Introduction

Before presenting this product, I would like

to introduce myself. I am a RPG player and Game

Master since 1994, and one of the people who

were part of the Returners group of since the

creation of FFRPG’s first edition. I followed and

helped to carry out the playtest of all "official"

editions of the game, through the internet relay

chat (IRC) campaigns or playing offline. The

group stayed together until the end of second

edition’s development, around July 2001.

When the development of the famous third

edition started, there began to be disagreements

among the team, leading to the creation of the

first FFRPG "spin-off", called ZODIAC, created by

S Ferguson, which, from 2001 until today (the last

version is dated 2013) , has gone through three

editions. The FFRPG (or Returners' FFRPG, as it

became known to differentiate the ZODIAC

FFRPG) took 8 years to complete the

development of its 3rd edition, being officially

launched in 2009. But even after such a long

development time, it was released with various

problems that generated other versions.

There were the works of Fernanda Parker

in Brazil, who translated the game to Portuguese;

the SeeD group, formed by many of the original

members of the Returners, but already without

the leadership of Samuel Banner, who was project

leader at the time of the 3rd edition, created

another version, the FFRPG SeeD, more focused

on online gaming via IRC: according to the

authors, the game is "impossible" to be played on

a real table without computer assistance; Alan

Wiling and his team created the FFRPG d20,

based on Pathfinder; Scott Tengelin and his team

also started another version, which was finalized

by Dust, who published, in 2010, the third edition

of FFd6 system. Another game published was

Chikago’s Academia Bahamut, a Brazilian cross

between ZODIAC and the original 3rd edition.

Thus, when creating this game, I try to

stand on the shoulders of giants. All creators and

games mentioned above were sources of

inspiration when I build this version. Still, I do not

consider myself writing the final or definitive

version of FFRPG; as well as electronic games,

pen and paper RPG continues to evolve and

incorporate different concepts and reach

different audiences. I hope that this work is just

the kickoff to the fifth edition, sixth edition, and

many others, created by fans of this ageless

masterpiece: Final Fantasy.

I would like to say thank you to the

playtesters who helped shape this game: Felipe

"Hitoshura" Furtado, Gabriel "Paladin" Sasso,

Anderson "Zada" Tavares, Wyohara, Lucas

Hoffman, Leandro "Maromba" Valente, Pedro

Rodrigues, Rafael Sobreira, Thiago Sobreira,

Dust, who graciously gifted her own FFd6 images

and lots of fluffy bits, and Novacat for the

grammar help.

What is Final Fantasy, anyway?

Final Fantasy is a series of more than thirty

console RPGs and two MMORPGs. Though each

story in the series is independent, there are

numerous recurring themes and elements such as

airships and bright yellow avians, well-known

monsters and heroic save-the-world storylines.

Originally inspired by Dungeons and

Dragons, the Final Fantasy series has grown to

take on a flavor all its own. It has become a

setting in which the fundamental well-known

limits of human capability are casually ignored,

where a villain’s strength can be measured by

their androgyny and size of their hair, and where

only a ragtag team of heroes usually under the

age of thirty are competent (or incompetent)

enough to make a difference. These are stories

about good versus evil, twisted technology and

heroic perseverance, duality, self-sacrifice,

camaraderie and love, and taking on truly

legendary enemies with your eight-foot sword

and magical umbrella.

Play Basics

This PDF contains the entirely of the rules

you'll need to know. Like most pen-and-paper

RPGs, you'll also need dice – in this case, ten-

sided dice. Most rolls in this system are referred

as a “d100” roll. To do that, roll two ten-sided

dice, usually in two different colors or by rolling

one after another. One die will represent the unit

digit, and the other die will represent ten's digit.

Name what die will be each digit before you roll!

A result of “00” is read as 100. You’ll usually want

two per player but having extras is a good idea.

Setting

The Final Fantasy series has spanned

dozens of worlds – from Ivalice, the multiracial

land of mercenaries and adventure, to Cocoon,

the artificial planet nurtured by psychopathic

ancient constructs – and rarely do any two of

these worlds operate under the same laws. Some

feature magic that slowly chips away at the minds

of those who use it, and in others death is little

more than a minor inconvenience.

As you can imagine, this means that

creating an universal set of rules, one that covers

everything from the entire Final Fantasy series, is

simply impossible – and ignoring this fact would

be irresponsible and downright chaotic at best.

Details about each specific game setting may be

found on the Worldbooks series, each describing

one specific world. At the time of this book, the

Final Fantasy IV Worldbook is already published,

and many more are coming .

That said, this book was designed to give

you and your friends a chance to explore your

own stories, with your own heroes, and very

often, in your own unique Final Fantasy world.

Whether your campaign will be set a familiar

place….or whether it will be set in a post-

apocalyptic city where the last memories of the

deceased are immortalized as whispering magical

crystals….well, that’s all up to you. Are the heroes

tied together by virtue of ancient prophecy or are

they childhood friends? Are they a crew of

gentlemen airship thieves or forced into an

uneasy alliance by the outbreak of war? This is a

chance to let your creativity shine.

The Game Master

In the video games, Final Fantasy may be

accessed with a cartridge, CD-ROM or DVD. In

FFRPG, however, it is the Game Master (GM) who

unspools the epic saga, acting as both referee and

storyteller. As a storyteller it is their

responsibility to create the quests and storylines

the players become embroiled in, take on the

roles of Non-Player Characters (NPCs), the people

and monsters the heroes encounter in their

travels, and act as the players' eyes and ears

within the game, describing the scenery and

situations. As a referee, the GM enforces the

rules, set outs the challenges, and keeps the

players on task to ensure each session runs as

smoothly as possible. It might seem daunting to

tackle these challenges with the patience and

dedication they deserve, but it is very rewarding.

The Players

Players in the FFRPG step into the shoes of

a character with an unique background,

personality, skills and powers. These protagonist

are know as the Player Characters (PCs), and

ultimately shape the story by virtues of their

actions and decisions. There are some crucial

differences between videogame and tabletop play,

however; each player generally only control one

character, rather than an entire party. As result,

most adventures will see several players

cooperating with each other under the GM's

guidance, working along to create the story. This

game is not a competitive exercise: the players

work together to overcome the challenges they

create and/or the GM presents them, but the

collective goal is to have fun together, not to “win”.

As much as the PC and some NPC may be

enemies, players and the GM have the same

purpose: to collectively have fun while creating a

memorable story.

Kupo! I'm Mog, the moogle, and I'll be your

guide through this book. I'll be presenting you some

examples, hints, and other assorted help so you can

understand more easily the terms and how the game

works. I hope you have fun playing this edition of the

FFRPG!

Quark! I'm Boco, the chocobo. During the

book, I'll bring mechanical advice and optional

rules. There are plenty of ways to use this

system, and you can change it to better suit your

playstyle and your playgroup. So count with me

to bring alternate ways to use this ruleset to

your liking!

Design Principles and Decisions

Recreate the "feeling" of the old JRPGs

The game's core concept is "nostalgia". As

such, the game must be flexible and customizable

enough so each group can emphasize the aspects

they find most relevant to the gaming experience.

Final Fantasy have over 25 years of history and

different gamers had lots of different experiences.

Group Focus

The gaming unit is the group. Use

mechanical rules for the group of adventurers as

design decision. This "group" should take into

account not only the players ‘ opinion, but also

the Game Master's.

Introduction - Page 5

Avoid downtime

Downtime is the time that the player

spends "not-playing" during the game. It is

basically caused by the fact that not all players

can effectively act at the same time, due to the

Game Master’s inability to hear everyone at the

same time. During the gaming experience, all

players must be involved in the action as much as

possible.

Quick Production

Translating Final Fantasy to tabletop is a

huge endeavor. It is best to deliver a small

product that can be played with few options than

try to describe all the possible options before

publishing the game. The game should be

modular, with space for "expansions", to allow

quicker production. The specific rules for specific

game settings should be published into each

game module, and the game should be easily

“moddable”.

Create 2 games

Yes. The idea is to two games. If you stop to

coldly analyze what were the JRPGs of the golden

era (8, 16 and 32 bit), you will see that basically

the "RPG" is actually a strategy game and an

exploration game (I'm talking of pure RPGs, not

Action RPGs or Tactical RPGs). The moment of

transition between the two games is the moment

of combat. Thus, in order to emulate this spirit, I

am divorcing the combat system from the "non-

combat" system in order to clearly characterize

the two moments. Actions out of combat will have

another mechanics, and will function differently

from actions in combat.

Tabletop, but not only tabletop

This is a tabletop game and should be

written as such. The rules should be as tabletop-

friendly as possible and should be able to play

with only pencils, paper and dice. However, RPG

evolved with its medium over the time. The rules

must be able to work in other environments, like

computer assisted, chat-based games and the

slower Play-by-Post games.

Glossary

Challenge: An obstacle in the story the

characters must try to overcome. They can be

introduced by player action, but most Challenges

will be crafted by the GM.

Destiny Points: What separates common

men from heroes. A metagame currency to give

the players limited narrative control.

Dice Engine: How to use dice rolls. FFRPG

Edition is a d100 based, roll over system. This

means you'll be rolling a d100, and must get a

number over a Difficulty to have sucess.

Difficulty: The target number you should

beat to be sucessful at a Challenge. For example, if

the Difficulty is 60, you must roll 61 or greater in

a d100 to overcome it.

Experience: The main currency for

character advancement. Measured in Experience

Points (XP). May be spent to increase a

character's Stats.

Level: A general measure of a character's

power level. A character's Level is the sum of all

his Stat Levels.

Skills: How a character is skilled at a

particular field of knowledge. Having skills will

help that character to accomplish tasks in that

area.

Stats: A measure of the influence of the

four Crystals in each character – Earth, Air, Fire

and Water. Stat values are linked to the

character's Level, his Experience, Skills, and

combat abilities.

Introduction - Page 6

Game Setup

Group Creation

An FFRPG 4e Adventure or Campaign is

centered around the Group: the organization or

party which the player characters are a part of,

whose ideals or structure brings the players

much of their general goals or objectives. Group

creation is a joint activity between the players

and GM, and will serve to guide subsequent

creation of individual player characters. This

activity is very important because it defines what

kind of stories will be played. To create the group,

follow the 5 steps below.

1. Choose Traits

These special features are the mechanical

elements that will influence the way the

game is played. Each group has three

Traits, chosen from the list below. Traits

strongly influence how the game will

unfold, and should be chosen very well by

the GM and the players.

2. Choose a Name

Self-explanatory. The Group may have a

name like Returners, Knights of Ivalice,

Heroes of Light, Shin-Ra Inc., SOLDIER, or

any other name.

3. Create the Roots

What links the group? Why was it

founded? What is its reason for existence?

Are they the underground resistance to an

oppressive empire? Are they members of

a kingdom or a corporation? Are they

young people from a village in the

countryside?

4. Create the Evil

Who is the main antagonist? Who

threatens the Group’s existence?

Remember that this antagonist may (and

probably will) change during the course

of a campaign.

5. Write the starting Destiny Points

Destiny Points is a Group feature that can

be used by players to influence the story.

Starting Groups begin with 4 Destiny

Points.

Game Setup - Page 7

Traits

Monster Hunter

This group was founded to kill monsters.

You gain experience points (XP) by winning

battles against beasts and other creatures.

The Good: You may spend Destiny Points

to discover things about monsters.

The Bad: Monsters are always hostile to

you. You need to spend Destiny Points to prevent

a monster from being automatically hostile.

Sense of Duty

This group was founded to follow an

organization. Define what is the specific

organization, which may be a church, a kingdom,

the army, a corporation, or something else. This

Trait can be selected more than once, each time

representing an affiliation to a different

organization. You gain experience points (XP) by

performing missions for the organization.

The Good: You may spend Destiny Points

to receive help from the organization. This special

aid will depend on the chosen organization.

The Bad: You can’t refuse missions from

that organization, even if it goes against the

character’s beliefs, unless you spend Destiny

Points.

People’s Hero

This group was founded to liberate people

from tyranny. You gain experience points (XP) by

removing corrupt officials, protecting the public

and doing good deeds.

The Good: You may spend Destiny Points

to call for assistance of the population. This help

may involve shelter, food, hiding, and other

support within the reach of the common man.

The Bad: You can’t refuse a request for

help from a humble man, unless you spend

Destiny Points.

Relics from the Past

This group was founded to investigate the

secrets of the past, either arcane or technological

(depending on the campaign). You gain

experience points (XP) by investigating ruins,

discovering elder tomes or other ancient artifacts.

The Good: You may spend Destiny Points

to find out stories about artifacts and other

ancient legends.

The Bad: Many of the ancient things have

profound and dire stories, carrying curses. You

may suffer the curse that was upon something

found, unless you spend Destiny Points.

Mercenary

This group was founded to acquire wealth

and power. You gain experience points (XP) by

earning Gil or other material possessions.

The Good: You have contacts that appear

in the most improbable moments. By spending

Destiny Points in any situation, you can find

someone interested in buying or selling you

things, except if this imply risk of life. However,

they may not always charge fair prices, even if

this merchant is a cat-man in the middle of an

inhospitable mountain.

The Bad: People tend not to rely on

mercenaries and will doubt your intentions when

they know your motivations, unless you spend

Destiny Points.

Game Setup - Page 8

Nemesis

This group was founded to fight

something or someone of great power. This

enemy can be a person or organization. This Trait

can be selected more than once, each time

representing a different enemy. You gain

experience (XP) preventing the plans of your

Nemesis or defeating him or his lackeys.

The Good: As much as your Nemesis hate

you, it always seems to leave a hole in his plans.

Whenever you are in a situation of imminent

defeat to your Nemesis, you may spend Destiny

Points to figure out a way to escape, in order to

face it again later. This does not count as

defeating or preventing the nemesis’s plan in any

way: you only save yourself.

The Bad: Your Nemesis know your plans

better than anyone. Whenever you try to spend

Destiny Points to get any advantage over your

Nemesis, you will need to spend twice as many

Destiny Points.

Protégé

This group was founded to protect

something or someone from harm. Although it is

very important for several reasons, this protégé is

unable to defend itself from harm, which can be

physical or not. This Trait can be selected more

than once, each time representing an different

entity to be protected. You gain experience points

(XP) by avoiding harm for the entity or by

restoring it.

The Good: If your protégé is in danger,

you may spend Destiny Points to gain a second

chance on any Challenge that can save it.

The Bad: If the protégé is destroyed or

killed, even if is possible to reconstruct, resurrect

or any other way restore it, you lose Destiny

Points.

Reputation

This group was founded to earn fame and

success. You gain experience points (XP) when

you can spread your reputation and become

better known and loved. Alternatively, you may

decide that your desired reputation is bad

reputation and your goal is to become feared and

hated.

The Good: Your reputation precedes you.

You may spend Destiny Points to impress or even

influence people based on your reputation.

The Bad: It's hard to go incognito. When

you really need to be undercover, you need to

spend Destiny Points, or else you will be

recognized or otherwise affected by your

reputation.

Group creation is really a huge part of campaign

creation. When planning the campaign, you may create

the Group (and its Traits) ahead of time and simply

present it to the players. However, if you can, just

present the setting and try to create the Group along

with your players. Below I'll present two different Group

examples, all within the same setting.

Setting: Wars of Mana. Taken straight from

Seiken Densetsu III (or Secret of Mana 2) storyline,

Wars of Mana takes place on a high fantasy medieval

world, where six great nations fight over control for the

Mana, the magical energy that permeates the world.

Group's Traits: Relics from the Past, Nemesis

(Ganelon) & Monster Hunter. This group was created to

find a way to stop Ganelon, an evil shapeshifter who is

using political connections, doppelganger minions and

his cunning to force the world into widespread chaos

and war. They believe the key to stop them is solving

the enigma of the finite Mana, discovering a way to

please all the kingdoms. This campaign went with a

political undertone, with the PCs struggling to uncover

Ganelon's emissaries and stop his machinations.

Group's Traits: Relics from the Past,

Reputation & Nemesis (The One without a Name). The

players decided they would face a timeless being from

another dimension. A creature so terrible and alien that

no mortal could even speak his name without delving

into the pits of madness. This was even stronger due to

one of the PCs being half-mad due to an encounter with

it. And whats worse, it seems that no one believed them.

This campaign had a very dark horror tone, as the PCs

struggled to earn a Reputation and prove to the world

that an unseen threat exists. The only ones who listened

were the already-corrupted cultists of this Evil God.

Game Setup - Page 9

Character Creation

Each player character has its own

characteristics. They are individually assigned by

the player to his character, based on the concept

the player wants to roleplay. To create a player

character, do the following steps:

1. Choose a Name

Again self-explanatory. Choose a name

that suits the character you want to play.

2. Choose your Traits and Quirks

Each character has a total of 3 Traits and

3 Quirks. 2 of his Traits must be chosen

from his Group’s Traits, and the last one is

chosen from the Trait list, and don’t need

to be one of the Group's Traits. The 3

Quirks must be chosen from the list in the

following chapter, pages 12 to 15. Traits

define how the character will earn

experience points (XP) and evolve during

the game, while the Quirks indicate how it

can earn Destiny Points. Remember that

the Destiny Points are shared by the

Group, hence all Destiny Points income

and expenses will come from the Group's

total Destiny, rather than being individual

characters’ values. In addition, all Traits

grant ways in which the characters may

spend Destiny points.

3. Choose your Jobs

Each player character has two Jobs,

chosen from two different lists. The

combination of Main and Secondary jobs

can allow for a great variety of characters,

each with several unique ways of

contributing in battle, by wielding unique

Abilities against their foes. The jobs are

the following:

Main Jobs: Adept, Archer, Artist, Black

Mage, Druid, Monk, Time Mage, Rogue,

Warrior, White Mage

Secondary Jobs: Alchemist, Berserker,

Defender, Dervish, Fencer, Rune Knight,

Phalanx, Wizard.

More details on Jobs and its Abilities are

in the next chapter, starting at page 17.

4. Spend XP to increase your Stats

In FFRPG 4e, each character has four

Stats, each related to a crystal: Earth, Air,

Fire and Water. More details on these

Stats are in the next chapter, in page 15. A

starting character has a total of 200 (two

hundred) experience points (XP) to spend

on their Stats.

5. Assign your Skills

A character earns 1 Skill point for each 3

Levels he earns. Remember that the total

Character Level is the sum of his Stat

Levels. These skill points may be spent as

the player wish between the skills, but the

Stat Level is the maximum amount of skill

points that may be spent in all skills

linked to that Stat. The skills are:

Earth Skills: Strength, Climbing,

Swimming, Intimidation, Tolerance,

Jumping.

Air Skills: Running, Stealth, Piloting,

Riding, Thievery, Acrobatics.

Fire Skills: Infiltration, Perception,

Medicine, Survival, Technology, Wisdom.

Water Skills: Willpower, Bluff, Handle

Animal, Charisma, Performance, Magic.

The Skill details are in pages 16 and 17.

6. Acquire your Abilities

Each Job offers Core Abilities and

Specialties. A character acquires all Core

Abilities he qualifies for, and may select

one Specialty for each of his Core Abilities,

if he met the required Stat levels. For

more details on Abilities, check the next

chapter, starting at page 20.

7. Buy your Starting Equipment

During character creation, each player can

spend 200 Gil in equipment and items. It

is recommended that you buy at least one

weapon for your starting character. More

details on wealth and equipment may be

found on the Wealth and Items Chapter,

starting at page 77.

Game Setup - Page 10

8. Finishing Touches

Calculate your HP by adding your Earth

value to your Job HP bonus and your MP

by adding your Water value to your Job

MP bonus using your Job's guidelines.

Don't forget to flesh out the character

concept using all the cues you've been

collecting thus far (Traits, Quirks, Jobs,

Skills, etc). Take notes on your character

backstory, motivations, personality and

appearance, as that may help you roleplay

your character to its fullest potential.

JB wants to create a cute-but-dangerous

Geodancer moogle. So he begins with his name, of

course JBMog, and looks at his Group's Traits. The

Returners, as his group calls itself, have the Nemesis

(Empire), People's Hero and Sense of Duty (Banon)

traits. JBMog doesn't like that Banon guy, so he decides

to have the Nemesis (The Empire) and People's Hero

Traits. To round it up, he fetches one last trait: Protégé

(Narshe Mines): He'll fight to protect his people at the

Narshe mines.

Looking at the Quirks, he quickly comes with a

good idea of his character: The Moogle

is mandatory for

him, but the Feral and Fast Quirks also round up his

character. All in all, he's a quick moogle who loves

animal company, but he's a tad shy in human lands.

Then, he notes his jobs. Druid is a quick choice,

for a Geomancer character, but he takes a minute to

ponder about Secondary Jobs. After some debate, he

ends up choosing Fencer to focus on the defense.

Next, the Stats. With his 200 XP, and looking at

the stats, he decide to make Fire his primary stat,

spending 90 XP on that one. This nets him Fire 30, as

shown in the experience table. Then, he proceeds to put

10 XP in Water and 40 XP in Earth - bringing these

Stats to 10 and 20, respectively. The last 60 XP he

proceeds to put in Air, granting him Air 24. His levels

are Earth 2, Air 2, Fire 3 and Water 1. With these

scores, his character level is 8 (2+2+3+1). For Skills, he

decide to grab Perception and Performance.

As for Abilities, he notes down the first level

Core Abilities:

Nature's Path

and

Awakened

(Geomancer)

from the Druid, and

Block Projectiles

from

the Fencer. Due to his Stats, he also chooses a Specialty:

Nature Warrior (Polearms)

, because whats better than a

Polearm-wielder Moogle? He hasn't leveled up enough

to get other Specialties, so he goes to Equipment.

Being a Nature Warrior, he proceeds to get the

heaviest armor around - a Leather Plate (99 Gil) – and

an Iron Spear (63 Gil). With the remaining Gil he buys

a Tonic (25 Gil) and pockets the remaining money (13

Gil). Finally, he does his HP (level x3 = 8x3 = 24 + earth

(20) totals 44 HP) and MP (level x2 = 8x2 = 16 + water

(10) totals 26) calculations.

So his character sheet is done! Let's see how it is:

JBMog, 8th level Druid/Fencer

Stat Level Value XP Spent

Earth 2 20 40

Air 2 24 60

Fire 3 30 90

Water 1 10 10

Skills: Perception 1 and Performance 1.

Traits & Quirks: Nemesis (The Empire), People's Hero,

Protégé (Narshe Mines); Moogle, Feral and Fast.

HP 44/44; MP 26/26; ARM 3; MARM 0

Equipment: Iron Spear (Air vs Earth, 6 damage), Leather

Plate

Abilities: Nature's Path [Nature Warrior]; Awakened

(Geomancer); Block Projectiles

Actions: !Geomancy, !Arrow Guard

Game Setup - Page 11

Character Options

Quirks

Quirks are characteristics that define your

character's personality and/or backstory. They

give the player some tips on how to roleplay their

character, and are a tool both to earn Destiny

Points and to use them. Some Quirk also got a

keyword. You may not have more than one quirk

with the same keyword, so you can't be Caustic

and Empathic at the same time. And absolutely no

Half-Viera/Half-Elvaan, please!

Destiny Points are a shared group

resource that may be used to give the players

some control in the narrative. They may be used

to turn a failed Challenge into a successful one, to

give tips and directions, to perform heroic actions

that surpass human capacity and even to cheat

death, among various other uses. Details on how

to earn and how to spend Destiny Points are on

the Game Engine Chapter, starting at page 103.

Quirk List

Arrogant: You don’t back off from

challenges and don’t submit to the will of others.

people of biped

lizard men. They

are as tall as

humans, but

significantly

stronger and

scales. You may use

Destiny Points due to your great strength,

leathery skin and high strength to overcome

physical Challenges. However, your race has a

terrible vision and it is not uncommon for Bangaa

to cover their eyes to focus only on hearing and

smell. Although you can still see, but the lack of

an accurate vision may cause you problems, and if

that happens, earn Destiny Points.

Bottomless Pockets: You usually have

everything always at hand. Spend Destiny Points

to find things you did not expect, as that wrench

you were just looking for! However, sometimes

you simply won’t find something you were sure

that were with you. When this causes you

may use Destiny Points to intimidate or otherwise

impose your will on others. You receive Destiny

problems, granting you Destiny points.

Compulsive Liar (honesty): For some

Whenever this causes you problems, earn Destiny

Points.

towering, Elvaan are known

for their prominent pointed

ears, often stretching ten to

fifteen centimeters to the

lack of attention to other matters causes you

problems.

the moment you want, and if this causes you

problems, earn Destiny Points.

Destiny Points to telekinetically manipulate

objects, as well as air, earth and water, performing

Whenever this cause you problems, earn Destiny

Points.

similar to a humanoid cat, usually white in color,

Character Options - Page 13

antenna on his head ending in

a red ball (pompom). Their

ears are similar to those of a

cat or a dog. Despite having

wings, they can't fly, but their

pompoms gives almost

telepathic abilities with other

moogle, building what some

scholars call Mognet. You may

spend Destiny Points to gather

information or send messages through Mognet to

other moogle. However, their spoken language

heavily depends on the kupo word, which can

have several meanings depending on the

intonation and body movements. Because of this,

communication with other races is full of

misunderstandings. Whenever this causes you

problems, earn Destiny Points.

Naive Idealist: You see life through the

lens of a personal code of conduct, or some

religious fanaticism, or an ideological utopia.

Either way, you're very attached to that ideals,

and you can draw strength from them. The details

incredible odds when adhering to it. However,

you're gullible and easily manipulable, as your

ideals may be used to cause you problems,

earning you Destiny Points.

Natural Hunter (animal): You feel more

comfortable away from civilization. Forests are

your second home. You can use Destiny Points to

hunt, seek shelter and track in natural

environments. However, you are already so used

to kill animals that they avoid you and feel

uncomfortable around you. If this causes you

problems, earn Destiny points.

Nu Mou (racial): They have similarities

with dogs, with elongated snouts, furry tails and

big, floppy, ears. Their

short stature, around a

meter and a half tall, and

their tendency to a

stooped posture, cause

them to be very small.

They have a fragile

constitution, but they are

very intelligent and tend to live three times more

than normal humans. You may use Destiny Points

in situations involving patience, common sense

and obscure knowledge, especially magical

knowledge. They are also slow and not very

athletic. Whenever this causes you problems,

earn Destiny Points.

Paranoid: You're always aware of the

dangers that can arise at any time. Spend Destiny

Points to perceive things that only your keen

senses may notice. However, you suspect

everyone and everything, and if this causes you

problems, earn Destiny Points.

Roegadyn (racial): Also known as Galka,

this race with slightly

ursine appearance has

huge bodies, often over

two meters tall. Despite

their great strength and

power, they are

renowned for self-

knowledge and phlegm.

You may use Destiny

Points in situations

involving self-control and

great physical strength.

But often their overly calm attitude may look like

apathy or simply laziness. Whenever this causes

you problems, earn Destiny Points.

straight arrow, rarely lie and got a reputation for

honesty. You may spend Destiny Points to make

people believe and trust you. Earn Destiny points

whenever your honesty causes you problems.

Uncommon Beauty: You are very

beautiful and can use your beauty to attract

attention and get good impressions. You may use

would feel attracted to you. Whenever your

beauty causes you problems, earn Destiny Points.

Viera (racial):

The Viera have two sub-

races. The most common

live in temperate forests

and has long rabbit ears,

but there is a sub-race

that lives in tropical

jungles and has feline

characteristics rather

than rabbit’s. This sub-

breed is commonly called

Mithra or Miqo'te.

Regardless of the sub-

race, they are mostly

female, with males being only about twenty

Character Options - Page 14

percent of the population. Moreover, they are

closely linked to the forests and jungles where

they live. You may use Destiny Points to

communicate with trees, although their cognitive

ability is very limited. On the other hand, you feel

extremely uncomfortable in urban environments,

and can even become ill if you stay away from the

natural environment for a long time. Whenever

this causes you problems, earn Destiny Points.

Visions: For some reason, you have

visions that can give you tips of the future or just

torture you. Spend Destiny Points for good

visions and earn Destiny Points when flashbacks

cause you trouble.

You may also want to create your own

Quirks. Choose a trait that defines your

character and talk with your GM to turn into a

Quirk. However, there are three guidelines that

should be followed. First, a Quirk must be able

to provide the player ways to spend Destiny

Points to overcome Challenges; second, a quirk

must be able to provide the GM ways to create

problems for the group; and lastly, a quirk may

not influence tactical combat rolls.

Stats and Skills

Characters have four Stats, each

connected to a crystal - Earth, Air, Fire and Water.

Each Stat has a value and levels. For every 10

points in its value, the Stat earns another level.

Stat's value vary from 0 to 255 and, consequently,

between 0 and 25 levels. The sum of a character’s

Stat levels is his Character level.

For example, a 30

level character may

have Earth 52 (5

level), Air 108 (10

level), Fire

80 (8

level) and Water 75 (7

level). Each Stat

has 6 skills associated to it. The sum of all Skill

levels a character have in all skills linked to a

particular Stat may not be higher than its Stat

level. Thus, the above character have 10 points to

spend in all skills, but may not spend more than 5

points in Earth skills, no more than 8 points in

Fire skills and no more than 7 points in Water

Skills.

Stats are also used in the tactical combat

system. Each roll in combat uses one Offensive

and one Defensive Stat. Earth is usually the

Offensive Stat for attacks that depends on the

user's brute force and physicality, and is the

Defensive Stat to attacks that may be prevented

by the defender's physical strength, health and

muscle power.

Attacks that rely on the user's speed,

finesse and skill use Air as its Offensive Stat. It is

the Defensive Stat against attacks that may be

evaded by the defender's reflexes and agility. A

primarily Offensive Stat, Fire is used in attacks

that rely on the user's intelligence and magical

ability. If an attack may be avoided by the

defender's insight, it uses Fire as it Defensive Stat.

Lastly, attacks that depends on the user's

charisma and willpower to hit uses Water as its

Offensive Stat. However, it is a mainly Defensive

Stat, as attacks that may be resisted by the user's

mental strength and magical defenses should use

it. Besides its offense and defense implications,

players should note that your Earth Value is

added to your hit points (HP) and your Water

value is added to your magic points (MP) value.

Character Options - Page 15

Stats are increased using experience

points. The cost to increase a Stat's value by a

single point is one plus twice the Stat level. Thus,

an Stat costs 1 experience point per Stat point

while at level 0 (value from 0 to 9); 3 experience

points per Stat point while at level 1 (value 10 to

19); 5 XP per Stat point while at level 2 (value 20

to 29); and so on. Starting on page 121, there is a

table with the total XP cost for each Stat value.

Skills

Skills are tools that the characters have to

overcome Challenges. Each Challenge must relate

to a Skill. Each Skill level means the player may

re-roll once a Challenge related to that Skill. For

example, a character with 3 levels in Strength

Skill can re-roll the d100 3 times to overcome

Strength Challenges.

Earth Skills involve brute strength,

toughness, physical prowess and bulk. A

character's Earth level is his limit to spend

points in Strength, Climbing, Swimming,

Intimidation, Tolerance or Jumping.

Air Skills involve movement, finesse and

body coordination. A character's Air level is

his limit to spend points in Running, Stealth,

Piloting, Riding, Thievery or Acrobatics.

Fire Skills involve intelligence, knowledge

and wisdom. A character's Fire level is his

limit to spend points in Infiltration,

Perception, Medicine, Survival, Technology

or Wisdom.

Water Skills involve willpower and

charisma. A character's Water level is his

limit to spend points in Willpower, Bluff,

Handle Animal, Charisma, Performance or

Jobs

Job and Secondary Job. Your Main Job determines

your HP and MP bonuses, and the type of gear

active Abilities, giving you different tools to

contribute in your Group, be it offensively,

defensively or by supporting the team. Secondary

Jobs provide reactions, increase your gear

selection and can provide several other abilities

to cover up for your weaknesses or to exploit

your strong points.

Each job has a number of Core and

Specialty Abilities. Core Abilities are gained by all

characters with that Job, as soon as they have the

necessary character levels. Specialty Abilities are

optional choices; each character can choose one

Specialty, the character can no longer "forget it"

or exchange it for another.

These ranks, are, however, just an approximation

of each Job's Abilities. If you want to build your White

Mage as an offensive character, go ahead! Also, they do

not cover each possible interaction between all Main and

Secondary Jobs. An Archer/Rune Knight plays and feels

different in battle than an Archer/Phalanx, for example.

So don't worry about choosing the “right classes” – just

pick up the ones you'd like to play and you'll surely will

find good Abilities to use. Also, keep in mind that the

only thing your Job influences is your combat ability –

you have no roleplaying or character concept limitation

due to your Job.

most Final Fantasy games. Even in games where no

character could actually summon them, like the original

Final Fantasy, Summoned Monsters appeared to guide

and help the party.

As a GM, use these Summoned Monster list as a

guideline. Use the ones that do fit into your campaign

setting. And do not be shy about creating your own

Summoned Monsters! You don't even need to create its

Call effects if there is no Summoner in the party. And if

there is one, use these ones as inspiration to create

yours!

Geotrance

High level Geomancers can use their

powers to conjure effects even when not in the

correct terrain. To do this, use the terrain wheel:

Plains <> Forest <> Mountain <> Snow <> Sea <>

Swamp <> Urban <> Underground <> Lava <>

Desert <> Plains. When using Geotrance, you

choose which terrain you will conjure and, for

each "step" away in the terrain wheel, apply a

cumulative -10 penalty in the geomancy roll to

find out which effect will be cast. For example, a

character in a Swamp wants use a Lava effect. He

rolls 1d100 + level -30 (Swamp> Urban:-10 >

Underground:-20 > Lava:-30) to determine if the

effect will be Minor, Major or Superior. Similarly, if

the character is in a Forest and wants a Desert

effect, he will roll 1d100 + level -20 (Forest>

Plain:-10> Desert:-20). Cosmic is out of the

terrain wheel and can’t be used with Geotrance. If

the Geomancer is in a Cosmic terrain, it may use

Geotrance to any other terrain with a -20 penalty.

Mimicry

Unlike the other performances, a mimicry

can be Quick or Slow, Ranged or Melee, physical

or magical actions. When using a mimicry to

repeat an action of another character, the

performance repeats all the action’s

characteristics. In addition, you should spend all

the necessary resources to use the action, be it an

item, HP or MP. Furthermore, depending on the

performance, it may even be a reaction or even

not an action at all, simply modifying the effects

of other actions. If the mimicked action was a

weapon attack, you attack with your own

weapon.

Mimic is a level 1 mimicry. This action

may only be used if the action performed this

round immediately before your turn was carried

out by an ally. You repeat the ally’s action, with

the same target.

Mirror Mimic is a level 1 mimicry. This

action may only be used if the action performed

this round immediately before your turn was

conducted by an enemy. You repeat the enemy’s

action, with the same target. You may target the

enemy who performed the action, instead of the

original target.

Memory Mimic is a level 2 mimicry. You

repeat an ally’s action, with the same target. You

may only repeat actions that were carried out in

this round.

Character Options - Page 75

Reflex Mimic is a level 2 mimicry. This

reaction can only be used when you and at least

one ally are targeted by the same attack. If the ally

conducts a reaction, be it successful or not, you

perform the same reaction.

Color Splash is a level 3 mimicry. When

you use any mimicry to create an effect that deals

Fire, Ice, Lightning, Bio, Light, Shadow, Air, Water

or Earth-elemental damage, you may swap the

action’s element for another element of this list.

Sketch is a level 3 mimicry. You repeat an

enemy’s action, with the same target. You may

target the enemy who performed the action,

instead of the original target. This may repeat any

actions that were taken in this combat.

Target Mimic is a level 4 mimicry. When

you use any level 3 or lower mimicry, you can

freely choose the action’s targets.

Final Mimic is a level 4 mimicry. When you

are reduced to 0 HP for any reason, you may,

before falling unconscious, discard an initiative

die to repeat the action that befell you, targeting

the ally or enemy that performed the action. The

discarded initiative die may have any value.

Command Mimic is a level 5 mimicry. Once

per combat, before the start of first round, as a

free action, you may choose an Ability of any ally.

You gain the chosen Ability until the combat’s

end. The chosen Ability does not have any effect

on your maximum HP and MP, neither on the

weapons and armor you may equip.

Take Over is a level 5 mimicry. Perform a

Water vs Water attack, difficulty 70. If successful,

inflict the Stop status on a target until the end of

next round. While it remains under the Stop

status, you may use your actions to force it to use

one of its actions, targeting characters of your

choice. If you perform any actions before the end

of the next round, the target loses the Stop status.

Wealth and Items

Gil is the currency present in most Final

Fantasy games. Depending on how

technologically advanced is the world, it can take

many forms: gold coins, paper money, checks,

planetary credit... Regardless of Gil’s actual

format, it will be an abstraction for monetary

values.

Gil is a character reward as important as

experience. Many Jobs take into account not only

the Stat levels, but also the character’s equipment

and items to measure their power. Depriving an

Archer, for example, of a suitable weapon can

make the character feel extremely weak in

comparison to a Mage. Imagine an Alchemist who

don’t even have an item to use? Gil is such an

important reward that there is a Job dedicated to

it: the Rogue.

Mundane Items

And how much does a mundane item

cost? How many feet of rope, how many torches,

how many sleeping bags a character has or may

possess? The answer has to do directly with the

economy of a Final Fantasy world: mundane

items are free.

Everything that costs Gil refers to combat.

All other items should be designed according to

the context and the Challenges and Destiny

system, present in the next chapter, starting at

page 103. Mundane items are a tool for the Game

Master to use in drama; never, in any game in the

series, they were important, unless the situation

said so. If you sense that your character should

have a torch, he will. If it is important that your

character does not have a torch, he will not. If you

are unsure, use a Challenge. Maybe the

Bottomless Pockets Quirk may help.

This does not mean that the characters

have access to everything. For example, an

aircraft, although not combat-related, and

therefore a "mundane item", is not available to

the characters, unless the Game Master decides

so. Players can’t simply demand to own

something simply because the item is mundane,

and therefore "free", as our example aircraft. Use

that desire to create an adventure – or a small

campaign arc, perhaps - and then give them the

aircraft. Use the acquisition of the aircraft to

support the history, and not as an accounting

exercise.

That's the spirit of mundane items:

something that helps you tell a story, not an

exercise to prepare the best shopping list.

Nothing prevents, however, NPCs to pay big bucks

for a mundane item. In fact, some wealthy

patrons might be willing to pay good sums of Gil

for a frame, or a jewel, or a miniaturized reactor

that have no value for player characters. Go

figure!

Acquiring Gil

You can earn Gil in many ways. As a

mission’s reward; as spoils after the defeat of

enemies; in chests or otherwise scattered in

dungeons; by selling items; among other

possibilities. During character creation, each

player can spend 200 Gil in equipment and items.

After this, it is recommended that for each

experience point gained by the character, he

should gain 8 Gil. This amount of Gil is enough to

keep up with the proper equipment to their level

and to buy sufficient healing and battle items.

However, the Game Master may adjust this

amount, increasing or decreasing it, to the reality

of the gameplay.

Use spoils as a way randomize a bit the Gil

rewards. In every combat encounter, assign one

or more items as enemy’s booty. At the end of

combat, after winning it, the group will roll a

d100 against a set difficulty. If the die result is

greater than the difficulty, they get the item(s)

marked as spoils. When including spoils, multiply

its value and the chance to earn it: the result is

the spoils’ real value, which should be deducted

from the encounter total. For example, if the

Game Master decide that an encounter shall give

two thousand and five hundred Gil as reward, and

include a Desert Ring (worth 1,000 Gil) as spoils,

with difficulty 40 (and hence 60% chance of

being obtained ), it must deduct the value of six

hundred Gil (60% of 1,000). Thus, the group will

receive 1,900 Gil and may earn a Desert Ring (or

Character Options - Page 77

not).

Game Master, do not be afraid to include

spoils in your game and use its randomness. In

the above example, regardless of whether they

got the Desert Ring or not, consider they received

the 2,500 Gil. In the long run, the characters’

power will be the same. However, items with

100% chance of being obtained count as normal

reward, not as spoils. In the previous example, the

Game Master could decide that, besides the

chance to gain the Desert Ring, the fight would

grant two Hi-Potion (150 Gil each). Thus, the

combat reward would be 1,600 Gil, two Hi-Potion

and the spoils (Desert Ring, difficulty 40). Finally,

remember that items’ sales price is half their

purchase cost.

Gil and the Rogue

Early in the game, the Rogue earns an

Ability that directly influences the acquisition of

Gil. Gilionaire, Steal and Treasure Hunter are ways

in which the Rogue increases the amount of Gil

available for the group. This translates into better

and stronger items more quickly than compared

with a rogueless group. However, the three skills

work differently and require a different

preparation from the Game Master.

Gilionaire is the simplest of them.

Whenever the group receives a Gil reward, for any

reason, increase by 25% the Rogue’s share. For

example, a group of four players defeat a monster

and the Game Master says the monster’s horns

are valuable and can be sold for a total of 4,000

Gil. But if there is a Rogue with this Ability in the

group, his share (1,000 Gil) increased by 25% - to

1,250 Gil. Thus, when selling the horns, the group

collects 4,250 Gil, not 4,000. Similarly, people are

willing to pay more for the same service, and the

chests are inexplicably bigger. Gilionaire is always

active, and it is the least risky way to increase Gil

received.

Treasure Hunter is the second way the

Rogue can increase the group’s wealth. At the end

of combat, when the group trying to gain spoils,

the Rogue can roll the die again, increasing the

chance or even giving him the opportunity to gain

double spoils. Compared with Gilionaire, Treasure

Hunter active in less time because it only allows

the Rogue to improve the spoils received and

does not affect other Gil gains, but can provide

more significant bonuses when it works by

handing items that may be crucial when the

group simply does not have the time to find a

merchant in a safe place.

Steal is the last way the Rogue has to

increase the group’s wealth. It also demands a

special preparation by the Game Master. When

creating a combat encounter, the GM must decide

which are the Common item and the Rare item

that every enemy will have. This is only required

if there is a Rogue with Steal in the group. It is not

mandatory that each enemy must have both

items; it may have only the Common item, only

the Rare item, or even neither. Regardless, each

enemy can only be stolen once. If the character

tries to steal again an enemy who already

suffered the effects of !Steal, it automatically fails.

The definition of which item(s) the enemy

will have does not depend on the enemy's ability

to use, equip or even physically carry the item;

often, characters in Final Fantasy steal swords or

even full armor suits from unsuspecting enemies

like dragons or chocobos. Compared to Gilionaire

or Treasure Hunter, Steal is the most expensive

and riskiest action – it costs actions in combat

and is more likely to fail - but it must be the most

rewarding, especially if the Rogue obtain the Rare

item. In addition, the stolen items go to the

inventory and are available for immediate use,

even within the combat.

Regardless of how the Rogue earn this

extra Gil, the group shall not be punished for

having a Rogue. Rogues with Gilionaire should

earn on average 10 Gil per experience point, and

Rogues with the other Abilities could earn even

more, depending on their rolls. The Game Master

must resist the temptation to give smaller

rewards to its players because "The Rogue will

steal a difference."

Equipment

Equipment is the main use for Gil. Each

character can equip exactly one weapon and

armor, plus two accessories. In the case of

weapons and armor, they are divided into

categories. Light, Medium and Heavy are the

Armor categories. Weapons can be classified as

Light Swords / Knives, Heavy Weapons & Shield,

Heavy Weapons, Polearms, Claws / Gloves, Twin

Weapons, Bows, Throwing Weapons, Rifle /

Crossbows, Staffs, Wands and Instruments.

The character’s Abilities indicate which

weapons and armor they may equip. If a

character wishes to equip a weapon that he may

not, it doesn’t add his Offensive Stat to any roll or

attack; If a character wishes to equip an armor

that he may not, he doesn’t consider his Defensive

Stat in opponents’ rolls or attacks.

All equipment have a minimum level to be

used, and most have a Gil cost. The items that do

not have Gil costs are so rare that there are only a

few copies of each in the world or artifacts so

hard to be found that have at most one, maybe

two copies worldwide. Rare and artifact items

should be given at the GM’s discretion.

Armor

Armors are the main defensive

equipment. Although some specific armor can

empower attacks, their main function is to reduce

the damage suffered. All armor pieces have two

characteristics: Armor(ARM) and Magic

Armor(MARM). Every time you suffer physical

damage, decrease the damage by an amount

equal to your ARM. Every time you suffer magical

damage, decrease the damage by an amount

equal to your MARM.

For example, a character with MARM 21

suffers a magical attack dealing 46 damage. He

loses 25 HP due to his magical protection.

Regardless of ARM and MARM values and the

damage dealt, every successful attack that deals

damage causes a minimal loss of 1 HP. As it

takes some time to don an armor suit, it is

impossible to equip or change armor in combat.

Weapons

Weapons are the main offensive

equipments. Unlike armor, which are very similar,

weapons are quite different from each other. Each

weapon has an Offensive Stat and a Defensive

Stat. When you use the !Attack or any other

action who needs a “weapon attack”, you attack

using the equipped weapon’s Offensive and

Defensive Stats, and deal damage based on its

Offensive Stat, unless the action says otherwise.

For example, Flamberge’s (a Light Sword / Knife)

damage is equal to 10 x. As its Offensive Stat is

Air, the damage will be equal to ten times your Air

level.

In addition, the attack and damage type

(physical or magical), the element (usually Cut,

Puncture or Crush), and if the attack is Ranged or

Melee, all depends on the equipped weapon.

Many weapons also have special effects.

All effects that modify the weapon’s attack or

damage only work with the !Attack action, unless

the action says otherwise. The exceptions to this

rule are all effects that increase damage by some

Stat level, like the Colichemarde. Actions that key

off weapon damage use the damage increased by

the special effect.

Character Options - Page 83

Light Swords / Knives

Fast weapons that deal Puncture-elemental physical damage. Its Offensive and Defensive Stats

are Air. Due to its weak damage, they are a defensive option. While you are equipped with these

weapons, you can use the reaction !Parry. Use it when you suffer a physical attack. Roll Air vs Air,

difficulty 40. If successful, you don’t suffer the attack's effects. These weapons are always Melee.

Acessories

Each character can equip up to two

accessories at the same time. However, the

equipment’s magic interferes with each other.

Thus, if two accessories, or an accessory and

another piece of equipment or even a weapon

and armor have the same effect, they won’t stack,

and only the most powerful item will affect you.

Similarly, if a character equip three or more

accessories, its effects will cancel each other, and

the character will not receive the benefits of any

of them. If, for example, a character equip the

Wyglar armor (+ 20% Max HP) and the Orrachea

Armlet (+ 10% Max HP), the HP increases will be

20%, instead of 30%.

Moreover, two distinct equipments impart

opposite effects, the negative effect will prevail.

For example, if a character is equipped with an

accessory granting Mute immunity and an armor

with SOS-Mute, the character will be immune to

the Mute status while his current HP is over 25%

of his max HP, but while his current HP is equal or

less than 25% of its max HP, he will suffer the

Mute status and lose his immunity.

Although it may seem simple, equipping

an accessory requires the character to spend at

least a few minutes focusing on its magic. Thus, it

is impossible to equip or change accessories in

the middle of a combat.

Inventory

All items the group possess who are not

equipped on a character are part of the Inventory.

In addition to spare equipment, the Inventory

contain consumables, such as potions, elixirs and

battle items. The Inventory is a group shared

resource, such as Destiny points. Thus, if the

group has a potion in the Inventory, any character

in the group may use the !Draw action to retrieve

it. Consumables are spent after one use.

Every group should devote a part of the

obtained Gil to purchase consumables for the

Inventory. Even for groups capable of emulating

all consumable effects through Spells and

Abilities, you never know when the White Mage

will drop to 0 HP and the Archer will need to use

a Phoenix Down.

Not having an Inventory suitable to the

challenges ahead is a sure way to shorten the

group's lifespan. Having the right items to use

when the occasion requires it can dramatically

increase the group’s combat ability. Another

advantage in favor of consumables is that they do

not have minimum levels to be used, allowing a

group to gain powers beyond the usual in dire

circumstances.

Optional Rule: Individual Inventory

Some groups do not like the shared

Inventory rule. In that case, you may play with

each character having its own individual items.

If you use this rule, any character may use !Draw

to draw an item from his own inventory and give

to another player with a single action, but the

player who received the item still have to use the

!Item action to use the consumable or equip the

weapon.

Optional Rule: Carrying Capacity

By default, there is no limit about how

many items a character or a group may carry.

This mimics the videogames and allows for

quicker play. However, if you do want to enforce

carrying limits when using the aforementioned

Individual Inventory rule, treat the maximum

number of consumables a character may carry as

two times his Earth level. Alchemists use their

highest Stat level instead of Earth to calculate

how many items they can carry.

If you want to enforce the Carrying

Capacity rule with the default Shared Inventory

option, consider the group's total carrying limit

as the sum of each character's individual

carrying capacity.

Characters carrying more items than their

carrying capacity suffer increased difficulty in all

their attacks, reactions and physical Challenges.

Game Engine

Challenges

During a FFRPG 4

Edition adventure, the

characters will face challenges created by the GM

to succeed in their goals. A Challenge is a

situation within the game, which has, necessarily,

the following three characteristics:

a) Failure and success chance. A Challenge

must have a chance to fail and a chance to

succeed. Walking on the flat and solid ground is

not a Challenge, as it does not have chance of

failure; walking in the air is also not a Challenge,

because it has no chance of success. Walking on a

rope in a cliff may be a challenge because it has

chance of failure and success.

b) Punishment for failure. A Challenge

must have a punishment for the failure, although

it may be retried. This punishment for the failure

may simply deny the characters the success’

reward. An attempt to open a locked door, using

picks and thief’s tools is not a challenge if the

character can keep trying again any number of

times to get the door open, but may be a

challenge if the room is filling with acid or if the

lock breaks after the first attempt.

c) Storytelling impact. A Challenge must

have a significant impact on the story. Riding a

chocobo has chance of failure and success, and

has a punishment for failing (the fall). But in a 10-

day trip riding a chocobo to journey between two

cities, the way the character will ride does not

have a significant enough impact on the story to

become a Challenge. However, if the character

runs away from a desert castle on fire being

chased by bad guys in giant robots, the way he

rides can indeed be a Challenge.

To create a Challenge, the Game Master should

indicate what is the Challenge’s Skill and what is

its difficulty. The Challenge’s difficulty is its

failure chance. Thus, the GM decides what is the

Challenge’s failure chance, indicated by a number

between 1 (one) and 99 (ninety nine). For a

character succeed in this Challenge, his player

must roll 1d100 (a 100-sided dice or two 10-

sided die, one representing the tens and the other

the unit) and the die roll should be greater than

the established difficulty. For example, if the GM

establishes as 30 the difficulty of a challenge, the

player must understand that he has 30% chance

of failing, and consequently 70% chance of

success.

When you fail in a Challenge, if you have

the appropriate Skill, you may re-roll it. For each

level in that Skill, you may re-roll the d100 once.

If a character re-rolls a Challenge, always use the

second roll, even if worse than the first.

A player may always forfeit a Challenge. If

he does, his character automatically fails. Notice

that this does NOT means the character wants to

fail. A character may still try very hard to achieve

a forfeited Challenge but will fail nonetheless.

When a player choose to forfeit a Challenge, he

may describe how his character fails.

Optional Rule: General Acumen

The game assumes that Stats have no

direct relation with the character's capabilities,

so an character with high Earth and no Strength

Skill is not strong. Some groups prefer to have

Stats with a greater impact on challenge. If you

use this optional rule, add the Stat Level to the

result of all Challenge rolls linked to that Stat's

Skills .

Game Engine - Page 103

Destiny

Destiny is what distinguishes true heroes

and villains from ordinary people. They are a

representation of heroism and a tool for sharing

the game's narrative. The Destiny Points are a

Group shared currency; so when a player earns

Destiny Points, they add it to the Group’s Destiny

Points; when he spends Destiny Points, these

points are deducted from the Group's total.

Earning Destiny Points

There are many ways a character may

earn Destiny Points. The main one is through the

character's Quirks. In all Quirks, there are ways in

which they create problems and force Challenges,

hindering the character’s ability to achieve its

goals.

The GM should provide one Destiny Point

for the Group when problems arising from the

Quirk create a Challenge that the characters have

to overcome in order to avoid serious

consequences; two Destiny Points if the problems

causing is three or more concurrent or sequential

Challenges that have to be overcome to prevent

serious problems; or three Destiny Points if the

characters cannot avoid the disastrous

consequences of the problem caused by Quirk.

In addition, the Game Master may grant

Destiny Points whenever the Group achieves a

significant goal or according to the story. Also, the

Game Master may give a Destiny Point to force a

player to re-roll a Challenge, even against his will.

Lastly, whenever a player choose to forfeit

a Challenge related to one of his Quirks and the

forfeited Challenge creates significant problems

for the group, give him a Destiny Point. Do not

give a Destiny Point if the forfeited Challenge has

none or little significative story impact.

Spending Destiny Points

Destiny Points can be spent in various

ways. The list below summarizes these forms.

With Quirks

There are two ways of spending Destiny

Points with Quirks. By spending one point, the

player can add 20 to a Challenge's d100 result if it

is related to the Quirk, or the player may add 40

by spending two points.

The player may also wish to spend three

points. If he does, the player can declare

automatic success on any Challenge related with

its Quirk.

Thus, a character with the Brute Quirk can

use Destiny Points to add 20 or 40 to the d100

result, or even to automatically succeed in most

Strength Challenges, but is unlikely to do the

same in a Running Challenge. These points must

be spent after rolling the die.

This rule only affects Challenges and may

not be used in attack or reaction rolls during

combat.

Feat of Heroism

A character may spend four Destiny

points to perform feats of heroism that exceed the

normal limits of human capacity. The key word

here is heroism: Holding a house that would

collapse on helpless children with the power of

your muscles, disarming a bomb that would

explode the city in the last minute, jumping from

a height of twenty meters to hold on to a rope and

climb to the villain’s helicopter, and so on.

A feat of heroism is always successful,

even if the character does not have any applicable

Quirk. After a feat of heroism, the master can’t

continue the narrative with a "no", but at most

with a "yes, but ...". "Yes, you hold the house and

prevent it from falling on the orphans, but you

can’t hold it more than five minutes and someone

will have to get them out of there!" is a good

answer to a feat of heroism.

Game Engine - Page 104

Getting Clues

For one Destiny Point, the players can get

a clue or a hint from the GM on a problem. The

easiest way to do this is to have an nondescript

citizen say an one-liner like "Don Tonberry hate

smoke!" or "You can’t cross the Lethe river

swimming" and then immediately disappear to

where it came from. Characters with relevant

Traits may also spend a Destiny Point to acquire

relevant clues about their field of expertise.

Divine Intervention

By spending 7 Destiny Points, a character

can dictate the outcome of an event or include

things in the world. This divine intervention can

only be invoked to save character(s) from an

extremely dangerous situation or to increase the

scene’s drama, but never to generate an

anticlimax.

Dictating that "The Shadow Lord is

overcome with grief and decides to kill himself" is

not an acceptable intervention, but saying that

"When the group is surrounded and everyone is

about to fall into the abyss, a group of giant eagles

comes and grabs the characters, flying them

away" is a possible intervention.

If you use divine intervention when your

character is dying, in a way that the character

does not avoid his death, costs 4 Destiny Points

instead of 7. Remember that using divine

intervention by 4 points means the character will

surely die at the end of intervention, and nothing

that the characters can do will avoid this (except

Cheat Death, below).

Cheat Death

For 10 Destiny Points, a player can restore

a dead character to life or otherwise escape from

something that surely would kill him. This

"resurrection" is never immediate; the character

will always come back only after everyone has

already given up. Remember also that Cheat

Death does not mean that the character will not

have consequences; he may have broken bones,

health problems and mental disorders that can

leave him at least temporarily incapacitated. The

player must decide how, exactly, the character

survived (or even came back from hell itself).

With Traits

Each trait has a particular way to benefit

from Destiny Point expenditure. They may be

activated by spending one Destiny Point. Check

the Trait list, on page 8, for its description. For

example, a character may spend a Destiny Point

to activate his Protégé Trait and re-roll a

Challenge related to saving his Protégé.

Avoiding Disadvantages

Traits mention ways in which the

character can receive penalties. If this happens,

he must spend Destiny Points to avoid them. An

one point expenditure avoid the creation of a

Challenge that the characters have to overcome in

order to avoid serious consequences; two Destiny

Points avoid problems causing three or more

concurrent or sequential Challenges that the

characters have to overcome to prevent serious

problems; three Destiny Points must be spent to

avoid it if the consequences of the problem

caused by Trait does not need a Challenge to

happen.

Optional Rule: Solving Controversy

When two players cannot agree on

something, just have the two spend any number

of Destiny Points. Whoever spends more points

is right, and the other player is forced to accept

his argument.

Game Engine - Page 105

Combat

Combat is the raison d’etre of many rules

through this book. All rules regarding Jobs, Spells

and Equipment are only tools to be used during

tactical combat. The rules described below turn

combative moments in a simulation that uses all

the concepts discussed so far to present tactical

challenges to the group. Each fight consists of

rounds that follow until one side has fled,

surrendered or been defeated.

Initiative

At the beginning of each round, each

character involved in the fight will roll 3d10 and

record the values. The die roll total is his initiative

and the result of each dice means the character's

actions. After the initiative roll, the round will

continue for 10 phases, starting from phase 1 and

ending in phase 10. The phases happen

sequentially, in ascending order. In phase 1, all

characters who had at least one result "1" in one

of the initiative die may take an action.

If more than one character acts the same

phase, the one with the highest total initiative

acts first. If the characters have the same total

initiative, the one with the greater Air Stat will act

first. After acting, the character discards the

current phase initiative die, reducing his initiative

total. When there are no more characters able to

act in phase 1, the round will move to phase 2 and

so on. After phase 10 ends, the round ends and a

new round begins.

Action Types

Standard Action

A standard action takes place along the

lines described above. The player uses an

initiative die with value equal to the current

phase to act.

Interrupt Action

This action occurs when the character

does not have any initiative dice representing the

current phase. The player may discard any TWO

initiative die to act.

Delayed Action

In this case, the character chooses not to

act at this phase even having an initiative die with

the correct value. He may then postpone the

action to a later phase. The delayed die’s result is

counted for the initiative total at its original value.

A character may not delay more than one action

at the same time.

Free Action

The free action occurs without the

character spending an initiative dice. It occurs at

specific times determined by the rule that creates

it. An example of free action is talking.

Action Speeds

Quick Action

A Quick action occurs when the character

acts. The character discards the initiative dice and

its effects are immediate.

Slow Action

A Slow (X) action implies that the

character must prepare it before performing. He

declares the action as usual, and then spends (X)

phases preparing their action. Only after this time

has elapsed, the action’s effects will happen.

During this preparation time, he may not react or

do any other actions, but may delay their actions.

If he needs to delay more than one action, as he

may not delay more than one action, the extra

actions are lost.

In addition, if the Slow action require you

to prepare your action beyond phase 10, you lose

all initiative die this round and, in the next round,

roll one fewer initiative dice. At the phase when

you finish the preparation, the action’s effects

happen as usual. For example, a character

initiates a Slow (7) action in phase 6. In the next

round, he rolls one fewer initiative dice and in

Phase 3, the action’s effects happen.

Game Engine - Page 106

Reaction

Reactions occur when the character uses

specific abilities. They interrupt other actions,

and must be resolved before the first action’s

effects are applied. In response, the character can

spend an initiative dice with the current phase’s

value, use a delayed action or even perform an

interruption. Some reactions are free actions. A

character may wait to see if an action is successful

or not before declaring his reaction.

Attacks and Rolls in Combat

All rolls in combat (attack rolls, reactions,

Spells, etc) have the following characteristics: One

Offensive Stat, one Defensive Stat and a difficulty.

For example, the !Attack action using a Bow is an

Air(Offensive stat) vs Air (Defensive stat) attack,

difficulty 40. The roll is as follows: The player will

roll 1d100 and add his Offensive Stat’s value. He

will be successful if the result is higher than

difficulty + the target’s Defensive Stat’s value. If

target choose to not resist the action, it is always

successful, unless the action says otherwise.

If the attack is against a group (be it ally’s

or enemy’s), the player must perform only one

roll. After adding the d100 roll to Offensive Stat’s

value, it should compare it separately with the

sum of difficulty + Defensive Stat’s value of each

target, and may be successful against only part of

the opponents.

If the attack deals damage or recover HP

or MP, the d100’s unit digit will be added to the

damage dealt or value healed, unless the attack

says otherwise. Finally, if a character re-rolls an

attack, either because he can re-roll one of his

attacks, or because the target can force his

opponent to re-roll his attacks, this character can

wait until knowing whether the attack would be

successful or not before choosing to re-roll or not.

If a character re-rolls an attack, always use the

second roll, even if worse than the first.

Each attack, except Spells, may be Ranged

or Melee. All Ranged attacks are noted as such;

every non-Ranged attack is Melee. Flying enemies

may not be hit by Melee attacks, unless the

attacker is also Flying. Spells and Reactions aren't

neither Ranged nor Melee, and may target Flying

enemies normally.

Basic Actions and Reactions

All characters can perform the following

actions, regardless of equipment, Job or Abilities.

!Attack

Quick action. If the character is unarmed,

perform an Earth vs Earth attack, difficulty 70.

The damage is physical, Crush-elemental, equal to

Earth level. If it is equipped with a weapon, use

the weapon’s Offensive and Defensive Stats,

difficulty 40, and deal weapon damage. The

Wealth and Items Chapter, above, has more

details about the weapons between pages 83 to

95. This action may score critical hits, dealing

twice damage.

!Dodge

Reaction. Use when suffering a physical

attack. Roll Air vs Earth, difficulty 70. If

successful, you don’t suffer the attack’s effects.

!Draw

Quick action. No roll needed. You draw

and ready a weapon or inventory item to use it.

!Item

Quick action. No roll needed. You use a

drawn item or replace the equipped weapon with

a drawn weapon. In this case, the exchanged

weapon is stored in your inventory as a free

action.

!Flee

Quick action. Roll Air vs Air, difficulty 40.

If successful, you run away from combat. Use the

opponent with the highest Air Stat as the target of

this action.

Critical Hits

Various actions can score critical hits.

Unless the equipped weapon or the Ability says

otherwise, critical hits double the damage. To

score a critical hit, the roll result should be two

identical numbers (100, 99, 88, 77, 66, 55, etc.)

and the attack must be successful. If an action

does not state that it might achieve critical hits,

rolling identical numbers does no extra effect.

Game Engine - Page 107

Elements and Damage

All damage has one element. However, by

itself, the element does not influence the damage,

unless the character who receives the damage

absorbs, or is resistant, immune or vulnerable to

elemental damage. The element list is: CRUSH,

PUNCTURE, CUT, FIRE, ICE, LIGHTNING, AIR,

EARTH, WATER, BIO, LIGHT and SHADOW.

Regardless of the damage dealt, the attack

roll’s d100’s unit digit adds to damage, assuming

0 as 10. If , for example, a character uses an attack

that deals 20 damage and rolls 63 on the attack,

hitting its target, it will deal 23 damage.

Unless the attack says otherwise, all

damage is reduced by the target's Armor, if the

attack is physical, or the target’s Magic Armor, if

the attack is magical. The damage suffered after

reducing by Armor or Magic Armor, if any, is

deducted from the target’s current HP. There is no

penalty for having current HP lower than max HP,

unless current HP is 0. In this case, the character

falls unconscious and may not perform actions

while his HP is lower than 1. Lastly, remember to

always round down.

Various effects may change the damage

dealt. When in doubt, follow the sequence below:

1. Calculate Base Damage

Base damage is calculated by multiplying

the damage factor by the relevant Stat

Level.

2. Apply Action Modifiers

Some actions do 150%, 200%, 75% or

any other modifier to the Base damage.

Multiply this modifier to the Base

Damage.

3. Account for Strenghten and Weaken

Strenghten (Physical or Magic) may

increase the damage by 25%. Weaken

(Physical or Magic) may decrease the

damage by 25%.

4. Add the roll's unit digit

Add the roll's unit digit to the damage,

assuming 0 as 10.

5. Reduce by target's ARM or MARM

Reduce the damage dealt by the enemy's

Armor, if physical, or Magic Armor, if

magical.

6. Apply target's Modifiers

Critical Hits and modifiers like the Shell

and Protect status, any elemental

weakness or resistance, or even some

Action modifiers must be applied after

accounting the enemy's defense.

Dealing damage is the most time-

consuming part of combat. If a group does not

address this problem, it may turn combat into a

tedious math exercise. Some tips to speed it:

First, do steps 1 to 3 before you even land

a blow. Having your damage pre-calculated

works wonders to speed up combat. Instead of

writing your damage as !Jump, (200%) 5x Earth,

note it as !Jump, 80 damage. Also, account for

Strenghten and Weaken as soon as you receive

the status, not when you decide to attack. Try to

do your math while the other players are

describing their actions.

Second, remember that 50% is one half,

and 25% is half of a half. 10% is the number,

ignoring the unit digit. Round down your

calculations to speed them. To find a quarter of

138, for example, halve it first (69) then halve

it again (34). 150% is one plus half; 125% is one

plus a quarter; and 75% is one minus a quarter.

Lastly, try to cancel oposite modifiers,

even if the numbers aren't exactly equal. A !

Mighty Blow or Critical Hit against an enemy

with Protect deals normal weapon damage; If

you use !Kick on a Vulnerable enemy, it also

deals normal weapon damage; and so on. Keep

in mind that speed trumps math accuracy.

Game Engine - Page 108

Healing

After an undisturbed night's sleep, restore

your current HP and MP values to max value. This

happens even to unconscious characters. In other

moments, healing provided by any effects doesn’t

affect unconscious characters, unless its

description specifically says that the effect affects

targets with zero HP. Similarly, an effect that

specifically targets zero HP characters doesn’t

have any effects on a character with current HP

equal to 1 or more.

Optional Rule: Quick Combat Variant

Tactical Combat, as presented in this

chapter, is a deep strategical endeavor that tries

to mimic the video game's combat systems.

However, there are lots of examples where the

group does not want to spend so much time and

effort to use these rules. Maybe the game is not

focused on combat, or maybe there will be so

much combat that using the full rules will grind

things to a halt. Maybe the game will be played

on a slower medium, like Play-by-Post, where

even the simplest tactical combats might take

weeks to happen.

In this case, you might want to use this

variant rule. If you wish to use it, ignore most of

the Character Options chapter: you'll have no

need for Jobs, Abilities, Spells, Equipment or

Status Effects. Your characters might have a Job

or two, but only for flavor.

First, add the following Skills to the Skill

list:

Fencing (Earth): Melee fighting ability.

Including both attacking with melee weapons

and defending against them. May be used in

situations where you have to attack with a melee

weapon or defend yourself from enemies

attacking in close range.

Marksmanship (Air): Ranged fighting

ability. Including both attacking with ranged

weapons and defending against them. May be

used in situations where you have to attack with

a ranged weapon or defend yourself from

enemies attacking with missiles.

Spellcraft (Fire): Magical prowess. Ability

to use magic to enforce your will. May be used

in situations where you want to cast spells and

use your magical power to harm or heal.

Spell Resistance (Water): Magical defense.

Ability to overcome enemy magic. May be used

in situations where you want to dispel enemy

magic or simply resist its effects. Also used to

counterspell.

Second, instead of gaining one Skill point

per 3 character levels, you earn one Skill point

for each character level. You still may not spend

more Skill points in all Skills related to a Stat

than levels you have in that Stat.

Third, each time you re-roll a Challenge

due to using a Skill, you “spend” that Skill level.

This represent physical, mental and emotional

fatigue. Your “spent” Skill levels return once you

have the time to rest 8 hours.

Lastly, there is no specific Combat rules.

To resolve combats, use Challenges appropriate

to the action at hand, using these new Skills or

the core Skills, as situation demands. Unlike the

tactical combat rules, Destiny Points and Quirks

may be used during combat in this variant, as it

is handled by normal Challenge rules.

Later in his adventures, JBMog, now a 30

level

character, was in a dungeon with his friends Rob, a 28

level Warrior/Rune Knight and Nyarly, a 31

level

Adept/Wizard. After an unfortunate failed Challenge

roll, they fell into a trap, activating an iron Golem

guardian.

GM: “Start of Round 1. The creature rolls 1, 3

and 6 as initiative. Roll your initiative!”

JB: “5, 7 and 9. I use my

Preemptive Strike

change the 9 to 1. My initiatives are 1, 5 and 7”!

Rob: “3, 3, and 8. And Nyarly rolled 4, 5, and 10”

GM: “Phase 1. You're first JB, then Golem acts.”

JB: “I'll strike the golem with my lance. I rolled a

61, plus my Air is 148 total. It hits?”

GM: “You try to attack him with your polearm,

but the heavy armor of the golem deflects it (The attack

targets Earth plus dif 40. His value is 112, so he needed

to overcome 152 to hit). He ignores your attacks while

he prepares his own. He starts charging a Slow axe

attack against Nyarly. We begin Phase 2, and his attack

is finished. I roll a 34 (plus his 112 Earth totals 145) for

a total 114 damage (110 damage plus 34's unit digit).”

Nyarly: “Yikes! I will use an interrupt action and

react to use !Will Shield. I spend the 4 and 10 dice. I

rolled a 69, for a total of 149. I made it? (The GM nods,

as !Will Shield have a 10 difficulty and the Golem's

Earth value is only 112.) Nyarly creates a magical shield

that blocks the blow and spends 35 MP (114 minus her

44 Armor is 70 damage. She spends half that MP).”

Rob: “Seems no one got actions in Phase 2, so

I'm acting at phase 3. Seems that his weak spot is Air, so

my first action is to draw my Meteo Knuckle. My

second action (Rob can act before the golem since his

initiative total is 11 and the Golem's is 9) is to use !Item

to stash my Old Axe and equip the gloves.”

GM: “The Golem starts to leak out a strange gas.

It attacks all characters, rusting your equipment! Who

got Water lower than 43 is hit with the Weaken (Armor)

status until the end of the next round.” (The GM rolled

a 31. 31 plus the Golem's Fire value is 113, and the

attack targeted the group and had dif 70)

JB: “I think the only one hit was Rob (Rob nods).

My turn now, right? (Nyarly's initiative total is 5, while

JB's is 12) I'll use !Advice on Rob. I want him to crit

with that knuckle!”

Nyarly: “ So now it is my turn. I'll spend 61 HP

to unleash a !Fury Brand. Rolled 90 for a total of 181 vs

Water+40. If it hits, that's 131 Fire damage and Berserk.”

GM: “Yeah, that hits. Your staff burns with your

magical fire when you sacrifice your lifeforce to summon

a cleansing flame. Your strike hits true, dealing 101

damage (that's 121 minus the 30 MARM), but the

creature seems to be immune to your mental effect. In

the golem's turn at phase 6, he delays his action.”

JB “I'll keep attacking at phase 7. Lemme roll

for Geomancy! Hm.. 75? Whats the Major effect for

Underground? Ah, Cave In. I'll spend the 35 MP to

increase the damage. (JB rolls a 51 and hits) That's 101

damage (100 damage plus 51's unit digit)! Take that!”

GM: “Rocks falls and the Golem receives 71

damage from the cave in, but he's still rocking!”

Rob: “Phase 8? At last! I'll attack him... Oh, only

11... I miss... No, wait, I crit due to JB! Thanks! I'll do-”

GM: “Actually the Golem reacts with his delayed

action. He rolls a 17 to block and... (checks Rob's Earth

value of 111) fails. Your critical does only 19 damage

due to the golem's heavy armor, but roll for Meteorite!”

Rob: “08 and 66. That's two hits? Nice! The

meteors falls dealing 48 and 46 damage, ignoring his

MARM. That was a nice crit! I did what, 130 damage?”

GM: “113. (The Golem still have 115 HP) So the

round ends. Roll your initiative for the second round!”

Game Master's Strategy Guide

Creating Adventures

Most adventures are designed around a

structure that looks like this: You start a scene,

linearly follow it for over a set number of scenes

that occur in a predetermined sequence, and it

comes to an end. Occasionally you might see

someone want to vary playing a pseudo-option,

where characters can go through 2 or 3

alternative scenes before returning to the main

script. But you're still looking at an essentially

linear path. Although the exact form of this linear

path may vary depending on the adventure in

question, ultimately, this form of design is the

linear approach: A happens, then B does, and

then C happens.

The main advantage of the linear

approach is its simplicity. It is easy to understand

and easy to control. When you are preparing the

adventure, it feels like assembling a task list or

telling the plot of a short story. While you are

running the adventure, you always know exactly

where you are and exactly where you should be

going. But this approach has two major

drawbacks:

Firstly, lack flexibility. Each arrow in the

designed flow chart is a bottleneck: If the players

do not follow that arrow (because they do not

want to or because they do not realize what they

should do), then the adventure will grind to a

halt. The risk of this painful derailment (or the

need to railroad your players) can be mitigated,

but if the players realize you are guiding the

actions of their characters, they can feel like

you're playing in their place. (This, ironically, can

cause them to rebel against your best plans.)

Second, because it lacks flexibility, linear

approach is the enemy of players’ agency. In order

to finish the adventure, the characters must

follow the arrows. Choices that do not follow the

arrows will break the game. And for a game that

values player empowerment since character

creation, to create linear adventures goes against

the rest of the system.

Of course, it is easier said than done, as

one of the reasons that people prefer the linear

approach is that it provides a significant structure

of prepared situations: It says exactly where to go

and how to do to get there. Without this kind of

structure, it is very easy for a game session to

derail. Certainly it is not impossible to simply let

the players loose, improvising everything and end

up somewhere interesting. Similarly, it is quite

possible to get in a car, driving aimlessly for a few

hours, and have a nice exciting trip to tell. But is

often helpful to have a territory map.

This line of thought, however, often leads

a dilemma. The logic is like this: (1) I want my

players to have meaningful choices. (2) I need to

have a framework for my adventure. (3)

Therefore, I need to prepare for each choice

players can do. The result is an exponential

Game Master's Strategy Guide - Page 111

expansion adventure path. The choice of "A" leads

to two paths, A1 and A2, which have the choice

"B" which takes four paths, A1B1, A1B2, A2B1,

A2B2, which have the "C" choice that takes eight

paths, and so on. The problem with this project

should be evident: You are preparing several

times more material to provide the same amount

of playing time. And most of the material you are

preparing will never be seen by the players.

In a way, of course, this is an extreme

example. You can simplify your task by collapsing

of some of these options, like having A2B1 and

A1B2 choices lead to the same place. But, yet, you

are designing several scenes in order to provide

only three real game scenes. You’re still

specifically designing a material you know that

will never be used. And, if you think about it, in

fact this example is not as extreme as well: The

initial example assumes that there are only two

possible choices at a given moment. In fact, it is

quite possible that there are three or four or even

more choices. And each additional option adds a

whole new series of contingencies you need to

account for.

Ultimately, this kind of adventure "Choose

your own path" is a dead alley: No matter how

much you try to predict ahead of time, your

players will still find options you never

considered - forcing you back to the position of

artificially limiting the choices to keep intact your

preparation or leaving you with just the same

problem you were trying to solve in the first

place: to avoid excessive improvisation. And even

though this is not true, you're still burdening

yourself with a preparation process filled with

unnecessary work.

The solution to this problem is node-

based design. And the root of this solution lies in

reversing the Three Clues Rule. This rule states:

"For any conclusion you want players to have,

include at least three clues." The theory

underlying this rule is: if you present three

different options, it provides sufficient

redundancy to create a robust scenario. Even

though the characters lose the first clue and

misinterpret the second, the third clue provides

an ultimate safety net to keep the scenario

working. This logic, however, also leads to the

reversal of the Three Clues Rule: "If the

characters have access to three clues, they will

get at least to a conclusion."

In other words, if you need it players

reach three conclusions (A, B, and C) and the

characters have access to three clues (each of

which theoretically allow them to achieve these

conclusions), then it is very likely that they will in

fact achieve at least one of these conclusions.

Understanding this reversal of the Three Clues

Rule allows us to embrace all the flexibility of

node-based design.

Imagine an adventure that begins in a

node (or scene), containing three clues- one

pointing to the node A, one for node B, and one

for the node C. Using the inverse of the Three

Clues Rule, you know that players will be able to

conclude that they need to go to at least one of

these nodes. Suppose they go to the node A.

There, there contains two additional clues - one

pointing to the node B and another that points to

the node C. At this point, the characters have

access to five different tracks. One of them led

them successfully to the node A and can now be

discarded. But that leaves them with four clues

(two pointing to node B and two pointing to node

C), and, because the inverse of the Three Clues

Rule, once again we see that they have more than

enough information to proceed further.

Let's assume now go to the node C. Here

they find clues to nodes A and B. They now have

access to a total of seven clues. Four of these clues

now point to nodes that have been visited, but the

three last clues point to the Node B. The Three

Clues Rule shows that they now have access to

enough information to complete the adventure.

Although there was no change between

linear adventure and the node-based adventure

apart from the event order, the simple fact that

the players are sitting in the driver's seat is

important. Even if the choice has no lasting

impact on the final conclusion of "good guys win,

bad guys lose," the fact that the players were the

ones who decided how the good guys did win is

important.

And this becomes even more relevant

when Traits come into play. Traits should be

placed as key points when creating nodes, as they

are exactly the characters’ main objectives, and,

most importantly, point the stories that your

players chose to play! Thus, the clues that lead

from one node to another should talk to the

characters through their goals.

Game Master's Strategy Guide - Page 112

Character Development and Rewards

Experience

The game speed depends on the will of

the group about the campaign’s

duration. FFRPG characters

start the game with 200

experience and can reach a

maximum of 25,120 experience

points. Starting the game

between levels 4th and 8th and

reaching the 100th level with

around 25,000 XP. However, it

is recommended that the game

ends around level 65, or about

11,000 XP for each character.

At this level, the characters are

already powerful and

experienced enough to

overcome most of the possible

challenges without too many

problems.

With these numbers in

mind, the GM can plan the

campaign’s progress according

to the time available to play it.

A campaign that lasts one year,

playing once per week, for

example, in "normal speed"

may give, on average, about

200 xp per session (assuming

two things: first, 200 XP times

52 weeks equals 10,400 XP at

the end of one year, and second,

the sessions of the campaign’s

start will give less than 200 XP

and the campaign’s final

sessions will give more than

200 XP). This speed can and

should be adjusted for the

campaign’s estimated time, the

size of the story being told and

frequency of play.

At each node on your

adventure, identify which

Traits are covered by that node.

A node that involves a mother’s

desperate pleas to save her son

from the clutches of a ferocious monster can, for

example, involve the Traits Reputation, People’s

Hero and Monster Hunter. Let's say that the GM

has stipulated a total of 160 XP for that node; it

may give 80 XP if the

characters save the child,

reducing to only 40 if it is

wounded in the process;

give a bonus 0-20 XP

based on characters’

actions and their ability

to become famous with

the situation in the eyes

of the other villagers; and

give also 20 XP if the

characters manage to kill

the beast, rising to 60 XP

if they deduct, based on

the given clues, the

reason for the attack and

decide to only scare away

the beast in order to

follow her into the

villain's lair.

Thus, characters

can earn between 0 and

160 XP for this node,

based on their actions

and their Traits. When

deciding their Traits,

players pass a clear

message about what kind

of situations they want to

face. Use this to your

advantage to create

exciting adventures for

your group.

Between sessions,

players can spend

experience points to

increase their Stats,

gaining levels and Skills.

Alternatively, the GM can

decide the experience

points may only be spent

between adventures or in

"training periods" defined

by the GM.

Game Master's Strategy Guide - Page 113

Optional Rule: Group Experience

Some groups may find it too taxing on the

GM to assign individual experience. Maybe they

feel it is hard to do, or maybe they feel that it is

unjust that the characters may earn different

experience values.

If you prefer, instead of granting

experience based on each character's Traits, you

may give them based on the group's Traits. This

way, all characters will earn the same experience

values at each session, based on the group's

actions. Individual Traits should be recorded for

Destiny purposes, but they won't give different

experience totals for each character.

Traits and Quirks

During the course of a campaign, the

characters will evolve in a different way aside

from the mere accumulation of experience.

Fundamental changes in a character’s goals,

personality and characteristics may imply

changes to its Traits and Quirks. For example, a

character may see the problems caused by his

Arrogant personality and decide to become

Empathic, or maybe the death of a Protégé when

a NPC stick his sword in her back can turn the

story into a tale of revenge against this new

Nemesis.

Anyway, whenever a character has a

significant reason to change their way of being,

independent if that reason is internal or external,

it can, between sessions, change his Quirks. To do

so, the player declares this to the Game Master

and changes it. In the case of the Traits, whenever

one of the three Traits chosen by the Group

change by players consensus or the imposition of

narrative (the heroes may beat a Nemesis,

redirecting their goals to something else, like

fetching Relics of the Past), all players, regardless

of their own character’s Traits, may change them,

to reflect the change of group goals.

Creating Experienced Characters

If, for any reason, you wish to create

experienced characters, simply follow the normal

character creation model and assign more than

200 XP. This is useful when a character enters the

game after its start, or when the group decides to

start the game with a greater power level than

starting characters. The GM must decide how

much XP the character should have and the player

assign it to its Stats as normal. Also, instead of

having 200 Gil for starting equipment, the

character may acquire equipment suited for its

level.

In some groups, you'll find a common kind of

player: the powergamer. These players focus on creating

the most optimized character, ready to tackle any

obstacle the GM can provide. Many players frown from

them, as they'll search for every loophole and rules

exception to try to create the “unbeatable” character.

Most also use minmaxing techniques: they overspecialize

to exploit high-level content while “dumping” or

ignoring other areas of the character.

Most RPGs do have countermeasures to stop

minmaxing and powergaming. This game... well, it have

none. No explicit rule, at least. The game engine is

designed to punish minmaxers. Got a character that

overspecializes in Earth? Throw him an opponent with

!Parry and high Air value and he'll be a sitting duck.

Enormous HP and defenses? Throw some Gravity effects

and he's toast.

However, the biggest deterrent to

overspecialization is the Stats' XP cost. You don't need

to throw curveballs: just let the minmaxer do his magic...

and soon he'll be in a lower level than his balanced

friends, and will be weaker than his allies, except in

situations suited for his specialty.

Game Master's Strategy Guide - Page 114

Antagonists

An important part of creating interesting

challenges for players is to create interesting

antagonists. Just as there are no shadows without

light, is the quality of antagonists that will

magnify the story created for any work of fiction,

be it a book, a movie, a video game or a RPG

campaign. Thus, this chapter is intended to help

Game Masters to craft balanced and challenging

antagonists for their players. As any crafting, this

process has equal parts art and science. As any

crafting, the creation process should take into

consideration the target audience: a monster that

is challenging to a group can be simply deadly to

another, or even a walk in the park for a third

group. As any crafting, even when following

established recipes, know that the you can always

fine-tune the details. To create antagonists, use

the following script:

1. Choose the Types

2. Pick a Class

3. Decide Stat Levels

4. Set HP, MP, Armor and Magical Armor

5. Include actions and finishing touches

Type

Each antagonist must have at

least one type. This type is important for

Abilities and attacks with effects like

(monster) Killer and (monster) Destroyer.

In addition, they often possess

characteristics and skills in common,

although they are not mandatory. A

monster may have more than one type.

Aberration: a catch-all type that

covers the monsters that can’t be

categorized in any of the other types.

Due to its breadth, there are no

characteristics and abilities that define

this type.

Aquan: Creatures that live in water,

typically, although many have the ability to act on

the mainland. Usually have Lightning Vulnerable

and Water Resist or Immune.

Construct: Golems and machines, made

of stone, wood, metal or other materials,

animated by magic or technology. Usually they

have resistance or immunity to a number of

conditions, such as the Mental, Toxic and

Transform types. Depending on the material,

they may have elemental vulnerabilities and

immunities.

Demon: Supernatural antagonists serving

the cause of evil, usually with great magical

powers. Usually have Light Vulnerable and

Shadow Resist or Immune.

Dragon: Monstrous reptiles, ranging from

snake- like creatures to large winged lizards.

Drakes range from small power to legendary

creatures of similar power to gods. Due to its

breadth, there are no characteristics and abilities

that define this type.

Elementals: Creatures with a deep

relationship with a specific element. Usually have

immunity or even the absorption to that element.

Beast: The 'natural' world inhabitants,

including common animals, monstrous animals

and other wildlife, even those distorted by magic.

Often have Ice Vulnerable.

Humanoid: Creatures of

with biology and proportions

similar to humans. Often have

Shadow Vulnerable and Bio

Vulnerable.

Undead: Unliving

creatures reanimated by

supernatural circumstances

or ghosts that haunt the

living. Usually they have Fire

Vulnerable and Zombie.

Class

Besides the type, you must

set the antagonist’ Class. Each

antagonist has a class that defines his level of

power. Minions are the cannon fodder, and

represent the low power antagonists that make

up most of the opponents.

Common antagonists are a step above the

Game Master's Strategy Guide - Page 115

minions, being as powerful as the player

characters, representing a greater threat.

Elite antagonists are unique creatures,

veterans who can be more powerful than the

player characters, requiring teamwork to be

defeated. Finally, Boss antagonists are the most

powerful, often representing the climax of not

only adventures, but campaign arcs.

Antagonists Stats

Antagonists have the same four Stats as

player characters: Earth, Air, Fire and Water.

Unlike the player characters, they do not need to

use XP to increase their Stats. When creating your

antagonist, decide the Stat values according to the

Group’s power and the proposed challenge.

Regardless of the antagonist’ class,

consider their Stats balanced if they are between

40 points lower and 40 points higher than the

player characters’ Stats. Antagonists have no

Traits, Quirks, Equipment, Skills or Destiny

Points. Their character level is the sum of its Stat

levels.

Combat Values

The HP, MP, armor and magic armor

values depends on the level and Category,

according to the chart below.

Level HP MP ARM /

MARM

01-09 32-64 10-50 02-12

10-18 80-148 16-64 04-24

19-27 216-288 24-148 13-48

28-36 388-468 62-288 24-84

37-45 604-704 80-468 37-120

46-54 892-1000 100-704 62-184

55-63 1208-1332 150-1000 75-245

64-74 1984-2260 250-1332 123-368

75-84 2320-2484 400-2260 144-452

85-100 2544-2820 500-2484 158-555

Minions should have half table’s HP and

roll two initiative die at the start of each round.

Common antagonists have table’s HP and roll

three initiative die at the start of each round.

Elites should have double or triple HP and up to

twice table’s MP, and roll three or four initiative

die in each round. Bosses must have between five

and six times HP and up to five times table’s MP

and roll four or five initiative die at the start of

each round.

The ARM and MARM values apply to all

Classes. When deciding the ARM and MARM

values, avoid creating creatures without

weaknesses. Antagonists with high armor usually

have low magic Armor, and vice versa.

Abilities and Actions

All antagonists should have at least a

basic attack, which can be physical or magical.

Choose an Offensive Stat and Defensive Stat for

the attack. The table below shows the adequate

damage multiplier for each antagonist’s level.

Level Damage

Multiplier

Level Damage

Multiplier

01-09 02 - 04 46-54 13 - 17

10-18 03 - 07 55-63 14 - 20

19-27 05 - 09 64-74 16 - 24

28-36 08 - 12 75-84 18 - 26

37-45 10 - 14 85-100 20 - 35

The antagonists should have at least a

basic attack, which can be physical or magical.

Choose an Offensive Stat and a Defensive Stat for

the attack and its damage. For example, an attack

of an antagonist between level 10 and level 18

should cause between 3x and 7x Stat level

damage.

Earth: Attacks with Earth as Offensive

Stat depend on user’s strength and muscular

power. They are usually linked to brute force and

physicality. Attacks that can be prevented by the

defender’s physical strength, health and muscle

power of should use Earth as Defensive Stat.

Air: Attacks with Air as Offensive Stat

depend on the user’s skill and speed. They are

usually linked to the precision and finesse.

Attacks that can be avoided by the defender’s

agility and the reflexes of should use Air as

Defensive Stat.

Game Master's Strategy Guide - Page 116

Fire: Attacks with Fire as Offensive Stat

depend on the user’s intelligence and magical

ability. They are usually linked to cunning and the

supernatural. Attacks that can be avoided by the

defender’s insight should use Fire as Defensive

Stat. It is a Stat rarely used defensively.

Water: Attacks with Water as Offensive

Stat depend on the user’s charisma and

willpower. They are usually linked to luck and

force of personality. Attacks that can be prevented

by the defender’s mental strength and magical

defense of should use Water as Defensive Stat. It

is a Stat rarely used offensively.

Antagonists can use Spells and both Main

and Secondary Jobs’ Abilities, causing effects at

players’ similar levels, although they still have to

follow the damage table. For example, the Fire

Spell is suitable for antagonists of 10th to 27th

level, as it deals 5x Fire level damage. In the case

of actions that depend on the equipped weapon,

like !Charge or !Black Sky, simply decide the

damage based on level limits.

Finally, Elite or Boss antagonists may

have actions as if they had up to 9 levels higher

than their actual level. These abilities are

considered special attacks and should be used

sparingly. Thus, a 40th level Boss could have an

attack dealing 17x Stat level damage.

In addition to the actions and reactions

that are appropriate to the antagonist, feel free to

grant the conditions that make sense for the

creature, like Flight, Float, Zombie, Elemental

or Status Vulnerable, Elemental or Status

Resist, Elemental or Status Immunity,

Elemental Absorb, among others.

Final Details

With the antagonist’s mechanics done, be

sure to flesh out the details that give life to

roleplay. These details can be as specific or as

general as necessary; an unimportant Minion

may simply have a general description, but an

Elite who will star an entire adventure should be

detailed enough for your players love to hate

their enemy.

What's its name? What’s its physical

description? What’s its personality? Does it have

habits, peculiarities, catchphrases? What are its

goals, fears, anxieties? What’s its natural habitat?

How it relates to the adventure and the other

antagonists? These are only some of the

questions that you, as a GM, may ask to give depth

to the antagonist.
