| | Now running with D&D5 sometime in the new year. |
| ==Basic Actions==
| |
| In FBH Fantasia 2nd (FBHF2) you roll all actions with a D20 + Attribute + stat + bonus (from equipment, magic, or whatever). All actions that require a roll are taken like this.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Character Creation==
| | 5 player slots open, everyone who wants to try should contribute a concept and I'll pick by fair methods. |
| A person is a combination of natural abilities and those learned through life experience, nature and nurture. Nature abilities tend to be broader, but you will receive less points to divide among them, and they are more difficult to raise, as they are mostly inborn, or at least long trained traits.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Nature=== | | =General campaign story= |
| Nature is the stuff that you're born with, or develop as a result of your physical body.
| | For a thousand years or more, the Larent Imperium, the greatest Empire since the days of the Asheni eight thousand years ago, ruled the land from one ocean to another. They kept the deeper races in the earth and the giants and orcs in the hills and mountains. Their sorcery was such that they gained congress even with the hidden elven and dwarfish homelands. Three hundred years ago, Then, three hundred years ago the Imperium fell. It was no invader or natural disaster that undid the empire, but rather the petty ambitions of its many lords and nobles. Internecine feuding grew to outright civil war, a civil war in which the sorcerous engines of the Imperial arsenals were widely unleashed. The land was devastated. In the ashes, numerous petty kingdoms grew up, preying on one another and preyed on by those forces the Imperium had once held at bay. |

| |
| ====Experiences====
| |
| These are a lot like white wolf backgrounds. The events in your life that have shaped you as to who you are.
| |
| | |
| ===Magic===
| |
| Magic is a constant in the world of FBHF2. Most everyone contains a combination of innate magical energies, said to be the remains of the blood of the five goddesses, mixed with humanity's own when she gave birth to the first humans. The blood of the goddesses gives each human a level of enhancement and a measure of the primal goddess's power. The question is now what you have, but how much of each? Rank each blood from 1, to 5. You gain all bonuses up to that level. This also represents your bonus for effects of that cast a spell, with each point in an effect added together to form a total pool. If you use an effect purely from one bloodline, that dicepool is doubled, however this creates strong limits on what can be achieved.
| |
| | |
| In general, the more an effect defies normal physics, the harder it is to achieve. So for instance, if you were to teleport across a room with pure Distance, this would be far more difficult than to jump the distance with distance + breath.
| |
| | |
| Note that even if a spell is successfully cast it may miss or otherwise fail. In general there are three ways to channel magic to create a successful effect. First you may channel magic through a skill. For instance to take an inhumanly long leap you'd roll Distance + Breath, and then athletics + power roll for the leap.
| |
| | |
| Higher levels of the divine blood maybe developed in play, through the refinement of one's spiritual essence. It requires 5 XP to gain one level of the divine blood. Gaining divine blood above 6 will give further, TBH bonuses.

| ===Derived statistics===
| |
| :Initiative:
| |
| :Mental Integrity:
| |
| | |
| ==Combat==
| |
| | |
| ===Initiative===
| |
| At the beginning of the combat, each player rolls initiative: d20 + Grace + perception + bonuses. Everyone must their declare their first rounds actions and stance, beginning with the lowest initiative.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Stance===
| |
| Each round you may take one of three stances, each of which give an escalating bonus known as a stance bonus. The stance bonus begins at +2 and each additional point maybe purchased at 1 XP, applied across all stances.
| |
| | |
| :Offensive: +X Attack -Half X Defense
| |
| :Defensive: +X Defense -Half X Attack
| |
| :Neutral: No bonus or penalty
| |
| | |
| Stance persists until the next action a person takes. So if you roll high initiative on the first round and take an offensive stance you maybe stuck in it the next round if your initiative goes bad.
