Anima Beyond Fantasy: Reign of Heroes

[Deviltigerr]

Year 990, the Fracture of the Heavens happened two years ago, when the Emperor of the Sacred Holy Empire of Abel was killed. It's the second year of the reign of the empress Elisabeth and the tensions are rising between the Sacred Holy Empire and The Azur Alliance.


In a world, where magic and ancient enemies and threats are coming back, technology forgotten a long time ago with a few souls looking into the treasures of ancient civilization, where martial artists with impressive abilities are facing creatures from the darkest dreams. Magicians can control the elements and shape reality under their thumbs and some people are born with strange psychic powers.


Hook: Our adventure begins in Dalaborn known as the Sword of the Empire, an old man Balthasar Ender assembled your group to take care of a problem, investigate and stop Baldius Orad, a powerful necromancer from completing a terrible ritual.


players wanted: roughly 4 to 6 players.


Systems and the likes:


-All books available (Sadly currently all books are not available anymore with FFG dropping the license in the US at least.), because of this, I can help you make your character from scratch, as long as you have a concept in mind, we can make it.


-Latest version of the rules exxet, conveniently translated by the fans. It does affect character creation and combat is quicker to say the least.


-Medium Supernatural (will explain Gm's toolkit)


-Post-creation points advantage rule is in effect


-55 points to distribute freely among your characteristics. (min. 3, 10 max, 9 to 10 cost 2 points)


-No Pure races but nephilims are available


-Generic Ki points pool used


-Cultural roots bonuses for free and they are doubled to match the ones in the Gaia vol 2 book.


-Rules clarification (official)


Anima Beyond Fantasy system in general is a love letter to final fantasy, anime, jrpg in general and many other references, with an extensive background story and colorful npcs to say the least and wide mix of various genres and settings across the world.

Bro, why are you not using the unified ki?


Having to calculate separate pools of points in an already clunky subsystem doesn't help  make combat as a ki user any faster

 

[Deviltigerr]

@IxaciseI am using it, unified ki is what I mean by generic ki pool. (see in previous post)

-Generic Ki points pool used

@Duwang If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask.

 

[Duwang]

Do you have a character sheet for us to use? I have the books in pdf format and have played the game a couple of times.


What are you doing about starting equipment? Do we just choose which class we are? What'd be the benefit of choosing something other than a noble? Are we choosing our own appearance score? Are we rolling it? Ignoring it? What about extra starting equipment? Can we have a free weapon or does that have to be bought?

 

[Deviltigerr]

@Duwang


-Starting equipment depend on your cultural root and where you are from(from either old or new continent). It should be noted that some social class do require to have the privileged advantage (1 or 2 points) depending on where you are from. Not all principalities/nations or kingdoms have social class which requires the privileged advantage tho.


-Yeah you can choose whatever archetype you want to play.


-do you mean for starting equipment? Nobles and privileged get more items there isn't anything that people get extra for being of the lower class beside roleplay (some places or people or even abilities vary depending on your social status and where you are from.)


-You can choose your own appearance but again like to remind people that an appearance of 10 is like Helen of Troy status.


-Weapons again depend on where you are from, some starts with weapons, others don't depend also on social status.


-For the character sheet, you can choose whatever format if not I can whip up something.

@Lamladaz Awesome if any questions don't hesitate to ask, will most likely reply to them later tonight or early tomorrow morning, about to head out soon.

 

[Ryoh Hirai]

Question, I'm gonna play a technician, so... do we get a bonus of +50 MK at level 1 and every level after or does level 1 not count?

 

[Deviltigerr]

It includes level 1.
