NO MORE ENDLESS WAITING

FAST ATTACKS

You are heroes! Attacks. Just. Hit. Don't waste your time rolling to see if you can deal damage! Just roll your damage dice, you deal that much damage.

Attacks miss on a 1, but rolling the maximum is an EXPLODING critical hit!

Exploding Critical Hits. Roll the die again and add it to the total. There is no limit to how many times this damage can stack, except you luck!

MORE PLAYER AGENCY

DEEP YET FOCUSED

More FOCUSED and streamlined character sheet. Your character sheet doesn't have to look as complicated as a tax form to have a deep, tactical game! "Trap" options, or needless clutter dilutes your choices, slows the game, scares new players away, and can make it harder to find the information you need.

  • Flexible action economy. 
  • Strategic Weapon System.
  • Flexible skill system.
  • Overhauled spells & magic system.

INTERESTING HEROIC CHOICES

TACTICAL

Actively engage in combat! Forget being a passive observer at the mercy of the dice, heroes get a say over when they take damage with the new reaction: Defend! Encourage teamwork & tactical positioning with the new reaction: Interpose!

Defend. Give up an action on your next turn to reduce the damage from an incoming attack.

Interpose. Protect your allies, by placing yourself between them and danger when they are attacked.

RESPECT THE STORY

INSTANT INITIATIVE

Get RIGHT into combat. Improved Initiative rules that get players immediately into combat in a way that serves the story without breaking up the flow.

Keep Role Playing and the story flowing through combat with the new Assess action. Uncover enemy plans, spot hidden weaknesses, gather information to claim the tactical edge over your foes!

Resting rules that respect the story. Overhauled Rests to support the characters’ engagement with NPCs and the story. No more unfun resting rules that warp combat encounters and slow the game down.

EASY TO RUN FOR THE GM

EPIC LEGENDARY MONSTER SYSTEM

Legendary Monsters act after EACH hero’s turn. This makes legendary battles much more tactical, memorable, and easier to balance.

Bloodied & Last Stand! The tide of battle dramatically shifts as they gain additional abilities when their HP dwindles.

Made for GMs & Heroes. Legendary monsters are extremely easy for the GM to run at a glance (and self-balance across differeing party sizes), and tactically challenging for the party of heroes to fight.
