ULTRA
ACCELERATED
INTRODUCTION
Ultra Accelerated (UA) is a hack for Fate Accelerated
(FAE), meant to have similar mechanics but written
entirely in one page.
To play UA you’re going to need 2 to 5 players, one to
be the Game Master (GM) and the others to play the
roles of the Playable Characters (PC). You’re also gonna
need four special six-sided dice called Fate Dice or
Fudge Dice (dF) with two faces marked with a “+” (+1),
two faces marked with “-”(-1) and two blank faces (+0).
ASPECTS
These are the words or phrases that describe things,
actions and characters, Characters’ Aspects more
specifically are the ones that are always going to be
around to be used, regardless of the scene.
FATE POINTS
Every aspect in the game can be Invoked at the cost of
1 Fate Point, when this happens you may choose one:
● Reroll the dice for an action.
● Add +2 to a roll (before rolling).
● Create a new aspect for the scene.
PCs all start with 3 Fate Points, these points are not
easily replenished once used, they can only be acquired
by Compels. The amount of Fate Points you finished
with in one session is always the same for when you
start the next one.

CHARACTER ASPECTS
Characters’ Aspects are divided in three kinds: High
Aspect, Trouble and Extra Aspects.
Your character only has one High Aspect and this is the
main definition of your character, the sentence or word
that best describes them, Trouble is something
problematic about your character, like a trauma, bad
reputation, etc. Finally the Extra Aspects are additional
information that you’d like to clarify about your character,
you also start with one of these.
ADVANCEMENT
UA is not really the best game to use for campaigns, you
can try Fate Core or even FAE for that, but if you do insist
on using it, a good option would be adding Extra Aspects
to your character as the story progresses accordingly.
ACTIONS
Every time you perform any kind of action you always roll
four dF’s and sum the dice results plus any kind of bonus
you may have, I’m gonna call this result a Roll. Actions can
be classified in either Overcome or Create Advantage.
- Overcome is the usual type of actions where you
need to overcome a present task. When you do so,
your Roll must be equal to or greater than the
difficulty number assigned by the GM.
- Create Advantage is more related to the future,
when you want to perform a task to help you later
in game, when you choose to create an advantage
and your Roll number is equal to or greater than
the difficulty assigned by the GM, your character
creates a Situational Aspect that can be invoked
for free ( no Fate Points) once.
DIFFICULTIES
When the GM assigns difficulties they should have the
following parameters in mind: -1 or greater is Easy, 0 or
greater is Moderate, 1 or greater is Hard and 2 or greater
is Much Harder.
Also note that these difficulties should come differently to
each PC depending on their Aspects, for example climbing
a wall is an Easy task for an “Olympic Athlete” but a Hard
one for a normal person.
COMPELS
Aspects (specially Trouble and Consequences) can also
be invoked by anyone ( mostly by the GM) in a negative
way, these are called Compels, when this happens, the
compelled player must:
●
●
●
Roleplay a problematic situation.
Receive -2 to a roll (before rolling).
Be forced to act in a problematic way.
The compelled player immediately receives +1 Fate
Point for accepting the Compel, or they may pay one of
their own Fate Points to refuse the Compel.
CONFLICTS
Engaging in conflicts in UA is supposed to be mostly a
roleplaying factor. Every time you directly engage in
combat with an enemy you describe your attack and roll
for it, if the Roll is between:
● 2 or +: You hit and avoid being hit.
● 0 or 1: You hit and get hit.
● -1 or lesser: You miss and get hit.
When your enemy manages to hit you, you must take
note of this damage by either marking a Stress Box or
filling a Consequence Box. Stress boxes don’t do
anything in particular and are erased once the conflict
is over, Consequences in the other hand are phrases
that describe how your character got hurt and they are
only erased once your character receives proper
medical treatment. Every character has 2 Stress Boxes
and 2 Consequence Box.
Enemies also have Aspects which is what describes
them, these may be used by the GM to compel the PCs
during their attacks and movement, like being
outnumbered or the enemy being well geared. Usually
these enemies only need one hit to faint but they can
have more endurance if the GM sees fit.
