of street fights by the time you were
a teen. Forged and tempered by your brutal environment,
you are familiar with the necessity of fighting over scraps
of food and the agony of gnawing hunger and broken ribs
after losing such a fight. But you remained determined to
persevere despite innumerable hardships. Through sheer
will to survive, unwavering grit, and bloody fists, you
became a powerful unarmed combatant, capable of going
toe to toe even with skilled warriors that fight with sword or
spear.
Your skill in unarmed combat is unquestioned, and your
style very distinct. Do you rely on your overwhelmingly
powerful physique to crush your foes? Maybe you fight
with an unpredictable blend of strength and agility, or
you might rigorously train in various forms that you
can use to outmaneuver enemies with different fighting
styles. Whatever your personal blend of unarmed combat
maneuvers, you quickly cultivate a reputation among other
fighters for your skill at holding your own against armed
combatants.

“The wilderness gives me solace as I
continue my grim purpose: to slay that
which would threaten the natural order.”

-Grim, monster slayer

You grew up on the fringes of your settlement, spending
more time in the wilderness beyond than in the safety of
your own homestead. In your youth, you came to love
the serenity of rugged nature over the clamor of frivolous
settled life. You are more at home with the wolves and the
elk than with nobles and debutants. In your early adulthood,
you made the decision to leave civilization completely in
exchange for a life in the wilds. Now, you defend your
heartland from supernatural monstrosities that threaten
to upset the balance of nature, and from the cruelties of
careless hunters or loggers who regard the natural cycle of
life with disrespectful indifference.
As you are more at home in the wilderness than in
civilization, you must determine how you intend to survive
on your own merits. Do you hone your physical prowess
until you can go toe to toe with the strongest warrior? Do
you sharpen your senses and your survival skills, stalking
prey through rugged wilds with more finesse than any cat
or bird? Maybe you tap into the Primal Source, using magic
to enhance your physical capabilities and to speak with the
animals whose home you share.

“Only four guards? I’m offended.”

-Avery Gray, the “Little Shadow”

You’ve been dealt a difficult hand. You grew up in society’s
unforgiving underbelly, and from an early age you have had
to resort to thievery or deception to find food and lodging.
Through trial and error, you have learned what fools people
and what does not. Living in the shadows on the fringes
of society, you have quietly observed as other, more skilled
rogues earn their illicit livelihoods. Seeking to emulate the
most successful thieves and con artists, you have learned
how to stay one step ahead of the law.
The most successful rogues know the other players in
their game: crime lords, skilled pickpockets, charlatans,
corrupt nobles, bribed guards, aspiring politicians, and the
pesky incorruptible altruists among such folk. You make
it your business to stay informed on all such individuals.
Are there any among these scoundrels whom you would
trust? Would you ever try to form a family of sorts with
any of these fellow rogues, or do you find that you only
trust your own intuition? Even if you would never trust
another rapscallion, what offer would convince you to work
alongside another individual or group to complete a job?
You should always ask yourself these questions, relying on
both logic and gut instinct as your answers might change on
a daily or even hourly basis.

“The gods themselves handle their power
irresponsibly. Why any would put their
faith in such fickle beings is utterly beyond
me. If you want something done right, do it
yourself.”

-Dungrel Razevow, magic thief

You’ve always known that something is not right with the
world. Deity and demon alike seem utterly concerned
with their own plans and care not for the mortal world.
In response, you have grown increasingly bitter, and have
finally taken it upon yourself to rewrite the world as you see
fit. By siphoning power from gods and planar entities, you
will become a god in your own right, and will act with more
justice and care than any before you.
Being a vessel is a dangerous affair. You are constantly
stealing traces of power from tremendous, unfathomable
planar entities. In so doing, you run the risk of their
retaliation. How do you recognize your own role in the
grand scheme of the cosmos? Do you steal power with a
sense of resignation that one day you will be caught and
punished, or do you boldly believe that eventually you
might become as powerful as a demigod yourself? Do you
steal from many different gods to hide your tracks, or do
you find yourself returning to the same deity over and over?
Would you ever enter into some form of mutual agreement
with a deity in exchange for a reliable stream of power, or is
this too limiting for your aspirations?
What exactly do you hope to achieve from taking godly
power into your own hands? If you pursue some kind of
abstract moral goal, how will you know when you have
achieved it? How much power do you need from the gods in
order to achieve this goal, and is there truly no safer way to
do so?
Or, maybe you steal from the gods just because you like it.

-Belozog Mishkova, repentant exile

Your path to becoming the warrior you are today was
one of absolute discipline. At a young age, you were a
gifted athlete, playing in children’s sports or getting into
trouble pushing back against authority. As you grew, your
restlessness matured into a desire to protect those that
are weaker than you. Guided by great blademasters, you
learned your way around sword and spear, shield and bow.
A versatile fighter, you are almost equally capable with any
weapon and any suit of armor, making you an invaluable
soldier. You also have a keen mind for battle tactics and act
with disciplined measure as you direct your foes away from
your weaker allies.
What motivates you when you don your armor? What
thoughts stick with you as you draw your weapons and
slog into the battlefield? How do your driving goals inform
your fighting style? If you are motivated by vengeance,
you might be an especially merciless fighter, whereas if you
desire to protect your loved ones, you might stay your blade
when you have the opportunity to do an enemy in, letting
compassion guide your hand as much as justice. Maybe you
have no scruples at all and will simply do what is asked of

Signs that you were somehow different began at an early

perhaps this is coincidence. Whatever the case, the adults

invited you into their ranks, you began to truly master your

Witches often have many hobbies and one or two crafts
that they pursue to perfection. What are you most interested
in, and what do you fiddle with in your spare time? Does the

Maneuver Ability

Dodger Spend 2 AP to make an unarmed or natural weapon attack a creature then Dodge. This ends your turn,
but you keep any leftover AP.

Forced Release You can use the Disarm advanced maneuver. When you hit an enemy with an unarmed or natural
weapon attack, you may attempt to disarm it as part of the same attack.

Go For the Knees Make a 2 AP unarmed or natural weapon attack against a creature’s REF. If you hit, deal damage and
they fall prone.

Gut Punch Make a 4 AP unarmed attack against a creature’s FORT. If you hit, deal damage and they are Stunned
until the end of their next turn.

Headlock Make a 3 AP unarmed or natural weapon attack against your Grappled target’s REF or FORT (their
choice). If you hit, they take damage as normal and become Restrained while you still have them
Grappled. Breaking free from Restrained in this way also ends the Grapple.

Jab You can use the Exploit advanced manuver. Making Reactive Attacks with unarmed or natural weapons
costs 1 fewer AP (min 1).

Mind Games Spend 2 AP to Engage a creature within 5 ft of you.

The Ol’ One-Two When you make an unarmed or natural weapon attack on your turn, you can make a second unarmed
or natural weapon attack for 1 fewer AP (min 1). You must not be holding anything in either hand to
gain this benefit unless it is Brass Knuckles or a Cestus.

Psych Out Make a 3 AP unarmed or natural attack against a creature’s ANT. If you hit, deal damage and they are
Taunted.

Roll When you are knocked prone, you may spend 1 Reactive AP to immediately stand and move 10 ft

Shove Make a 2 AP unarmed or natural weapon attack vs FORT. If you hit, deal normal damage and push the
target 5 ft in a direction of your choice.

Supplex Make a 3 AP attack against your Grappled target’s FORT. If you hit, move 5 ft; you fall prone; and your
target falls prone. Roll unarmed or natural weapon damage. You take that damage and your target takes
double that damage and is Dazed until the end of their next turn.

Trade Blows When an enemy makes a melee attack against you, you may spend 1 Reactive AP to let it automatically
hit without rolling (this means the attack cannot crit). As part of the same reaction, you may make a 0
AP unarmed or natural weapon attack against that creature with TA.

Uppercut Make a 3 AP unarmed or natural weapon attack against a creature’s FORT. If you hit, deal damage and
they move 5 ft directly away from you, then fall prone.

INVENTOR TRACK
INVENTOR
Tinkerer, Inventor
Prerequisites: Tinkerer Entry
You can make a variety of unique nonmagical items
assuming you have the time and materials. You learn how to
make five items from the Tinkering Item List, and can carry
up to five items of this nature at a time. Special Arrows &
Bolts do not count toward this total. Only you may use items
that you create from the Tinkering Item list.
For every 2 hours you spend tinkering, make an INT check
using a Crafting skill with your Tinker’s Tools, and note the
results. Tinkering checks are cumulative. For example, if you
roll a 11 on day 1, and a 19 on day two, that is considered
30.
If you have access to a workshop, the Tinkering Check
total required is halved. Your first 2 hours of tinkering a
day can be a part of Taking a Rest. See the Tinkering Item
List for a list of items, and note that your MC may allow
additional items!
S A LVA G E
Tinkerer, Inventor
Prerequisites: Inventor
You can break down nonmagical items for materials and use
them for other items or their currency cost whenever you
spend time tinkering. Most items can be broken down as a
part of the time you spend tinkering on other inventions.
A particularly complex or large item may have a tinkering
cost, determined by your MC.
If you’re breaking down items for currency, you can find
someone to purchase the materials for 80% of the item’s
value, regardless of the item’s state of repair, anywhere
where there is trade of raw materials.
Salvaged items are unrecognizable, which means you
can sell them even if the item itself may have baggage that
would make it undesirable, such as being believed to be
haunted or stolen.
If you salvage items to use for Tinkering parts, take the
sc value of the item you’re salvaging, and reduce your
Tinkering check requirement for whatever you’re crafting by
that amount.
CRAFTER

BREAKTHROUGH
Tinkerer, Inventor
Prerequisites: Inventor 5
Incompatible: Augmentor
Choose a magical item, weapon, or piece of armor that
you possess and that requires 25 or fewer Essence Points
and Salvage it. You learn how to add that item’s abilities,
or “Enchantments” for the purpose of the abilities in the
Tinkering track, to your Masterwork. You can add or change
enchantments to your Masterwork by spending 2 hours
Tinkering with it. A single magical item, weapon, or armor
piece counts as one Enchantment, even if it has multiple
abilities.
You can know a number of Enchantments equal to your
INT, and can have a number of Enchantments active on
your Masterwork at one time equal to ½ your INT. You
must also observe the typical rules for Essence Points (see
p. 213). However, your Masterwork uses only half the
Essence Points you have imbued onto it through Masterwork
Enchantments. For example, if you have three Enchantments
with 80 total Essence Points, your Masterwork uses 40 of
your Essence Points.
Weapons can be improved with Item or Weapon
Enchantments. Armor can be improved with Item or Armor
enchantments or improvements. Items can be improved only
with Item enchantments or improvements.
If you change your Masterwork, it loses this improvement
until you add it to your Masterwork again.

MAGITECHNICIAN SPELL STORING

TRACK
A R CA N E A R T I F I C E R
Tinkerer, Magitechnician
Prerequisites: Tinkerer Entry
You gain the Student of the Arcane talent if you do not
already have it. Each time you level up and spend your
talent point on a talent in the Magitechnician stack, you
gain +5 SP and +1 Arcane Power.
Magitechnicians cast spells as if they were devices, and
the caster can choose how they describe the spells being
cast. Perhaps a Fireball is launched from a firearm-like
device, Fly might be a jetpack, Raise Skeleton could be a
mechanical backpack puppeteering bones, and Living Letter
might be a tiny drone.
This has no mechanical effect other than when you trigger
Backlash as a Magitechnician. In this case, you do not
take damage or end your turn, but you lose access to the
spell that triggered Backlash until you Take a Rest, as the
contraption needs to be repaired.
GOLEMANCER
Tinkerer, Magitechnician
Prerequisites: Arcane Artificer
You gain the Create Lesser Golem spell if you do not already
know it. If you do not have a Lesser Golem active, casting
this spell is free for you and the created golem is permanent.
It can be made of Metal or Stone as its Primary Material,
and it gains +2 STR. It is created by the Arcane Source. It
gains the Mend and Minor Conjuration cantrips.
Tinkerer, Magitechnician
Prerequisites: Golemancer
You create an object - such as a bracelet, locket, or ring, that
stores spells for you. When creating a mote via Delay Spell,
you can put the spell into the Spell Storing object and its
duration becomes 24 hours. Your motes cannot be released
prematurely without the condition being triggered, and after
the duration they dissipate harmlessly.
EMPOWERED MEND
Tinkerer, Magitechnician
Prerequisites: Spell Storing
You are particularly skilled with the Mend cantrip. You now
need only 80% of the pieces or components present for
Mend to work, and you can increase the casting time to gain
the equivalent of more Arcane Power. When casting Mend,
act as though you have 1 additional Arcane Power for every
additional 30 minutes you spend casting.

20 The spell costs 15 fewer SP (min 1).
The first time you cast a spell prepared in this way, it costs
0 SP, as you’ve already spent it preparing the device. After
the first time, when you cast a spell using this feature, roll
1d20 and gain the same effects from the table (potentially
reducing the spell’s SPC). You always spend AP and follow
conjuring rules as normal.
These prepared Spell Devices do not trigger backlash
the first time you would trigger backlash. If they trigger
backlash a second time, you lose access to the spell.

 CHAPTER 4: MAGIC
T
here are five Sources of magic, each of which work
a little bit differently. After providing basic rules for
magic as a whole, this chapter details each Source of
Magic, first by their lore, and then by the abilities you can
learn with that Source of Magic.
M A G I C O V E RV I E W
These rules apply to each Source of Magic.
SPELL POINTS
All spells refer to a “Spell Point Cost” (SPC) and “Spell
Points” (SP).
When you cast a spell, you must spend both the spell’s
APC (Action Point Cost) and its SPC. If you cannot, then
you are unable to cast the spell. Each time you cast a spell,
subtract its SPC from your current amount of SP.
You have a maximum amount of SP determined by the
magic talents and class talents that you have taken. You
regain all expended SP when you Take a Rest (see p. 332).
CONJURING
Some spells have the Conjuring tag. These spells must be
cast over multiple rounds. “Conjuring 1” means that you
must spend at least one full round conjuring the spell.
Rounds are counted at the beginning of your turn, meaning
that even if you move and then start conjuring a spell, at the
start of your next turn you are considered to have spent 1
full round conjuring.
Your spell activates the moment that you have met both the
number of conjuring rounds needed, and have spent enough
AP to cast the spell.
(e.g., if you cast a spell with Conjuring 1 that needs 3 AP,
and you spend 3 AP on it on your turn, it triggers immediately
on your next turn as it will at that point meet the Conjuring 1
requirement. Alternatively, if you cast a spell with Conjuring
1 that needs 6 AP, and you spend 3 AP on it on your turn, it
triggers immediately after you spend enough AP on your next
turn to complete it.)
While conjuring, you may not move or spend any AP or
reactive AP on anything other than conjuring the spell in
question.
 If you take damage while conjuring, make a d20 roll and
add your Magic Attribute. If you roll lower than a 10, the
spell fails. You do not expend any SP. Even if you had AP, you
lose all AP until the start of your next turn.
UPCHARGING
Some spells will give you the option to make them more
powerful by upcharging them. This involves spending
additional AP and/or SP. This additional AP and/or SP
must be spent when you initially cast the spell in order to
upcharge it. If you upcharge a spell but the spell fails, you
still lose the upcharged SP, even if the spell lets you retain
the base amount of SP on a fail.
GESTURE, VERBAL,
VISUAL
Many magical abilities require some combination of
gestures, verbal components, and the ability to see your
target.
Gesture. If you cannot move your arms or relevant
appendages, you cannot cast magic with a gesture
requirement.
Verbal. If you cannot speak, you cannot cast magic with a
verbal requirement.
Visual. If you cannot see your target or the area you’re
trying to affect, you cannot cast magic with a visual
requirement.
LINES OF SIGHT AND
EFFECT
Sometimes, magic will specify that you need Line of Sight
(LoS) or Line of Effect (LoE).
Line of Sight means that nothing can obscure your vision
between you and the target of your magic. This means that
even if you meet the visual requirement to cast magic, but
obscuring phenomena such as fog or mist is in the way, you
cannot use this particular magic. However, if a pane of glass
or a transparent force field is between you and your target,
you can still cast the magic.
Line of Effect means that no physical barriers may stand
between you and the target of your magic. This means
that obscuring phenomena such as fog does not block your
magic, but a pane of glass or a transparent force field would
block your magic as it breaks LoE.
AREA OF EFFECT
Some Spells and magical effects specify that they affect
an area, such as a radius, cone, or line. To determine the
Area of Effect (AOE) of a magical ability, you can use the
following guidelines.
Cone. A cone originates from the spellcaster (on a side
or corner of the square that they occupy). The width of the
cone is equal to the distance that it is from the caster. (For
example, at 5 ft away from the caster, a cone is 5 ft wide. At
212 C hapter 4 | M agic
15 ft away from a caster, a cone is 15 ft wide.) The magical
effect affects all spaces on the battle map that are at least
half covered.
Line. Choose a point adjacent to you, and another point
a number of ft away specified by the magical effect. Draw
a line to connect those two points. Any space on the battle
map that the line enters is affected.
Radius. Every space on the battlemap that is within the
radius of the magical effect and is at least half covered is
affected.
REACTIVE CASTING
A spell’s APC will specify if it can be cast reactively.
CANTRIPS, CHANTS,
A N D P R AY E R S
Cantrips, chants, and prayers are unique magical powers
that you might learn. These powers cost 0 SP to cast and
you can cast them as many times per day as you wish.
When you reach certain power levels, the power of cantrips,
chants, or prayers become stronger.
RITUALS AND
I N V O C AT I O N S
Rituals and invocations are magical abilities that take a
significant amount of time to cast. Your specific Source
of Magic will explain how often you can use rituals or
invocations.
M U LT I P L E S O U R C E S
If you can use multiple sources of magic, then you choose
one source to be your Primary Source. You can change this
choice each time you level up, if you wish.
All magic that you cast uses the magic attribute of your
Primary Source, but halves your magic attribute when
casting magic from a source that is not your Primary Source.
Multiple Sources Example
Jake wants to play a character that has both the
Student of the Arcane and Initiate of the Occult
talents. He chooses Arcane to be his Primary Source,
meaning that INT is his magic attribute. If his INT
is 4, then he has +4 to all magic rolls using Arcane
magic, and +2 to all magic rolls using Occult magic.
FUNCTIONS OF MAGIC
The “functions” of magic refer to nine tags that spells and
other magical effects will have. These tags are as follows.
Alchemy. Transforming a substance’s properties or
physical composition.
 Altering. Teleportation magic and other magic that
changes a subject’s relationship to the world around it.
Divining. Predicting the future, seeing beyond the scope
of one’s own senses, and the like.
Enchanting. Magically charming and manipulating a
person’s emotions and thoughts.
Evoking. Powerful elemental or energy attacks, healing
energy, and similar flashy magical abilities.
Illusory. Changing something’s appearance, or projecting
false images that aren’t really there.
Necromancy. Raising the dead back to life, either through
resurrection or as undead.
Summoning. Calling forth creatures from another plane
to serve alongside you.
Warding. Protecting yourself or others from harm.
Every magical ability has one function. If an ability refers
to a magical function or a function tag (e.g., “spells with the
Enchanting tag”), they refer to these nine functions.
S O U RC E S OF M AG I C
The five Sources of Magic are inseparably linked. When
this multiverse was created, the six creator gods used the
Fundamental Wellspring to create matter, energy, and spirit.
T H E F U N D A M E N TA L
WELLSPRING
The Fundamental Wellspring is as essential to the workings
of the multiverse - and as esoteric and difficult to explain -
as gravity or wind. One can feel gravity’s effects, or see the
rustling leaves when wind blows, but actually explaining
what wind or gravity is can prove difficult for one who is
not specifically learned in such matters. The Fundamental
Wellspring is much the same. It is a spark of absolute
energy, of tremendous power and splendor, and of spirit and
consciousness. It radiated outward through the multiverse
in its inception. This Fundamental Wellspring causes matter
and energy to interact in strange, unpredictable ways; in
short, the Fundamental Wellspring allows magic to exist in
all its forms.
ESSENCE
Essence is the stuff of souls, the mental and spiritual
waves pulsing out through the cosmos as a result of the
Fundamental Wellspring. A spiritual energy that washes
through the Celestial Sea in great currents, Essence comes
together when a new living being is born. Over the course
of the being’s life, their experiences and decisions might
generate more Essence - the more change they instigate in
the world, the greater the amount of Essence they create -
so that when a creature dies, their soul departs greater than
the sum of its original parts. The Essence of the deceased
returns to the Celestial Sea and remains intact for some time
- weeks, months, or even a couple years - before it begins to
deteriorate, swirling through the endless expanse until it is
drawn into a new living organism.
THE FIVE SOURCES
The Arcane Source is the physical energy produced by
Fundamental Wellspring itself. Casters that use arcane magic
tap into the Fundamental Wellspring, using its mind-melting
power to bend the world in accordance with their whims.
The six creators are not the only gods in this multiverse.
Indeed, they have an almost entirely hands-off approach to
this particular iteration of creation, leaving the mundane
affair of governing the multiverse to the deities born within
it. Many deities exist within this multiverse, and they use
Arcane magic beyond the scope of that which any mortal
could hope to achieve. Mortals that use the Divine Source
enter into a willing agreement with one or more deities to
gain access to a sliver of that deity’s power. These agreements
might be contractual in nature, or a devout worshiper might
gain access to magic as a reward for their piety.
Some of the ambient magic released by the Fundamental
Wellspring coalesced into a single plane within the multiverse.
Acting as a self-recharging battery, this plane’s magic
eventually grew and evolved until it was distinct from arcane
magic. This became the Primal Source of magic, originally
contained within the plane known as the Everwilds. The
Everwilds became the home of the fae and embodies three
major aspects of existence: natural life, weather phenomena,
and the height and depth of sapient emotion.
While primal and divine magic can be traced back to
arcane magic, the Psionic Source is altogether different.
While arcane magic comes from the Fundamental
Wellspring’s physical energy, psionic magic comes from the
Fundamental Wellspring’s spiritual pulses. Psionic magic is
the manipulation of one’s own Essence to impose their will
on the world around them.
Like psionic casters, those who use the Occult Source deal
in the power of Essence. However, rather than training and
enhancing their own Essence, an occult caster will steal
slivers of Essence from planar entities of tremendous power.
Deities and similar creatures often do not immediately
notice when trace amounts of their power are stolen, as this
is infinitesimally small from their perspective while it gives
significant power to the thief. However, occult casters must
tread carefully, for if their thievery becomes known, the
consequences are often dire.
A RC A N E S O U RC E
Arcane magic originates from the Fundamental Wellspring,
and accessing this magic directly is very dangerous. Without
careful study and training, this would prove impossible
for all but the most powerful or lucky would-be casters.
In order to use arcane magic, one must achieve a state
of metaphysical awareness called Attunation. While the
actual use of arcane magic generally requires diligent study,
intelligence, and careful process, the ability to use it at all
C hapter 4 | M agic 213
 requires one to be open to the Fundamental Wellspring
through this Attunation.
Achieving Attunation requires an enlightenment that
comes primarily from the act of learning and mastering
a craft. Attunation and the use of magic can vary greatly.
Mages achieve Attunation most commonly through study
(This is also commonly done under a master), although some
may undertake other endeavors that both calm and open the
mind. Troubadours may achieve Attunation through creative
endeavors, such as singing, dancing, or even playwriting.
Tinkerers might achieve Attunation through crafting.
If you use arcane magic, consider how you achieved
Attunation, and be sure that you regularly practice
maintaining your Attunation. If you do not, your MC may
impose detrimental effects to your capability as an Arcane
caster.
FOCUS
An arcane caster generally has a physical object on their
person that acts as a mental focus for their Attunation. If
this object is destroyed, you can recreate it given a week
of downtime. This might be a spellbook, gem, crystal,
instrument, tool, or some other meaningful or sentimental
item.
INTENT
Arcane magic operates through the intent of the caster
directly and not through a proxy. The act of using arcane
magic is an attempt to change reality to the benefit of the
caster. For example, one caster may prefer their spellbook
well-worn, with pages dog eared and bits highlighted,
while another prefers a pristine, almost unused quality.
The second caster, upon casting the Mend cantrip on the
spellbook, may undo all the wear and tear, and the first
caster may cast the same cantrip on it again, restoring all of
the “love”.
If you are unsure of the effects of a spell or cantrip, consider
the caster’s intent. Arcane casters who attempt to use simple
tricks to cause great effect or harm, fabricate actual intent
disingenuously, (such as the mental trick of convincing oneself
they consider a book “fixed” when it is clean, for the purpose
of passing off a used book as new) or practice pedantry will
likely be blocked from Attunation and the ability to do so, or
at the MC’s discretion, may catch the eye of a planar being
who thrives on such trickery.
BACKLASH
Arcane magic drawn directly from the Fundamental
Wellspring is inherently volatile. When you roll a 1 to hit
when casting a spell or cantrip, the magic automatically fails
and you take damage equal to its SPC (min 1). This damage
immediately ends your turn, and you do not carry over any
AP and as such cannot act reactively until the end of your
next turn.
214 C hapter 4 | M agic
If you take Backlash damage that exceeds your current
level, you may roll 1d20; on a roll of 10 or higher, you only
take damage equal to your level.
If you do not have your Focus when you cast arcane magic,
you trigger backlash on a roll of 1 or 2 and take three times
the damage (after accounting for your character level, if
relevant).
CRITICAL CASTS
If you crit (see p. 328) on a spell, then you reduce the SPC
by 10. If the spell costs fewer than 10 SP, then you expend
no SP.
ARCANE MAGIC TYPES
In addition to spells, arcane magic gives you access to
cantrips.
Cantrip. Cantrips cost no SP and you can use them as
many times as you wish.
A R C A N E TA G S
These tags are referenced in various arcane spells and
cantrips.
ARCANE POWER
Arcane Power is the total number of talent Points you have
spent on arcane talents as a result of leveling up, as well as
the number of talent points you have spent in certain classes
and class stacks. Each class or stack will inform you if it
contributes to arcane power.
ARCANE RITUAL
If you know a Spell with the Arcane Ritual tag, you may
scribe that spell into a book by spending at least one hour
doing so. Spells recorded in this way can be cast without
expending SP if the SPC does not exceed your maximum SP.
This requires the spell’s full casting time + 10 minutes.
You can cast one arcane ritual per day in this way,
regardless of how many arcane rituals you know.
F U N DA M E N TA L
Spells with the Fundamental tag can only be dispelled using
the Unravel Magic spell from the arcane source.
A R C A N E TA L E N T
S TA C K
STUDENT OF THE ARCANE
Arcane, Magic Entry
Having tapped into the Fundamental Well and reach
Attunation, you gain the following benefits.
Spell Points. Gain 10 SP if this is the first Magic Entry
talent you take. Otherwise, gain 5 SP. Each time you level up
and spend your talent point in the arcane talent stack, you
gain +5 maximum SP.
Arcane Power. Gain 1 Arcane Power. Each time you level
up and spend your talent point in the arcane talent stack, you
gain +1 Arcane Power.
 Arcane Spells. You know a number of arcane cantrips and
spells equal to your Arcane Power + your INT. Each time this
number increases, learn another arcane cantrip or spell.
Student. Gain access to the arcane stack. Gain two talents
from the arcane stack. (You do not gain additional spell
points from these selections.)
Arcanist. Unless otherwise noted, your Casting Attribute
is INT.
A R CA N E CA N T R I P S
Arcane, Magic Talent, Repeatable
Gain three arcane cantrips.
A R CA N E K N O W L E D G E
Arcane, Magic Talent, Repeatable
Gain one arcane spell or cantrip, and gain +4 Skill Points
that you can assign to any skill with the Knowledge tag.
A R CA N E M A G I C
Arcane, Magic Talent, Repeatable
Gain two arcane cantrips and one arcane spell.
A R CA N E S P E L L S
Arcane, Magic Talent, Repeatable
Gain two arcane spells.
CLEAR THOUGHTS
Arcane, Magic Talent, Repeatable
You permanently lose 3d4 maximum HP and can reallocate
all talent points that have given you Arcane Power. You
cannot reassign Student of the Arcane or Clear Thoughts.
If reassigning would cause you to know fewer spells, you
can choose which spells you forget. You must spend 8
uninterrupted hours in Attunation to achieve this, and rest
for 8 hours following this process. If you are interrupted,
you must start the process over. Your talent point changes
do not take effect until you’ve finished the entire process.
Taking this talent twice does allow you to reallocate the
previous uses of this talent, but does not cause you to regain
the lost maximum HP.

Grimoire, that information is sealed away and the book
appears blank or full of illegible scribbles (your choice). The
book also appears worn and dark, as though stained by ink
or rain or by ongoing heavy use, but no effort to clean or
sully it further has any effect.
If you cast this spell on a Grimoire, you unseal it and can

MAJOR ILLUSION
Arcane Spell, Illusory
APC: 3
SPC: 32
Range: 600 ft
Requires: Visual, Line of Effect
Duration: Up to 10 minutes
Choose a number of points within range equal to or less
than your magic attribute to create sensory illusions. These
illusions can each be any combination of visual, auditory,
olfactory, or tactile. The visual dimensions of a single
illusion cannot exceed 40 cubic ft.
On each of your turns after you cast the spell, you may
spend 1 AP to move an illusion or to create a new illusion.
You may move an illusion up to 30 ft, and it must stay
within range of this spell.
If you start a new illusion that exceeds your magic
attribute, a previous illusion of your choice ends.
You may dismiss all of your illusions and end the spell for
free.
If you do not spend AP on an illusion, then it idles and
acts in a manner befitting the illusion. For example, if you
create an illusory Trollkin with a battle axe and spend no
AP on it, it will idly swing its axe around but will not make
overtly intelligent or threatening moves.
A creature can determine that your illusion is in fact
illusory after interacting with it directly (such as attacking
it) or by making an INT check against a DC of 10 + your
magic attribute, but a creature making such a check must
roll 2d20 and use the lower.
Alternatively, you can use Major Illusion to project the
contents of an Unerring Sphere, but the illusion becomes
semi translucent and obviously a projection.

So long as you are familiar with it, you can choose a very
specific destination or a more general one. For example, you
might teleport to the city-state of Bridgemoor, or you might
teleport to your private rooms in the Leaky Mugs Tavern
in the northwestern quarter of Bridgemoor. If you choose
a less specific destination, then this magic deposits you
in a reasonably open area that is generally unlikely to be
immediately harmful to you (such as a large town square or
right outside the main gate).
A target destination must be at least 20 ft wide.

(Arcane, Divine, Occult, Primal, or Psionic). Any Divining
magic used to identify the nature of this object will reveal
what you decided when you cast this spell, with the
exception of Identify Magic. The Identify Magic spell will
show that the object is under the effects of a Mask spell, but
will not reveal any of the object’s true properties.

roll to mitigate the damage (you take 150 damage).
Furthermore, make a Spellcasting roll against DC 25. If you
fail, you lose your ability to ever cast Arcane magic again. If
you succeed, you lose your ability to cast Arcane magic for 1

MINOR ILLUSION
Arcane Spell, Illusory
APC: 3
SPC: 6
Range: 60 ft

Duration: Up to 1 minute
Choose a point within range to create a sensory illusion.
This illusion can be visual, auditory, or olfactory, or any
combination of the three. If visual, it cannot be larger than
10 cubic ft.
On each of your turns after you cast the spell, you may
spend AP to move the illusion or to create a new illusion.
This costs 1 AP per sense (for example: 1 for visual, 2 for
visual and auditory, or 3 AP for all 3 senses). You may move
the illusion up to 30 ft, and it must stay within range of this
spell.
If you start a new illusion, your previous illusion ends.
You may dismiss all of your illusions and end the spell for
free.
If you do not spend AP on your illusion, then it idles and
acts in a manner befitting the illusion. For example, if you
create an illusory Trollkin with a battle axe and spend no
AP on it, it will idly swing its axe around but will not make

Requires: Gesture, Verbal, Visual
Duration: Indefinite
You create a crystalline sphere that weighs about 8 lbs and
has a circumference comparable to that of a dinner plate.
By speaking a command word, the sphere begins recording
an audio conversation, its visual environment, or both. You
determine which when you speak the command word. It
can record no more than 1 hour’s worth of content, at which
point it stops.
You may play back the recording by speaking a second
command word, and may choose to erase the recording by
speaking a third command word.
You may replay the recording taken by your own unerring
sphere indefinitely.
If you cast this spell on another caster’s unerring sphere,
then you gain access to a recording that their sphere has
taken, and you know absolutely that the unerring sphere
was created with the Unerring Sphere spell. If any other
spells are affecting the unerring sphere, you become aware
of what spell is affecting it.

D I V I N E S O U RC E
Because accessing fundamental magic directly is fraught
with peril, many casters gain access to magic through a
proxy - that is, using a deity or deific planar entity to gain
access to magic in a comparatively safe process. Some
do this intentionally, praying and meditating until they
establish contact with a god; others do it accidentally simply
by following the tenets of their religious practice. Whatever
their individual journeys, every person who ends up gaining
magical powers by way of being blessed by a planar, deific
entity has accessed the Divine Source.
Dealing directly with deities exposes you to new
problems, especially if the deities are temperamental or
demand favors in return for power. On the whole, though,
casters that use the Divine Source enjoy the knowledge
that they can safely use magic without worrying about
overexposing themselves to the sheer power of the
Fundamental Wellspring itself. They also have access to
more capacity to heal physical injuries than any other source
of magic, and based on the specific deity that they worship,
they might gain access to very unique spells.
DEITIES
A list of the major known deities in Ancerra can be found in
Appendix A (see p. 334).
T Y P E S O F D I V I N E PA C T S
Clerics, zealots, and other creatures that gain access to
divine magic might do so through a few different methods.
Most commonly, a devout worshiper of a specific god,
ideal, or pantheon will follow a deity’s tenets until the deity
takes notice and awards their devotee with divine power.
However, some more pragmatic aspirants approach a god
directly. By making a request to enter into some form of
symbiosis, a caster might gain divine magic in exchange for
conducting favors or small quests on behalf of their god.
Some particularly clever mortals might make favorable
bargains by appealing to the deity’s personality or long-term
goals.
DIVINE ORDERS
Here are a few notable divine orders, though there are many
more than just these three across Ancerra.
T H E C U LT I VAT O R S
Cultivators take vows of poverty, humility, and chastity
and commonly travel throughout Ancerra to the poorest
communities to help them develop. Some Cultivators travel
to many communities over the course of their lives, never
settling down, and others (typically the wiser ones) focus
on one or two key communities and spend their whole
lives and livelihoods helping those specific communities.

You may attempt to heal a creature that you touch that is
suffering from a Curse or is Possessed.
If the creature is Cursed, you may remove one Curse from
it immediately.
If you want to remove additional Curses, you must roll on
the Exorcism Side Effect table below for each additional curse
that you remove.
If you want to end a Possession, make a magic attack roll
against the possessing creature’s WILL. Roll 2d20 and use the
lower result.
If you succeed, the Possession ends and the possessing
creature is banished to its original plane of existence. If you
fail, or if you succeed but are on the creature’s original plane
of existence, then the Possession ends and the possessing
creature enters an unoccupied space next to the formerly
possessed creature and is hostile towards you and your allies.
Either way, roll twice on the Exorcism Side Effect table
when trying to end a Possession.
Upcharge: By accepting more dire consequences, you may
increase your likelihood of banishing a possessing creature. If
you are attempting to end a possession, you may make your
magic attack roll without rolling 2d20 and using the lower
result; instead, roll normally. If you do so, then roll four times

By thoroughly blessing a plot of land, you can insulate it
from corruption. Upon completion of the ritual, choose a
physical area no larger than a 100 ft cube. For one week, it
gains two of the following features of your choice:
Bounty: If you hallowed an area with natural vegetation,
it magically produces enough food for ten people daily. Any
excess food goes sour at the end of each day and is no longer
edible. (You may choose this feature twice to produce enough
food for 20 people daily.)
Calming: All attacks targeting a creature’s LOG or WILL
must roll 2d20 and use whichever is lower while the target
creature is in the hallowed area.
Nondetection: Creatures inside the area cannot be
targeted by Divining magic, even if they are willing.
Refresh: Recouping is more effective in this area: All
creatures regain ¼ of their HP at the end of Recouping,
instead of just Bloodied creatures; additionally, creatures
remove 2 Death Points at the end of Recouping instead of
only 1.
Repel: Choose one creature type: Celestial, Eldritch, Fae,
Fiend, Monstrosity, Titan, or Undead: Creatures of that type
cannot enter the area for the duration. (You may choose this
feature twice to choose two different creature types.)
Soothing: When a creature spends SP to restore HP to a
creature in the area, that spell restores the maximum possible
amount of HP.
Tether: Creatures within the area are Grounded.
If you cast the same ritual on the same stationary
geographical location every week for a whole year, choosing
the same effects every time, the effects become permanent.

Provided that the corpse has not been dead for longer than
5 years, you resurrect it. Given that the corpse’s Soul and
Essence has likely begun to break apart, you must roll 2d100
and then choose which number you apply to each of the
Personality and Memory tables found in the Reincarnation
ritual. Once you use a number that you rolled, you cannot
use that number again (both numbers must be used one
time each).
Resurrecting someone in this way does not restore any
missing limbs, but does restore all other organs and body
parts.
Resurrecting a creature is extremely taxing on both the
ritual caster and on the subject of the ritual. Both creatures
are Sickened for 1 week.
A creature can only be resurrected once.
Upcharge: If you feel the vital need to restore a corpse to its
original personality and memory, you may elect NOT to roll
2d100, instead assuming that you rolled 100 both times. If you
do so, you successfully restore the creature’s original memories
and personality, but you permanently lose the ability to cast
this ritual.

Provided that the corpse has not been dead for longer than

the corpse’s Soul and Essence has already begun to break
apart, you must roll 2d6. If the sum of the two dice is a 6,
7, or 8, then roll 1d100 and choose either the Personality
or Memory table found in the Reincarnation ritual. The
number you rolled on the d100 dictates the effects based on
the table that you chose. A creature can only be revived one

PERSONALITY
As an occult caster draws more and more power into
themselves and alters their own soul with ever greater
abandon, they might undergo profound personality changes.
In all but the rarest of cases, these personality changes are
a negative transformation. Whatever a caster’s greatest vice
prior to dabbling in occultism, it is likely to get accentuated.
Power-hungry casters grow lustful for absolute power.
Greedy casters become miserly copper-pinchers. Gluttonous
casters might become wildly and destructively hedonistic.
Casters that stay in touch with their positive emotions
can stave off the worst of these changes. Keeping a strong
circle of friends around you and pursuing a wide variety
of wholesome activities makes you less susceptible to the
corrupting nature of occult magic.
R E L AT I O N S H I P W I T H
DIVINITY
Occult casters often steal power from divine beings, but
do not confuse this with divine magic. While divine casters
enter into carefully negotiated contracts with their patron
deities, or they are rewarded for devout worship with
magical favors, occult casters have no form of covenant with
the deities from whom they draw power. A divine caster
might find it challenging to draw power from multiple gods
if the gods don’t get along with one another, but an occult
caster has no such inhibitions, as the gods themselves are
often unaware of the slivers of power that the occultist
steals.
O C C U LT M A G I C T Y P E S
In addition to spells, occult casters might learn chants or
rituals.
Chant. Chants cost no SP and you can use them as many
times as you wish.
Ritual. Rituals take quite a long time to cast, and each
ritual will specify how frequently you can cast it.
O C C U L T TA G S
These tags are referenced by some occult magical abilities.
O C C U LT P O W E R
Occult power is the total number of talent points you have
spent on occult talents as a result of leveling up, in addition
to the number of talent points you have spent in certain
classes or stacks. These classes or stacks will specify that
they contribute to Occult Power.
CURSE AND CHARM
Curse and Charm are tags that denote an effect that lingers
with its target for the magic’s duration, even if an effect
would normally dispel or suppress magic.

be extended if you spend a smaller amount of AP on
subsequent rounds, but these spells still have a maximum
duration. If you neglect to spend the required Incantation
AP at any point on subsequent turns, then the spell ends;
you must spend SP again to recast the spell if you wish to
renew the effects.
This might look like: Incantation (1 AP; max 10 minutes)
- this means that after you initially cast the spell, you must
spend 1 AP on your next turn if you want to keep the spell
going. If you keep the spell going for 10 minutes, then it
expires at that point.
R I T UA L I Z E
This tag means that the spell can be cast as a ritual, which
does not expend SP. Each spell with an incantation tag will
specify how many times it can be used as a ritual, and when
you regain the ability to do so.

Materials: Up to 3 corpses, and 250 sc worth of ruby dust
per corpse, which the ritual consumes
Recharge: Rest
Duration: Instantaneous
Target up to three corpses as part of this ritual. Each corpse
must have a majority of its torso and must have a head.
You animate those corpses: they each become a skeleton
or zombie (your choice for each corpse). They follow your
mental commands for 24 hours, at which point they become
autonomous unless you reassert control over them.
If you cast this ritual and target one or more skeletons
or zombies that you have already animated using this
ritual, then you extend your control over them for another
24 hours. Reasserting control over a skeleton or zombie
costs no ruby dust, as opposed to animating one for your
first time. If you do this on the same skeleton(s) and/
or zombie(s) at least once per day for a year, then they
permanently follow your commands without any further
need of this ritual.
If a skeleton or zombie that you control dies, and you
animate it again using this ritual, it is no longer under your
control and will act autonomously.
Dark Power: You may attempt to raise a corpse without
expending ruby dust. For the first corpse that you attempt to
raise in this way, make a Spellcasting check against DC 10.
All subsequent corpses that you attempt to raise in this way
increase the DC by 4 cumulatively. This DC resets when you

the following benefits:
• +5 Intimidating and +5 Sneaking (this can exceed
the normal cap of +20 to a skill)

of the Black City of Durlossoth. If you crit fail, then you attract
the attention of the Prince of Ruin, Sahrnulothon himself. Your
MC will determine the consequences of such attention.

Trembling. For the extent of the curse, it is Shaken. It cannot
remove this Shaken condition by any means other than spells,
chants, and/or invocations from the Primal and/or Psionic
source of magic. Such magic will suppress the effects for the

Duration: Up to 1 hour
You enter into a state of lucid dreaming through which you
can contemplate the workings of the world, explore the
world and the planes beyond, or attempt to communicate
with another dreaming creature.
Communicate: Choose a creature with whom you have
interacted in the past and with whom you have a friendly
relationship. Provided that the creature in question is also
sleeping, you may both converse for the duration. Both
creatures have the option to end this conversation at any

awakens.
Contemplate: If you have failed an INT check on a topic
in the last 24 hours, then you may make a new check, rolling
2d20 and use the higher of the two.
Explore: You can cast your consciousness about a
metaphysical facsimile of the physical world and the
planescape. If you have a specific destination in mind, make
a spellcasting roll. If you have been to this destination before,
roll 2d20 and use the higher. Your MC will set the DC of this
check based on how close you are to the destination, if it is
on a different plane of existence, and if your current physical
and metaphysical state of body and soul lend you to easily
accessing that destination in your dreams. (Some typical
benchmark DCs are provided below.) If you are not looking
for a specific destination, then your MC will narrate to you
what you discover as your soul wanders the metaphysical
world of dreams.

Choose up to three points within range. All areas within a
10 ft radius of each of those three points immediately burst
into flame. Each of the fires operate using the following
principles. Once they touch each other, they continue to
operate in this way but only count as a single fire.
Any flammable materials that are not being worn or carried
catch fire. These fires will expand by 5 ft every 30 seconds.
If there is a strong wind, then they will instead expand by 5
ft every 10 seconds in the direction that the wind is blowing.
If the fire is burning uphill, it will move an additional 5
ft. Although sparked by magic, the fire itself is considered
nonmagical.
The fire creates thick smoke in a radius three times as
wide as the radius of the fire. Smoke imposes the Concealed
condition on all creatures within it. Additionally, creatures
that begin their turn in Smoke must make an END check
against a DC of 10 + your magic attribute. If they fail, then
they suffer a condition; if they already had that condition,
then they gain an additional condition on top of any previous
effects:
• Shaken until outside the radius of smoke
• Sickened until outside the radius of smoke
• Fatigued
• Slowed until outside the radius of smoke
• Suffocating until outside the radius of smoke
A creature that starts their turn in the fire or moves into it
for the first time on a turn must make an END check against a
DC of 10 + your magic attribute. That creature takes 2d8 Fire
damage if they fail the check, and ½ damage if they succeed.
Fire created from this Ritual will burn until extinguished
through magical or mundane means or until it runs out of
natural fuel.
Dark Power: When you cast this Ritual, make a Spellcasting
check against a DC of 10 + double your character level. If you
succeed, you cast the ritual as intended. If you Crit, you also
summon a Fire elemental, which appears in the center of one
of the fires of your choice and is hostile towards all creatures.
If you fail, then one of the three fires originates in your space
(randomly determine which of the three fires is not cast where
you intended it). If you fail by 10 or more, you summon a Fire
Elemental, which appears in an unoccupied space within 10 ft
of you and is hostile towards you and your allies.

By tracing a star within a circle, you create a warding
pentagram. The pentagram can be as small as 5 ft in
diameter to as large as 30 ft in diameter. You may choose,
upon casting the pentagram, whether it is visible or
invisible. The pentagram remains until you cast it again or
travel more than 10 miles away from it.
At any point while the pentagram is in place, you may
spend 3 AP to activate it or deactivate it. When it is not
active, any creature can move through the pentagram’s
perimeter unhindered.
When it is active, the pentagram’s perimeter is an invisible
force field that blocks line of effect and through which
creatures cannot physically move. Any attempts to cast
Arcane, Divine, or Occult magic while in the pentagram
immediately fail. If a creature inside the pentagram attempts
to cast Primal or Psionic magic, it must first roll a magic
attack against your WILL; if it hits, then it can cast its spell.

magic with a Verbal requirement, they must first make a

If they succeed, they can cast the spell; if they fail, they do

Duration: 1 Hour
Immediately upon conjuring this spell, you or a willing
creature that you touch throughout the conjuring undergoes
a cultic transformation. The creature’s legs are transformed
into those of a goat. This transformation is painful; the
creature takes 1d6 Energy (Psychic) damage unless it
already had goat legs or goatlike legs (such as being a satyr,
minotaur, or already being under the transformative effects
of this spell permanently).
For the extent of the Charm, the creature gains the
following benefits:
• Their speed increases by 5 ft.
• Their REF increase by +2.
• It takes 0 AP to stand from prone.
• Difficult Terrain does not slow the creature’s movement.
Upcharge: You may spend more SP on this spell to decrease
the likelihood of the Dark Power effect.
Dark Power: When you cast the spell, roll 1d20 and add the
number of SP you spent on the spell. If you get lower than 16,
the transformation becomes permanent. After the initial hour,
however, the creature loses all benefits gained from the spell
and is left with its new type of legs. Casting this spell again on
a creature with permanently transformed legs will grant it the
spell’s benefits for an additional hour.
Spells, rituals, and magical effects that undo or dispel the
effects of magic will undo this effect, dealing 1d6 psychic
damage to the creature as its legs transform again.
Ritualize: If you cast this spell as a ritual, it takes 30 minutes
to cast, but you ignore the Dark Power effect. You can cast this
spell as a ritual once, regaining the ability to do so upon Resting.

extinguished but shed no light while in this area, and
nonmagical vision is insufficient to see anything in the area.

After smiling at a creature, make a magic attack against

the extent of the curse, the creature suffers from extreme
paranoia, resulting in the following effects:
• The creature is Shaken.
• When the creature attempts to Take a Rest, it must
make an INT check against DC 10 + your magic
attribute. If it fails, then it gains the benefits of a Recoup
but not of Taking a Rest.
• The creature is Phobic of smiling and takes 1d6 psychic
damage whenever this phobia activates.
If another creature witnesses the death of the affected
creature, then the curse transmits to the new creature unless
there were additional witnesses.
Dark Power: If you miss your initial attack and roll a 5 or
lower, then the curse affects you instead of the target creature.
Ritualize: If casting this spell as a ritual, the casting takes
10 minutes. It costs no SP when cast as a ritual. When cast as
a ritual, there is no risk of Dark Power, but if the spell fails you
still lose your SP.

P R I M A L S O U RC E
The Fundamental Wellspring, having created both magic
and matter, is also responsible for the creation of the planes
of existence. The Everwilds are a particularly chaotic
soup of energy gone wild. As the archfae came about,
they encouraged the chaos, fanning the flames of magical
power in the Everwilds to run absolutely amok. It has self-
perpetuated itself and diffused over that particular plane
of existence to the point where it is its own self-contained,
self-propagating source of magic: the Primal Source.
THE EVERWILDS
The Everwilds is a plane of existence that was created by
the coalescence of ambient arcane magic. Because it has
diffused and stabilized over many thousands of years, the
Primal Source is safer to access than tapping into the Arcane
Source directly. Conversely, the Primal Source has fewer
applications than the Arcane Source.
The Everwilds are known for wildly dramatic weather
patterns, nature runs absolutely rampant, and the whimsical
and malevolent Archfae who make their home in this plane
(basic information on the Archfae can be found in the Divine
Source). A couple of the most notable groups that practice
Primal magic are noted below.
T H E S T O R M C O N C L AV E
The Storm Conclave are vengeful naturalists trying to
burn down society and return everyone to hunter-gatherer
lifestyles, the way that they believe nature intended. They
especially target international trading groups or popular
routes utilized by intercity merchants, trying to destabilize
the veins of modern living and return the world to its days
of glory.
T H E H AV E N C O N C L AV E
The Haven Conclave are guides and sentinels. Their cloisters
offer shelter and solace from the storm. Their rangers and
oracles stand on the edges of the more depraved elements of
wilderness, defending innocent humanoids and beasts alike
from unnatural threats. Others might offer their services as
guides to merchants or adventuring parties struggling to
navigate a fearsome land.
PRIMAL MAGIC TYPES
In addition to spells, primal casters can learn chants and
invocations.
Chant. Chants cost no SP and you can use them as many
times as you wish.
Invocation. If you know any invocations, you may cast
invocations a number of times equal to your Primal Tier. This
resets each time you Take a Rest.

These tags are referenced by some primal magic abilities.
E M O T I O N , N AT U R E , & W E AT H E R
These are a set of three tags that reflect the aspect of the
Everwilds that a given magical ability represents. Every
primal magical ability has one of these tags. This has
no effect on the magical ability itself, but some talents
reference these tags.
EXTRINSIC & INTRINSIC
These tags reflect whether a magical ability affects the world
around you or simply bolsters your own abilities in some
way. Every primal magical ability has one of these tags.
This has no effect on the ability itself, but some talents will
reference these tags.
PRIMAL POWER
Your Primal Power is the total number of talent points you
have spent on primal talents as a result of leveling up. Some
classes or class stacks also grant you Primal Power; each
class or stack will specify this.
PRIMAL TIER
Your Primal Tier increases at varying increments of Primal
Power, as shown on the table below.

At the end of the casting time, make a magic attack roll
against DC 20. Add 5 to the DC if you are in a desert or
jungle (or any terrain with a temperature exceeding 24 C or
80 F). Subtract 5 from the DC if you are in an environment
with below-freezing temperatures. If you hit the DC, then
you cast the invocation and suffer Fatigue. If you miss, then
you are unable to cast this Invocation but you still expend
the use of one of your Invocations and still suffer Fatigue.
Choose a point within range. Thick, billowing clouds
materialize in a 1 mile radius from that point. Harsh winds
and sheets of snow pummel the area. All nonmagical
sources of fire that are exposed to the blizzard are
immediately extinguished. Choose which direction the
Blizzard blows for the duration. The blizzard moves 30 ft
in that direction at Initiative count 0 for the duration. For
the duration, the following effects apply while creatures are
directly exposed to the blizzard:
• All ranged attack rolls that deal physical or elemental
damage in the area automatically fail, with the
exception of cold damage.
• Creatures attempting to fly in this area must first make
a STR check against a DC of 10 + your magic attribute;
if they fail, they cannot fly in a direction of their choice.
If they were on the ground, they remain on the ground;
if they were in the air, they move 30 ft in the direction
that the Blizzard is blowing.
• All creatures in the area are Deafened beyond 5 ft and
are Blinded beyond 5 ft.
• Terrain in the area is Difficult Terrain as heaps of snow
cover the area.
• Standing water in the area immediately freezes to a
thickness of 18 inches.
• A creature that begins its turn in the area and is not
wearing winter clothing must make an END check
against a DC of 10 + your magic attribute. If they fail
the check, they take 2d6 cold damage and gain Fatigue.
If they succeed, they take ½ damage and do not gain
Fatigue.
Snow and ice created by this invocation remain after the
duration and melt at a natural rate, but all other effects of
this invocation end after the duration.

Primal Invocation, Alchemy, Extrinsic, Weather
Prerequisites: Primal Tier 2
Casting Time: 15 minutes
Range: Sight
Materials: 1 gallon of water or 1 pound of sand
Requires: Gesture, Verbal
Duration: 1 hour
You change the atmosphere’s nonmagical composition in
a ½-mile radius around you. This change occurs gradually
over the course of 10 minutes and then is maintained for the
duration. You choose the weather’s new properties based on
whether you used water or sand.
Water: You can cause light precipitation of any kind, or
cause heavy rainfall that results in a thunderstorm but not a
tornado or hurricane. Alternatively, you can cause the area
to be foggy, overcast, or humid.
Sand: You can suppress any precipitation or reduce
thunderstorm conditions, making it impossible for a
tornado or hurricane to form when it might have otherwise.
Alternatively, you can cause the area to gain a pleasant
breeze or to lose all wind movement.
In addition to the effects you specify, you can adjust the
area’s temperature by up to 40 degrees F.
This has no effect on magical weather.

You create a small earthquake along a magical line between
you and a point within range. Each creature within 10 ft
of that line must make an END roll against a DC of 10 +
your magic attribute. On a fail, that creature falls Prone.
Additionally, make a magic attack against the FORT of each
artificial structure within 10 ft of the line, dealing 5d12
blunt damage to such structures on a hit and ½ as much on
a miss (roll damage once, applying it to each structure as
appropriate). This Invocation treats structures as having a
DT of 5 points lower than their written DT, if any.

C hapter 4 | M agic 267
 If you miss, then you are unable to cast this Invocation but
you still expend the use of one of your Invocations and still
suffer Fatigue.
Choose up to three points within range. All areas within a
10 ft radius of each of those three points immediately burst
into flame. Each of the fires operate using the following
principles. Once they touch each other, they continue to
operate in this way but only count as a single fire.
Any flammable materials that are not being worn or
carried catch fire. These fires will expand by 5 ft every 30
seconds. If there is a strong wind, then they will instead
expand by 5 ft every 10 seconds in the direction that the
wind is blowing. If the fire is burning uphill, it will move an
additional 5 ft. Although sparked by magic, the fire itself is
considered nonmagical.
The fire creates thick smoke in a radius three times as
wide as the radius of the fire. Smoke imposes the Concealed
condition on all creatures within it. Additionally, creatures
that begin their turn in Smoke must make an END check
against a DC of 10 + your magic attribute. If they fail, then
they suffer a condition; if they already had that condition,
then they gain an additional condition on top of any
previous effects:
• Shaken until outside the radius of smoke
• Sickened until outside the radius of smoke
• Fatigued
• Slowed until outside the radius of smoke
• Suffocating until outside the radius of smoke
A creature that starts their turn in the fire or moves into it
for the first time on a turn must make an END check against a
DC of 10 + your magic attribute. That creature takes 2d8 Fire
damage if they fail the check, and ½ damage if they succeed.
Fire created from this Invocation will burn until
extinguished through magical or mundane means or until it
runs out of natural fuel.

Invocations and still suffer Fatigue.
Choose a point within range. Thick, swirling clouds
materialize in a 1 mile radius from that point. Harsh winds
and sheets of rain pummel the area. All nonmagical sources
of fire that are exposed to the hurricane are immediately
extinguished. Choose whether the hurricane is rotating
268 C hapter 4 | M agic
clockwise or counterclockwise. The hurricane rotates around
its point of origin. For the duration, the following effects
apply while creatures are directly exposed to the hurricane:
All ranged attack rolls that deal physical or elemental
damage in the area automatically fail, with the exception of
lightning damage.
Creatures attempting to fly in this area must first make
a STR check against a DC of 10 + your magic attribute; if
they fail, they cannot fly in a direction of their choice. If
they were on the ground, they remain on the ground; if they
were in the air, they move 30 ft in the direction that the
Hurricane is blowing.
All creatures in the area are Deafened beyond 20 ft and
are Blinded beyond 60 ft.
Creatures are Slowed while moving in the area.
While you are in an area affected by the hurricane, you
gain the following special attack:
Lightning Strike. 3 AP, 60 ft range. Make a magic attack
targeting a creature’s FORT. On a hit, they take 2d8
lightning damage.
At the end of the duration, the hurricane continues
to rage until it would naturally fizzle out based on its
atmospheric environment, At that time, any location in the
affected area that can contain standing water does so to
its maximum capacity. Water overflows and causes severe
flooding where relevant.

Primal Invocation, Enchanting, Intrinsic, Emotion
Prerequisites: Primal Tier 3
Casting Time: 1 hour, which can be part of a Recoup
Range: 30 ft
Materials: A willing wild animal that serves as a therapy pet

Duration: Instantaneous
Upon completing the Invocation, choose a number of willing
creatures equal to or less than your Primal Tier (you can
choose yourself). Those creatures remove any Broken,
Charmed, Demoralized, Enthralled, Frightened, or Shaken
conditions that were affecting them. Affected creatures that
have the Phobic condition can ignore the effects of that
condition for the next 24 hours.
SANDSTORM
Primal Invocation, Alchemy, Extrinsic, Weather
Prerequisites: Primal Tier 2
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Sight
Materials: A handful of sand or dirt
Duration: 1 hour
At the end of the casting time, make a magic attack roll
against DC 18. Subtract 8 from the DC if you are in a desert
or similar environment that naturally has large quantities of
loose sand and/or dirt. If you hit the DC, then you cast the
Invocation. If you miss, then you still cast the Invocation,
but you also suffer Fatigue.
Choose a point within range. Massive clouds of sand
and grit fly out in a 1 mile radius from that point. Piercing
winds tear through the area. Choose which direction the
sandstorm blows for the duration. The sandstorm moves 30
ft in that direction at Initiative count 0 for the duration. For
the duration, the following effects apply while creatures are
directly exposed to the sandstorm:
• All ranged attack rolls that deal physical or elemental
damage in the area automatically fail.
• Creatures attempting to fly in this area must first make
a STR check against a DC of 10 + your magic attribute;
if they fail, they cannot fly in a direction of their choice.
If they were on the ground, they remain on the ground;
if they were in the air, they move 30 ft in the direction
that the Sandstorm is blowing.
• All creatures in the area are Deafened beyond 20 ft and
are Blinded beyond 5 ft.
• Moving in the area is considered difficult terrain.
At the end of the duration, any location in the affected
area is covered in loose sand, which is considered Difficult
Terrain until removed.
TORNADO
Primal Invocation, Alchemy, Extrinsic, Weather
Prerequisites: Primal Tier 4
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Sight
Materials: A pinch of dirt and a gallon of water
Duration: 1 hour
At the end of the casting time, make a magic attack
roll against DC 15. If you hit the DC, then you cast the
Invocation. If you miss, then you still cast the Invocation,
but you are Staggered for the duration and immediately lose
control of the Tornado.
Choose a point within range. A swirling funnel cloud
descends from the sky and touches down on that point in
a 15 ft radius. That 15 ft radius area is a tornado. The area
in a 500 ft radius from the tornado experiences tremendous
winds, causing the following effects:
• All ranged attack rolls that deal physical damage in the
area automatically fail.
• Creatures attempting to fly in this area must first make
a STR check against a DC of 10 + your magic attribute.
When making this check, a creature rolls 2d20 and
uses whichever is lower. If they fail, they cannot fly in
a direction of their choice. If they were on the ground,
they remain on the ground; if they were in the air, they
move 30 ft closer to the tornado.
• All creatures in the area are Deafened beyond 40 ft.
• Creatures moving away from the Tornado are Slowed.
On Initiative count 0, the Tornado takes a turn. If you still
have control over the Tornado, make a DC 20 magic check; if
you succeed, then you retain control over the Tornado until
the start of the Tornado’s next turn. If you retain control
over the tornado, you choose a direction and it moves 40 ft
in that direction. If you fail, then you lose control over the
tornado and cannot regain control over it. The MC randomly
determines which direction the Tornado moves.
At the end of each of the Tornado’s turns, all creatures and
objects in the Tornado are flung 30 ft out of the Tornado in
a randomly determined direction, taking 6d6 Blunt damage
and landing Prone. The Tornado ignores the DT of inanimate
objects.
At the end of this Invocation’s Duration, the Tornado
disperses unless other mundane or magical weather conditions
provide the vitriol needed for the Tornado to continue
(thunderstorms, high-speed winds, and the like might extend
the Tornado’s duration). If the Tornado’s duration extends
C hapter 4 | M agic 269
 beyond its natural duration, you immediately lose control of
it even if you maintained control of it for the entire hour.

Requirements: Visual, Gesture
Duration: Indefinite
You carefully lay the groundwork to snare an unsuspecting
foe.
Choose a 5 ft area within range. The next time a creature
steps in that area, they must make an AWR check against
a DC of 10 + your magic attribute. If they fail, then they
are Restrained and Grounded (escape DC 10 + your
magic attribute). When a creature becomes restrained in
this manner, if you are on the same plane of existence as
the trap, you become magically aware that a creature is
restrained but do not automatically know anything further
about the creature. The creature can repeat the save every
minute. Creatures with a Monster Level greater than half of
your Character Level gain +1 to their escape check every 10
minutes. Taking damage immediately ends the restraint.
When you lay such a trap, it remains indefinitely until
sprung or until you recover the trap. You cannot have more
traps active than your Primal Power; any attempt to create
an additional trap with this invocation fails.

Choose one Beast within range. Provided that the creature
is not hostile towards you, it becomes Charmed by you
and will follow you for the duration. It will not follow you
into obviously dangerous territory, nor will it fight on your
behalf. The creature can communicate rudimentary ideas to
you by using body language, growls, chirps, and the like. It
will warn you if you are headed into a dangerous area, show
you where you might find food, and offer you other basic
advice while it is in its natural habitat.
You may bond multiple animals in this way, but the SPC
doubles for each additional animal that you bond while you
already have at least one bonded animal (the 2nd bond has
SPC 6, the 3rd has SPC 12, etc).
Upcharge: By spending +3 SP on this spell, you can
magically link with the creature. For the duration of the spell,
you can close your eyes and see through the bonded animal’s
senses. You can communicate telepathically with the creature,
though it becomes no more capable of highly intelligent thought
than it was prior to the casting of this spell.

You command a body of water to obey your will.
Choose a point within range. All water within a 30ft
radius of that point responds to your commands for the
duration. This might be one large body of water or several
small ones. On each of your turns while maintaining this
spell, you can spend the appropriate amount of AP to do any
of the following actions.
Command Waves (3 AP). Cause the water in the area to
become either rough or smooth until the end of your next
turn. If rough, creatures must spend +1 ft of movement for
every 1 ft that they move, even if they have a swim speed.
Current (1 AP). The water flows in a direction of your
choice. Until your next turn, any creature that starts its
turn in the water moves 30ft in the direction of the current,
ending this movement early and taking 1d10 blunt damage
if they hit dry land or an obstacle.
Maelstrom (4 AP). You can only use this ability if the
entire area of your spell is uninterrupted water. Choose
clockwise or counterclockwise. When a creature starts its
turn in the area, it must make an END check; the DC is 10
+ your magic attribute. If they fail, they move 30ft in a
curve along the maelstrom’s path in the direction you chose.
If they strike an object as part of this movement, they take
1d10 blunt damage. If they failed their END check, they also
take 1d6 blunt damage per subsequent round that you have
used this feature (max 4d6).
Mists (2 AP). The area becomes misty, imposing
Concealed on all creatures in the area until the end of your
next turn.
Spout (2 AP). Make a magic attack against the ANT of a
creature that is in the area of water you control. On a hit,
the creature takes 1d10 blunt damage and is hurled 30ft
into the air, taking another 1d20 damage if this motion is
interrupted by an object.
Tidal Wave (10 AP). You can spend AP on this feature
over multiple rounds, as though Conjuring. You cannot
spend AP on anything else on your turn while doing so.
You can only use this ability if the entire area of your spell
is uninterrupted water. When you have spent enough AP
to trigger this effect, make a magic attack vs the FORT of
each creature in the area. On a hit, deal 3d10 damage, the
creature falls Prone, and it is Staggered until the end of its
next turn. On a miss, a creature takes ½ damage and falls
Prone but is not Staggered.

Immediately when you finish conjuring this spell, a
Medium sized vine appears within range in an unoccupied
space on the ground and attacks one creature of your choice
within 10 ft of the vine. Use your magic attack modifier for
this attack. On a hit, the creature takes 2d6 blunt damage.
On a crit, the creature also falls Prone. Alternatively, you
may choose to have the vine Grapple a creature instead of
damaging it if you hit. The vine cannot Grapple more than
one creature at a time, and while Grappling a creature it can
only attack that creature.
For the duration, you may spend 1 AP to move the vine up
to 20 ft in any direction. For the duration, you may spend
2 AP to make the vine make another attack against any
creature within 10 ft of it, dealing the same damage as your

Make a weapon attack vs the DEX of each creature in a 20 ft

the hailstorm:
• Nonmagical sources of fire are extinguished.
• Whenever a creature makes a ranged attack roll, they
must roll 2d20 and use the lower, unless it would deal

pebble the ground.

with lights, as though multicolored fireflies are within. The
fog provides dim light and imposes the Concealed condition
on any creature within it. A creature can attempt to see
through the illusory fog by spending 2 AP to make an AWR

to a mere veil for that creature. That creature ignores the

Psionic magic draws from the inherent power within one’s
very soul: their Essence. Individuals who are sensitive to this
power often manifest it at a very young age, although few
know how to spot and develop those early signs of psionic
latency.
A psion, once identified, often enters the care of a faction,
and these factions regularly compete with each other to
increase their ranks. The competition is usually friendly.
The factions of psions are referred to as “Wings” within
their own ranks. Despite differing goals, their unique nature
as hyper-empaths and telepathic abilities have resulted in an
affinity between them that outshines their connection with
non-latents.
THE CABINET
The Cabinet is a secret council of twelve formidable psions
who oversee hundreds of latents. Neutral advisors to many
kingdoms, The Cabinet’s representatives are dispersed across
Ancerra, serving as translators, diplomats, adjudicators, and
long-distance telepathic communicators. The presence of a
Cabinet representative is a symbol of status, and kingdoms,
nobles, and guilds alike pay handsomely for their services.
LIGHTS FROM BELOW
Lights from Below, colloquially known as Lebellos or Elbes,
is a smaller Wing of psions dedicated to improving Ancerra.
The Lights from Below construct bridges, dig wells, and
fight bandits and monsters, taking only enough coin to
reach their next destination. While traveling, they nurture
young latents, and their headquarters, the Hall of Heroes, is
a massive hall carved into a mountain face. It is filled with
statues and murals that depict heroes from the Light from
Below and their famous adventures.
THE FIXERS
One of the largest Wings is The Fixers, with thousands of
latents throughout Ancerra. Their primary function is to
hunt monsters and collect bounties.
PSIONIC APTITUDES
Psionic Aptitudes are unique subcategories of psionic magic.
Psionic casters typically focus on one Aptitude and greatly
increase their power within it.
Clairsentience is the psionic aptitude that allows one to
master one’s senses and perceive outside of those senses and
self.
Psychokinetics is the manipulation and mastery of
existing physical matter.
Metacreativity taps into the space between space, The
Pale, to draw and shape essence, manifesting semi-physical
objects and creatures.
Telepathy is mental communication such as traditional
telepathy, empathy, mind-reading, and manipulation of
thought and perception.
Psychometabolics is the ultimate attunement with one’s
own body, and the ability to push it past its physical limits,
and even morph and shape it.
Psychovillany is the forbidden art of charm and
compulsion.

ASTRAL PROJECTION
Psionic Invocation, Clairsentience, Divining, Meditation
Prerequisites: Psionic Tier 6
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Self
Requires: Gesture, Verbal
Duration: Up to 8 hours
You launch your consciousness beyond your body and can
freely explore the world and the cosmos in disembodied
form.
Upon completing this Invocation, you may spend 4 AP to
project your spirit out of your body, and 4 AP to return your
spirit into your physical body if you are on the same plane
of existence. While you are projecting your consciousness in
this way, you gain the following properties:
• You are Ethereal and can pass through walls and other
barriers freely.
• You are Invisible, retaining the Unseen condition.
• You have +2 to all Mental attribute checks.
• You have +2 to all Mental defenses.
• You cannot physically interact with the world.
• You have -2 to Physical defenses and to AR.
By spending 4 SP, you can send your consciousness up
to 1,000 miles instantaneously. By spending 8 SP, you can
send your consciousness into another plane of existence. Any
diseases or curses that you are suffering are suppressed for
the duration.
If you project for the full duration of the invocation and
do not get into combat while projecting, you may gain the
benefits of Taking a Rest.
You cannot communicate audibly with other creatures
while using astral projection, but can cast spells as though
you were physically in the space that your spirit occupies. You
can cast spells with Verbal requirements, even though you
cannot audibly communicate.
Your spirit can be damaged as though you are physically
present. If reduced to 0 HP while using astral projection,
your spirit becomes stranded where it was reduced to 0 HP
and your body becomes comatose. Once your body and spirit
are physically in the same place again, Lesser Restoration or
similar magic will reunite your body and spirit.
280 C hapter 4 | M agic
If, at the end of the duration, you cannot recall your spirit
to your body (due to it being on another plane of existence
or otherwise unable to return), then you are immediately
reduced to 0 HP.
BEND REALITY
Psionic Invocation, Psychokinetics, Altering, Meditation
Prerequisites: Psionic Tier 5
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Visual
Requires: Gesture, Verbal
Duration: Special
When you complete the casting of this Invocation, you may
choose any Spell from any of the five Sources of magic that
has the Alchemy, Altering, Divining, Enchanting, Illusory, or
Necromancy tag and costs 40 or fewer SP. You immediately
cast that spell, spending its SP.
Alternatively, you may impose a substantial but
reasonable change on the weather, natural terrain, or a
nonliving object or structure within range. Examples include
but are not limited to:
• Changing the day from sunny to stormy
• Making Ancerra’s moons apparently vanish (this does
not affect solar orbits; it is a powerful instance of
illusory magic)
• Causing thick mist to envelop the region
• Transmuting a wooden wall into stone
• Making a flat plain become hilly or swampy
• Turning a pile of cut lumber into a decorated carriage
• Turning a pile of cut lumber back into trees
You may suggest additional effects that this Invocation
might allow, and your MC will adjudicate if and to what
extent such effects are viable.
Bending Reality enacts a huge toll on your mind. Upon
using this Invocation, you may not cast spells with an SP cost
over 10 and you are shaken until the end of your next Rest.
You may only cast this Invocation once per day, even if you
have multiple Invocation slots available.
DREAMSPEAK
Psionic Invocation, Telepathy, Enchanting
Casting Time: 30 minutes

Duration: Up to 30 minutes
Choose a creature with whom you have interacted in the
past and with whom you have a friendly relationship.
Provided that the creature in question is also sleeping, you
may both converse for the duration. Both creatures have the
option to end this conversation at any time. This Invocation
ends early if either you or the target creature awakens.

Psionic Invocation, Metacreativity, Summoning
Casting Time: 10 minutes, which can be part of a Recoup

You create a quasi-real duplicate of yourself. This duplicate
has none of your memories or personality. The duplicate
has your statistics, but cannot hold over AP and starts its
turn with no more than 3 AP. It cannot cast spells, with the
exception of Manifestations that you can cast for 0 SP. The
duplicate’s maximum HP is equal to ¼ your maximum HP.
If you spend 24 hours meditating on this invocation,
you may summon duplicates equal to your Psionic Tier - 1
(min 1). These duplicates last until destroyed. Permanent
duplicates have 10 HP, cannot use manifestations, wield
weapons, or regain HP in any way. If you summon new
duplicates with this Invocation, your previous duplicates
dissipate.
HAUNT
Psionic Invocation, Telepathy, Enchanting, Meditation
Prerequisites: Psionic Tier 3
Casting Time: 4 hours
Range: Special
Requires: Verbal, Gesture
Duration: Instantaneous
Choose a creature with whom you are familiar and have met
before. Make a magic attack against that creature’s LOG. If
the creature is awake, the Invocation automatically fails. If
the creature is asleep, then modify your magic attack based
on your level of familiarity with the creature:
• You have met once: Roll 2d20 and use the lower
• You have met a few times: Make the roll unmodified
• You frequently interact with, or have spent at least
a week studying this person: Roll 2d20 and use the
higher
If you succeed, then you haunt the creature’s subconscious
psyche. Until the creature removes this curse using magic
akin to Greater Restoration or similar magic, it suffers the
following effects:
• It suffers the Shaken condition
• It occasionally sees illusory creatures moving in
shadows
• Each time it Takes a Rest, it gains a randomly
determined Phobia for 24 hours
You can only have this Invocation active on one creature at
a time. If you cast this Invocation on a new target, its effects
end on the previous target.
STEEL TRAP
Psionic Invocation, Clairsentience, Altering
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Touch
Requires: Gesture
Duration: 4 hours
You place psychic wards around a creature, bolstering their

You or one creature that you touch cannot be Broken,
Charmed, Demoralized, Enthralled, Frightened, or Shaken
for the duration.
T E L E PAT H I C A N C H O R
Psionic Invocation, Clairsentience, Divining
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: 30 ft
Requirements: Gesture, Visual, Line of Sight
Duration: Instantaneous
You project a sliver of your consciousness into a
concentrated point, allowing your senses to return to said
point even once you are long gone.
Choose a point within range. You may close your senses
to your physical surroundings to open your ears to the
surroundings of the point that you chose upon casting the
invocation, as though you were standing there. You can only
hear from a Telepathic Anchor; you gain no benefit of your
other senses. (Psionic talents can improve this.) When you
hear through your Telepathic Anchor, you are Blinded and
Deafened to the world around your physical body.
After initially casting the invocation, you need not remain
within its initial range; so long as you are on the same plane
of existence as your Telepathic Anchor, you can use this
ability.
The target of this invocation is a point, not an object, and
as such cannot be moved. For example, if you cast it inside
of a wagon, you would be able to see from the location the
wagon was in, not the wagon’s new location.
You may have a number of Telepathic Anchors active at
one time equal to your Psionic Tier. When you would make
a Telepathic Anchor that would exceed this limit, your oldest
Telepathic Anchor fades.

shield yourself from divining.
You and allied creatures within 20 ft of you cannot be
targeted by Divining magic from the Divine, Occult, or
Primal sources. Any attempt to do so fails and the creature
does not lose its SP. If a creature targets you or allied
creatures within the spell’s radius using Divining magic from
the Arcane or Primal sources, they must make a spellcasting
roll against your LOG. If they hit, then they are able to use
the Divining spell. If they fail, then the attempt fails and the
creature does not lose its SP. Either way, when a creature
using Arcane or Primal magic attempts this, you are aware
of the attempt and whether it was successful or not.

You manifest a blade of pure psionic energy.
You create a weapon (choose any nonmagical weapon
that does not have the Ranged tag). This weapon is
corporeal, but is made entirely of psionic power. It has all
of the properties of the weapon that you chose, but deals
psychic damage instead of its normal damage type or types.
You may spend 1 AP to dissipate your weapon and a set
amount of AP to resummon that same weapon, without
spending SP each time you do so. Resummoning a weapon
costs 0 AP if it is Concealed, 1 AP if it is Light, and 3 if it
is Unwieldy; if it has none of these Tags, it costs 2 AP to
resummon.
Resummoning a weapon allows you to throw a psionic
weapon with the Thrown property and immediately get it
back by spending that additional AP.
If you wish to change your weapon’s form, you must
spend your SP again. Any effects that dispel magic
immediately destroy the weapon, and replacing it requires
you to spend SP again.

physically working against you (such as attempting to lift a
lowering portcullis or hold back the flow of a river), you must
spend 3 AP on each of your turns to exert your will over that
object.
If you attempt to lift or manipulate an object greater than
40 lbs x your magic attribute, you must make a magic attack
against a Difficulty set by your MC.
You cannot lift an object greater than 80 lbs x your magic
attribute, even if you crit.
With Greater Telekinesis, you can exert fine control over
objects and can target specific parts of a larger object. Such
as pulling a wheel off a wagon, or forcing open a portcullis.

Upon completion of Conjuring this Spell, you create your
Mind Palace. This is a metaphysical demiplane within
your own mind. You may spend 4 AP to withdraw your
consciousness from your body into your Mind Palace, and 4
AP to return from your Mind Palace to your physical body.
While your consciousness is in the Mind Palace, you do not
age and do not need to eat or drink. Any diseases or curses
that you are suffering are suppressed while you are in your
Mind Palace. If you spend at least 8 hours in your Mind
Palace, you gain the benefits of Taking a Rest.
You cannot be targeted by Divining magic against your
will while in your Mind Palace, but may choose for Divining
spells to successfully reach you if you desire. You may cast
Divining magic from your Mind Palace as if you were on the
Plane occupied by your physical body.
While in your Mind Palace, you gain +5 to all INT
Attribute checks.
You may choose to destroy your Mind Palace at any point,
but doing so requires you to cast the spell again with the
intent of undoing it.
If you die while your mind palace is active, you may
choose for your Essence to retreat to your Mind Palace and
dwell there indefinitely.

If you do this, you appear to anyone who travels to your
Mind Palace as a spectral form of your living self. You cannot
leave the Mind Palace once you do this. If you choose not
to do this, then your Mind Palace is destroyed over the next
5d20 days as your soul fades.
Enhance: Once your Mind Palace is established, you
may cast this spell again with a range of “Touch” to allow
one additional creature access to the Mind Palace with you.
Creatures added to your Mind Palace gain all of the benefits
that this spell confers. Furthermore, you can experience all

they can experience all of your memories.

creature may choose to willingly fail this spell. You affect the
target’s memory of an event that it experienced within the
last 24 hours. The event can be no longer than 10 minutes
from start to finish. You can permanently eliminate all
memory of the event, cement the event into the creature’s
memory exactly as it happened, change its memory of
specific details of the event, or create a memory of some
entirely different event. A false memory may not necessarily
affect how a creature behaves, particularly if the memory
does not hold with the creature’s core beliefs. Very illogical
modified memories might be dismissed as a bad dream or
hallucination.
Greater Restoration and similar magic from the Divine or
Primal source can restore a creature’s original memory.

choose a secondary target within range. The primary target
becomes Phobic of the secondary target. It is not phobic
of the secondary target specifically, but of all creatures or
objects that resemble that secondary target. (For example, if

experience all sensory input from both your own body and
the possessed creature’s body.
If the creature takes Psychic damage, you take that
damage instead.

mountain down on a city
• A metacreative may summon a spectral army, or

personality.
• A psychovillain might charm an entire nation, or incite
violence on a mass scale.

around you. Whenever you or another creature start a turn
in the affected area, that creature is Staggered and Slowed.
Any creature that makes an attack in the area must roll
2d20 and use the lower roll. A creature outside the area
that targets a creature in the area rolls 2d20 and takes the
higher. Hazardous terrain in the area slows the movement of
a creature but does not harm it.
Furthermore, if you concentrate on this spell for the entire
10 minutes and are not actively in combat at any point in
the spell’s duration, then you and any creature in the area
gains the benefits of a Recoup, as it feels to you and those

the remainder of your turn, you may ignore any conditions
that are affecting you; hazardous terrain slows your
movement but does not damage you; you ignore a hostile
creature’s passive effects that would damage you; and no
creature may spend Reactive AP against you. Damaging
another creature automatically hits, and counts as a Crit,
but if you harm another creature then the spell ends
immediately, causing you to lose any excess AP.

 CHAPTER 6: EQUIPMENT
A
ny adventurer will need weapons, armor, and
equipment to go on their grand quests. This
chapter provides detailed information on weapons,
armor, gear, goods, services, and even how you might use
magic items. The MythCrafter’s Guide contains additional
information that your MC might use to adjust the economy,
as well as a list of magic items that they might present to
you.
S TA RT I N G G E A R
Each background specifies how much wealth you start with.
In addition to the equipment you gain from your profession
and background, all adventurers get the following:
1. A) 2 one-handed melee weapons, or B) 1 two-handed
or hand-and-a-half melee weapon, or C) 1 one-handed
melee weapon and a shield (buckler)
2. A) 1 shortbow and 20 arrows, or B) 1 crossbow and 20
bolts, or C) 3 javelins
3. or you can forego equipment in both 1. and 2. for an
amethyst wand
4. A) 1 quarterstaff, or B) 1 hatchet, or C) 2 daggers, or D)
2 knives, or E) 1 cestus, or F) 1 brass knuckles
5. 2 trinkets
Your profession and background may specify that you gain
additional equipment.
W EA P ONS
While some adventurers rely more heavily on their weapons
than others, virtually every hero will need some form of
weapon at their side.
M A K I N G AT TA C K S
To attack with a weapon, you have to spend a certain
amount of AP. Weapons have unique APC (Action Point
Costs) listed in the weapons tables below. Some weapons
have a set APC: a Dagger always costs 2 AP, and a Crossbow
always costs 3 AP.
Some weapons have APC formulas; these are a little more
complex. For example, a longsword has an APC of 5-STR,
min 2. This means that using a Longsword has an APC of
5, but you subtract your STR attribute from the APC, to a
minimum of 2.
When you spend AP to make an attack, roll 1d20 and
add your relevant attribute. The attribute you use for a
weapon is dependent upon that weapon and is specified in
the Attribute column on the weapons tables below. This will
usually be STR or DEX.
If your roll equals or exceeds your target’s defense
(usually AR, but some attacks will target other defenses),
then you hit your target. Roll for damage.
DE A L I N G DA M AG E
When you hit with a weapon attack, you deal damage. Roll
the amount of damage specified in the Damage column on
the weapons tables below and add the attribute specified
in the Attr. column. The creature takes that much damage,
subtracting it from their current HP.
If a weapon says that it deals “Physical” damage, that
means you can choose whether you deal blunt or sharp
damage each time you use it. Polearms often have this
property, given that you can often attack with either the
bladed end or the butt of the weapon.
More detailed rules on damage, as well as dealing extra
damage on critical hits, can be found on p. 328-29.
W EA P ON R A NGE
You can only make an attack against a creature when that
creature is within your weapon’s range. Each weapon
specifies its range on the weapons tables below.
MELEE
If a weapon has the Melee property, then you can attack
any creature within 5 ft of you. Any abilities you have that
increase your reach can enhance this.
RANGED
If a weapon has the Ranged property, you cannot use it as
a melee weapon, but you can attack creatures within your
weapon’s specified range.
REACH
If a weapon has the Reach property, then it functions as a
melee weapon, but the distance that you can attack with
that weapon is greater than 5 ft. The weapon’s base reach is
specified after the Reach tag.
THROWN
If a weapon has the Thrown property, you can use it as
a melee weapon or you can throw it up to the specified
thrown distance. Once you throw a weapon, you no longer
have it in hand.
W E A P O N TA G S
Weapons will have one or more tags that give the weapon
unique properties.
CHAPTER 6 | EQUIPMENT 303
 AMMUNITION
If a weapon has the Ammunition tag, you must have
ammunition in order to make attacks with that weapon.
Ammunition might be arrows, crossbow bolts, sling pellets,
and the like.
CONCEALED
If a weapon has the Concealed tag, then when it is sheathed
it can be tucked within folds of your clothing, inside a boot,
and the like. Concealed weapons are not readily visible to
observers, but a pat-down will reveal these weapons, and if
a creature succeeds on an AWR check against an INT check
that you make when you hide the weapon, then they can
spot it without needing to pat you down.
HAND-AND-A-HALF
Weapons with the Hand-and-a-Half tag can be wielded with
one or two hands. After the Hand-and-a-Half tag, there will
be a brief phrase in parentheses explaining what benefit
you gain from wielding the weapon with two hands, such as
dealing more damage or using fewer AP to make the attack.
LIGHT
A weapon with the Light tag does not count against your
encumbrance (see p. 319). Furthermore, light weapons can
be dual wielded, using one light weapon in each hand.
ONE-HANDED
A weapon with the One-Handed tag can only be wielded
with one hand.
SPECIAL
If a weapon has the Special tag, then its special properties
are explained in detail below the table that lists that
weapon.
TWO-HANDED
A weapon with the Two-Handed tag can only be wielded
with two hands.
U N W I E L DY
The Unwieldy tag interacts with your Encumbrance (see p.
319). It takes 1 AP to draw or sheathe an Unwieldy weapon.

Below is a list of many weapons you might want to use on your quests. All weapon costs are in silver coins (sc).

318 CHAPTER 6 | EQUIPMENT

E N C UM B R A N C E
An adventurer can carry the following gear on their person,
unless they have an ability that says otherwise. Note that
this system is intended to prioritize ease of gameplay over
realism.
One pack with personal belongings, mundane items, and
adventuring gear
• Up to two tool sets or kits
• One full set of armor
• Up to three weapons without the Light tag
• One Unwieldy item
Gear inside the adventurer’s pack, such as rope, torches,
rations, and so on are not strictly tracked for their weight. If
you have any items that exceed the limits above, you must
have a beast of burden, cart, hireling, or some other way
to transport them long distances, and you must set down
any items that are causing encumbrance before equipping a
weapon or shield.
Some creatures are capable of carrying particularly heavy
loads. For each Size step you are above Medium, you can
carry one additional Unwieldy item. You still cannot use
more than one Unwieldy item at a time in combat. If you
“count as one Size larger,” this counts towards this benefit.
If you are carrying an Unwieldy item, you cannot equip
additional weapons or armor. Wearing Unwieldy armor does
not impose this penalty, but carrying it does.
M AG I C I T E M S
In Ancerra, some items are inherently magical and require
some of the bearer’s Essence, or their life energy, to work.
By default, an adventurer has 100 Essence Points. An
adventurer cannot equip items whose sum Essence cost
exceeds this limit.
 CHAPTER 7: GAME RULES
T
his chapter has four sections, detailing the game’s
overall rules, combat, exploration, and social
interactions.
GU I DI NG PR I NC I PLE S
There are a few general principles to keep in mind as you
play the game.
S P E C I F I C B E AT S G E N E R A L
Whenever you run into rules that conflict with one another,
defer to the most specific ruling. A talent or lineage ability
should always supersede a general rule, and magical effects
that last for a finite time override passive abilities.
A LWAY S R O U N D U P
In MythCraft, you always round up in the instance of
fractional numbers.
OVERCOMIN G D C S
When making an attack or ability check, you are successful
if your roll equals or exceeds the DC (Difficulty Class). The
DC might be a number set by the MC in the event of an
ability check. In any kind of attack, the DC is the defending
creature’s relevant defense.
B A S E , C U M U L AT I V E , A N D
T R A N S FO R M AT I V E
When you see the word “base,” it means that this is the
default instance of an ability. It might be modified by other
abilities.
Whenever you see “+” or “increase”, whether it is in
reference to more damage, increased range, additional dice,
or something else, the effect is cumulative, stacking on top of
the base ability.
If something says “is” or “becomes”, then it is transformative,
overriding any previous abilities, damage, range, and the like.
RECHARGING ABILITIES
Many abilities, especially those gained through talents, can
only be used a finite number of times. You regain these
abilities after you Catch your Breath, Recoup, or Take a
Rest, as denoted by the ability. (2/Rest) means that you
can use the ability twice, regaining the ability to do so after
you Take a Rest. Similarly, (AWR/Recoup) means that you
can use the ability a number of times equal to your AWR,
regaining all expended uses when you Recoup.
320 CHAPTER 7 | GAME RULES
If you have an ability that you can use a number of times
equal to an attribute, you can always use that ability at least
once, even if your corresponding attribute is 0 or a negative
number.
SKILLS
When you attempt something that comes with a chance of
failure or a negative outcome, your MC might ask you to
make an attribute check.
AT T R I B U T E C H E C K S
Like attacks, attribute checks involve rolling 1d20 and
adding your attribute to the roll.
MCs will only ever ask for one of seven attribute Checks:
STR, DEX, END, AWR, INT, CHA, or LUCK. MCs will not ask
for COR attribute checks, given that COR functions differently
from the other 7 attributes.
STR Checks can determine whether you succeed at kicking
down a door, climbing a wall, or some other feat of strength.
DEX Checks might be needed if you run along a precipice
or try to nimbly sneak past a guard.
END Checks represent your ability to withstand extreme
weather and march or run for long stretches of time without
giving in.
AWR Checks determine how attuned you are to sensory
input. It might help you spot traps or hidden motives.
INT Checks can show how much you recall or can deduce
about learned information, as well as your capacity to quickly
encode new data.
CHA Checks represent your ability to talk their way
through social situations by charming or deceiving, and to
lead or convince the people around you.
LUCK Checks can represent the twists and turns of fate.
If you’re looking through a cupboard in an abandoned
farmstead for some food, a LUCK check might determine
whether you find any.
P L AY E R S K I L L S
Whenever a rule or ability warrants using a specific skill,
the rule will signify this mentioning the skill immediately
following the attribute, such as CHA/Persuading. A creature
without the Persuading skill can still attempt such a check,
simply rolling CHA.
While the MC will only ever ask for one of the attribute
checks described above, players have the chance to use skills,
which give them a greater chance of success under specific
circumstances.
 You will have a variety of skill points granted by your
background and your profession. Your lineage and talents
will occasionally give you skill points as well. You assign these
skill points to specific skills, such as Balancing, Deceiving, or
Distance Running.
When your MC asks you for an attribute check and one
of your skills associated with that attribute is situationally
relevant, you may add that skill bonus in addition to your
attribute.
For example, if Hanniah Sharptooth and Marcus Luxxor are
adventuring together and both need to dash after a carriage
to catch it before it leaves town, they would need to make
STR checks to sprint after it.
Assuming they are both level 1, Hanniah and Marcus both
have 2 STR. However, Hanniah has +1 in the Sprinting skill.
This means that Marcus rolls 1d20+2 (adding his STR), while
Hanniah rolls 1d20+3 (adding her STR and her Sprinting
skill).

SKILLS
Skills are related to a specific attribute and cannot be used
with mismatching attributes. Skills are also organized by
tags; if you gain an ability that lets you gain a skill with
a specific tag, check the table below to see your options.
Each skill is organized first by attribute, then by tag. Skills
are described in more detail after these tables, although
these descriptions are not comprehensive and your MC may
allow other applications of these skills if you come up with
creative ideas.

INT, Crafting
You may use this skill when trying to recall intellectual
information about the practice of alchemy, and doing so
does not require any tools.
If you have the appropriate tools, you can attempt to brew
potions.
Potion creation takes 2 hours of uninterrupted work,
which can be a part of a Rest. Healing potion creation DCs
are cumulative.
For example, if you have the materials for a Greater
Healing Elixir and roll a 15 on your Alchemy check, the
potion is half completed, and you can expend another 2
hours to roll again. Once you have reached a cumulative 30
in Alchemy checks, the potion is ready for use. If you ever
roll a 1 on your Alchemy or Medicine check, the time and
materials are wasted, and the creation is a failure.
from the Embercap mushroom. This can be foraged in
woodland areas. For each hour spent foraging, make a
DC 10 LUCK/Fortuity check. If you pass, make an AWR/
Foraging check and gain alchemy materials equal to your
Foraging roll. If you crit on either roll, you can roll your
Foraging check again and gain the value of both.
If you are obtaining raw materials from a vendor use the
“Materials Cost” column to determine the typical cost.
Healing potions are considered magical, and appear as
Primal Alchemy magic to any magical abilities that can
detect an item’s Source or Function.
Unconscious or Helpless creatures cannot be administered
potions.

C O M B AT
Combat is one of the most technical aspects of MythCraft.
Like many RPGs, combat is resolved in a series of rounds
where all creatures act in Initiative order. Each round in
combat represents 10 seconds of in-world time, and while
creatures take turns individually, you can narratively assume
that all actions in a given round happen more or less
simultaneously.
I N I T I AT I V E
Combat begins when all creatures involved roll Initiative.
Initiative determines the order in which creatures take
their turn during combat.
Initiative is an AWR check: each creature rolls 1d20 and
adds their AWR. The one with the highest roll goes first,
followed by the second-highest, and so on. After the last
creature takes its turn, the first creature takes its second turn.
Initiative order is repeated until combat is resolved.
In the event of a tie between one or more creatures, the
creature with the higher AWR goes first out of those creatures.
If one or more creatures tie and have the same AWR, roll
unmodified d20s for each tied creature; the highest roll goes
first out of those creatures, then the second highest, etc.
Remember that if you are encumbered, you must set down
all items that are causing you to be encumbered before you
can equip a weapon or a shield. Rules on encumbrance can
be found on p. 319.
ACTION POINTS
Adventurers track their capacity to perform different actions
using Action Points (AP). AP is used for most actions such
as moving, attacking, battle maneuvers, magic, and using
objects. The AP Cost (APC) of an action varies depending on
how much effort that action would take.
At the start of each turn, you gain 3 AP, and then gain
additional AP based on your COR. If you had any Reactive
AP (see below), you may add some of it to your new pool of
AP.
Coordination (COR) Bonus AP
-3 -2
-2 to -1 -1
0 to 1 0
2 to 3 +1
4 to 5 +2
6 to 7 +3
8 to 9 +4
10 to 11 +5
12 +6
You may spend your AP as you deem appropriate on your
turn.
Any AP that you do not spend during your turn becomes
Reactive AP, which you can spend during the round of combat
before the start of your next turn.
When you start your next turn, you can carry over a finite
amount of Reactive AP. You can retain no more Reactive AP
than ½ your level + 1. (I.e., a level 1 or 2 character can retain
2 Reactive AP, a level 3 or 4 character can retain 3 Reactive
AP, etc.) At the start of your turn, you add this remaining
Reactive AP to your new pool of AP.
For example, Avery Gray has 2 COR, meaning that they
gain 4 AP at the start of each of their turns (3 + the COR
bonus). If Avery uses 1 AP to move, and 2 to attack, then
they have 1 AP left, which they save as Reactive AP. Avery
doesn’t spend this Reactive AP during the round, so at the
start of their next turn, Avery gets 5 AP (3 + the COR bonus
+ leftover Reactive AP).
Note: Some features, like the Berzerker’s Blood Rage
and the Cleric’s Supportive ability, allow you additional
AP (respectively, “Rage AP” and “Support AP”) that follow
special rules. You can only ever have one source of special AP.
If you would gain more than one source of special AP, you can
choose which type of special AP you keep.
AC T I O N S
Actions cost varying amounts of AP, referred to as Action
Point Costs (APC). You can do any combination of things on
your turn, in any order you wish, provided you have enough
AP to spend, and you can spend AP on the same action
multiple times in a turn.
MOVE
All adventurers start with a base speed of 20 ft. You can
spend 1 AP to move up to your Speed. This movement ends
when you spend your next AP.
If you have a Climb, Swim, Fly, or Burrow speed, that
means that you can do those kinds of movements as well. If
you combine movements (say you run, then fly over a trench,
then keep running) - you use the largest movement number
for your total movement (instead of adding them together),
and cannot move more than your maximum speed in any
specific type of movement. For example:
• If you have Speed 20, Swim 20, and Fly 30, then for 1
AP:
• You can run 10 ft, swim 10 ft, and fly 10 ft
• You cannot swim 30 ft
If you do not have a climb speed or a swim speed, but
wish to climb a surface or swim, it costs 2ft of movement
for every 1ft that you actually move. If the surface might be
challenging to climb, then your MC might also require you to
make a STR check, and if you have the Athletics skill, you can
add that bonus to checks of this nature.
Difficult Terrain costs 2 ft of movement for every 1 ft
that you actually move. Hazardous Terrain costs as much
movement as Difficult Terrain, and will also specify an amount
of damage that you take for every 5 ft actually moved.
CHAPTER 7 | GAME RULES 327

JUMP
While moving, you may need to jump. You cannot jump
farther than you can move.
Your vertical jump distance is 3ft + a number of ft equal
to your STR.
Your horizontal jump distance is double your vertical jump
distance.
MOVING THROUGH
C R E AT U R E S
You may move through an allied creature’s space, but this
counts as difficult terrain. You may not end your turn in an
allied creature’s space.
You may not move through a hostile creature’s space unless
that creature is Paralyzed, Restrained, Unconscious, or at
least 3 Sizes larger than you. In that case, moving through a
hostile creature’s space counts as difficult terrain.
W E A P O N A T TA C K S
Each weapon specifies how many AP it takes to make an
attack with it. Some have set numbers of AP, and others
have high APCs that you can lower through training.
Examples:
• A dagger always costs 2 AP
• A longsword costs 5-STR, min 2 AP; this means that it
costs 5 AP to use a longsword, but you subtract your
STR from that number, to a minimum of 2.
• A Morningstar costs 5-STR min 3, but has the Hand-
and-a-Half tag to reduce the APC by 1 (min 2); this
means that if you are using the Morningstar with 2
hands, you can attack more efficiently
SPELLS AND MAGIC
Spells will specify how many AP you need to use them.
Spells also require you to expend SP; if you are out of SP,
you cannot cast a spell.
Cantrips, chants, and prayers specify how many AP you
need to use them; they do not cost any SP, so they can be done
as many times as you wish.
Rituals and invocations take a significantly longer time to
cast; each ritual or invocation will specify how long it takes
to cast it.
CRITICAL HITS
Sometimes, fate turns decisively in your favor or sways
brutally against you. When you roll d20 and the number is a
20 before adding any modifiers, this is considered a critical
hit (or a crit). Conversely, if you roll a 1 before adding any
modifiers, this is a critical fail.
When you make an attribute check, if you critically
fail, then the worst possible outcome of the scene befalls
you. This might range in severity from being publicly
embarrassed by a rival socialite to missing a foothold on a
328 CHAPTER 7 | GAME RULES
sheer cliff and plummeting to your death.
If you crit on an attribute check, then you achieve the best
outcome that it was feasible for you to achieve. A crit does
not defy reality. If you crit on a STR check with the Athletics
skill, for example, then you still cannot lift an entire castle,
but you might lift more than you have ever managed before.
When making an attack, you automatically miss on a
critical fail, even if you would have a high enough bonus
to hit normally. Likewise, you automatically hit on a crit,
regardless of the target’s defenses.
Additionally, if you crit with a weapon (including
unarmed and natural weapons), you deal critical damage.
When dealing critical damage, maximize the amount
of damage that you would normally do (including any
modifiers), and then roll your damage dice a second time.
Furthermore, you add your LUCK score to your damage total
when you deal critical damage.
Various abilities might let you expand your crit range.
This means that you crit on a lower d20 roll, allowing you
to crit more frequently. If you would normally crit on a roll
of 20, and you have an ability that increases your crit range
by 1, then you crit on a roll of 19-20.
No matter how many abilities you have that let you
increase your crit range, your crit range can never be larger
than 16-20.
MASSIVE DAMAGE
Sometimes, brutal amounts of damage can devastate you in
a single strike. If you take enough damage that you would
reach negative HP equal to your maximum HP, you gain 4
Death Points.
R A N G E D A T TA C K S I N
MELEE
If you make a ranged attack or thrown attack with a
weapon, spell, or any other effect and a hostile creature
is within 5 ft of you, you suffer 1 TD (see p. 331) for each
hostile creature within 5 ft of you.
MANEUVERS
Maneuvers are actions that you might take in combat to
gain an edge in certain circumstances. Any creature can use
any basic maneuver.
Dodge (2 AP). Gain +2 to your AR and Physical defenses
until the start of your next turn.
Drop Prone (0 AP). Gain the Prone condition (see p. 345).
Grapple (2 AP). You may attempt to Grapple a creature.
Make a STR or DEX attack roll against the target creature’s
REF or FORT (their choice). If you hit, they are Grappled (see
p. 345).
Hide (1 AP). When you are Concealed, you may attempt
to hide, rolling DEX/Sneaking against the AWR/Perceiving of
creatures within 30 ft of you. On a success, you are Unseen
(see p. 346).
 Shove (2 AP). Make an attack against a creature, using
your STR and targeting their FORT. If you hit, push the
creature 5 ft in a direction of your choice. You cannot do this
to a creature that is more than one Size larger than you.
Stand (1 AP). Stand from being Prone. You cannot do this
if your speed is 0.
Trip (2 AP). Make an attack against a creature, using your
STR and targeting their REF. If you hit, the creature falls
Prone.
A D VA N C E D
MANEUVERS
Some creatures have the ability to use advanced maneuvers.
You might gain this ability by taking talents or lineage
abilities. If an ability does not specifically give you access to
an advanced maneuver, then you cannot use that maneuver.
Disarm (3 AP). Make a STR attack against a creature’s REF
or FORT (they choose). If you hit, choose an item that the
creature is holding; they drop that item.
Exploit (X AP). When a creature within your melee
weapon’s reach does one of the following actions, you may
spend AP to make an attack against that creature immediately.
The amount of AP that you must spend equals the normal AP
you would spend to make an attack with that weapon on
your turn.
You can Exploit when a creature:
• Moves out of your melee weapon’s reach
• Administers a potion (drinking it themselves or feeding
it to another creature)
• Makes a ranged attack while within your melee
weapon’s reach
FLANKING
The Flanking condition is achieved when two friendly
targets threaten a border or corner opposite of one another.
If a creature is larger than one square, or has a Reach of
more than 5 ft, it counts as the Flanking condition if it
threatens a space on the opposite border or corner from an
enemy creature.
You are only considered to threaten a square if you are able
to melee attack that square. A Prone creature can flank, for
example, but an Unconscious one cannot.
COVER
By hiding behind a barrier of some sort, you might gain
cover. This will enhance your AR and physical defenses, or
might make it impossible to target you altogether.
Cover is a physical barrier that can block attacks, while
something that obscures you but does not physically block
you from a source of danger might give you the Concealed
condition (see p. 344). When you have total cover, you are
also Concealed.
MISC ACTIONS
It is up to the MC to adjudicate how many AP it costs
to perform actions not specifically covered in the rules.
Generally, interacting with a simple object (opening a
latched, unlocked door) costs 1 AP, and interacting with a
complex object (using a key to open a latched and locked
door) costs 2 or 3 AP. Interacting with a very simple object
(opening an unlatched, unlocked door) might cost 0 AP.
DA M AG E
When you hit with an attack, you often deal damage.
DEALING DAMAGE
When you hit with a weapon attack, magic attack, and the
like, you often deal damage. Roll the amount of damage
specified by your weapon, spell, etc.; the creature that you
hit loses that many HP, subtracting it from their Current HP.
Weapons are unique in that they add one of your attributes
to the amount of damage dealt. The attribute is specified by
each weapon type (see p. 303). Your attack will also deal a
specific type of damage.
DAMAGE TYPES
There are 11 types of damage, divided across three
categories:
Physical Damage: Blunt, Sharp
Elemental Damage: Cold, Corrosive, Fire, Lightning, Toxic
Energy Damage: Necrotic, Psychic, Radiant, Sonic
SHIELD HP
Shield HP is a special type of HP that temporarily bolsters
a creature. When you take damage, subtract that damage
from your Shield HP first, then from your actual HP. You
cannot benefit from multiple sources of Shield HP at once;
if you would receive multiple sources of Shield HP, you can
take whichever would give you more Shield HP.
RESIST
Some creatures have the ability to avoid or reduce specific
types of damage.
A creature with Resist X gains the specified number as a
bonus to their defenses against any attack roll that would
deal that type of damage.
If an attack deals multiple types of damage, and the
defending creature has Resist against one of those damage
types, check if the attack would hit without the Resist bonus.
If it would, check if the attack would hit with the Resist bonus.
If the attack would still hit, then the defending creature
takes all of the damage. But if the attack would miss if Resist
applies, then the defending creature only takes the damage
that they do not resist.
CHAPTER 7 | GAME RULES 329
 If an attack would deal half damage on a miss, but the
defending creature has Resist against that type of damage,
then that creature takes no damage from the missed attack.
VULNERABLE
A creature with Vulnerable X subtracts the specified number
from their defenses against any attack roll that would deal
that type of damage. Furthermore, when a creature attacks a
Vulnerable creature with that type of damage, the attacking
creature’s crit range is increased by the Vulnerable number.
For example, if a Skeleton is Vulnerable Blunt 2, then when
Marcus attacks with his morningstar and deals blunt damage,
he would crit on a roll of 18-20, instead of just 20.
IMMUNE
If a creature is Immune to a damage type, they can never
take damage of that type.
DAMAGE REDUCTION
If a creature has Damage Reduction (DR) X, they subtract
their DR number from all damage they take, unless they are
Vulnerable to the type of damage that they are taking.
If damage specifies that it ignores Resist, it also ignores DR.
If a creature has DR, they subtract the number of their DR
from all Damage they take from all sources, unless they are
Vulnerable to the type of damage they are taking. The DR
number may be followed by a weapon tag, magic source, or
damage type. This means that creature takes full damage
from a weapon with that tag or damage type. For example,
a creature with DR 5/Fire would take full damage from fire,
and subtract 5 from all other sources of damage. A creature
with DR 15/Silvered would take full damage from silvered
weapons, and subtract 15 from all other damage.
DAMAGE THRESHOLD
Damage Threshold (DT) is a very rare defense that is
typically seen on structures and vehicles. DT determines
how much damage a creature must deal at once to deal any
damage at all. For example, if a stone wall has DT 15, and
a player deals 14 damage to it, it instead takes 0. If a player
deals 16 damage, conversely, then the stone wall takes all 16
damage because its DT 15 was overcome. For the purposes
of overcoming DT, “damage dealt at once” is determined by
a single expenditure of AP. Each expenditure of AP for an
attack is a new roll against DT; you cannot stack attacks to
overcome DT.
For example: A spell deals multiple damage sources, such
as 2d8 fire damage and 2d8 blunt damage. Since that spell is
one expenditure of AP, add them together to determine if it
overcomes DT.
A player makes two maul attacks against a stone wall on
the same turn. Because these are two expenditures of AP,
do not add the damage together from the two attacks to
determine if they overcome DT.
330 CHAPTER 7 | GAME RULES
DYING
When you are reduced to 0 HP, you begin dying. If you end
your turn with 0 HP, you gain 1 Death Point.
If you would take damage and have 0 HP, you gain 2 Death
Points.
Once you have 8 Death Points, you die.
While Catching your Breath, you do not gain Death Points,
even if you end your turn with 0 HP.
Each time you Recoup, remove 1 Death Point.
Each time you Rest, remove all Death Points.
KNOCKING
UNCONSCIOUS
A creature that deals blunt damage can choose to deal
nonlethal damage.
When a creature reduces you to 0 HP with nonlethal
damage, you regain 1 HP and become Dazed. If you were
already Dazed, you regain 1 HP and become Stunned. If you
were already Stunned, you regain 1 HP and fall Unconscious.
When Dazed or Stunned in this way, you remove the
condition when you are no longer Bloodied or when you have
15 or more HP (whichever is lower), or when you Catch your
Breath.
If you want to knock an NPC unconscious, then use this
system if the alternative would be the NPC gaining death points
(some major villains may have this feature, at the discretion
of the MC). If the NPC is assumed to die immediately, you can
immediately knock it unconscious instead.
COMBINING MAGICAL
EFFECTS
Spells and magical effects of exactly the same name cannot
stack on a target. The newer effect always replaces the older
effect.
M O U N T E D C O M B AT
You can use these rules when riding a mount in combat.
DEFINING A MOUNT
A mount is a willing creature. Riding an unwilling creature
would be considered Grappling instead of mounting.
A mount must be at least one Size larger than you.
A mount must have approximately the appropriate anatomy
for riding. If uncertain, consult with your MC.
MOUNTING
Mounting and dismounting both require 1 AP.
FORCED DISMOUNTING
If an effect moves your mount against its will while you are
on it, you move with it.
 If an effect moves you against your will, you are dismounted,
and fall prone at the end of the movement, unless that effect
moved your mount the same distance and direction as well. If
you fall prone in this way, take 1d6 falling damage.
If you or your mount are knocked prone while mounted,
you must make a DEX/Balancing check to stay mounted. The
check’s DC is determined by your MC, and a table is provided
below to help the MC make this calculation. If you succeed,
you remain on your mount; if you fail, you dismount and fall
prone, taking 1d6 falling damage.
RIDING DC
Start the DC at 15 (as remaining on a mount while prone
is challenging), and modify based on these situational data
points.
Situation DC Mod
Effect knocking you prone is a +X equal to ½ the spell’s
spell SPC
Creature knocking you prone is +3 per 1 size larger than
larger than you you
You are Focused and/or Rallied -5
You are Frightened, Shaken, or +2 per condition
Demoralized
You are Dazed, Staggered, or +3, 6, or 9
Stunned
M O U N T E D C O M B AT
ACTIONS
If your mount is under your control, you gain your mount’s
Mounted Combat Action Points (MCAP). You lose any
excess MCAP at the end of each of your turns and can only
use MCAP for movement and for the dodge maneuver
(benefitting the Mount), or an action that specifically states
it uses MCAP on the Mount’s creature sheet.
If the mount is intelligent (with an INT of 0 or higher), it
uses its own initiative and acts on its own turn.
FLANKING
For the purposes of flanking, a mounted creature and its
rider are considered to be one creature. If the mounted
creature is considered flanked, then the rider is as well.
REACH WHILE
MOUNTED
The rider of a mount is located at the center of the creature
they are mounted on. If the mount is only one size larger
than the rider, then the rider can make melee attacks against
any creature within 5 ft of the mount.
If the rider is 2 or more Sizes smaller than the mount, then
it might need a weapon with the Reach property in order to
make melee attacks against other creatures, depending upon
how large the mount is.
For example, if a Knight (Medium) rides on a Trench
Abomination (Huge), it needs a weapon with a reach of at
least 10 ft to be able to attack any creature adjacent to the
Trench Abomination, given that the Trench Abomination
takes up 3x3 squares and its rider is considered to be in the
center square.
Conversely, if a Parsor (Tiny) rides on a Wolf (Medium),
the wolf only takes up 1 square, and therefore the Parsor is
still able to make melee attacks against any square adjacent
to the wolf.
R E A C T I V E A T TA C K S
Only the mount can trigger reactive actions (such as attacks
of opportunity) from movement.
TA C T I C A L
A D VA N TA G E A N D
D I S A D VA N TA G E
Tactical Advantage (TA) and Tactical Disadvantage (TD)
are situational bonuses and penalties that can accrue in
combat. TA is a +1 bonus, and TD is a -1 penalty. TA and TD
can accrue indefinitely. When you make a weapon attack,
add all your sources of TA and TD together and add the
sum to your roll. When you make any other kind of attack
(magic, maneuver, etc.), you only add your TD to the roll.
(There are talents you can take to gain TA with magic and
maneuver attacks.) You might have several sources of TA
and TD at once, so be sure to account for all sources!
You gain TA through clever implementation of Conditions,
such as attacking a Prone target. Your MC might also grant
you TA for narrative reasons, such as having the high ground
while dueling your corrupted apprentice.
C ON DI T IONS
Conditions are effects that might be imposed during combat
that work in your favor or against you. Some conditions
are purely beneficial for you (such as Focused or Rallied),
while others are solely detrimental to you (like Dazed
or Frightened). Others can work for you or against you
depending on how you utilize them (if you are Prone, you’re
harder to hit with ranged attacks but easier to hit with
melee attacks). A complete list of conditions can be found in
Appendix B (p. 344).
C R E AT U R E S I Z E S
Heroic adventurers come in all shapes and sizes. A creature’s
Size might modify its STR and DEX attribute checks (only
Attribute checks, not attacks), as well as how many spaces it
takes up on a battle map. Below is a table of creature sizes.

In order to recover from the rigors of combat and
exploration, you will need to rest. There are three levels of
recuperating in MythCraft, each explained below.
C AT C H YO U R B R E AT H
When you Catch your Breath, you take 5 minutes of no or
very light physical activity.
If you are at 0 HP when you begin Catch your Breath, you
do not gain Death Points during that time, and you regain 1
HP at the end of the 5 minutes.
RECOUP
When you Recoup, you spend 1 hour of no or very light
physical activity.
If you are Bloodied (see p. 344) when you Recoup, then
you regain up to ¼ of your maximum HP. However, when you
regain HP in this way, you do not regain HP that would cause
you to remove the Bloodied Condition.
For example, at level 2, Marcus and Avery both have 16 HP,
meaning that they are Bloodied if they have 8 or fewer HP.
When they Recoup, they would each regain 4 HP. Marcus has
3 HP, and Avery has 6. When they Recoup, Marcus regains
regains 2 HP instead of 4, bringing them up to 8 total HP,
because they cannot remove the Bloodied condition as a
result of Recouping.
Recouping assumes that you have time to Catch your
Breath, allowing you to regain any abilities that would
necessitate Catching your Breath.
TA K E A R E S T
When you Take a Rest, spend 8 hours of no or very light
physical activity. At least 6 hours of this time must be spent
sleeping.
You regain all of your HP after you Take a Rest, and remove
all of your Death Points. If you have Fatigue, you remove the
Fatigue condition instead of removing your Death Points.
Taking a Rest assumes that you both Catch your Breath and
Recoup, gaining those benefits as well when you Take a Rest.

Normal 2 A steady pace of travel, balancing speed and endurance.
Forced March 3 Pushing beyond normal limits to cover more ground quickly.

Cautious 1.5 Moving slowly and carefully, prioritizing stealth and safety.
Encumbered 1 Traveling while carrying a heavy load or burden without a wagon or beasts of burden.

Forced March: Make a DC 6 END Check, adding Forced
March if you have it. The check increases by 2 for each extra
hour of travel. If you fail the check, gain Fatigue.
Cautious Travel: Gain a +2 Bonus on all AWR checks.
Encumbered: If you have more Unwieldy items than can
be carried per character, and no wagon or pack animal, you
travel more slowly.
Weather conditions will also affect your travel pace and
your visibility. Weather conditions can be found in the

You can go a number of days without food equal to your
END before gaining Fatigue (see p. 344) for not eating. If you
do not find food on the final day, you gain Fatigue. You can
go 2 days without water; on the third day, if you do not find
potable water you gain Fatigue at the end of the day.
E N C UM B R A N C E
Remember to observe the rules of encumbrance while
traveling. It is wise to think ahead about how you might
transport any treasure you find on your quests.
Rules on encumbrance are in the Equipment chapter on

G O ODW I L L
In addition to fighting monsters and exploring wondrous
locales, adventurers will need to maintain and cultivate
their reputation in the various towns and cities that they
frequent.
Goodwill is a mechanic that tracks a community’s sentiment
towards an individual. Any action a party or player takes may
generate positive or negative Goodwill. Professions have a
particularly strong effect on Goodwill.
Goodwill is tracked across several spheres of the community,
roughly correlated to occupations: Academic, Aristocratic,
Layfolk, Mercantile, Militant, Religious, Underworld. Certain
Professions are written with this in mind and specify which
spheres of the community you gain Goodwill in.
If your MC wants to streamline this process, they can simply
track Goodwill per town or city, instead of tracking Goodwill
for individual community spheres in each urban area. If they
do this, then any feature that gives you +1 Goodwill in a
particular sphere gives you +1 Goodwill overall.
Goodwill is tracked privately by your MC and can range
anywhere on a scale from -20 to +20.
Goodwill Effect
-20 to -15 Villain. You are hated and feared by your
community. Community resources will be
levied towards your arrest and destruction.
-14 to -10 Hated. The community is hostile to your
presence and will refuse your trade and
lodging. Angry mobs might attempt to exile
you.
-9 to -4 Disliked. Goods and services often cost
more for you and merchants are unlikely to
haggle.
-3 to 3 Neutral. You are unknown to the
community overall.
4 to 9 Liked. Citizens usually go out of their way
to accommodate you and give you good
deals.
10 to 14 Beloved. Citizens rejoice to see you and
you can always find friends and allies in
town.
15 to 20 Hero. You are idolized by your community
and can get virtually any good or service
for free. Local authorities will overlook
minor crimes that you commit and will help
you when they reasonably can.

 APPENDIX A: DEITIES
T
his appendix provides lists of known deities in
Ancerra. These tables contain a deity’s basic
disposition on the cosmos, iconography that their
worshipers might use, and the divine icons to which they
give you access if you are a cleric who worships that deity.
M A J O R PA N T H E O N S
Most of the following pantheons are generally known
throughout Ancerra, but some (like the Cyoth) are cryptic
and almost entirely unheard of by layperson and scholar
alike.
A R C H FA E
While still considered deities, the archfae are notably less
powerful than most other deities. The archfae can further be
categorized into six Conclaves. These Conclaves all reside in
the Everwilds, and an individual archfae might be a member
of multiple Conclaves (though this is uncommon). The
Conclaves are as follows:
Ashyidir. The fae from the Ashyidir Conclave are
prime elemental forces incarnate. They often fight amongst
themselves, but do not have any true long-lasting animosity
as they recognize that they all need each other and offer
something wholly unique to the magibiosphere. Given their
understanding of the necessity of all elements, the Ashyidir
Conclave is generally lawful and order-oriented.
Leitspina. Incarnations of the six humanoid senses:
sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing, and instinct. The Leitspina
Conclave tends towards chaos, often creating whimsical
alliances with the Stravon just to cause trouble.
Pashak. Archfae from the Pashak Conclave are exemplars
of the plant kingdom. The Pashak Conclave is fiercely pacifistic
and tries to maintain cordiality between all other Courts.
Shibmar. Archfae from the Shibmar Conclave are
exemplars of the animal kingdom. While the Shibmar
Conclave tends towards maintaining law, they are also
usually more aggressive than the Ashyidir.
Stravon. Incarnations of the various primal emotions
and combinations thereof. The Wusvarin Court generally
acts in chaotic and short-sighted fashion, causing endless
frustration for the other courts.
Vertumna. Incarnations of the four seasons, their
symbolic representations. The Vertumna Conclave is generally
unconcerned with day to day affairs but applies pressure
to the cosmic scales when any one deific faction grows too
powerful or threatening. They don’t believe in Good or Evil,
but just try to keep all planar and deific entities roughly equal
in scope of power.
334 APPENDIX A | DEITIES
AVA D R I
The avadri are a race of technological gods, wielding vast
cosmic powers through the use of machines and programs
that use reality as the hardware and thoughts as software.
They often create monuments and supercomputers out
of basic materials such as stone to exercise their creative
capabilities. They are generally forgotten gods, known (and
feared) by the other planar entities but lost to the mainstream
historical accounts of many mortals. As such, it is uncommon
for humanoid religions on Ancerra to venerate the avadri,
though some cults dedicate themselves to them and some
religious teachings mention them in apocryphal texts. An
avadri might be a Paragon or a Corrupted; these are the two
factions of avadri that clashed before the creation of Ancerra
in a cosmic war that nearly destroyed reality.
AVATA R S
Avatars are a small group of fundamental entities that might
also be categorized in any of the other major pantheons. They
perpetuate a recurring cycle that can lead to the creation or
destruction of entire worlds. The most powerful archfae, the
leaders of the celestials, and the strongest fiend lords could
be considered avatars. There are also a handful of avatars
more powerful than all other pantheons. These avatars follow
the model of the six creators, rarely involving themselves in
direct happenings in the cosmos, instead guiding the other
pantheons with a light touch.
C ELE S T I A L S
Celestials are disciplined and structured. They understand
the importance of divine law, and typically believe that
upholding the cosmic order is their purpose. The Council of
Celestials passes dictates that affect every major actor in the
planes of existence, and the Celestials expect to be obeyed
by other planar entities. In general, celestials are perceived
as the arbiters of peace and justice, but the truth is more
complicated. Some celestials exploit the cosmic legislative
system in order to lord power over their colleagues.
E L DR I TC H
Horrible, twisted creatures from beyond the known planes,
in the obscuring mists of the Pale. Eldritch beings appeal to
cultists due to their strange powers and the fear that they
inspire.
EX I LE S
Exiles are former celestials. After the Celestial Civil War,
the exiles were banished to Inferno, where they quickly
became major warlords and power brokers in the hellscape.
While the exiles are denounced in mainstream religions,
some religious offshoots believe that the exiles were treated
unfairly and need to be venerated.
F I EN D L OR DS
Before the exiles arrived in Inferno, the fiend lords ran the
plane. Beings of brutality and chaos, they wage ongoing
war with the exiles. Fiend lords typically have secretive and
twisted cult followings.
C YO T H
Beings of absolute and uncaring law, they seek to preserve
the existence of spacetime over the existence of life. In
certain instances this has led to them carrying out mass
exterminations when necessary, and creating entire races
when needed. They are even more cryptic and unknowable
than the ancient avadri, and virtually no mortal has ever
heard of them.

SUPPRESSED
You cannot use your AP to move.
SURPRISED
(COMPLETE)
Complete Surprise only occurs when a creature attacks an
enemy under all of the following conditions:
• The target does not perceive the attacker and is
unaware of their presence.
• The target is not in a heightened state of awareness
or on alert. For example, an alarm being raised, or
being actively in combat, even if it’s with a third party,
disallows a full surprise round.
In this instance, the creature who begins combat is granted
double their AP and takes a single turn.
If the defender survives this attack, that creature and
its allies are Partially Surprised and combat begins. If the
creature that is attacked is reduced to 0 HP or knocked
unconscious and the attacking creature is Unseen, the victim’s
allies that are within 30 ft make an AWR/Perceiving check
against the attacker’s DEX/Sneaking. If the attacker wins all
skill contests, it remains Unseen and combat does not begin.
Otherwise, roll Initiative and Partial Surprise rules apply to
all Surprised creatures.
346
S U R P R I S E D ( PA R T I A L )
If creatures are surprised, they don’t act on the first round
of initiative and have TD on the second round. They cannot
use reactive actions until after their first turn in which they
can take action, and do not carry over AP until after their
first turn in which they can take action.
Creatures that are not surprised have TA on the first two
rounds of combat against creatures that were surprised.
TA U N T E D
You have TA attacking the creature that Taunted you, and
have TD attacking other creatures.
UNCONSCIOUS
The creature must roll three dice and take the lowest result
to perceive checks that rely on sound. They automatically
fail checks that rely on vision. A creature can be shaken
awake by another creature who expends 1AP as long as they
have at least 1 HP. Taking any damage automatically ends
this effect. An Unconscious creature is Helpless.
UNSEEN
An unseen creature gains TA, and when it makes an attack,
it rolls two d20’s and takes the higher result. It cannot be
targeted by Line of Sight effects. Unseen creatures are also
considered Concealed.
Unless the source of the Unseen condition states otherwise,
you lose the Unseen condition when:
• You make an attack roll
• You are struck by an attack
• A creature would occupy the space that you are in as
part of their movement
• You move into clear line of sight of a creature, such as
into bright light, out of concealment, or the like
When trying to spot an Unseen creature, you can spend 1
AP (NPCs can trade one action) once on your turn to attack
an Unseen target’s ANT with your AWR. If you win, you know
what square it is occupying, but it remains Unseen. If it is
more than 60t away from you, you automatically lose.
If you are the target of a ranged attack or effect, you know
which direction the attack came from. If you are the target of
a Melee attack, you know which square you were attacked
from.
When attacking an Unseen creature, indicate which square
you are attacking, roll 2d20, and take the lower result. You
know if the attack hits, but gain no information from missing.
