In FBH Fantasia 2 (FBHF2) most rolls consist of a number of d10s equal to (Attribute+ skill + bonuses) with a success number of 6, and any 1's subtracting a success, while 10s count double.

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.

For a thousand years or more, the Larent Hegemony, the greatest Empire since the days of the Asheni twelve 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 the Hegemony 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 Hegemony had once held at bay.

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 spell dice 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.

Latest revision as of 16:36, 21 March 2015

Now running with D&D5 sometime in the new year.

5 player slots open, everyone who wants to try should contribute a concept and I'll pick by fair methods. A possible sixth slot may open if there's more interest.

REMINDER: While Arcane casting is cool, a D&D party needs a cleric, a rogue and a fighter. Remember that 5th edition allows arcane options in other classes such as Eldritch Knight (Fighter) and Arcane Trickster (Rogue)

General campaign story

For a thousand years or more, the Larent Hegemony, the greatest Empire since the days of the Asheni twelve 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 the Hegemony 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 Hegemony had once held at bay.

It is said that a hero is at work in the land, a man of strength and courage who will restore the world to its proper order. You are not him, but that doesn't mean you're unimportant.

Currently

You are travelling through the Dutchy of Sardis, on the Eastern Coast of Linrain, once the poorest of the Northern Hegemonic provinces, now the least damaged. The Dutchy, more of a petty kingdom now, is racked by economic problems due to trade disruption in the inner sea, and by strikes by peasants and lesser land owners against the baron's harsh taxes. This dispute has led to a sharp increase in banditry, which so far the baron has declined to deal with, more interested in maintaining security against the threat of the high forest and Mire of the Dead to the East.
