YOUR FATE AND THE

DICE
Whenever you have found yourself in a
difficult situation, it’s more than likely
that you will need a number of dice to
decide your outcome. Most often, this
will be in the form of a test, a roll made
specifically based around a certain
quality, such as your character’s Aware­
ness or Dexterity. Tests are rolled with 3
six-sided dice, also known as 3d6.

DICE NOMENCLATURE
You will roll many different combinations
of dice, of which there are seven main
types: four-sided (d4), six-sided (d6),
eight-sided (d8), ten-sided (dl0), percen­
tile dice (also known as di0, but each
numbers ends in 0, ranging from 00 to
90), twelve-sided dice (d12), and twen­
ty-sided dice (d20).

When you roll multiple dice, we will add

the quantity directly before the dices'
type. For instance, 4 eight-sided dice will
be represented as 4d8.

( Though no magic exists that can proper­

ly predict the future, divination acts as a
way to calculate the most probable
outcome. This knowledge can be used to
offer more precise movements in
combat and in harvest, taking advantage
of insight that would normally be avail­
able only in the future.

The Art of Divination is a magical artistry

that differs heavily from all the others,
given it interacts with mana in its own
unique way. It's said that mana has
memory, and whatever the mana touch­
es, a true diviner may see.

WHO ARE YOU,
PLAYER?
The character you create will be your
avatar in Utopia. This character will
follow along the journey you take them,
enacting your will down to what steps
they take.

Throughout your adventuring career, you

will gain new talents that allow you to
acquire new capabilities and features.
Over your time of playing, you will
new abilities via talent trees that c
you access to new abilities that will
make them unique in both style and
practicality. These talents each take part
and affect your character’s body, mind,
and soul.

Your character will have multiple vari­

ables used to assess their overall capa­
bilities. They will have trait scores, which
express your character’s abilities to do
certain tasks. These are further broken
down into subtrait scores, which are
more refined levels of capability.

Your character will also be one of the

many, often humanoid, species that
inhabit the world of Utopia. This selec­
tion will have the strongest impact on
your character, and is difficult to change
in the future once decided. Each species
has several characteristics that will
alter your play: the rate at which your
pool of health and stamina scales, small
talent trees specific to that species, and
some trait and subtrait bonuses. More­
over, each species has a unique heritage
that will affect their social status, influ­
ence their style of decision making, and
produce unique interactions in the way
of your campaign's dedicated lore.

Automatons are constructed and used

tons may be built with sentience simply
for the sake of the creation of life.

LIFESPAN AND GENETICS

Automatons have varying lifespans,
based on how they were constructed
and what the purpose of their creator(s)
were. More often than not, automatons
do not age.

BACKGROUND
Automatons were first built by dwarves,
specifically in the form of druidic
golems. Since their initial creation, the
use of golems spread throughout Pia for
use as sentinels, tradesmen, and even
companions.

point, augmentation seemed to be the easiest answer.

This was also true after Uto's colonization, as the surface of Uto is littered with useful
resources such as iron, titanium, and silicon, all of which are usable in structural
components and in computational devices.

As technology advanced, creatures were able to make the transition from purely

Based on historical events, elves are a dominant species when it comes to power
across the territories of Pia. One of the largest civilized territories on Pia, Imperium,
has held elven rule for centuries.

Many elves are much more hospitable than their ancient ancestors, no longer observ­
ing the race of creatures in many scenarios. Though, the actions of elven leaders have
proved that they haven’t removed overall prejudice. Rather, physical capability has
become the new pivot for the elven highnesses.

Elves slowly began the process of building an inclusive culture once twilight elves
were introduced again. A mix of recognition of how powerful different creatures can be
and a level of embarrassment produced by outcasting one of the greatest magical
innovators opened many eyes.

Regardless of their wishes, twilight elves are generally held at high esteem in elven
society. With the interest of history, this esteem may be taken as insulting, almost a
failed apology for previous events. Disregarding that, statues were built in the image of
groundbreaking twilight elves, often disregarding the dwarven aid received.

The pride of the elven species has left them with an idea melded into their culture: the
amount of literal power a creature has directly correlates with that creature’s value in
the world.

His two younger siblings, Xon and Faun, never heard tales of such a sibling in their

though little did she know of the reason or the connotations of such.

The Prowess tree is unique from any other: once one completes a branch, they may revisit it from the start.
This tree is small and subtle, but offers infinite talents and usage of levels. Though it is slow, it is extremely
powerful in the way of potential.
SPECIALIST TALENTS
Beginning at a base level of 10 and
followed by each 10 levels afterwards,
your character is granted a specialist
talent of your choice. These are
cost-free talents that offer
supplementary abilities. Often these are
passive, but some active abilities exist.

Many talents, excluding some common

variety, have special requirements you
must meet in order to take them on. You
must meet those requirements upon
reaching a 10th level, otherwise that
talent is deemed unavailable until the
requirement is met. A prerequisite may
be anything from a minimum subtrait
score, acquiring a previous specialist
talent, having a specific core talent, as
well as others.

If you’re unsure of what specialist talent

to take, consider checking the species
specialist talents. Every species has one
specialist talent specific to them; beyond
that, there is a specialist talent centered
around each subtrait, called Skill
Specialist Talents. For instance, if your
character is centered around Power, the
Iron Gripped talent may be suitable.
None of the Skill Specialist Talents have
requirements and many will increase
their respective subtrait score by 1.

The most powerful talents are called

Ultimate Specialist Talents. These talents
boast extreme capability, but also have
the massive requirement of mastering
an entire talent tree. Which talent tree
needs to be mastered is specific to each
Ultimate Specialist Talent.
Basic Specialist Talents
Basic specialist talents are modest, offering lax ability with minimal requirements, such as another specialist
talent or a minimum trait or subtrait score. Many of these talents are specific or niche, though synergistic with
other abilities.

Without competition, ultimate specialist talents are the most powerful specialist talents a character may have
access to. On the other side of the coin, these talents have the highest requirements of any other specialist talent,
each requiring mastery of a single core talent tree. The raw effort of meeting the requirements is found worth the
inhuman raw capability offered. A creature with multiple of these talents would no longer be considered fully

AND FOCUS
When it comes to tasks that require your

CONCENTRATION
Tasks that require concentration are
tasks that require full, undivided atten­

one thing at a time. If the concentrating
creature takes any amount of damage
from a source, it must make a Fortitude
test against the amount of damage
taken. Upon failing, it loses concentra­

Concentrating creatures cannot focus,

cast spells, take the Attack action, the
Block action, or the Dodge action.

FOCUS
Tasks that require focus do not require
utter fixation, but do require some level
of consistent, extended attention. A
creature can focus on a number of tasks
equal to its Awareness score. When a
focusing creature takes any amount of
damage from a source, it must make a
Fortitude test against the amount of
damage taken. For each task it's focus­
ing on beyond the first, it gets a point of

Many years ago, the first arcane arts were manifested by the dwarves. Though this
information is public, few know their original inspiration and source of tutelage: the
first dragons to ever exist.

By nature, spells often take matter and energy from another plane, though those
planes only exist due to a species called the primordial dragons, recorded to be
currently extinct.

As the history of the draconic lineage evolved, the true lineage of magic was slowly
lost to time. However, wizards deep in study recognize these synergies and may
become stronger with such powerful intuition.

If the player's test is over double what

In other cases, the component a player

Regardless, the GM should take note of
whether or not it is available beforehand.

spells that they choose from, there is no small,
difference in cost either way.

ANATOMY OF A SPELL
A spell can be broken into two distinct
parts: the maw and the wake. Though a
maw is generally the same concept for
every spell, wakes vary greatly. Spells
that do not use the Art of Wake have an
infinitely small wake, or one that is
rather negligible.

The Maw
The maw is the heart of a spell, and
every spell must have one. In literal
terms, the maw is the actual point where
the Aether is pierced.

A spell always originates from its maw.

If a spell only affects 1 object or
creature, that means that the maw is
inside that entity. When a single-target
spell has a lingering effect, if the
creature leaves the spell’s range, the
effects of the spell follow the targeted
entity. This is not true if the spell has a
wake.

An important characteristic of a spell's

maw is its signature. Some are able to
read a spell's signature, and with
pertinent information, deduce who the
caster is and gain information on how it
was casted, even what circumstances
the caster was under in some cases.

The Wake
Only spells utilizing the Art of Wake have
a wake. This is the area of effect that the
maw can take advantage of when
casting spells. In essence, this is the

SOUL RENDING
• Soul rending is a highly sought form
of combat within the magical arts in
which one takes the soul of another
and smashes it repeatedly with a

rending for the fact that it is, literally,
tearing one’s soul from its vessel,
depleting the host’s life force.

Errata
The following information will be added to the prototype copy of Utopia TTRPG, typed
out in a similar fashion, and finally integrated in the final copy of the game. It’s
expected that once the errata has been added in an illustrated format, albeit in text, all
changes should be canon and finalized.

Talents

Species Talents
● The Inventive species talent of the Human tree will cost only 1 Mind.
● The Mental Screech talent of the Eldritch Cambion tree (and Breath Weapon
talent in the custom species tree) will be updated to say that it uses the given
subtrait modifier for both damage and tests made for accuracy.
● The Heaven’s Halo talent of the Angelic Cambion tree (and Halo talent in custom
species tree) will be reworded to say “any number of other creatures within 1
meter of you” instead of “any number of creatures”, and require that you spend
1 DHP instead of 1 SHP.
● The Activated Clash talent of the Cybernetic Cyborg tree (and Exceptional Clash
in the custom species tree) will be updated to say that 1 additional turn action
and 4 additional stamina should be paid for each stack.

Warfare Talents
● The left branch of the Warfare tree will be changed to observe all melee attacks,
including weaponless.
● Swift Strikes will include a maximum use of 2 times per attack, and will clarify a
minimum of 4 turn actions.
● Hasty Attacks will include a maximum use of 4 times per attack, and will clarify
a minimum of 2 turn actions.
● Terminal Drive will clarify a minimum of 1 turn action.
● The Charger talent will state that, as long as you take the Travel action directly
prior to taking the Attack action, the stamina reduction will be equal to the
Travel score used.

Innovation Talents
● The Intellectual talent will be reworded to clarify “another creature” instead of
“a creature”.
 ● The time requirement for the Deconstructor talent will be increased to 1 minute
and require a tool station, and no longer allow targeting consumables or
ammunition.
● The Algorithmic talent will only cover Power and Dexterity tests, not all
modifiers.

Specialist Talents
● The Natural Healer specialist talent will state that you can spend any number of
charges, choosing to either heal 1d4 SHP per charge used or 1d4 DHP for every 2
charges used. Combining both effects is not allowed in a single action. It will also
state “another creature” instead of “a creature”.
● The Archmage talent will allow casters to use SHP instead of DHP when casting
spells using the Perpetual feature (more updates on the Perpetual feature
below).
● The Faesong talent will be changed to say “any number of creatures within 10
meters that can sense and understand you” instead of “any number of creatures
that can sense and understand you”.
● The Dual Wielder specialist talent will state an additional turn action and 8
additional stamina per weapon beyond the first.
● The Adept specialist talent will have a clause for if you are gifted in each
subtrait, similar to the Disciple talent of the Prowess tree.
● The Conqueror talent will clarify that your turn still takes 6 seconds.

Spells
● Core spells will be recalculated to match the spellcraft system.
● Core spell costs using an “X” formula will be more clearly worded to indicate that
they are referring to multiplying the amount by X, and that X can be any amount
the caster chooses. (For instance, if a spell costs 3X to deal Xd8 damage, then
you may set X to 2; doing so, the spell will cost 6 stamina and deal 2d8 damage.)
● All spell effects that require a test (such as many Illusion features and Alteration
features) will now have a blanket clause that states, “A test can be made to resist
a single spell a number of times equal to the affected creature’s Fortitude
score,” preventing them from making infinite tests. This will be true for spells
with the Perpetual feature as well.
● It will be stated that regardless of usable arts, a caster may concentrate on a
spell to increase its duration, specifically by the amount of time spent
concentrating.
● Spells will be stated to require a visual and audible component of any type.
Specific Features
● The Magimatter and Elemental matter features of Evocation will see the
following changes:
○ Elemental Matter will be increased to 30 PP per stack.
○ Consumable items cannot be created with components summoned this
way.
○ They will both state that they cannot create items with the Spelltech
(Spellbomb) feature.
● The Perpetual feature of Enchantment will see the following changes:
○ It will cost 100PP.
○ It will not reduce the caster’s permanent stamina for any duration of
time. Instead, the caster will have to pay DHP (current, not maximum) to
cast a spell using this feature. Upon casting a spell using this feature, they
will gain 1 point of fatigue. 1 point of Fatigue gained this way is removed
after completing a rest.
○ Spell cast with this feature cannot be discounted in any way and the cost
cannot be substituted.
○ It will state that spells using this feature cannot force a creature to regain
SHP or DHP.
● The Reshape Object feature of Alteration will see the following changes:
○ It will have a maximum target size of Medium, though it will have a clause
to affect objects that fit within its wake.
● The Reshape Creature feature of Alteration will see the following changes:
○ It will have a maximum target size of Medium, though it will have a clause
to affect creatures that fit within its wake.
○ The minimum subtrait score for the Reshape Creature feature of
Alteration will be 1.
○ It will clarify that it cannot increase a creature's subtrait score beyond its
maximum.
● The Telekinetic Force feature of Alteration will see the following changes:
○ It will be given a “Use item” clause, in reference to items being suspended
telekinetically. The caster may spend 1 turn action to command a
suspended item, but must also use the necessary turn actions required to
activate the item. (For instance, to telekinetically attack with a 3 turn
action weapon, the caster must spend 4 turn actions). Weapons attacked
with this way still suffer Multi-Attack effects. The caster does not gain
passive effects from items suspended this way unless they would have
due to the item’s properties (such as the Radiating feature of Artifacts).
○ It will no longer require “proper leverage” for a creature to be able to
make a Strength test against the effect.
 ○ If an object or creature is forcefully stopped, this effect ends on it.
● The Telekinetic Halt feature of Alteration will no longer require “proper leverage”
for a creature to be able to make a Strength test against the effect.
● The Transmutation feature of Alteration will see the following changes:
○ The caster must have at least a 1 kilogram sample of the chosen material.
The sample cannot have been created through Transmutation and is
consumed upon casting.
○ The “within the spell’s wake” clause will be removed.
○ It will state that both the affected material and the sample must be either
pure or magimatter.
● The Shapeless Extend and Shapeless Fulminate features of Wake will see the
following changes:
○ They will offer a number of 1 meter squares and 1 meter cubes per stack,
allowing the spell to be any shape within the given tiles, and require that
all tiles be touching. (For instance, you can use 9 stacks of it to make a 3
by 3 square, but mold the wake to work around obstacles.)
● The Debilitate feature of Alteration will see the following changes:
○ Creatures paralyzed this way do not automatically fail Strength tests
against contesting the spell.
○ Creatures paralyzed this way will be given the option to make a Strength
or Will contest.
● The Delay feature of Enchantment will see the following changes:
○ It will say “all other effects” instead of “all effects”.
● Art of Wake features will include “all applicable targets” instead of just “all
creatures”.
● The Dispel feature of Enchantment will have an additional clause stating, “This
has no effect on spells that costed more than this feature or spells that were paid
in a different cost than this feature.”

Items
● Core items will be recalculated to match the item craft system.
● A stack limit will be introduced for crafting. An item may have a number of
features (stacked features counting as multiple features) based on its rarity:
maximum of 10 for Crude, 20 for Common, 30 for Extraordinary, and so on
linearly. This will include both positive and negative features.
● Negative effects on items will no longer offer component discounts.
● All effects on Consumables that state “only affects the user” will be removed.
● The Augmentable feature of all items will be changed to state that they can be
augmented into their respective slot, rather than each being augmentable into
the chest slot.
Specific Features
● The maximum X for the Loaded feature for all weapons will be increased to 6.
● The Non-Lethal feature for weapons will become no longer compatible with the
Poisonous or Wounding feature.
● The Destructive feature for artifacts under Passive Effects will be removed,
though the activated effect will stay.
● The Thorned feature for weapons will state that they have no damage type and
ignore defenses.
● The Spellbomb feature will be renamed to Spelltech.
● The Penetrative feature of weapons will be changed in the following ways:
○ The RP cost for Fast weapons will be increased to 80 RP.
○ The RP cost for Moderate weapons will be reduced to 60 RP.
○ The RP cost for Slow weapons will be reduced to 40 RP.
○ It will become stackable, requiring that a damage type is chosen each
time.
● The Hexproof feature will be removed from armor, replaced with the Constricting
feature:
○ Equipped creatures gain 1 point of Fatigue while the armor is worn.
○ It will be valued at the same RP as each instance of Hexproof.
● The Hexproof feature of Artifacts will be modified to have a positive RP rather
than a negative.
● The Command Trigger activation feature and Unwieldy activation feature will be
clarified to not be compatible with each other on the same activation, though
they may each be used on separate activations.
● All instances of Unwieldy (All weapons, shields, consumables, and artifacts) will
value at -10 RP and become stackable, maximum of 6 stacks.
● The Destructive feature of Artifacts will be reworded to state that activating an
artifact this way will be considered an attack.
● Ammunition artifact wording will be changed from “Activated features for this
item are triggered during each attack” to “This artifact’s features are triggered
upon a successful weapon attack using this artifact as ammunition and will
cause this item to be consumed.” (The option of attacking with ammunition
innately will not be added, as it doesn’t have an innate or modifiable turn action
requirement, though there will be no specific ruling against it.)
● The Intensify feature on armor and artifacts will be stated to observe the
wielder’s maximum.
● The Assisted feature on weapons will state that it reduced the accuracy test TD
by half for each stack instead of giving the user a point of favor.
● The Blinding and Confusing features on weapons will see the following changes:
○ Each feature will become stackable.
 ○ Upon failing the test, the number of turns that a creature will succumb to
the given effects will be equal to the number of stacks.
○ The feature will cost 15 RP for Blinding, 30 RP for Confusing.
● The Extravagant and Elegant features will each see the following changes:
○ Each will only add the damage modifier to one damage type it would
already deal, chosen upon crafting. It will not be stackable.
○ For fast weapons, Elegant will cost 60 RP and Extravagant will cost 80 RP.
○ For moderate weapons, Elegant will cost 30 RP and Extravagant will cost
45 RP.
○ For slow weapons, Elegant will cost 10 RP and Extravagant will cost 20 RP.
● The Exhausting feature will be reduced to 50 RP for each weapon.
● The Reach feature on weapons will now have a maximum of 3 and be converted
to an X value rather than a stackable feature.
● The Range feature on weapons will have an X value rather than a stackable
feature. Artifacts will also include this feature under Passive Features, requiring
the Destructive feature.
● The following item features will require that the item be a minimum rarity of
Common:
○ The Medical feature on consumables.
○ The Elegant and Poisonous features on all weapons.
● The following item features will require that the item be a minimum rarity of
Extraordinary:
○ The Penetrative, Wounding, and Extravagant features on all weapons.
○ The Augmentable feature on all armor.
● Items will have a minimum RP value of 1.
● The Radiating feature on artifacts will be removed.
● The Harsh feature on hand armor and feet armor will be updated to state that
additional damage does not take on the effects of your weaponless attacks.
● The Dosed feature on consumables will be removed.

Basic Mechanics
● Weaponless attacks will be stated to include Power modifier.
● The mechanics of defenses will be stated in the book: Whenever you are dealt a
specific type of damage, that damage is reduced by your respective defense.
● Grappling will be changed to give a point of disfavor on tests made to grapple
creatures for each size category larger or smaller they are than you, and that
you can only grapple creatures up to 1 size larger than you.
● Scaling will be changed to give a point of favor for each size category larger the
target creature is than you.
● An optional starting equipment will be included in the book: an amount of Silver
 Pieces equal to the starting level squared, and the option to purchase gear
accordingly. Customized items can only be purchased if the buyer has the ability
to craft them. (Example: A level 10 player will start with 100 silver pieces.)
● Damage dice redistribution will elaborate a minimum die of d4 as a blanket
statement.
● Defenses will be clarified to be a per-source mechanic, such as described below
with simultaneous attacks.
● Blocking and dodging will be clarified as a per instance mechanic, such as
described below with simultaneous attacks.
● Simultaneous attacks will state that each weapon will independently observe
defenses, though due to them all happening at the same time, must be Blocked
or Dodged all together.
● The Travel action will be stated that all potential movement must be used during
the action. Interrupting travel with another action will lead to a loss of additional
usage. (For instance, if you have a travel score of 10 and move only 5 meters
before making an attack, you will not regain those additional 5 meters of travel.)
● It will be worded in Turn Actions to clarify that turns are not simultaneous. Each
creature’s turn takes a consecutive 6 seconds to complete, meaning from the
start of your turn to the end of your turn, 6 seconds have passed. It will also be
stated that an interrupt action is not exactly 1 second, but rather it varies based
on the given action and the creature’s responsive capabilities, whereas 1 turn
action is 1 second.
● Wording for how deciding turn order works will be stated in the book: all
applicable creatures make Speed tests. Turn order is determined by the value of
each roll, highest rolls going first.
● The Aim action will be reworded to clarify that it can be stacked as long as the
Aim action is taken consecutively before an attack without being interrupted by
another action.
● It will be stated that you can throw melee weapons at the cost of losing
possession of them. They will do their normal damage and their close range will
be equal to your Strength or Agility score, whichever is higher, and their long
range will be double that.
● Fatigue will be modified, such that a creature gains a point of Fatigue after not
eating for 24 hours, not sleeping for 24 hours, or not drinking water for 24 hours.
● Under Carry Capacity, it will be changed to say that Augmentable items and
equipped items both count against a creature's slot allowance.
● Grappling will state that it takes twice as many interrupt actions to Block or to
Dodge creatures other than the grappler.
● Scaling will state that it takes twice as many interrupt actions to Block or to
Dodge the scaling creature.
● The Attack action will include a statement that bonus damage for attacks do not
innately include the features of the attack.
Other Expect Changes
These are the following changes that do not affect balance that can be expected as a
difference between the prototype and the finalized copy.

Flavor and Lore

● Oxtii will be given information on their lifespan.
● Under “Pia and Uto” on page 2, “one century ago” will be corrected to “two
centuries ago”.
● “Utian agency” will be changed to “Pian agency” on page 13.
● Restructure the wings from the Piantheon, and remove all signals of hierarchy.

Informational
● Under the “A Talented Champion” section, the Influence tree will be given a
description.
● “PC” will be spelled out as “Power Component” on page 18.
● It will be noted under customizable species that custom species options are an
optional ruling. The heightened level of power and versatility will be noted, and
that allowing any custom species of any combination may lead to a heightened
power level for players. GMs be warned.
● The Skill Specialist Talent description will be modified to state that it is one of the
only ways to increase a subtrait beyond its maximum.
● Under “Ranged Weapons”, ranged weapons will be described as weapons with a
close and far range instead of weapons with 3 or more meters of range.

Graphic Changes
● The contrast on the Magecraft tree will be increased for better visibility.
● All art marked with a “TA” watermark will be removed and replaced.

Other Fixes and Changes

● All typos, grammatical errors, and duplicate paragraphs and text will be fixed.
● Capitalization and bolding will be consistent throughout.
● Several hyphenations will be removed for better readability.
Customizable Species
The number of different sentient creatures with similar silhouette to yourself is
immeasurable. When it comes to deciding who you want your avatar to be, there may
always be another option that you’re looking for. However, unlike other customizable
features in Utopia, a custom species has much more leniency in the way of design.

Unlike items and spells, each species normally fits within a bottom line and a top line.
While designed spells have a stamina cost that increases based on power and items
have a rarity and value, species simply exist within a certain range of abilities.

A GM may rule that only specific custom species are allowed, that certain custom
species are not allowed, or that no custom species are allowed at all.

Stats and Quirks

When designing a species, you’ll end with a number of Quirk Points (QP). These
accumulate based on the starting Constitution, Endurance, Effervescence, number of
gifted subtraits, starting Block Rating and Dodge Rating, its Quirks, and sometimes its
talents.

Quirks are a list of features that are innate to the species. Examples include what
languages they speak, the number of usable appendages it has, and the ability to fly.
Each of these make the species unique while also producing a number of balances to
their abilities. The total number of Quirk Points must be between 18 and 23.

Each species innately speaks either Utopian and one other specific language or
Utopian and one other simple language of the player’s choice.

Deciding Talents
While a species can have virtually any talent. However, there are a number of basic
talents that are shared by several species. These basic talents allow for them to have a
decent boost to basic abilities such as Block and Dodge Rating and their travel scores.

Each talent that’s used by other species should have the same cost, regardless of who’s
able to gain them. Although, the distribution of Body, Mind, and Soul points may vary
freely.

For instance, the Ore Scent talent should always cost 1 talent point total, but can cost 1
Body, 1 Mind, or 1 Soul. The Quick Footing talent should always cost a total 2 talent
points in any combination.
Each species talent should cost no more than 3 talent points unless a quirk allows them
higher costs. A talent cannot require a more expensive talent to be gained. For
instance, if the Quick Footing talent is in a Tier 1 position, the Ore Scent talent cannot
be in the Tier 2 position of that branch.

Body, Mind, and Soul

Generally, a creature’s Body, Mind, and Soul scores have several meanings, modifying
both the meaning behind their talents and the mechanical advantage they gain,
accordingly.

Body
A creature’s body represents their physical skill and toughness. Talents that focus
towards strengthening one’s physical form should cost a higher number of Body points.
As well, these points will increase the species’ max SHP potential.

Mind
If a creature uses its wits to gain the talent, it should focus more on Mind points. These
points will increase the species’ max stamina potential.

Soul
When a creature’s social skills to carve a path towards the talent or gained it through a
strong attachment to their soul, such as one would through cultivation, it should have a
high concentration of Soul points. These points will increase the species’ max DHP
potential.

Quirks
A species can have a maximum of 5 total quirks. Some quirks may increase or decrease
the creature’s total Quirk Points, though some have no effect due to having a small
effect or having one that can be either negative or positive.

If a number of options are separated by slashes, the same position must be chosen
each time and only 1 may be chosen. For instance, if a creature is offered 2/3/5 meters
of Air travel at the cost of 3/5/8 stamina each turn, an Air travel of 2 always costs 3
stamina and an Air travel of 5 always costs 8 stamina.

It’s important to note that each subspecies of the same family may have different
quirks. If they do, they still must hold to the range of 10 to 15 quirk points.

Talents
Every species will have between 10 to 11 talents that they have access to, partially
based on what subspecies they are. Each option will have three total branches: one to
two species branches and one or two subspecies branches.

A species branch will be shared amongst each subspecies. These branches will be 4
tiers and identical across each option. Subspecies branches, on the other hand, are
specific to each subspecies and only contain 3 total tiers.

Some talents are exceptional, making them more valuable than other potential talents.
These talents may cost Quirk Points to add to a species tree. Any talent that does not
have such a cost does not cost any Quirk Points to add.

Calculating Stats
Keeping in mind a species’ Constitution, Endurance, Effervescence, Block Rating,
Dodge Rating, and gifted subtraits, the following metrics must be used:
● Each Constitution point, Endurance point, and Effervescence point is worth 1 QP.
None of these scores may be below 2 or above 8 unless a quirk allows them to
be.
● Each die of Block Rating and Dodge Rating are worth 1 QP. These scores must
each fit within 1 to 6 dice total.
● Gifted subtraits are each worth 1 QP and must be specific unless a quirk allows
them to be chosen by the player. A species must have between 1 and 4 gifted
subtraits. 3 specific gifted subtraits may be traded for 2 gifted subtraits chosen
by the player.

With these specifications, a species must have at least 9 Quirk Points before adding
any additional features.
Modular Creature Generation
There are more creatures in the world than there are pages in most books; however,
these creatures can often be broken down into a sum of smaller parts. Many creatures
share a handful of things in common, and you can use that when designing creatures of
your own, specific to the setting you need.

Creatures can be designed in three total parts: a body, a number of kits, and some
number of classes.

Creature Body
A creature body will depict the most features of it. This includes its base stats health
and stamina, subtraits, and what basic actions it will be equipped with. As well, this will
decide what it takes to harvest that given creature and what may be gained upon
doing so.

This is the only feature of a creature that is required. A single creature body may be
used on its own, no customization required.

What type of harvestable resources a creature will have is based on its final DR. What
types of components can be harvested and what type of test that needs to be made is
based on the creature body. However, the rarity of those components are decided by
the following, unless otherwise stated:
● DR 19 or lower offers Crude components
● DR 20-39 offers Common components
● DR 40-74 offers Extraordinary components
● DR 75-149 offers Rare components
● DR 150-299 offers Legendary components
● DR 300 or higher offers Mythical components

Kits
A creature can have any number of kits attached to it. Each kit has a series of
stackable features, each one depicting its aptitudes. For instance, you may add three
stacks of the Tank kit and a single stack of the Aggressive kit, creating a creature that
can receive a decent amount of damage while still having some amount of damage
output.

For each kit that’s added, you’ll increase the creature’s SHP, DHP, stamina, subtraits,
defenses, travel scores, Block Rating, and Dodge Rating accordingly. As well, it may
gain some features such as points of favor on specific tests.
Classes
There are four types of classes that a creature can have: martial classes, arcane
classes, support classes, and innate classes. A creature can have up to one class from
each type except innate, but isn’t required to have any innately. A creature may have
more than one innate class, but only up to 1 stack of each type.

Some classes offer items and equipment. When attaching a class to a creature, you
may treat it as if it’s equipped with the item, or as if the effects of the item are a part of
the creature’s innate abilities. Which one you choose will depict how much XP the
creature can potentially give to players; if a creature drops an item it was holding, an
amount of XP is removed from the encounter based on the rarity of the dropped item,
minimum of 0 XP. This is not true for harvested items.

Much like kits, each class will increase the creature’s stats and give it a number of
passive features, as well as potential additional actions that it may take. An item
received from a class that uses Energy, Heat, or Chill damage effects may be
interchanged with another one of the three options freely without affecting the DR of
the creature.

For more advanced customization, certain stats can be redistributed, even after
choosing body, kits, and classes, in the following manner:
● SHP, DHP, and stamina may be redistributed in any way as long as the total sum
is the same.
● Subtraits may be redistributed in any way as long as the total sum is the same
and no subtrait goes below 1 and the total sum is the same.
● Block Rating and Dodge Rating may be redistributed in any way, given neither
of them go below 1 die and the total sum of dice is the same.
● Defenses may be redistributed in any way as long as the total sum is the same.
● You can create a character, with or without a custom species, and treat it as a
creature. The creature’s DR will be equal to the created character’s level.
Characters created this way may be treated as a Creature Body, and kits and
classes may be attached to it as necessary.
Creature Bodies
Exactly one creature body must be chosen for each creature design. If an option is
written in a Option/Option/Option format, any single option may be chosen at no
change to other stats.
