Discover the difference↓Designed around what players imagine
The rules meet you
inside the story.
Players describe their intentions in the world—not merely the mechanic they want to trigger. The system gives those choices weight and lets every roll move the fiction forward.
Tactical momentum
Knock enemies down, drive them back, disarm them, or create an opening. The best move may be the one that makes an ally’s next attack devastating.
Meaningful danger
Health rests primarily on Constitution, so weapons, falls, and being surrounded remain dangerous. Heroes grow more capable—not merely harder to kill.
Characters without rails
Every Class offers three distinct Paths you can follow deeply or blend freely, then expand through Skills, Disciplines, equipment, background, and Affections.
Affections
“Your loyalties, convictions, ambitions, loves, and fears can influence play. What matters to your character can matter to the dice.”
Your hero is more than a collection of numbers. The inner life of the character becomes part of the game.
Every roll changes the fight
Don't just damage them.
Defeat them.
Combat is not a race to empty a mountain of hit points. Opposed rolls mean enemies fight back, while maneuvers let you attack the circumstances of the battle itself.
Major, Standard, and Minor actions give every turn texture, while Reactions let heroes answer the battle as it unfolds. Dodge. Block. Parry. Position and circumstance matter.

Become extraordinary
Your Class is a beginning.
Not a boundary.
Classes have a strong identity without becoming cages. Follow one Path to its ultimate expression, blend two into something unexpected, or draw from all three to build a hero unlike anyone else at the table.
Immeasurable Strength
A Barbarian so powerful that ordinary contests of strength cease to be contests.
Perfect Defense
A Fighter capable of turning aside attacks that would devastate lesser warriors.
The Superstar
A Bard whose presence can inspire genuine Affections in individuals—or entire crowds.
The Totemist
A hero who embraces the Mind, Form, and Essence of the living world.

Your adventure is waiting
somewhere in the Realms.
Sail pirate-haunted waters. Descend into an ancient dwarven realm. Hunt a desert wyrm. Uncover a conspiracy in a city of airships and impossible machines.
Magic is not the only way to accomplish the impossible. Robust magical Disciplines stand beside equally deep Technological Disciplines—from ingenious mechanisms and chemistry to firearms and electromagnetism.
