Chapter 1: Getting Started

INTRODUCTION
When we first set out to create a super heroic role-playing game,
we like most, focused purely on the one outstanding characteristic
in the brilliant array of possibilities presented in the comic book
medium: superhuman abilities. A few things were clear as we
began to envision the manifestation of powers in our game. We
wanted to create a game free of the static character archetypes
prevalent in so many others, instead encouraging players to
naturally transition their characters from mere concepts to
sophisticated, multi-dimensional heroes. We also wanted to
capture on our pages the dynamism of the battles between these
larger-than-life characters. We wanted to harness the same pulsequickening excitement which propels us through our favorite
books, and deliver it with each round of combat.
To call our game a comic book RPG, we realized that
these qualitiesa focus on superhuman abilities, complexity and
elegance in characterization, and compelling actionwere not
enough. The vastness of the stories and characters alive on the
pages could not be summed up by mere superhuman abilities. To
experience the vital nature and complexity of a comic book
universe, players must be given freedom. Not only the characters,
but the game world itself, must be built upon a framework of
evolution. Thus, the scope of our world broadened to include the
concepts of advanced technology, ancient races, other-worldly
beings, and mystic arts. Through these ancillary story points and
avenues of character development, we will continue to provide
new and exciting future supplements.
The decision to use the Open Gaming License (OGL) was
an easy one. Created at the turn of the millennium, the OGL has
been popularized in both fantasy and modern game settings. The
associated game-play rules provide structured customization for
player characters, as well as ease of resolution to a wide variety of
in game circumstances. While no game system can satisfy all
gamers, we feel that the OGL provides a comfortable learning
curve for those new to the genre, as well familiarity for those who
are not. We are proud to contribute to an industry from which we
have derived so many years of enjoyment, and are excited by the
level of compatibility the OGL provides.
THE RPG EXPERIENCE
Guardian Angels is what is referred to as a table-top or pen and
paper role playing game. The events of the game take place
largely in the players imaginations, structured by the associated
rules herein, and visually represented by the use of miniatures and
grid mats. Players will assume the roles of a variety of heroes (or
villains) inspired by the comic book genre, and navigate these
characters through a series of stories and adventures told by the
Game Master (or GM).
The GM is responsible for creating the world in which the
players exist. Whether the players must defeat a giant worm
attacking the city, or infiltrate a shadowy corporate entity to
uncover an evil plot, the GM is the narrator, guiding them along
the path. Since the players ultimately decide the path they wish to
take, the GM will often be challenged to shape and adapt his vision
around the actions of the players. GMs should be careful to not
diminish the fun or flow of an adventure by rigidly forcing players
into a precise narrative. Part of the enjoyment and excitement of

playing an adaptive RPG is the players (and thus, the characters)

abilities to make choices and defy prediction.
For the players, the experience is much akin to a chooseyour own- adventure book. The GM may present players with any
number of opportunities to make decisions leading them down the
wrong path, causing the untimely death of civilians or the
destruction of the world as you know it.
It is up to the players to navigate the literary landscape
laid before them. Because this is a role playing game, the players
ultimate goal is complete immersion in the essence of their
characters. The GM crafts the events, but the players actions (and
reactions) shape the characters and define their individual
principles.
Tools of the Trade
There is a standard kit, of sorts, that you will need to
accompany this book. The first, and most frequently used of these,
will be a set of dice made specifically for the table-top gaming
genre. These dice are generally sold in packs including a selection
of four-, six-, eight-, ten-, twelve-, and twenty-sided die, all of
which serve unique purposes throughout game-play. Currently, we
do not offer these through our website, instead we recommend
stopping by your local comic or gaming shop to acquire a set.
The character sheet is another of your gaming tools,
allowing you to keep track of all information pertinent to your
character. Whether cataloging your arsenal of weapons and
abilities, or determining your ability parachute into an enemy
base, the information lives on these pages. At the end of this book
you will also find a universal character sheet you can photocopy,
or you can visit www.manmademythology. com to print this or one
of the class-specific sheets. While much of the game is comprised
of character interactions which can be played out between the
players and the Game Master, combat situations are more easily
negotiated by having physical representations of your characters.
These representations are referred to as miniatures and can be
found at a local game or comic shop as well.
Game Masters
If you are the Game Master, in addition to the Guardian Angels
core rules you will also want the Bronze Files: Skyblock book. It is
filled with an array of factions and non-player characters to
populate your world. This selection of characters and creatures
offers you a dynamic way to create interactions or encounters for
your players, whether with friend or foe. If you are unable to
acquire Skyblock right away, we have included an abbreviated
selection in the NPCs chapter of this book, to get you started. You
may often find it necessary to keep much of what you are doing a
secret from the players. As such, you will want to have some way
to hide your notes and the results of your die rolls. This is not
meant to provide you with the ability to alter die rolls, but instead
maintain some level of secrecy from the players as to the outcome
of the various actions players or NPCs may take in the course of
the game session.
When setting the stage for a more pivotal moment in your
campaign, you may wish to lay a map of the environment or
specific space in which the characters will be maneuvering. It is
generally helpful to use a mat or map with a grid layout of 1
squares. There are many options to choose from: a laminated map
and dry erase markers, a custom printed map, or even a
handmade drawing. The object is to provide players a further

means to immerse themselves into the game world and its

narrative.

Playing the Game

While playing Guardian Angels, the Game Master
describes the events that occur in the game world, and the players
take turns describing what their characters do in response to those
events. Unlike with traditional storytelling, however, the actions of
the players and the characters controlled by the Game Master
(frequently called non-player characters, or NPCs) are not certain.
Most actions require dice rolls to determine success, with some
tasks being more difficult than others. Each character is better at
some things than he is at other things; he may earn bonuses
based on his skills and abilities.
Whenever a roll is required, the roll is noted as d#, with
the # representing the number of sides on the die. If you need to
roll multiple dice of the same type, there will be a number before
the d. For example, if you are required to roll 4d6, you should roll
four six-sided dice and add the results together. Sometimes there
will be a + or after the notation, meaning that you add that
number to, or subtract it from, the total results of the dice (not to
each individual die rolled).
Most die rolls in the game use a d20 with a number of
modifiers based on the characters skills, his or her abilities, and
the situation. Generally speaking, rolling high is better than rolling
low. Percentile rolls are a special case, indicated as rolling d%. You
can generate a random number in this range by rolling two
differently colored ten-sided dice (2d10). Pick one color to
represent the tens digit, then roll both dice. If the die chosen to be
the tens digit rolls a 4 and the other d10 rolls a 2, then youve
generated a 42. A zero on the tens digit die indicates a result from
1 to 9, or 100 if both dice result in a zero. Some d10s are printed
with 10, 20, 30, and so on in order to make reading d% rolls
easier. Unless otherwise noted, whenever you must round a
number, always round down.
As your character goes on adventures, he obtains a
variety of rewards to utilize in future endeavors. Some of these
rewards come in the form of resources, whether from cashing in on
a dangerous bounty or making contacts in an organization for
continued service. These funds can be used to purchase a wide
array of equipment that allows you to further customize and adapt
your character. Other rewards come from the advancement of your
characters level, below are common methods of achieving this
advancement.
Narrative Driven: This method, allows a gaming group to
progress through a series of story arcs. Level progression is
essentially written into the narrative of the GMs story, allowing
play to maintain a consistent flow throughout the telling.
Experience Points: With this method characters receive a
number of experience points for each challenge they overcome.
When a character has earned enough experience he obtains a new
level, introducing new powers and abilities.
The Most Important Rule
The rules presented are here to help bring your comic
book-themed characters and their amazing world to life. While
they are designed to make your game easy and exciting, you
might find that some of them do not suit the style of play that your
gaming group enjoys. Remember that these rules are yours. You
can change them to fit your needs. Most Game Masters have a
number of house rules that they use in their games. The Game
Master and players should always discuss any rule changes to

make sure that everyone understands how the game will be

played. Although the Game Master is the final arbiter of the rules,
Guardian Angels is a shared experience, and all of the players
should contribute their thoughts when the rules are in doubt.

COMMON TERMS
Mythical Heroes uses a number of terms, abbreviations,
and definitions in presenting the rules of the game. The following
are among the most common.
Ability Score: Each creature has seven ability scores: Might,
Agility, Vigor, Intellect, Wits, Charm and Beauty. These scores
represent a characters most basic attributes. The higher the
score, the more raw potential and talent your character possesses.
Action: An action is a discrete measurement of time during a
round of combat. Using abilities, casting spells, and making
attacks all require actions to perform. There are a number of
different kinds of actions, such as a standard action, move action,
swift action, free action, and full-round action (see Combat).
Activation Abilities (Av): Activation abilities are typically mythic
abilities, but require an action to activate, are subject to attacks of
opportunity and can be interrupted.
Alignment: Alignment represents a creatures basic moral and
ethical attitude. Alignment has two components: one describing
whether a creature is lawful, neutral, or chaotic, followed by
another that describes whether a character is good, neutral, or
evil. Alignments are usually abbreviated using the first letter of
each alignment component, such as LN for lawful-neutral or CE for
chaotic-evil. Creatures that are neutral in both components are
denoted by a single N.
Armor Class (AC): All creatures in the game have an armor class.
This score represents how hard it is to hit a creature in combat. As
with other scores, higher is better.
Base Attack Bonus (BAB): Each creature has a base attack
bonus and BAB represents its skill in combat. As a character gains
levels or hit dice, his base attack bonus improves. When a
creatures base attack bonus reaches +6, +11, or +16, he receives
an additional attack in combat when he takes a full-attack action
(which is one type of full-round actionsee Combat).
Bonus: Bonuses are numerical values that are added to checks
and statistical scores. Most bonuses have a type, and as a general
rule are not cumulative (do not stack) with bonuses of the same
typeonly the greater bonus granted applies.
Caster Level (CL): Caster level represents a creatures power
and ability when casting spells. When a creature casts a spell, it
often contains a number of variables, such as range or damage,
that are based on the casters level.
Class: Classes represent chosen focuses taken by characters and
some other creatures. Classes give a host of bonuses and allow
characters to take actions that they otherwise could not, such as
using mythic abilities, casting spells or creating fantastic
technology. As a creature gains levels in a given class, it gains
new, more powerful abilities.
Check: A check is a d20 roll which may or may not be modified by
another value. The most common types are attack rolls, skill
checks, and saving throws.

Combat Maneuver: This is an action taken in combat that does

not directly cause harm to your opponent, such as attempting to
trip him, disarm him, or grapple with him (see Combat).
Combat Maneuver Bonus (CMB): This value represents how
skilled a creature is at performing a combat maneuver. When a
character attempts to perform a combat maneuver, this value is
added to the characters d20 roll.
Combat Maneuver Defense (CMD): This score represents how
hard it is to perform a combat maneuver against this creature. A
creatures CMD is used as the difficulty class when performing a
maneuver against that creature.
Concentration Check: When a creature uses certain special
abilities, but is disrupted during the action, he must make a
concentration check or fail to complete the action (see Magic and
Mythic Abilities).
Creature: A creature is an active participant in the story or world.
This includes PCs, NPCs, aliens, animals, supernatural beings, etc.
Damage Reduction (DR): Creatures that are resistant to harm
typically have damage reduction. This amount is subtracted from
any damage dealt to them from a physical source. Most types of
DR can be bypassed by certain types of weapons. This is denoted
by a / followed by the type, such as 10/millendrium. Some
types of DR apply to all physical attacks. Such DR is denoted by
the symbol. See Special Abilities for more information. Some
creatures only have DR against certain damage types; in this case
the DR will be listed as a number vs. a type (i.e. 5 vs. piercing and
bludgeoning).
Difficulty Class (DC): Whenever a creature attempts to perform
an action whose success is not guaranteed, he must make some
sort of check (usually a skill check). The result of that check must
meet or exceed the difficulty class of the action that the creature is
attempting to perform in order for the action to be successful.
Extraordinary Abilities (Ex): Extraordinary abilities are unusual
abilities that do not rely on magic or mythic abilities to function.
Experience Points (XP): As a character overcomes challenges,
defeats opponents, and carries out missions, he gains experience
points. These points accumulate over time, and when they reach
or surpass a specific value, the character gains a level.
Feat: A feat is an ability a creature has mastered. Feats often
allow creatures to circumvent rules or restrictions. Creatures
receive a number of feats based on their hit dice, but some classes
and other abilities grant bonus feats.
Hit Dice (HD): Hit dice represent a creatures general level of
power and skill. As a creature gains levels, it gains additional Hit
Dice. Creatures, on the other hand, gain racial hit dice, which
represent the creatures general prowess and ability. Hit dice are
represented by the number the creature possesses followed by a
type of die, such as 3d8. This value is used to determine a
creatures total hit points. In this example, the creature has 3 hit
dice. When rolling for this creatures hit points, you would roll a d8
three times and add the results together, along with other
modifiers.
Hit Points (HP): Hit points are an abstraction signifying how
robust and healthy a creature is at the current moment. To
determine a creatures hit points, roll the dice indicated by its Hit
Dice. A creature gains maximum hit points if its first Hit Die roll is
for a character class level. Creatures receiving their first Hit Die
come from an NPC class or from his race roll their first Hit Die
normally. Wounds subtract hit points, while healing (both natural

and magical) restores hit points. Some abilities and spells grant
temporary hit
points that disappear after a specific duration. When a creatures
hit points drop below 0, it becomes unconscious. When a
creatures hit points reach a negative total equal to its Constitution
score, it dies.
Initiative: Whenever combat begins, all creatures involved in the
battle must make an initiative check to determine the order in
which creatures act during combat. The higher the result of the
check, the earlier a creature gets to act.
Level: A characters level represents his overall ability and power.
There are four types of levels. Class level is the number of levels of
a specific class possessed by a character. Character level is the
sum of all of the levels possessed by a character in all of his
classes. In addition, spells have a level associated with them
numbered from 0 to 9. This level indicates the general power of
the spell. As a spellcaster gains levels, he learns to cast spells of a
higher level. Finally, there is a power level that measures the rank
of Mythic abilities called tiers.
Multiplying: When you are asked to apply more than one
multiplier to a roll, the multipliers are not multiplied by one
another. Instead, you combine them into a single multiplier, with
each extra multiple adding 1 less than its value to the first
multiple. For example, if you are asked to apply a 2 multiplier
twice, the result would be 3, not 4.
Mythic Abilities: Mythic abilities are special abilities that give
ordinary creatures fantastic powers beyond those of mortal men.
Mythic abilities can do a variety of different things and are
described in detail in the description of each power. (See Mythic
Abilities) Non-player Character (NPC): These are characters
controlled by the GM.
Penalty: Penalties are numerical values that are subtracted from
a check or statistical score. Penalties do not have a type and most
penalties stack with one another.
Round: Combat is measured in rounds. During an individual
round, all creatures have a chance to take a turn to act, in order of
initiative. A round represents 6 seconds in the game world.
Rounding: Occasionally the rules ask you to round a result or
value. Unless otherwise stated, always round down. For example, if
you are asked to take half of 7, the result would be 3.
Saving Throw: When a creature is the subject of a dangerous
ability, spell or effect, it often receives a saving throw to mitigate
the damage or result. Saving throws are passive, meaning that a
character does not need to take an action to make a saving throw
they are made automatically. There are three types of saving
throws: Fortitude (used to resist poisons, diseases, and other
bodily ailments), Reflex (used to avoid effects that target an entire
area, such as fireball), and Will (used to resist mental attacks and
spells).
Skill: A skill represents a creatures ability to perform an ordinary
task, such as climb a wall, sneak down a hallway, or spot an
intruder. The number of ranks possessed by a creature in a given
skill represents its proficiency in that skill. As a creature gains Hit
Dice, it also gains additional skill ranks that can be added to its
skills. Spell: Spells can perform a wide variety of tasks, from
harming enemies to bringing the dead back to life. Spells specify
what they can target, what their effects are, and how they can be
resisted or negated.
Spell-Like Abilities (Sp): Spell-like abilities function just like
spells, but are granted through a special racial ability or by a

specific class ability (as opposed to spells, which are gained by

spellcasting classes as a character gains levels).

more negatively like being colorblind, having a phobia and other

drawback like those. Its mostly there for role-play purposes.

Spell Resistance (SR): Some creatures are resistant to magic

and gain spell resistance. When a creature with spell resistance is
targeted by a spell, the caster of the spell must make a caster
level check to see if the spell affects the target. The DC of this
check is equal to the target creatures SR (some spells do not allow
SR checks).

Step 5Pick Your Power Path: A characters class represents

your characters primary focus with his abilities, such as a super
powered hero, magic user or technology specialist. If this is a new
character, he starts at 1st level in his chosen class. As your
character advances (either through experience or narrative trigger
points), he goes up in level, granting him new powers and abilities.

Stacking: Stacking refers to the act of adding together bonuses or

penalties that apply to one particular check or statistic. Generally
speaking, most bonuses of the same type do not stack. Instead,
only the highest bonus applies. Most penalties do stack, meaning
that their values are added together. Penalties and bonuses
generally stack with one another, meaning that the penalties
might negate or exceed part or all of the bonuses, and vice versa.

Step 6Pick Skills and Select Feats: Determine the number of

skill ranks possessed by your character, based on his class and
Intelligence modifier. Then spend these ranks on skills, but
remember that you cannot have more ranks than your character
level in any one skill (for a starting character, this is usually one).
After you determine skills, determine how many feats your
character receives, based on his class and level, and select them
from those presented in Feats.

Superhuman Abilities (Sh): Superhuman abilities are mythic

ability attacks, defenses, and qualities. These abilities can be
always active or they can require a specific action to utilize. The
superhuman abilitys description includes information on how it is
used and its effects.
Supernatural Abilities (Su): Supernatural abilities are magical
attacks, defenses, and qualities. These abilities can be always
active or they can require a specific action to utilize. The
supernatural abilitys description includes information on how it is
used and its effects.
Tier: The levels and abilities granted by mythic abilities are
measured in tiers that range from 1 to 10. The Tier of each ability
can affect the damage, range and the DC of saving throws.
GENERATING A CHARACTER
Although you can play almost any kind of comic book hero
you can imagine, you must first follow the character creation
steps. Everything from the classic super-powered hero to the gritty
special operations soldier or the mystic master of the lost arts is
created using the same basic outline. As you progress though each
of the steps, be sure to keep a record of the outcome on your
character sheet.
Step 1Determine Ability Scores: Start by generating your
characters ability scores. These six scores determine your
characters most basic attributes and are used to decide a wide
variety of details and statistics. Some class selections require you
to have better than average scores for some of your abilities.
Step 2Pick Your Races: Next, pick your characters race,
noting any modifiers to your ability scores and any other racial
traits. In this book there are 12 races to choose from. Each race
lists the languages your character automatically knows, as well as
a number of bonus languages. A character knows a number of
additional bonus languages equal to his or her Intelligence
modifier. Each race comes with certain advantages (see Races).
Step 3Pick Your Alter Ego: Next, pick your characters alter
ego. Whether your identity is publicly known or a carefully guarded
secret, your alter ego helps define what your life is like when you
arent actively adventuring. Your alter ego will provide your
character concept with background information as well as
specialized bonus class skills and other bonuses not related to
your player race or class.
Step 4Pick Your Advantages and Complications: A
characters advantages represent small bonus and adjustment for
the character, it could be resources bonus, allies he have and
much more. Complications are elements that affect the character

Step 7Choose Equipment: Most new character begins the

game with an amount of equipment or gear to get your character
started. This list is intended as a guide for the type of equipment a
level 1 character would possess, though your GM may allow you to
switch these items out for comparably priced items. If a character
does not have starting gear listed in their class description, they
will instead have an amount of resources. Generally speaking, you
cannot use starting gear or resources to acquire UltraTech items
without the consent of your GM.
Step 8Finishing Details: Finally, you need to determine all of a
characters details, including his starting hit points (HP), armor
class (AC), saving throws, initiative modifier, and attack values. All
of these numbers are determined by the decisions made in
previous steps. Aside from these, you need to decide on your
characters name, alignment, and physical appearance. It is best
to jot down a few personality traits as well, to help you play the
character during the game. Other traits (like age and alignment)
are described in Additional Rules.
ABILITY SCORES
Each character has six ability scores that represent the characters
most basic attributes. They are his raw talent and prowess. While a
character rarely rolls a check using just an ability score, these
scores, and the modifiers they create, affect nearly every aspect of
a characters skills and abilities. Each ability score generally
ranges from 3 to 18, although other bonuses and penalties can
alter this; an average ability score is 10.
Generating Ability Scores
There are a number of different methods used to generate ability
scores. Each of these methods gives a different level of flexibility
and dynamism to character generation.
Standard: Roll 4d6, discard the lowest die result, and add the
three remaining results together. Record this total and repeat the
process until six numbers are generated. Assign these totals to
your ability scores as you see fit. This method is less random than
the classic method and tends to create characters with aboveaverage ability scores.
Classic: Roll 3d6 and add the dice together. Record this total and
repeat the process until you generate six numbers. Assign these
results to your ability scores as you see fit. This method is quite
random, and some characters will have clearly superior abilities. To
provide further randomization to this process, apply the totals to
the ability scores in the order which they are rolled. Characters
generated using this method are difficult to fit to predetermined
concepts, because their scores might not support given classes or

personalities, and instead are best designed around their ability

scores.
Heroic: Roll 2d6 and add 6 to the sum of the dice. Record this
total and repeat the process until six numbers are generated.
Assign these totals to your ability scores as you see fit. This is less
random than the standard method and generates characters with
mostly above average scores.
Dice Pool: Each character has a pool of 24d6 to assign to his
statistics. Before the dice are rolled, the player selects the number
of dice to roll for each score, with a minimum of 3d6 for each
ability. Once the dice have been assigned, the player rolls each
group and totals the result of the three highest dice. For more
high-powered games, the GM should increase the total number of
dice to 28. This method generates characters of a similar power to
the Standard method. Note:
Purchase: Each character receives a number of points to spend
on increasing his basic attributes. In this method, all attributes
start at a base of 10. A character can increase an individual score
by spending some of his points. Likewise, he can gain more points
to spend on other scores by decreasing one or more of his ability
scores. No score can be reduced below 7 or raised above 18 using
this method. See Table, Ability Score Costs for the costs of each
score. The number of points you have to spend using the purchase
method depends on the type of campaign you are playing. The
standard value for a character is 15 points. Average nonplayer
characters (NPCs) are typically built using as few as 3 points.
See Table 1-2 for a number of possible point values depending on
the style of campaign. The purchase method emphasizes player
choice and creates equally balanced characters.

Determine Bonuses
Each ability, after the final modification due to the race
traits, will generally have a modifier ranging from 5 to +5. Table
1-3, Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells shows the modifier for
each score. The modifier is the number you apply to the die roll
when your character tries to do something related to that ability.
You also use the modifier with some numbers that arent die rolls.
A positive modifier is called a bonus, and a negative modifier is
called a penalty. The table also shows bonus spells, which youll
need to know about if your character is a spellcaster.
Abilities and Spellcasters
The ability that governs bonus spells depends on what type of
spellcaster your character is: Vigor is the primary ability for
invokers, Wits is the primary ability for a vessel, and Charm is the
primary ability for Druid. In addition to having a high ability score,

The Abilities
Each ability partially describes your character and affects some of
his actions.

Might (Mig)
Might measures muscle and physical power. This ability is
important for those who engage in hand-to-hand (or melee)
combat, such as martial arts masters, soldiers and many mythics.
Might also sets the maximum amount of weight your character can
carry. A character with a Might score of 0 is too weak to move in
any way and is unconscious. Some creatures do not possess a
Might score and have no modifier at all to Might-based skills or
checks.
You apply your characters Might modifier to:

\ Damage rolls when using a melee weapon or a thrown weapon,
including a sling. (Exceptions: Off-hand attacks receive only half
the characters Might bonus, while two-handed attacks receive 1

applies to attacks made with a bow that is not a composite bow.)
\ Climb and Swim checks.

\ Might checks (for breaking down doors and the like).

Agility (Agi)

dexterity, reflexes, and balance. This ability is

vital for characters seeking to excel with ranged weapons, such as
fire arms or energy projections. A character with a agility score of
0 is incapable of moving and is effectively immobile (but not
unconscious). You apply your characters Agility modifier to:
\ Ranged attack rolls, including those for attacks made with bows,
energy projections, fire arms, and many ranged spell attacks like
scorching ray or searing light.
\ Armor Class (AC), provided that the character can react to the
attack.
\ Reflex saving throws, for avoiding fireballs and other attacks
that you can escape by moving quickly.
\ Acrobatics, Disable Device, Escape Artist, Fly, Drive, Sleight of
Hand, and Stealth checks.

Charm (Cha)
Charm measures a characters personality, personal magnetism,
ability to lead, and overall presence. It can be very important for
any hero who wants to fast talk their way out of sticky situations.
Every creature has a Charm score. A character with a Charm score
of 0 is not able to exert himself in any way and is unconscious. You
apply your characters Charm modifier to:
Bluff, Diplomacy, Disguise, Handle Animal, Intimidate, and

Beauty (Bea)
Beauty measures a characters appearance and attractiveness.
The higher this stat is the more attractive the character is. The
modifier applies for all seduction, negotiation and first impression
checks involving another person.

Vigor (Vig)
Vigor represents your characters health and stamina. This ability
is important for an invoker because it affects his or her
spellcasting ability in many ways. A Vigor bonus increases a
characters hit points, so the ability is important for all classes.
Some creatures, such as undead and constructs, do not have a
Vigor score. Their modifier is +0 for any Vigor-based checks. A
character with a Vigor score of 0 is dead.
You apply your characters Vigor modifier to:
\ Each roll of a hit die (though a penalty can never drop a result
below 1that is, a character always gains at least 1 hit point each
time he advances in level).
Fortitude saving throws, for resisting poison, disease, and similar
threats.
If a characters Vigor score changes enough to alter his or her
Vigor modifier, the characters hit points also increase or decrease
accordingly.
An invoker gains bonus spells based on his Vigor score. The
minimum Vigor score needed to cast an invoker spell is 10 + the
spells level.

Intellect (Int)
Intellect determines how well your character learns and reasons.

least 3. A character with an Intellect score of 0 is comatose. Some
creatures do not possess an Intellect score. Their modifier is +0 for

ELDARAN

Chapter 3 : Alter-egos
Being a hero (or villain) can be a full time job, but for many
characters it is only a facet of their daily lives. During down times,
such characters often work for a living, alongside everyone else, to
put food on the table and pay the bills. Thats where a characters
alter ego becomes important. Whether a characters identity is
publicly known or a carefully guarded secret, that characters alter
ego represents his or her life when not on active missions or other
adventures. Alter egos also reflect the vocational and occupational
training a character may have received that exists outside of his
normal class abilities. Characters select an alter ego at character
creation to obtain special access to class skills, feats and other
bonuses that are permanent features not related to class or race.
An alter ego can only be selected once, at character creation, and
cannot be changed.
Each alter ego carries its own set of advantages. Some have
prerequisites that must be met in order to be selected. Below is
the format for each alter ego followed by a list of alter egos to
choose from.
Alter Ego Name: A general description of the alter ego title as
well as example occupations that the character might hold.
Prerequisite: Characters must meet these requirements for each
alter ego in order to select it.
Skills: The list of skills from which the character may select to add
to his or her permanent class skills. The exact number of skills a
character may choose is listed with each alter ego (usually two or
three). If the character selects a skill that is already a class skill he
or she gets a +1 competency bonus to that skill.
Bonus Feats: Some alter egos provide bonus feats in addition to
those provided by class or race. The specific feats are listed in
each alter ego. The character must meet the prerequisites for
these bonus feats (if any) as they normally would to select them.
ACADEMIC
Academics include librarians, archaeologists, scholars, professors,
teachers, and other education professionals.
Prerequisite: Age 23+.
Skills: Choose three of the following skills as permanent class
skills. If a skill the character selects is already a class skill, he or
she receives a +1 competence bonus on checks using that skill.
Computer Use, Craft (writing), Investigate, Knowledge (arcane lore,
art, astronomy, behavioral sciences, business, civics, current
events, earth and life sciences, history, nature, physical sciences,
popular culture, tactics, technology, or religion), Linguistics,
Research, or add a new Read/Write Language or a new Speak
Language.
