      Expanding World of Sword World 2.5
    Are you daring?
    This book is a collection of additional rules following Sword World 2.5
Core Rulebook I. In Sword World 2.5 Core Rulebook I" seven races and up
to six levels of data were provided. For avid adventurers, however, reaching the
upper limit of 6 levels may seem like a blink of an eye.
    With Core Rulebook II, characters can grow to 10 levels. To this end, a
new magic list and combat feats have been added, making the game even more
in-depth.
    New classes, Fairy Tamer, Enhancer, and Bard, have been introduced to
broaden the scope of play. The Fairy Tamer is the fifth Wizard-Type Class
and uses Fairy Magic, which can cast spells of various types. The Enhancer's
techniques are an excellent way for Warrior-type characters to enhance
themselves. And the Bard shines on the battlefield with its music, playing
Spellsong and Finales.
    New races include the Lildrakens, a dragon race; the Grassrunners, jovial
wanderers; and the Meria, who has evolved from a plant to a humanoid, giving
players new races for your characters to enjoy. The Lildrakens, with their
muscular body, make them excellent warriors; the Grassrunners are tricksters
with fantastic speed and dexterity and are not affected by magic; the Meria
combine high vitality and aptitude for magic, making them tough magicians.
   Now you can also use reputations to earn Adventurer Ranks, which will
help you spread your name worldwide. Many valuable items that can only be
obtained with reputation are now available.
    Of course, more than 100 unique and powerful monsters have been added
to the game to counteract these PCs' enhancements. GMs are encouraged to
use the abundance of monsters to torment, terrorize, and amuse the PCs to
their hearts' content.
    Standard Combat rules have also been added to enhance further the tactical
experience of fighting these more potent and more unique monsters.
                                                                                   8
        We also introduce the Dorden region to the north as a new adventure
    setting, the Burlight region, and many famous NPCs, which GMs can use for
    scenario ideas or as a reference when creating their NPCs.
        You have before you more mysteries, more threats, more power, and more
    techniques and tools to harness it than ever before. Please read this book
    carefully and put it to use in your adventures. Enjoy Sword World 2.5 even
    more.
Is it wealth that awaits you? Is it fame? Or will it be a cruel defeat and death?

            Additional Data for Character
                      Creation
         This section introduces the races for PC added in this "Core Rulebook II"
     and provides data that enables the creation of characters using these races.
         We also provide additional background tables that add the newly added
     classes and expand the variety of character creation in "Detailed Creation" (see
     CR I, p. 61).
        Starting on page 13, we have three sample characters that can be used in
     "Easy Creation" (see CR I, p. 20). They use the races added in this "Core
     Rulebook II" and newly added classes. If the new races and classes appeal to
     you, you may want to choose one of these characters.
     Healer
       The Meria Feytouched can act as a healer.
     Explorer
        Grassrunner Minstrel has a Scout class and can act as an explorer.
11
Knowledgeable
  The Meria Feytouched has a Sage class and can be a knowledgeable party
member.
                                                                              12
     Lildraken Bodybuilder
13
Character Description
    This is a Lildraken heavy warrior armed with a double-handed bludgeoning
weapon and metal armor.
    Lildrakens, also known as "Dragon Men," are Humanoids resembling
dragons. They are bipedal but can also fly for short periods using the wings on
their back.
    Their primary role is to attack with weapons. For this purpose, the
character is equipped with powerful weapons and armor. When the time
comes, the character can use the technique [Bear Muscle] to gain the strength
of a bear for a short time. They can deal tremendous damage when used in
conjunction with [Power Strike I].
    They can fly with the racial ability [Sword's Grace/Wings Of The Wind]
during battle, which makes it easier to avoid enemy melee attacks and easier to
hit with their own attacks. This is also a time-limited effect, so consider how to
use it. [Scaly Hide] is the racial ability to withstand attacks, and [Tail As
Weapon] allows using Tail as a weapon in an emergency.
    Show your attack power and durability to the fullest and stand proudly in
front of your enemies!
                                                                                     14

     Grassrunner Minstrel
17
Character Description
    This is a Grassrunner minstrel holding a small musical instrument.
    Grassrunners are Humanoid, but it is less clear how they came into being
than other races. Many Grassrunners don't care about that and just enjoy their
days.
    The Bard class can sing Spellsong, songs with special effects that resonate
over a wide area. Most of the effects are slight, but Bard class affects all
characters around indiscriminate and has no effect on constructs or similar
creatures.
    When the Spellsong is sung, the player accumulates the power of singing,
called "Rhythm." When the player has a certain amount, they can play the end
of a song called "Finale," which has a potent effect. The Finale that this
character has acquired is called [Finale: Spring Breeze] and can be used like
an offensive spell.
    They also have a high Scout class and can take the lead in exploration and
fighting. Although they cannot attack with weapons and cannot cast spells, they
are no less active than other characters.
    Play Spellsongs for each situation and control the battle as you wish!
                                                                                  18

     Meria Feytouched
21
Character Description
    Meria is one of the races endemic to the Alframe continent, close to the
forest and the land, which can be long-lived or short-lived, and although they
look different, they are treated as the same race.
    This character is a fairy tamer who does not handle weapons but mainly
uses Fairy Magic. The character can have 4 types of Fairy Magic from 6 types.
The four types can be changed daily, so you can choose the one that best fits
your mood, the composition of your group, and the purpose of your adventure.
    It is also possible to use basic spells to temporarily borrow the power of a
fairy, and by using the mako stone, it is possible to summon the desired fairy
for a short time. The fairy tamer will not be able to use Fairy Magic during this
time, so they will have to think about how to use it, but the summoned fairy
will become a reliable friend for the duration of the summon.
    Discover the characteristics of the elemental types and aid your friends with
the right spells for the situation!
                                                                                    22

            Additional Data for Detailed Creation
         We will introduce new races for the Detailed Creation of PCs from here.
         Additional background tables are also provided for the three classes added
     to this book: Fairy Tamer, Enhancer, and Bard.
         The procedure for creating a PC itself is the same as described in "Core
     Rulebook I," starting on page 61. Just add new background tables and races
     while using it.

     Trade Common.
     Restricted Classes: None
     Racial Abilities
     [Mana Interference]: Grassrunners do not have and cannot gain MP, even if a
     class or ability would otherwise do so. Mako Stones may still be used.
     However, if a Grassrunner succeeds on a Willpower check against a spell, they
     will be completely unaffected (treating the spell as if it were “Resistance: Neg”).
     [Natural Communication]: Grassrunners can understand plants and animals to
     a small degree. While this does not mean an entire conversation can be held,
     the Grassrunner can pick up on subtle expressions, such as if there is danger
     ahead or something wrong in the environment.

                                     Meria
    They look exactly like humans but have one or more flowers blooming
from prominent places such as the head, shoulders, and wrists. These flowers
bloom or wilt depending on their emotional state. Although they are sexually
dimorphic and quite similar to humans in external appearance, their internal
structure is simple, identical to that of plants, which may be why they tend to
be resilient and durable. Meria are a unique species, as they do not need to
sleep and they procreate in the form of seeds.
    While there is no difference in their ability, there are short-lived and long-
lived sub-species of Meria. Short-lived species take the form of an infant about
a week after the seed has been planted in fertile soil and reach adulthood in
about six months. Long-lived species take the form of an infant in about one
year and reach maturity at 20.
    Short-lived species live for about 10 years, while long-lived species live for
nearly 300 years.
Starting Languages: Meria can speak Sylvan, as well as speak, read and write
Trade Common.
Restricted Classes: None
Racial Abilities
[Thriving Life]: Meria do not need to sleep. At the beginning of the day (6:00
a.m.), their HP automatically recovers by 20% of its maximum value (rounded
up to the nearest whole number), and their MP recovers to its maximum value.
    They can sleep if they so choose, however they do not recover HP/MP
from it.

                                Language Details
         There are many different languages spoken all across Raxia. Although a
     brief description of each language was included in the "Core Rulebook I," this
     section provides a more extensive description of each language, including
     Draconic, Grassrunner, and Sylvan, which have been added to this Rulebook.

Description of Languages
Elvish
    Elvish is primarily spoken by elves. The language sounds so flowing that it
is reminiscent of music. Still, it is said to be difficult for other races to learn
because of its detailed grammatical rules and numerous vowels with minor
differences that are difficult to distinguish.
Sea Animal
   It is used by some sea-dwelling, intelligent animals and Mythical Beasts.
The language uses high-pitched sounds and can only be communicated
underwater. The vocabulary is not very large, and nor is there a written form.
Giantish
   Used by giants and trolls. It is characterized by its concise style of writing
and distinct pronunciation.
Grassrunner Language
    Grassrunner is, unsurprisingly, primarily used by Grassrunners. It is a
simple, easy-to-learn language with many straightforward expressions.
Although the grammar is simple, speakers of Grassrunner tend to use a lot of
abbreviations and slang in their conversations, making it difficult to understand
the meaning when you hear it.
Trade Common
   After the collapse of the Magitech Civilization, this language became
widespread among the merchants and adventurers who traveled around the
                                                                                      32
     world. It is based on Magitech but is simpler and easier to remember,
     characterized by its straightforward phrases.
     Ancient Celestial
         This language remains only on stone inscriptions, etc., so it is unknown
     how it is spoken.
         Tabbit prefers to use it to denote their titles, etc. It is said to have been the
     language of the ancient gods.
     Regional Dialect
        The indigenous dialect of a particular region. Each region has its own
     unique vocabulary.
     Draconic
        Used by dragons and their kin. In addition, Lildrakens know draconic,
     despite being humanoids. Dragons never developed a written language because
     they considered their own excellent memory absolute and did not think of
     keeping records. Because of the roars and the sound of air moving in and out
     between the fangs of the speaker, it is difficult for the average humanoid to
     pronounce and understand.
     Drakish
         This is the language used by Drakes, who are reputed to be Barbarous
     leaders. It is also called the higher Barbarous language because it is used as a
     common language by the ruling class of the Barbarous.
         It has very complex grammar, rich expressions, and strong pronunciation.
     Dwarven
         Dwarven is the language of the dwarves. It is characterized by a tendency
     to combine several words to form one long word. Pronunciation is clear, and
     when spoken too fast, it can make the speaker sound angry.
     Nosferatu Language
          Nosferatu is spoken by vampires, considered one of the ruling classes in
     the Barbarous society, and their dependents. Its grammar is elaborate and
     strict, all the while featuring a large number of homonyms that are based on
     the distinctions made by the grammar, making the language particularly
     difficult to learn.
33
Basilisk Language
    The language used by the Basilisks, who count themselves among the ruling
class of Barbarous society, is characterized by its soft pronunciation. It has
many long vowels and is not suited for fast speech. It avoids direct language
and uses many roundabout phrases, rhetorical questions, antonyms, and
sarcasm. Because of this, it is difficult to grasp the meaning of its idioms when
unfamiliar.
Barbaric
    A language designed to be understood by all the various Barbarous ( a
popular theory says that Drake created this language). It is made up of only
concise, direct phrases with a two-word syntax ("kill enemy," "I hungry," etc.).
Language is more like a set of codes than a language. It cannot convey complex
information.
Daemonic
    The language used by daemons. The language is characterized by
incantation-like phrases that are extremely difficult to understand. There is no
written documentation of any kind, and no written language has been handed
down.
Magitech
   This is a widely used language in the Al Menas period, which fell into ruin
about 300 years ago. It is simple and is also used to activate Magispheres.
Arcana
     This is the language of the Ancient Magic Civilization, believed to have
fallen about 3,000 years ago.
     It is challenging to pronounce and has been handed down only as
incantations. It is difficult to use in conversation but not impossible.
Sylvan
    The language used by fairies is characterized by a bouncy pronunciation. It
does not have an extensive vocabulary and is sometimes difficult to understand,
especially since neither past, present, nor future tenses exist. Fairy Magic can
be cast by speaking to fairies in this language. It has no written form.
Youma
   This language is used daily by Goblins, Kobolds, Hoodlings, Bolg, and
other Pack Barbarous. It lacks vocabulary and expressions, instead consisting
                                                                                    34
     of direct words. It is often pronounced menacingly and sounds jarring to
     humanoids.
     Aviary
         This is the language used by Garuda, which is also learned by some of the
     other winged Barbarous who are often under their command. It is
     characterized by intense and forceful language, with syllables clearly separated
     so as not to be drowned out by the wind.
     Lycant
         This language resembles animal cries, such as roars, barks, screeching, and
     unusual sounds.
         Historically, it has resembled animal sounds so much that it does not sound
     like a language being spoken to the uninitiated. It has a particularly rich hunting
     and fighting vocabulary and is adept at conveying emotions and feelings. Its
     writing is unique, expressed through strings and knots.
         There is also a simplified written form.
     Lizardman language
         It is spoken by the Lizardmen and some other Barbarous with reptilian
     heads.
         Derived from Draconic, it is pronounced very similarly and has many
     words in common. The grammar has been dramatically simplified, and the
     vocabulary is much reduced. Since the language is not as memory-dependent
     as draconic, they have created and used a scratchy writing system.
35
             PC Growth Addition
                       Growth to 10 Level
   Using Core Rulebook II, a character can grow up to 10 levels. The
experience points required to grow a class for each type are as follows.
                                                                            36
                        Enhanced Racial Abilities
        When a character reaches Adventurer Level 6 or higher, their racial
     Abilities are strengthened.
                                                                                       38

    Supplementary Skill Checks
    In this section, we add new skill checks and introduce the rules for retrying
the Skill Checks and reducing the time required.
Swim
Standard Value: Adventurer level + Agility modifier
Time Required: 1 minute (6 rounds) or 10 seconds (1 round)
Description: This check is used when swimming across a body of water. It also
reduces the inconvenience and disadvantages of being in the water.
   For more information on actions underwater, including how this check is
made, see page 74.
Investigation
Standard Value: Any class + Intelligence modifier
Time Required: 1 hour
Description: This check uses your social position to speak with an NPC to
obtain a clue to relating to a mystery.
   Depending on how the PC interacts with the contact, the GM should
determine the class used for the check.
   The GM determines the Target Number using the following table as a
guide. They may prepare multiple types or levels of clues and give them to the
PC according to the Success Value as indicated in the table.
                                                                                    40

Ask an innkeeper about recent business
    “I haven't heard from my business partner at the winery down south. It
seems they are having trouble getting their specialty fruit wine out to
customers.”
    “I've got a couple of customers who are heavy drinkers. They must be
under a lot of stress. It’s odd, they all wear silver feather ornaments…”
                                                                                    42
                          Retries of Skill Checks
         Some Skill Checks can be retried after failure. This section describes how
     to determine if an Skill Check can be retried and what to do if it can.
Retry that involves Cost or Risk (Time Required Remain the Same)
         For Skill Checks other than "Time Required: Instant," those that involve a
     cost or a risk can be retried by paying the cost or retaking the risk (if the
     situation permits), even following a failure.
         For example, if you perform a Search check in a room where the air is bad,
     and you potentially suffer damage if you stay in there for 10 minutes, you can
     retry after a failure. However, a further 10 minutes will be deemed to have
     passed, and the consequences of the bad air will be suffered again.
         For some Skill Checks, where the situation does not materially change,
     retrying the check simply results in more game time passing. For example, if
     you look for a hidden object with a Search check and fail to find it, you will not
     find anything, but the object will still be hidden. Unlike checks that come with
     a cost or a risk, the character who performed the Skill Check will not be subject
     to any ill effects.
         If the same PC continues to Search in such a case, the Time Required for
     the check will simply be increased (if another character performs the check, it
     should be performed as usual). Specifically, the Time Required is increased by
43
one level according to the diagram "Time Required for Retry of a Check.” The
check can be repeated, but the Time Required will be incremented by one
level for each failed attempt. For example, if you retry a check with a Time
Required of 1 minute (6 rounds), retrying that same check will consume 10
minutes (60 rounds) of time. If you retry the check again, it takes 1 hour.
     However, the limit is "1 week". When this is reached, all subsequent retries
will be made within the "1 week" time frame.
     If the time required is lengthy, you must concentrate on the task, except for
taking the minimum actions necessary to survive.
     A check can be retried if the success or failure is not apparent to the PC at
the time. For example, if you are unsure whether the Success Value of a Hide
check is sufficient to prevent you from being detected, you can retry the check,
striving to achieve a higher Success Value. If the new Success Value is lower,
the rerolled value must be used.
     If the situation allows, you can
try again even after an interruption
(e.g., if you are investigating a
document in the archives, if you
leave to go on an adventure, you
will be able to work on it again
once you return to the archive). If
the Class level, the Adventurer
level, or the Ability modifier of the
check changes during the break,
the Time Required of the check
will still be its original value.
                                                                                     44
                           Retrying Disable Device Check
         The Disable Device check, when attempting to disarm a trap, can be retried
     using these special rules.
         If the Disable Device check fails, the PC can immediately retry it using the
     same Time Required. However, if this retry fails, the trap will be sprung.
         It is also possible to make a normal retry, where Time Required is
     increased. In this case, failure will not activate the trap. Then, you can use a
     special retry, in which failure springs the trap, but Time Required remains
     unchanged. For this special check, the prior Time Required should be used.
     For example, if you fail once, retry with Time Required extended to 10
     minutes, fail again, and then retry with the special rule, the Time Required will
     be 10 minutes.
     Damaged Locks
         The GM can rule that when picking a lock, the mechanism is damaged by
     successive failed checks and that the check cannot be re-attempted because of
     that damage.
         In this case, a Disable Device check will be impossible, let alone opening it
     with the correct key! In such cases, the lock can only be opened using magic.
45
                               Note on Retries
   Some Skill Checks have their specific rules when retrying them. Here are
notes on such checks.
Acrobatics check
   This check can be retried, but it will take longer to travel the same distance.
Insight check
     This check is treated as having "Time Required: 10 seconds (1 round)". The
first retry will extend this to "Time: 1 minute (6 rounds)".
[Wordbreak]
    The use of the Major Action Combat Feat [Wordbreak] is not subject to
these retry rules and may be used on every Major Action if desired.
47
                Standard Combat
   The Standard Combat rules provide a more tactical approach to play than
Simplified Combat (see CR I, p. 118), as they allow for more control over
character positioning, which in Simplified Combat is limited to three areas.
Ranged attacks, a spell’s range and area of effect, and character movement all
have greater significance.
Flexible Skirmishes
                                                                                    48
         While using Standard Combat, units of distance less than 1m are ignored.
     Only a whole number of meters is used. Individual characters cannot end their
     movement at a fractional position.
         In the Standard Combat Rules, the term "coordinates" is used to indicate
     the location of a character. The term "sharing coordinates" does not mean that
     characters are in the same location but are indistinguishably close to one
     another. This is also the proximity at which characters can engage in melee
     attacks or use spells and effects with "Range: Touch" on each other.
49
Position of Multiple Characters
   Multiple characters can be located at the same coordinates, enemy or ally..
Coordinate Restrictions
    The GM may limit where characters can move to and the coordinates of
the starting point of a spell, etc., considering the situation on the battlefield. For
example, if the PCs encounter a monster waiting at the back of a room, there
can be no coordinates behind the monster’s position.
                                                                                         50
                Standard Combat Progression
        The combat procedure in Standard Combat is the same as in Simplified
     Combat and follows the Combat Procedure Chart below.
51
                           1. Combat Start Process
    Once the PCs and enemies have met, and it is inevitable that combat will
break out, the GM begins setting the stage for the fight.
1.1 Confirmation of Factions
1.2 Combat Preparation
1.3 Monster Knowledge Check
1.4 Initiative Check
    These are all the same as in Simplified Combat (see CR I, p. 121).
   Once the initial placement is finalized, the first Faction to act moves their
characters into position, one by one, in turn. No other characters can move
during the turn, precisely the same as in Simplified Combat.
                                                                                        52
         When the first Faction finishes its actions, it is the turn of the second
     Faction. After that, if the battle is over, the post-combat process is initiated (as
     in Simplified Combat).
Turn Basics
Movement
     Normal Movement
        For PCs, Move Speed is equal to their Agility score. More specifically, if a
     character takes a Normal Move, they move up to their Agility score in meters.
     Spells and effects can change a character's Move Speed, modifying it up and
     down, independently of their Agility. This is what separates Standard Combat
     from Simplified Combat.
Limited Movement – 3m
    If characters take a Limited Move, they may move up to 3m. However, if
the character's Move Speed is reduced to below 3m, they may only move that
distance instead.
Cannot Move
   As a rule, a character cannot move if they are engaged in melee (see p. 55).
Additionally, a character may be prevented from moving due to spell effects or
unique skills. Such a character can perform any Major and Minor Actions that
can be used with a Limited Move.
                                                                                   54
                          Melee and Skirmishes
        Characters that are attacking each other are said to be "in melee," and the
     area they occupy is "a skirmish." Under Simplified Combat rules, there was
     only one such skirmish on the battlefield, and handling it was pretty simple.
     However, Standard Combat allows for much more subtle movement and
     positioning, so more intricate rules are necessary.
Skirmish Outbreaks
         If characters hostile to one other are at the same coordinates, and at least
     one of them uses a melee attack, casts a “Range: Touch” spell, or activates a
     unique skill, then both characters are "in melee". And a skirmish breaks out at
     that position. However, if melee is already occurring there, no new skirmish
     will break out. The next time a new skirmish occurs, it will be handled by
     following the rules "Skirmishes and Characters" (see p. 56).
     Skirmish Range
         The range of a skirmish is determined by the number of participants.
     Characters on the edge of a skirmish area are still considered to be part of that
     skirmish. For example, if a character is 3m from the middle of a skirmish, and
     the skirmish area is 3m radius, then that character is involved. A maximum of
     20 characters can be part of a skirmish (as per the table).
55
                         Skirmishes and Characters
    If a melee has already broken out, and a character wishes to join it, there
are several rules, depending upon the specific situation.
Characters in Melee
  A character participating in melee combat is said to be "in melee." This allows
the character to make melee attacks and cast spells with "Range: Touch." Their
coordinates are the center point of the skirmish area.
Independent Characters
  Sometimes a character is in a skirmish area but does not wish to join the
ongoing melee. Such a character is considered independent. Each
independent character has its own coordinates, including the skirmish's center.
                                                                                         56
     Leaving Melee
         Generally, a character engaged in melee cannot move (see p. 53). However,
     a character that has declared “preparing to leave melee” on their previous turn
     may move in any way they wish.
          Additionally, if the number of characters in the melee from your Faction
     (other than yourself) is more than twice the number in the enemy Faction
     (whether in melee or independent), then you can immediately move and leave
     the skirmish.
Changing Skirmish
57
                     Example of Expanding Skirmish Size
    Suppose there is a skirmish with 5 participants, and a Botch is 4m away
from its center. The skirmish has 5 participants and so is 3m wide, front to
back; the Botch is outside the skirmish area.
    Another character, a Dive, moves to the skirmish center point and
announces their participation in the melee. At this point, no expansion of the
skirmish occurs. The Dive can only target the 5 people in the skirmish and
cannot interfere with the Botch, which remains out of range.
    The Dive makes a melee attack targeting a character in the skirmish. This
changes the number of participants in the melee to 6, expanding the skirmish
area to 4 meters. The Botch is now inside the skirmish and becomes
independent. If the Dive has the Combat Feat [Twin Strike], it can make a
second attack against the Botch, which is now in range.
    If the Dive falls due to a melee attack, the number of participants in the
melee will stay the same at 5, and no skirmish expansion occurs. The Botch
remains out of range.
Combining Skirmishes
    In Standard Combat, multiple skirmishes may occur on the battlefield. If
the center point of one skirmish is contained within another skirmish, the two
are combined into one.
    The center of the combined skirmish is the midpoint between the two
center points prior to merging. If the midpoint is not a whole number of
meters, it is shifted 0.5 m towards the larger skirmish. If the number of
combatants is the same, the GM decides where the new skirmish is centered.
    All characters in melee before the merger, regardless of which melee they
were in, are in melee afterwards, and their coordinates will be the new center
point. The skirmish size after the merger is re-calculated based on the number
of characters in melee.
    Combining separate skirmishes triggered by a new skirmish breaking out
or by the expansion of existing skirmishes. The merger happens immediately
after one of these occurrences.
Disappearing Skirmishes
    The existence of a skirmish is predicated on there being two Factions in
conflict. If, by any means, one of these Factions is unable to continue the fight,
the skirmish disappears.
                                                                                     58
                            Blocking Movement
        When a character moves, if there is a hostile character or a skirmish in their
     way, movement may be blocked.
59
so the Goblin can block Wolfe's movement at either 2m or 8m from the
Gremlin it is protecting.
    The Goblin chooses to move as close as possible to Wolfe, and so he is
stopped after advancing just 2 meters. Both characters move to this coordinate.
    Wolfe, prevented from approaching Gremlin, is forced to make a melee
attack against the Goblin as his Major Action. A skirmish results, with Wolfe
and Goblin as its participants.
Outside of Skirmish
  Characters outside of a skirmish seeking to block another’s movement
cannot specify coordinates lying within a skirmish as the blocking point.
Multi-Section Monsters
  A character can block the movement of a monster with up to twice as many
sections as themself, but no more. However, multiple characters can succeed,
whereas one cannot. If there are enough characters to bring the character-to-
section ratio to 1:2 or better (there are at least half as many characters as
sections), and all of the impeding characters can reach the same coordinates
using only Limited Movement, then its movement can be blocked at that point.
Formation of Skirmish
    When a character’s movement is blocked, a skirmish is usually formed
when a melee attack or other Action is performed. However, even if no Action,
including a melee attack, is taken, a skirmish occurs automatically at the end of
the moving character's turn. Both the moving and the blocking characters are
then engaged in melee.
    If a character with invisibility impedes a move, a skirmish occurs
immediately without waiting for the end of the turn (see p. 55).
                                                                                    60
                                 Blocking in Skirmish
     Independent Characters
        An independent character can assist those in combat to block movement.
     In doing so, they become active in melee, and their coordinates shift to the
     center of the skirmish.
        However, independent characters about to pass through a skirmish aren't
     counted on either Faction when determining the possibility of blocking
     movement.
     Restrictions
         A character outside a skirmish and a character inside the same skirmish
     cannot jointly block the movement.
         A character in a skirmish may not move to block a character who is
     prepared to leave the melee in the previous turn. Also, if the number of
     blocking characters in the skirmish is less than half the opposing characters (or
     sections) - other than the character attempting to leave - then their movement
     cannot be blocked.
     Other Notes
         If a character has their movement blocked successfully, and there are
     effects that key off the distance travelled, then the shortened distance is used
     for those effects.
61
    As mentioned above, this does not change the type of movement chosen.
Just because a character moved only 2m does not mean they took a Limited
Move, they were just blocked.
                                                                                    62
        Range and Area, Stray Shots and Shielding
Range
Wide-Area Effects
         Spells and effects that affect a large area are described as "Target: X area
     (Ym radius)/-". In Standard Combat, the "Radius: Ym" determines the area of
     effect. The part after the "/" ("Space," "All," or the number of targets from "5" to
     "20") is applied as in Simplified Combat.
     Characters in Skirmish
         If a wide-area effect is used and it includes a skirmish:
         Each character in melee will be the target if the skirmish center point is
     within range.
         Each independent character with the skirmish is a target if its unique
     coordinates are within range.
     Area: Line
         A spell of effect with "Area: Line" always affects the targeted character. Any
     characters in the direction of the shot lying within the range (distance) have a
     50% chance of being affected. This includes the starting and ending points, but
     the character creating the effect can remove themself as a target.
         Since the starting point is included, there is a risk of allies getting affected if
     a spell or an effect is used at the same coordinates as those allies. To avoid that,
     characters should use a Limited Move to move forward as little as one meter
     before using a spell or effect.
Stray Shots
63
same coordinates, there is a chance that the shot will stray. The target must be
chosen randomly from among all characters at the same coordinates.
Characters in Combat
  As mentioned above, characters in melee with one other share the same
coordinates at the center of a skirmish. Thus, if a shot is taken at one of the
characters, all those in that skirmish are potential targets.
Independent Characters
  Independent characters in a skirmish have unique coordinates. However, if
there are multiple independent characters at the same coordinates, they, too,
are subject to stray shots.
  Even if a character is independent, should their coordinates be the center of
a skirmish (i.e., immediately after falling unconscious), they are subject to stray
shots.
Same-Area Shooting
  Stray shots do not occur when one character in a skirmish is attacking a
character in the same skirmish.
Shielding
  To use a ranged attack, spell, or effect, the line of sight to the target must be
unobstructed. Skirmishes and hostile characters will shield any targets behind
them, preventing line of sight from being drawn beyond the shielding
character(s).
Shielded by a Skirmish
  For characters outside of a skirmish, the skirmish will shield any characters
beyond it. The Combat Feat [Hawk Eye] is required to shoot through a
skirmish. However, shooting directly into the skirmish does not require any
Combat Feats.
  If a character is shooting from inside a skirmish, other characters are not
shielded.
                                                                                      64
     Characters in the Melee Area do not create Individual Shields
      Friendly characters do not shield others from shots under any circumstances.
65
     The warrior Wolfe and the sorcerer Pete are adventuring together as
companions. They are in the middle of a battle with some Barbarous. On their
Faction’s turn, the characters’ positions are Wolfe [6] and Pete [1], so Wolfe
is 5 meters ahead of Pete.
     Wolfe is heavily wounded at this point, and his HP are dangerously low.
His only means of recovery is Pete's healing potion.
     Pete decides to pass the potion to Wolfe while moving forward. Pete
chooses a Normal Move and advances as far as his movement of 7 allows (Pete
is slow). His ending coordinates are [8]. At this point, Pete drops the Round
Shield in his left hand (Minor Action), as the healing potion must be held to
hand it to Wolfe (see CR I, p. 140). Pete’s magical implement (in his right
hand) is too important to drop. Pete then takes out the potion, holds it in his
left hand (Minor Action), and ends his turn by declaring that he will hand it
over to Wolfe (Major Action).
     Next, Wolfe acts. He has been holding his Bastard Sword in both hands,
so he first changes it to one-handed (Minor Action). This leaves one hand free
to receive the potion. Then, Wolfe moves forward to coordinates [12] to
ensure Pete's safety. His movement is 13, so a Normal Move is sufficient.
Whilst moving, Wolfe receives the potion from Pete once he reaches the
coordinates [8] (Minor Action). Wolfe continues and completes his move,
ending at coordinates [12]. He then drinks the potion (Major Action) and
succeeds in recovering some of his HP.
Leaving Skirmish
Note on [Cover]
                                                                                     66
     If the User of the Combat Feat is in Skirmish
          If the specified character is in the same skirmish, the [Cover] effect occurs.
          If the character declaring [Cover] is independent, they will enter melee, and
     their coordinates will shift to the center point of the skirmish. If the character
     targeted by [Cover] is independent, they will also join the melee, and their
     coordinates will be moved to the same point.
67
       Rules for Special Damages and
                  Situations
    This section adds an additional type of damage that can be dealt to
characters. Also, we will add rules for special situations such as restricted sight
and hearing, underwater or aerial actions and combat, and weapons and armor
that exceed equipment limits.
                            Fixed Damage
   Fixed Damage is a type of damage that, when indicated, is immediately
dealt to a character as Applied Damage.
   Fixed Damage has the following properties.
                                                                                      68
                                     Invisibility
         Some spells and monsters' unique skills make characters invisible. Also,
     fairy monsters are invisible to Runefolk (see p. 397).
         Invisibility is handled as follows, assuming that characters perceive the
     external world mainly through vision. If they are not dependent on sight,
     invisibility will not affect their ability to perceive invisible creatures. On the
     other hand, if the vision is inhibited and a character cannot see, follow this
     same process - everything for them will be “invisible”.
     Area: Line
        For "Area: Line" effects, targets must be visible.
Other penalties
   If a monster's description of invisibility includes some other effects, apply
them also.
Other Notes
                                                                                     70
                  Modification for Auditory Skills
         A PC may be penalized for deafness or when conducting checks in very
     noisy locations.
         A deaf PC will gain a penalty for poor hearing, according to the following
     table, for First Aid checks, Disable Device checks, Pickpocket checks,
     Accuracy checks, Hide checks, Evasion checks, Initiative checks, Follow
     checks, Notice checks, Listen checks, Danger Sense checks, Search checks,
     Meteorology checks, Spot Trap checks, and Performance checks. For Listen
     checks, penalties are harsher, and if a PC is deaf in both ears, Listen checks
     cannot be made at all.
         The GM may also apply this penalty to other Skill Checks, according to
     circumstances. Alternatively, the GM may elect not to penalize any of the
     checks above if they deem that hearing is not necessary.
         On the other hand, if hearing is impaired, Willpower checks against
     Spellsongs (see p. 102) and Finales (see p. 105) get the bonus specified in the
     "Resistance against Spellsongs, Finales" table. If deaf in both ears, the character
     automatically succeeds against Spellsongs (even against Spellsongs with
     "Resistance: Can't"); against Finales, the character enjoys a +4 bonus to the
     Willpower check.
71
   Underwater Behavior and Combat Preparations
    A character’s mobility and movement are severely limited when a
significant portion of their body is underwater.
    The following rules apply if a character is waist deep or more in water. They
are not applied if the depth is not at least that.
    In the case of the Humanoid races, including PCs, we have divided the
resulting restrictions into three categories: "in waist deep water”, “shoulder
deep in water" and “whole body underwater, including the head.” Each
category is used in the following rules. The GM decides which is appropriate,
according to the situation.
    The GM should determine which restrictions apply to non-humanoid
characters on a case-by-case basis. As a rule of thumb, if half of the body is
underwater, it should be considered "in waist deep water"; if almost the entire
body is underwater but still breathing, "shoulder deep in water"; and if the entire
body is submerged, "whole body underwater, including the head" should be
used.
                                                                                      72
           Effects Underwater
           When considering the use of a spell or unique skills underwater,
     assuming the character can cast a spell underwater, the spell works the same
     way as on land, no matter what the effect would be. As a rule, no special
     treatment is required. [Fireball] will cause fire type damage to the same area
     and with the same power underwater, and [Lightning] will not cause special
     checks or effects just because it is in water (a good conductor of electricity).
Underwater Restrictions
Swim
Standard Value: Adventurer Level + Agility modifier
Time Required: 1 minute (6 rounds) or 10 seconds (1 round)
Description: This check allows a character to swim across a body of water. It
also reduces the disadvantages of being in the water.
Swimming State
    A character who successfully completes a Swim check will enter the
Swimming state, regardless of the depth of the water. The Swimming state is
almost the same as the "underwater below the waist" - movement is halved, and
Full Moves are not possible. Action checks suffer a -2 penalty, but this does
not apply to ranged attacks, singing, breathing, or speaking.
    The Swimming state differs from the “in waist deep water" in that it is
affected by the presence of a current. If there is a current in the water,
movement in the Swimming state will be affected by it. For example, if a
swimmer tries to swim against a current of 1 meter per second, the distance
travelled in 10 seconds (1 round) will be reduced by 10 meters. In this case, if
the movement is less than 10, the swimmer will be forced backwards by the
                                                                                   74
     current after some futile effort. On the other hand, if they try to swim with the
     current, their movement will increase, and they will be swept downstream 10
     meters in 10 seconds or 60 meters in 1 minute.
         This is also the case if they choose Limited Move as the type of movement.
     In the above situation, if a swimmer tries to move 3m upstream using a Limited
     Move, they will be swept 7m downstream. The effect does not change simply
     because swimmer made a Limited Move.

                                                                                     76
     rounds). If they do not want roll a Swim check, they can stand, keeping their
     feet on the bottom, assuming the water is shallow enough.
77
Swim check Made During Combat
    Swim checks during combat should be made every 10 seconds (1 round),
unlike when not so engaged. The check is made at the beginning of the
character's turn and during Combat Preparation. If successful, the character is
in the Swimming state for the next 10 seconds (1 round), i.e., until the start of
their next turn. If the check is failed, they are no longer swimming (see the
table before). Unlike in non-combat situations, neither movement nor Actions
are possible following a failed roll.
    If the “Whole Body is Underwater” and the character continues to fail
Swim checks for Vitality consecutive rounds, the character will drown.
                                                                                    78

     Falling Prone
         If, because of some effect, a flying character must “fall prone”, they
     immediately fall 10 meters. If their height above the ground is less than that,
     they hit the ground and suffer damage (see CR I, p. 143), ending up prone.
         If the distance to the ground is over 10m, they can regain their composure
     and stay in the air after a 10m fall. They do not take any damage but will suffer
     a -2 penalty to Action checks (see CR I, p. 114) for the next 10 seconds (1
     round) or until the beginning of their next turn.
     Becoming Unconscious
        A flying character who falls unconscious will drop to the ground. They
     cannot perform a Tumble check (see CR I, p. 104) to reduce damage.

than that, suffering damage. In this case, the falling damage is equal to the
“falling distance - 10m” for a flying character.
                                                                                       80

it should not be applied.

        As a rule, if the minimal strength exceeds the Strength of the character, a
     penalty of -1 for each point exceeded is applied to Accuracy checks.
        If a hit still occurs, the damage calculation is performed as usual.
Shield Restrictions
83
Minimal Strength Restrictions
    If the minimal strength of a shield exceeds the character's Strength, the
shield can be equipped, but its bonus to Evasion checks should be ignored
(and the penalty, if any, should be applied). In addition, the missing Strength
is applied as a penalty to Evasion checks. Defense will still be added.
Armor Restrictions
                                                                                  84
     - Grappler Only Armor
         Armor annotated with “Grappler Only” is only subject to minimal strength
     and rank restrictions when “Equipping” it. If these are not in question, the
     armor is treated as “Equipped.”
         However, only the Grappler class can perform Evasion checks using their
     class when “Grappler Only” armor is “Equipped.” Other Warrior-Type
     Classes cannot perform Evasion checks. The character can use any Warrior-
     Type Classes in their attacks, even if they are wearing the “Grappler Only”
     Armor.

Armor Restrictions by Rank
   Armor of a higher rank cannot be “Equipped” without the corresponding
[Armor Proficiency */Armor". The character can only "Wear" the armor.
                                                                                 86
        Addition and Extension of Classes
         This section introduces additional rules for classes in Sword World 2.5.
     Specifically, the Conjurer class now includes rules for creating and using
     golems and undead, and the Priest class now has rules for how MP is affected
     by the God they worship. Three new classes are added to the game: Fairy
     Tamer, Enhancer, and Bard.
         Characters whose Conjurer class has reached the 3rd level can create
     golems and undead with the [Create Golem] and [Create Undead] spells. The
     types of golems and undead created by PCs are limited to a few types. Each
     type has its own level (apart from spell mastery) and requires having the
     Conjurer class at that level. The MP consumption also differs depending on
     the type of monster to be created.
         Special materials are required for each of the creation processes.
87
Materials for Making Golem
    Each golem has defined materials required for its creation, which are
needed when casting [Create Golem].
    There are two types of materials used in creating golems: normal materials
and advanced materials. Normal materials are consumed at the time of
creation and cannot be recovered. On the other hand, advanced materials can
be recovered and used again after the spell's duration has expired or when the
caster's Will has been broken. However, no materials cannot be retrieved if
the golem's HP falls below 0.
                                         Advanced materials cannot be
                                     recovered when deemed lost, such as
                                     when a golem is left on the battlefield and
                                     the Conjurer flees, or when the golem has
                                     sunk to the bottom of the sea. The GM
                                     will make the ruling regarding such
                                     situations.
                                                                                   88

                     Commanding Golem or Undead
    Golems and undead can be given commands when they are created.
However, current technology limits the commands they can carry out. You can
find possible commands below. GMs may add more commands of equal
complexity.
    The [Command] spell (see p. 138) and a Command Stone (see p. 222) can
be used to override another command.
Obey Command
    Golems or undead will obey instructions given sequentially by the creator.
Under this command state, golems or undead will not move unless instructed
to do so.
    The creator can only give one command to a golem or undead per round
(10 seconds) using a Minor Action. Only one monster can be the instruction
target, and multiple golems or undead cannot be moved simultaneously.
    Instructions must be detailed and specific. If the creator wants a golem or
undead to attack, they must give clear orders on attacking and targeting the
attack. The command is only valid for one round after receiving it. The creator
will need to provide new instructions in the next round, even if the command
repeats the previous one.
    Golems or undead take their turn immediately after the creator's turn; the
golem or undead’s turn cannot be before that of their creator.
    A golem or undead can be instructed to block enemies’ movement and
enter skirmishes. Only one monster per creator per round is allowed to
perform this command.
    Even in non-combat situations, only one monster can act at a time with
specific orders. This makes it impossible to have the creatures work together,
and it is stressful to have more than one of them around in this state, as two
will inevitably halve the marching speed of a party, and three will cut it by one-
third.
Defend Command
   This command specifies a target location or an object, and a golem or
undead executes an attack against anything approaching that location or object.
The command can only specify a location or an object and cannot indicate a
specific character, including the caster. Also, golems and undead cannot move
away from the location/object more than their Normal Move distance. If the
object is moved beyond its range, the order is automatically discarded, and the
                                                                                     90
     golem or undead becomes commandless (see below). The same applies if the
     target object is destroyed.
         The caster can provide conditions under which the golem or undead will
     attack, as follows.
     “Except for caster” (This condition allows only the caster, and the characters
     present at the creation time, to be expressly excluded.)
     “Without the use of the password XX.”
     “No red on the head.”
         The GM decides how the golem or undead attack. However, the caster can
     limit how the golem or undead attacks to a particular method (it cannot be
     varied by attack target).
         It is not uncommon to find multiple golems or undead, having the same
     (or similar) orders, guarding a single place or object simultaneously.
         A Command Stone must be used to change the location or object to be
     guarded, any password, or other conditions.
     Follow Command
          With this command, the golem or undead will follow the caster or a
     specified character. Usually, it's a caster or other golem or undead in an “Obey
     Command” state. If the GM allows, a golem or undead can follow a non-
     character creature or an object that is moving for some reason. Golems or
     undead in this state will continue to move after the target. If there is an obvious
     obstacle, they will go around it. Also, if other characters follow as well, they will
     follow in an orderly line beside or behind the target. This allows the caster to
     move multiple golems or undead at the same time.
          Golems in this state cannot bypass hidden traps or devices. If there are
     such, they will be easily caught in them. Also, they cannot perform any Actions
     other than to move.
          If a golem or undead loses sight of the target, it will move to the last point
     it saw the target. If it still cannot find the target, it will switch to a commandless
     state (see below).
          The caster must use a Command Stone to change the target or to instill a
     new command.
     Commandless State
         This command is usually not selected by casters. Golems or undead will be
     in this state if they are unable to execute an order that has been given to them.
91
Such golems or undead will continue to stand in position without moving or
performing any Action.
   A Command Stone must be used to change the state of the golem or
undead.
                                                                                   92
          Priest Additions: God’s Powers and Areas of Influence
         The Gods of Raxia are divided into three categories: the Ancient Gods, the
     Major Gods, and the Minor Gods (see CR I, p. 324). Generally, the Ancient
     Gods are worshipped throughout Raxia, the Major Gods are worshipped on a
     particular continent, and the Minor Gods' followers are concentrated in one
     region to which the particular deity has some connection.
         The distribution of believers affects the power of the deity. It is difficult for
     a God to exert power over a place beyond its sphere of influence. Especially
     for Minor Gods with a small number of followers, deterioration of power can
     be significant.
         This manifests itself as an increase in the MP cost of the Priests’ spells.
     Priests of Major or Minor Gods will have to pay additional MP when casting
     spells if they leave the area of influence of their God. This MP increase must
     be accounted for before any multiplication, such as multiplying cost when
     selecting multiple sections using spells with “Target: 1 Character X”.
        Priests of Major and Minor Gods can avoid the MP increase that comes
     from being outside their influence by strengthening their connection to their
     God, spreading divine teachings, and gathering followers.
        This can be done in two ways.
     Small Shrine
        A holy shrine is a place of communion with Gods. 1000G and 3 days of
     work are required to create a holy shrine for a Priest. Once the shrine is built,
     no MP increase will occur within a 1km radius of it.
        This effect will be lost if the shrine is defiled or destroyed for some reason.
93
Missions
    If a God can gain followers equal to 1/200th of the city's population (say,
10 followers for a town of 2,000 people), then no MP increase will occur within
that city for PC priests of that God.
    To do this, Priests must create a temple, whether a holy shrine or a
makeshift temple and provide a place for believers to worship daily. The
believers must be passionate enough to visit the temple at least once a week, if
not every day. Tabbit and Runefolk cannot be counted as believers.
                                                                                   94
                            Fairy Magic Conditions of Use
     Movement Restriction
       If a PC casts Fairy Magic, movement on their turn is restricted to a Limited
     Move.
     Vocalization
        To cast Fairy Magic, the caster must speak to call out to the fairy. If they
     cannot speak, they cannot use Fairy Magic.
        Nightmares in [Alternate Form] can cast Fairy Magic without speaking.
     Armor Restrictions
         When casting Fairy Magic, a Spellcasting check is made with a -4 penalty if
     the caster is wearing metal armor. Non-metallic armor and shields may be worn
     or equipped without penalty.
         Nightmares in [Alternate Form] do not suffer this restriction.
  There are two kinds of Fairy Magic: Basic Fairy Magic and Typed Magic.
There are six types of Typed Magic: earth, water/ice, fire, wind, light, and dark.
      Terminology: Rank
      The term Spell Rank is used instead of spell level for Typed Fairy Magic.
This is a preparation for future enhancements and can be regarded as the same
as the spell level in this book.
   Each day at 6:00 a.m., the user of Fairy Magic may select four new types of
Typed Fairy Magic.
                                                                                     96
                           Summoning and Using Fairies
         The Fairy Tamer can summon and use fairies by casting the [Summon
     Fairy Z] (where Z is a Roman numeral) Basic Fairy Magic spell. The fairy that
     can be summoned must match one of the four types selected for the day by
     the caster.
                              Enhancer Class
     Enhancer                                        Other-type Minor Class
        Enhancers are a very physical class who use their body and mana to create
     advantages in battle. It is not a class that makes use of weapons but uses non-
     magical Techniques with associated special effects.
        The Enhancer class cannot be used to make Skill Checks. Also, since it is
     not Wizard-Type Class, it doesn’t increase MP.
Term: Technique
Acquiring Techniques
97
                      Techniques: Conditions of Use
Movement Restriction
    When using a Technique, movement is restricted to a Limited Move or a
Normal Move. Full Move cannot be selected for the turn where a Technique
is used.
Breath
    Techniques are special breathing effects; they cannot be used if a character
is not breathing.
    Vocalization is unnecessary.
Use of Techniques
Targets of Techniques
     Techniques are trained skills that strengthen and change the body.
Techniques are only able to affect the character performing them.
     Even in the case of a character with multiple sections, no other sections can
be used as targets. However, in most cases of a character with multiple sections,
all sections can use Techniques individually.
MP Cost
   Techniques consume MP when used. Unless stated otherwise, a
Technique costs 3 MP to activate. This may change due to Combat Feats or
may be drawn from a mako stone. Of course, only one mako stone may be
used at a time.
Ending a Technique
   Techniques with a duration may be ended at the user's discretion, as a
Minor Action.
                                                                                     98
       Techniques are not magical, so they cannot be removed with the [Dispel
     Magic] spell. The Combat Feat [Wordbreak] can remove the Technique.
99
                               Bard Class
Bard                                         Other-type Minor Class
    Bards play musical instruments, sing songs, and produce various supportive
or hindering effects on nearby listeners.
    For every level Bard acquired, a character learns to speak, but not read, any
one new language. Choose from the list of languages (see p. 31).
    Bards are proficient in the following:
Performance Check
Standard Value: Bard Level + Spirit Modifier
Time Required: Instant
Description: Performance checks allow Bards to perform Spellsongs and
Finales.
Bardic Power
   This value represents the potency of bardic effects.
   Bardic Power is very similar to Magic Power for Wizard-type classes.
Spellsongs
    Spellsongs are a special type of music and song used by Bards that have
various psychic effects on those who hear them. There are several types, and
Bards of higher levels can use them differently depending on the situation.
    As a rule, Spellsongs are of the Psychic type. The effects of Spellsongs
generally support or hinder others.
Finales
    Finales are special performances played when certain conditions are met
by a Spellsong. They allow the Performer to create direct attack or recovery
effects that cannot be created by a Spellsong.
    There are several types of Finale. Each has different conditions and effects.
                                                                                    100
      Rhythm
          Rhythm is generated when performing Spellsongs. Accumulating it to a
      specific value creates the conditions for playing a Finale. Also, some Spellsongs
      are only effective when there is an accumulation of Rhythm.
          There are three types of Rhythm: Uplifting (⮭), Calming (⮯), and
      Enchanting (♡), and each Spellsong generates a different amount of these. The
      extent to which each of them will be accumulated and combined, as well as the
      conditions required for the Finale and for special Spellsongs, also vary.
          In the data for Spellsongs, Finales, and items, each type of Rhythm is
      represented by its corresponding icon.
101
    When enough Rhythm is accumulated, it may be expended in a Finale to
directly harm foes or heal friends. This is basically how Bards participate in
combat.
    When a Finale is used, the Bard's Rhythm is reduced by a specific amount.
Afterward, the Bard should strive to generate more Rhythm via Spellsongs,
saving up so they can deliver another Finale.
    Each time a character takes a level in the Bard class, they may choose one
Spellsong or Finale from the following lists and learn it. Some songs require a
minimum Bard level and cannot be learned by Bards of a lower level. For
example, a 5th Level Bard will know five different songs (such as 3 Spellsongs
and 2 Finales) and would be able to learn any Spellsong or Finale that requires
a 5 or fewer levels in the class.
Movement Restrictions
  When using a Spellsong or Finale, a Bard may only make a Limited Move.
                                                                                  102
            Summary of Playing and Singing
            An Instrument that cannot play a melody always receives a -4 penalty on
      Performance checks, and the Bard must sing in any Spellsong or Finale.
         A wind Instrument that does not allow Singing cannot be used to perform
      Spellsongs that require singing, but there is no other penalty.
Performing Spellsongs
      Spellsong Duration
          The effects of a Spellsong only last for 10 seconds (1 round), with a few
      exceptions. That is, a normal Spellsong ends at the beginning of Bard's next
      turn.
          If a Bard performs multiple Major Actions and uses multiple Spellsongs
      during a turn, a Performance check is required each time to determine the
      result, and the Success Value is always the most recent one.
Conditional Spellsongs
   Some Spellsongs have conditions for their effect to take place. Such
Spellsongs do not take effect unless the necessary amount and type of Rhythm
have been accumulated through previous Spellsongs.
   Even if the accumulated Rhythm is insufficient to cause an effect, such
Spellsongs will still generate the listed Rhythm.
Characteristics of Spellsongs
    Spellsongs are not magical and do not react to spells that detect Magic
Power, such as [Sense Magic]. But they can be removed with the Combat Feat
[Wordbreak].
    The effect of a Spellsong is of the Psychic type, with some exceptions. Some
are Psychic (weak).
                                                                                   104
                                       Using Finales
      Finale Duration
         All Finales have "Duration: Instant".
      Finale Characteristics
         Many Finale attacks cause magical damage. Some Finales may have the
      Wind or Bludgeoning type. These can also damage characters who are
      immune to the Psychic type.
105
                             Managing Rhythm
Rhythm Attrition
     If no Spellsong is being played by the Bard at the beginning of their turn,
all three Rhythm totals will be reduced by 1. However, if the Bard played a
Finale in the previous turn, this reduction does not occur.
Finale Cost
   When a Bard uses a Finale, Rhythm is immediately reduced by the amount
specified by the Finale's Cost.
                                                                                   106
          Note that the consumption of Rhythm does not occur even if a Spellsong
      that has a condition of effect is used.
Pets
         Some Bards are skilled enough to charm various animals to follow them,
      who can assist in the Bard's performances. Rules for these pets are detailed
      below.
      Buying Pets
          When a character gains their 3rd level in the Bard class, they may choose
      to have a pet aid them in playing Spellsongs. These pets are selected from small
      birds, frogs, and insects. Each of the three types may only perform specific
      kinds of Spellsongs.
107
    While specific species and individual characteristics should be hashed out
between the player and GM, these pets do not have any HP or MP, nor do
they have any in-game features outside of these Spellsong-related abilities.
    At the 5th level and 7th level, a Bard may take an additional pet, to a
maximum of 3 pets, at any given time.
    The minimum price for a pet is 100G. You can acquire more expensive
pets, but they will not have any additional mechanical effects.
Spellsong by Pet
     When the Bard begins performing a Spellsong, unless specifically ordered
not to, Bard's pets will start to perform along with them. As yet, the benefit of
a pet's assistance is not apparent.
     At the start of the next round, the pet's benefit begins. The pet will continue
the Bard's Spellsong, allowing its effects to continue, even if the Bard ceases to
use any Spellsongs themselves.
     However, only one Spellsong at a time may be carried forward by a pet.
For a pet to start or continue a new Spellsong, any pets that are currently
performing must first be ordered to stop.
     A Bard can use a Minor Action to signal one of their pets to stop
performing. This signal can be a simple gesture or word and does not need to
be unique for each pet. If a Bard has multiple pets, they may stop each pet's
performance individually.
     Furthermore, a Bard cannot signal another Bard's pets to stop singing, even
if they learn the gestures and words to do so.
     Once a pet stops its performance, it cannot resume it independently. Only
when the Bard begins a new Spellsong will any pets be able to start assisting
them again.
                                                                                       108
      Pet's Spellsong Area of Effect
          Regardless of the Bard’s class level, a pet's area of effect will always be 2-3
      areas (10m Radius). The pet will sit on the shoulders of the Bard, in their
      pockets, or some other out-of-the-way spot, keeping their position with them.
      Like with the Bard, usually, if the pet moves, the area of effect moves with
      them.
          Pets can continue to perform even if the Bard takes a Normal Move or a
      Full Move. However, if the pet leaves its owner, any Spellsong it is performing
      will end immediately.
      Targeting Pets
          Typically, any pets accompanying a Bard cannot be targeted by an attack
      and are not included in any wide-area effects. However, if the Bard uses the
      pet for something other than singing Spellsongs (such as if they wanted to use
      a pet bird as a carrier pigeon), then this protection is lost. When exposed to
      the dangers of dungeons and combat, it will be almost impossible for a pet to
      survive.
          Ultimately, though, the survival of the pet rests with the GM.
109
Reputation and Adventurer Rank
   PCs earn Reputation through their adventures. They can then use their
Reputation to advance in their Adventurer Rank in the Adventurer's Guild. By
achieving a high rank, the PCs become known and respected worldwide.
   Reputation can also be used to obtain equipment with special effects or
exclusive equipment.
    When exchanging for cash, the value of a sword shard is 200G. Sometimes,
a patron or someone who desires Reputation comes along and offers a higher
price, but this is ultimately up to GM. On the other hand, the opportunity for
a PC to purchase sword shards should be highly unlikely.
    To gain Reputation, the sword shards should be donated to the
Adventurers' Guild. Sword shards donated in this way prove that the PCs have
contributed to society and survived enough dangers to earn sword shards.
    If the players choose to donate sword shards, a representative PC should
roll 1d for each piece to determine how much Reputation they earn. For each
dice roll, all the characters involved in the adventure are awarded that amount
of Reputation (it is not divided by the number of people involved). At the end
of each session, players should decide whether to exchange sword shards for
cash or donate them in exchange for Reputation. They may allocate some as
                                                                                  110
      cash and the rest as Reputation, but this must be done before the dice are rolled
      to determine the gained Reputation.
          Once they have decided to donate the sword shards and rolled the dice,
      they cannot then decide to exchange them for cash, even if they are dissatisfied
      with the result.
          In principle, sword shards should be processed within the session in which
      they are obtained. However, if there is a guarantee in the campaign (see CR I,
      p. 378) that the PCs will not be replaced 100 percent of the time, it is possible
      to withhold some or all the sword shards and keep them for later use.
Filling Reputation
111
                          Renowned Items
    Using the Reputation earned from sword shards, PCs can obtain special
items called Renowned Items.
Personal Equipment
Specialty Items
          There are rare items in the world that cannot be mass-produced. For
      example, rare materials are required by skilled artisans with long waiting lists
      or when a special horse is born. Since these items are the target of collectors,
      they are not always available on the open market, and connections must be
      made to acquire them. They are also used to build connections.
          PCs can obtain these specialty items by using Reputation. In the list of items
      (see p. 212), the prices are annotated with "+XX reputation". The PC must use
      the indicated amount of Reputation and pay the price (in gamel) when
      purchasing the item.
          These specialty items are better versions of commonly available items.
      Unlike personalized equipment, another PC can borrow and use them to full
      effect.
113
                                Adventurer Rank
    Adventurers can earn improvements in Adventurer Rank by spending
Reputation. Adventurer Rank is the Adventurer Guild's guarantee of an
individual’s competence, and a high Rank alone is enough to attract the public's
attention.
                                                                                            114
         Adventurer Rank - Sword of Genesis
         After reaching the Swords of Genesis level, each promotion is indicated by
      adding a "★" to the Adventurer's Rank.
         Adventurers who have reached the rank of Sword of Genesis may use titles
      such as "Lumiere," "Cardia," "Sword of Genesis," or "Genesis" to refer to their
      rank. Whether the "★" is placed before or after the rank name is rather
      inconsistent (Genesis★ or ★Genesis). This is because the number of
      adventurers who have reached this rank is so small, and personal style tends to
      prevail.
115
branches in the city where they applied. If they are a Swords of Genesis★2
rank adventurer, then the PC's name is known throughout the continent.
     The Adventurer Rank Certificate issued bears the name of the Branch that
first accepted the application. It is a great honor for Branches to produce high-
ranking adventurers. It is also highly effective in terms of publicity and is why
each Branch treats adventurers so generously.
                                                                                    116
          If they leave this area, they will be treated as a nobody, but if they present
      their Rank Certificate, they will be treated appropriately. In return, they will
      often be asked to share their adventures.
      Title
          Once a PC has attained an Adventurer Rank, they are publicly allowed to
      take on a title. Of course, anyone can assume a title, but whether or not it will
      be accepted by the public is another matter. The Adventurer Rank guarantees
      that others will call PC by their title and that it is as valid as their real name.
      The area in which the title is accepted is the same as in which the PCs receive
      the benefits above (outside of that area, the PCs' title and existence are
      unknown).
          The title may be chosen freely, but if it is obvious that someone else already
      has it, it cannot be used. If a coincidence occurs later, the PC may continue to
      use the title, but those with higher Adventurer Ranks tend to be treated as
      associated with the title.
          Once a title is set, it usually remains the same, but some change it for a
      fresh start or to escape a situation. If the PCs wish to change their title, they can
      do so once they have attained a new, higher Adventurer Rank.
117
Payment in Advance
    Adventurers may request a cash advance from the Adventurers' Guild
based on future rewards. This is interest-free, but the adventurer must repay
the loan by deducting the amount from subsequent adventures' rewards. The
higher the Adventurer's Rank, the greater the maximum amount that can be
borrowed.
    At the "Hollow" stage, when a PC has no Adventurer Rank, they can borrow
up to 300G. At the Dagger level, they can borrow up to 500 G. At the Rapier
level, they can borrow up to 1,000 G. Thereafter, they can borrow up to
5,000G at the Flamberge level, 10,000 G at the Hyperion level, and so on.
After that, the amount gradually increases to 5,000G per rank increase.
                                Disgrace
    Disgrace is recorded and added up when a PC commits a dishonorable act;
the more significant the Disgrace, the more unwelcome the PC in society and
the more disadvantage they will suffer.
    The PCs can be reasonably spared from the effects of Disgrace by gaining
Adventurer Ranks (see p. 116).
                                                                                    118
                                   Disgrace Acquisition
Impact of Disgrace
          Disgrace adds up, and once it reaches a specific value, the PC suffers
      various disadvantages from bad publicity. This is limited to services provided
      through the Adventurers Guild.
          A character with a high Adventurer Rank will not suffer any adverse effects
      below a Prevention Rank, but if Disgrace exceeds the value that can be covered
      by the Adventurer Rank, they must suffer the full adverse effects (i.e., all or
      nothing).
Offsetting Disgrace
Offset by Reputation
   Spending Reputation can reduce Disgrace on a 1:1 point basis.
                                                                                120
      Additions to the Fellow Action Chart
         This section will describe how to fill in the Fellow Action Chart with the
      new elements from Core Rulebook II.
         The items to be entered in the Table of Actions (actions, dialogues, Success
      Values, and effects) and their formats are based on the descriptions in Core
      Rulebook I (see CR I, p. 200).
          Actions that cast Fairy Magic can be entered like other basic spellcasting
      (see CR I, p. 206).
      Example:
          [Fire Bolt], Range 1 (10m), MP3            “Burn!”    12    Power 10+5
Techniques
         Since techniques are used with Minor Action, they should be added to the
      Melee Attack used with Major Action. Do not forget to enter the MP cost.
         Some techniques have a duration, but the Fellow's actions are not
      considered, and MP must be consumed for each action. In this sense, [Muscle
      Mystery] (see p. 203) loses its value in the description of Fellow's action.
      Example:
          Declare [Cover I] using        “This attack will      Defense 9, Magic
                                                           -
            [Beetleskin], MP3              not pass.”             Damage -5
      Multiple Techniques
          Multiple techniques can be entered in the same column, and the values
      with all their effects can be used.
          Naturally, the MP cost should be summed. It is not possible to pay the cost
      only partially.
      Example:
        Attack with Zweihander using [Cat’s    “I will bring       Power 30/Crit
                                                              12
             Eyes], [Bear Muscle], MP6          you pain!”          Value 11 + 7
121
[Dragon Tail]
    A Fellow's actions cannot usually be strengthened through stacking. The
only way to do this is to use the [Dragon Tail] Technique and immediately use
the Tail for an attack. For Lildraken Fellows (only), can you enter the value
that enhances their Tail as per the Technique (i.e., Accuracy +1 or Extra
Damage +2).
Example:
 [Dragon Tail](+1 to hit), [Cat’s Eyes]       “Boom!           Power 10/Crit
                                                         13
      with [Tail Swing I], MP6                Boom!”           Value 12 + 6
   (Assuming that the character is a Lildraken and the effect of [Dragon Tail]
enhances their Tail by one level).
Example:
 Play [Early Bird], all areas (30m        “Morning, morning, good
                                                                         13    -
             Radius)                            morning♪”
                                                                                    122
           For example, to fill in the spellsong [Love Song](Effect Condition: ⮭6♡6),
      it is necessary to also fill in a spellsong that produces, ⮭ and ♡ with an “Effect
      Condition: None." This can be either a spellsong that generates both ⮭ and ♡
      or a spellsong that generates Extra Rhythm when the Success Value satisfies
      the Flourish Value (see p. 100). For this example, [Early Bird] with a Success
      Value of 13 or higher satisfies this condition.
      Example:
          Play [Love Song], all areas (50m               “If we can only
                                                                                16   -
                      Radius)                               meet…♪”
      Finales
          To enter a Finale, you will need to enter a separate Spellsong having “Effect
      Condition: None" or a Spellsong with an Effect Condition (see above) that can
      generate the Rhythm that the Finale consumes.
          Bardic Power must be entered in the "Effect" field to add power, damage,
      or recovery.
      Example:
         Attack with [Finale: Spring       “Get out of              Power 10/Crit
                                                            13
              Breeze], 2 (30m)               here!"                 Value 10 + 5
123
                      Note on Added Combat Feats
    As a rule, to enter a Combat Feat [… II] you will need to fill in a Combat
Feat [… I] of the same type in a separate field. For [Tail Swing], please refer to
the [Cleave] description in Core Rulebook I to enter it. [Nerve Strike], [Critical
Cast], etc., can also be written by following the conventional example of
describing active Combat Feats.
    In this section, we describe only those needing special annotations. In
addition, we add an explanation of [Stomp] (see CR I, p. 253) here.
[Flying Kick]
    Kick attacks should have an "x3" tag after them. After the Kick from the
[Flying Kick], the attacking Fellow makes another Kick as a Major Action and
another with [Chain Attack]. It is not possible to enter a Punch or a Throw as
an attack with [Flying Kick].
    The Flying Kick range must be written as "1(Xm)", and the "Xm" part should
be the PC's movement. In Simplified Combat, individual character movements
are not considered, and the range of movement by Normal Move is up to the
adjacent area, so the "1" part always remains the same.
    If this Action is chosen, the position (area, coordinates) where Fellow
ended their Action in the previous round is assumed to be the one from where
the Fellow can start a proper Normal Move. If this is not the case, all attacks
are forcibly cancelled.
    It cannot be combined with the active Combat Feat, which only affects one
attack.
Example:
  Equipped with a Hard Kicker, [Flying
                                                “Triple              Power
 Kick] & Major Action for another Kick
                                                 Leg        19    30/Crit Value
 & [Chain Attack] for another hit, Range
                                                Flash!"            11 + 12 x 3
                1(23m)
[Stomp]
     The [Stomp] master can enter the Success Value of their Kick attack and
the calculated damage (Power, Critical Threshold, and Extra Damage)
simultaneously as per the Throw attack.
     If there is no target for the Throw, or if the Success Value of the Throw
itself is insufficient to cause the Accuracy check to fail, then the effect of the
Kick (damage) will also not occur.
                                                                                     124
          As a rule, it cannot be combined with the active Combat Feat, which only
      affects one attack, but this is possible if the character can declare twice by
      learning [Ever-Changing I]. If the feat requires the special notation “spend next
      turn recovering,” then the character must declare "spend two next turns
      recovering.”
      Example:
         Throw ([Improved                                               Power 30/Crit
                                                             20
            Throw II])              “This attack is a...                Value 12 + 12
                                      no-brainer."                      Power 25/Crit
               [Stomp]                                       19
                                                                        Value 11 + 12
      Example:
       [Repeated Strike II], attacking with                             Power 35/Crit
                                                “Repay!"     17
               the Great Sword                                          Value 10 + 17
      [Confident Performer]
          It is recommended to add "(Can't)" in the Success Value field and "No Crit"
      for the damage in the "Effect" field.
      Example:
        Attack with [Confident Performer] at                    15         Power 10/No
                                                    “Hit!"
          [Finale: Spring Breeze], 2(50m)                     (Can’t)        Crit + 7
      [Double Cast]
         For each of the two spells to be cast, describe the Success Value and, if
      necessary, the Effect.
         You can choose "cancel the whole action" or "cancel only the additional
      magic cast" when cancelling this action. It is not possible to cancel just the main
      magic Action.

Example:
 [Double Cast] of [Energy Javelin]         “Take              Power 40/Crit

Resistance: Temporary
    The spell which has "Resistance: Temporary" will be effective on the target
for 10 seconds (1 round) when the resistance succeeds. Even if you use
[Metamagic/Time] to extend the duration, the duration in the case of successful
resistance is still 10 seconds (1 round).
Curse + Psychic
    Spell with this type has two types: curse type and the psychic type, and has
the following rules:
When applying resistance or effects: All effects and immunities corresponding
to curse or psychic types are effective. If a character has immunity to one of
the two types, the spell will not have any effect. All numerical effects that work
for these types (such as damage increase/decrease, bonus/penalty to resistance
                                                                                        128
      checks, etc.) are cumulative. However, if an effect that affects both curse type
      and psychic type simultaneously is not cumulative. For example, the effect "+2
      bonus to Willpower and Fortitude checks against curse type and psychic type"
      will only apply +2.
      To Remove: Only effects that can remove curses are valid.

Sum. Bring dead souls into the caster's body
         This spell pulls the soul of someone dead into the caster's body, allowing
      them to speak and interact with the living world. The caster can communicate
      his wishes to the souls but cannot interfere with their actions. No class or combat
      feats (either the caster or those learned by the dead person before death) can
      be used.
         Characters that can be pulled are limited to humanoids or barbarous. If the
 Eff. caster holds an item associated with the deceased, the caster can specify a
      specific soul to be summoned. Otherwise, the most recently deceased
      humanoid or barbarous character within a 100-meter radius around the caster
      will be summoned.
         This magic has not effect if the specified character has been reanimated or if
      their soul has already been reincarnated. The same is true if the caster doesn't
      specify a target and there are no dead people within 100m of the caster.

            receives any physical, fixed, or magical damage to their HP at any time while
            this spell is active, they may transfer that damage to the branded doll, regardless
            of the distance between the caster and the doll.

               The caster can decide whether or not to let the target take the damage when

      Sum. Creates a light ball and illuminates surroundings in a 30-meter radius.
               It produces a fist-sized ball of light. Due to the light it emits, all areas (radius
            of 30 meters) are treated as if they were under the sun.
               The ball of light floats around the caster and follows it automatically. It can
            be controlled to some extent only by the caster's will, without the need for
            speech or action (Major Action or Minor Action), but it never leaves the caster
            beyond 1 meter.
               The caster can use a Major Action to throw the light ball, which will explode
            at the target location, dealing “Power 20 + Magic Power” energy magic damage
            to the target. If the target is undead, the damage will be “Power 40 + Magic
            Power” instead. Even if multiple light balls are prepared, only one light ball can
            be thrown by one Major Action.
       Eff.    Throwing a light ball is handled in the same way as casting spells. The caster
            should make a new Spellcasting check to determine the success value and
            compares the success value with the target Willpower. Thrown light ball
            vanishes and loses its magical effect.

               In the natural environment (see CR I, p. 101), it makes the caster blend into

               If a caster is present in the natural environment, all Accuracy checks and
            Spellcasting checks performed with or including the caster as a target will incur
       Eff. a penalty of -1 to the success value. This effect occurs even for "Area: Line"
            effects. Conversely, if the caster is explicitly excluded from the target by [Magic

               Also, if the caster makes a Hide check in a natural environment, they gain a

 Eff.    This spell requires paying 5 MP from a mako stone. The consumption of this

      consumption of this spell. In any case, the mako stone will be lost.
         When using [Metamagic/Time] or [Metamagic/Accuracy], only the MP is
      multiplied, and the number of mako stones and MP required remains the same.

            completely blocks the line of sight but does not prevent the passage of creatures,
            objects, and spells, unique spells with Area: Shot and Area: Line. An area must
            be built vertically, directly from the ground, and cannot pass through a space
            already occupied by an object or creature.
               A character can attempt to pass through this wall. It should make a Willpower
            check. If it fails, it cannot pass through and ends its movement at the previous
            area (Simplified Combat) or at the last 1-meter coordinates (Standard Combat).
       Eff. The character then suffers a “Power 20 + Magic Power” fire magic damage.
               If the Willpower succeeds, the player can pass through the wall after receiving
            half damage.
               A character attempting to pass through this wall under the effect of being
            forced to move also needs to make a Willpower check. In this case, its success
            or failure only affects whether or not the damage is halved, and it will pass
            through this wall even if it fails the resistance check.

             there is an automatic failure on the Accuracy check.
      Effect     If the target is hit, the potion's effect is given to the target. In this case, it is
             considered "Resistance: Optional" (if the target does not wish to be hit, it will
             not be affected). Also, the master always gets a +1 bonus to Accuracy checks
             on any thrown attacks.
      Throwing II
      Prer. [Throwing I]/Adventurer Level 5 or higher            Use -

                 In addition to the effects of [Throwing I], all thrown weapon attacks that
      Effect have a "Range: 1 (10m)” (including the thrown weapon of the Potion Ball) will
             now have a "Range: 2 (20m)”.
      Super Tenacity
      Prer. Fighter or Grappler 7 or higher, [Tenacity]             Use -

      Sum. Move 10m or more with Normal Move and attack with Kick
                 The master may attack a target with a Kick only after performing a Normal
             Move and moving at least 1 area (Simplified Combat) or 10 meters (Standard
      Effect
             Combat). This attack does not activate [Chain Attack]. The master may then

       or higher
       The power of Throw is increased by +20. Anyone can throw characters with
Sum.
       up to 3 sections.
           When the master performs a Throw, the power of the Throw is increased
       by +20. Throw can be used against any character with up to 3 sections,
       regardless of movement method or the number of legs. When attacking a
       character with multiple sections, an Accuracy check is performed only once.
Effect The attacked target may choose any section to complete an Evasion check. If
       the Evasion check fails, the target will be thrown (if a melee attack is not
       possible in any section due to a [Attack Obstacle] or other reason, the target
       cannot be affected with Throw). All sections will be thrown, and at the same
       time, the attacker can deal damage to each section.
Harmony
Prer. Bard Level 5 or higher                        Use Bard class
Sum. Apply the effects of Pet and own Spellsong at the same time
             A Bard with the Combat Feat can start another Spellsong while their Pet is
       still performing a Spellsong, compounding its effect and causing both to occur
       simultaneously. In this case, the Pet's Spellsong is also treated as having the
       same effect range as its owner and the same Success Value as its owner's
       Performance check. If the Bard does not make a Performance check, or if the
Effect
       Performance check is an Automatic Failure, Pet's Spellsong will still continue,
       but with a Success Value of 0.
             If a Finale is used, Pet's Spellsong will instead copy the same Success Value
       of the Finale.
             Pet's Spellsong still does not generate any Rhythm.
Block

       Master counts themselves as twice the number of characters for blocking
Sum. movement or withdraw
            The master treats themself as twice as many characters (number of
       sections) in a situation where a movement blocking or a withdrawal from the
       skirmish occurs. This affects all of the following cases: when the master moves,
       when a friendly character passes through or leaves the skirmish, when they
Effect block the movement of a hostile character, and when a hostile character
       attempts to withdraw from the skirmish. In addition, a character initially placed
       in the frontline in Simplified Combat is treated as having twice the number of
       characters (number of sections) as itself, regardless they go first or second.
                                                                                             202

                   Master can use up to two mako stones simultaneously to cast a spell using
               their combined MP values. The number of MP consumed from either stone
      Effect can be allocated freely, and it is possible to use a combination of both stones
               and one's own MP.
      Marionette
      Prer. Adventurer Level 5 or higher                        Use     -
      Sum. Make independent golems, fairies, etc.
                 If you are controlling/using a golem, fairy, etc., you can make them act
             independently. In the next round, after using [Marionette], those characters
             can act before your next turn.
                 When the master gives "Obey Command" to a golem, undead, or fairy, its
             turn is not fixed immediately after the master's turn but can be any turn within
      Effect the allies' turn. The limitation of one "Obey Command" per turn for golem and
             undead and one for fairy remains unchanged.
                 For example, if a player orders a fairy to act before their turn and then
             summons another fairy, the newly summoned fairy cannot be given a
             command and act in the same round.
      Powerful Magic I

Infight II
Prer. [Infight I]/Grappler Level 9 or higher        Use Grappler class
Appl. Lasts 10 seconds (1 round)                   Risk Evasion check -2
Sum. Only specific target can be attacked, Accuracy check +2, Damage +4
             Same as [Infight I] (see CR I, p. 255), but it not only gains a +2 bonus to

Decoy Attack II

Sum. Accuracy check -2, damage +8, enemy Evasion check -2 when evaded
           Same as [Decoy Attack I] (see CR I, p. 255), but the damage on a hit is +8.

       evaded is -2, and it accumulates up to -8.
Rhythm Conversion
Prer. Bard Level 3 or higher                           Use     -
Appl. Instant                                          Risk    None
Sum. Change one of the generated Rhythms
           This particular move can be declared at any time during the turn.
           When declaring this feat, one Rhythm that has already accumulated "1" or
       higher is chosen, and its accumulation is reduced by -1. At the same time, it
       can also increase the accumulation of any other Rhythm by +1.
Effect     Whether or not Spellsong with effect generation conditions generates an
       effect depends on the timing of the Performance check. Even if the Rhythm is
       changed after the check and the condition is satisfied, the effect will not be
       generated. Conversely, if the effect is generated and converted with this
       technique and the condition is not met, the effect will not disappear.
                                                                                           204

                 The attack is declared to be made with a thrown weapon or bow and is
             valid for one attack of that category.
                 The attack declared with this feat will use the same two thrown weapons or
             ammunition for shooting at the same time. The weapon is treated as if the two
      Effect
             can be thrown together without needing to change weapons, except in the case
             of a thrown weapon.
                 Accuracy checks may be made twice, taking the better of the two rolls.
             Only one attack will hit the target.

      Sum. one time per round separately from other active combat feats
                  The effect of this combat feat is exactly the same as [Cover I] (see CR I, p.
             256).
                  This feat is not a declaration and doesn’t count toward several active
             combat feats per turn. In other words, other active combat feat declarations
      Effect can be made even if this is used. If a character can have multiple declarations,
             it can be declared separately from this feat that number of times.
                  The feat itself may only be declared once per round. The same is true for
             a character with multiple declarations.

      Sum. Physical damage of the target decreases by -8
                  Declared at the time of a melee attack, it is valid for that single attack. It
             cannot be declared when attacking multiple targets at the same time. If that

             made after checking the success value of the enemy's Accuracy check.
                  In this case, instead of an Evasion check, an Accuracy check is made with
             any weapon equipped by the player, and the success values are compared with
             each other. In this case, contrary to a normal Evasion check, the side
             attempting the [Counter] is the active side, and the side that attempted a melee
             attack first is the passive side.
                  If the active side is favored, the passive side's melee attack is canceled, and
      Effect
             at the same time, the damage and effects associated with the attack are
             processed as if the passive side had been hit by the weapon used by the active
             side.
                  If the passive side is favored, its melee attack will hit. Still, the roll of 2d for
             power table reference and damage determination will be considered "12" in
             determining the total damage. The second and subsequent rounds should be
             handled as normal if a critical hit occurs.
                  [Counter] may only be attempted once per round, regardless of its success
             or failure.

Fast Action
Gain Scout Level 7                                 Use          -
Sum. Master has one major action on their first round
          In the Initiative check, if the player's success value is greater than the
       maximum value of the enemy's success value (or greater than or equal to the
Effect Initiative monster data), the player can take one additional Major Action in the
       first round.
Shadow Sneak
Gain Scout Level 9                                   Use      -
       Can leave the melee without movement blocking and without the need to
Sum. Prepare to Withdraw.
           The master’s movement cannot be blocked. They may also leave the
Effect
       skirmish by moving at will without preparing to withdraw from the melee.
Indomitable
Gain Ranger Level 7                                 Use         -
Sum. Do not fall unconscious even if you fall below 0 HP
            If the master succeeds in making a Death Check, even if their HP is 0 or
Effect less, they will not be unconscious and can continue to perform actions; if they
       fail the Death Check, they die.
△Potion Master
Gain Ranger Level 9                            Use       -
Sum. The potion can be used during Combat Preparation and with Minor Action
           The master may use an item classified as a Potion during Combat
       Preparation or with Minor Action only when used on themself. This feat is
Effect
       limited to one potion during Combat Preparation or one Minor Action per
       round.
Weakness Exploit
Gain Sage Level 7                                  Use          -
Sum. Doubles the effectiveness of hitting weak points.
            If the master performs a Monster Knowledge check with the Sage class and
       obtains a success value greater than or equal to the monster's weakness, the
       bonus generated by the weak point and the increment of damage is doubled
       for the master. For example, if the weak point is "Accuracy +1", the bonus to
Effect
       the Accuracy will become +2, and if the weak point is "Fire damage +3 points",
       the damage will be increased by +6.
            This effect only applies to the master; other allied characters will only
       benefit from the normal effect of the weak point.
                                                                                          210
      Mana Save
      Gain Sage Level 9                                   Use      -
      Sum. All MP costs -1
                  When using MP for any reason, reduce the MP spent by -1. This cannot
             reduce an MP cost lower than 1 (at least 1 point is consumed).
      Effect      When the MP consumption is doubled by [Metamagic/**]", the reduction
             is calculated first and then doubled. [Mana Save] has no effects that damage
             MP or reduce MP instead of consuming MP as regular spells do.

Effect instead of Evasion to avoid the attack. If Willpower succeeds, they can halve
       the calculated damage (if they have [Mana Interference] racial ability, they will
       not suffer any damage). If a check fails, it will take the same damage as before.

         Improvements and Enhancements
             to Weapons and Armor
         PCs can enhance their weapons and armor with special modifications or
      improve them to suit their needs.
         In this section, we will describe the special enhancements for weapons and
      armor.
Custom-Forged Weapons
         GMs and PCs are free to name their custom-made weapons as they wish.
      Alternatively, the name may be prefixed or suffixed with "Custom-Forged" (e.g.
      “Custom-Forged Bastard Sword”).
241
                             Silvered Weapons
   Some weapons are silvered, and silvered weapons can deal damage,
ignoring the [◯Normal Weapon Immunity] unique skill of some monsters,
and there are monsters with silvered weapons as their weak points.
   Silvered weapons can be purchased by paying the following amount to
regular weapons.
B-Rank: +1,000G
A-Rank: +2,000G
S-Rank: +4,000G
Magic Weapon +1
B-Rank: +5,000G
A-Rank: +10,000G
S-Rank: +20,000G
    The character can apply this enhancement to a weapon they already have,
but it will require a month.
    However, items that are already Magic Weapons cannot be purchased with
this enhancement or enhanced if the character owns them.
    Weapons with this enhancement will have "+1" appended to the end of their
name (e.g., “Bastard Sword +1”).
                                                                                   242
                                      Fairy Weapon
      B-Rank: +1,500G
      A-Rank: +3,000G
      S-Rank: +6,000G
          Weapons with this enhancement will have the type added to the damage
      when the wielder says password with Minor Action. The type given can be
      earth, water/ice, fire, wind, or lightning and is determined at the time of
      purchase or when requesting the enhancement. This effect lasts until another
      password is cast, which is set to be released. Even if the wielder does not specify
      the type, it is still a Magic Weapon and can be used to damage a character with
      the [◯Normal Weapon Immunity] unique skill.
          This enhancement can be applied to the same weapon multiple times,
      increasing the number of types given by one. The password is different for each
      type, and if the character already has a type and uses a password that gives
      another type, it will be changed to the new type (i.e., only one type can be given
      at a time).
          This enhancement requires a one-month processing time for one
      enhancement.
          Weapons with this enhancement will have the word "Fairy (given type, if
      there is more than one)" added to the beginning of the name. For example,
      “Fairy (Fire, Water/Ice) Bastard Sword.”
Magic Armor +1
243
is only available for nonmetallic armor or metal armor (so shields cannot be
enhanced with this enhancement).
    Items already magical cannot be purchased with this enhancement or
enhanced if the character owns them.
B-Rank: +5,000G
A-Rank: +10,000G
S-Rank: +20,000G
    To have this enhancement applied to the armor character already has, they
will need to ask the Institute Of Magitechnology and wait for a month.
    Armor with this enhancement will have "+1" appended to the end of its
name (e.g., “Chainmail +1”).
Bulletproof Armor
B-Rank: +1,500G
A-Rank: +3,000G
S-Rank: +6,000G
     If the wearer of this enhanced armor is hit by a Shooting Attack with a Gun
weapon or with a Magic Arrow/Quarrel (see p. 218) as ammunition, the attack
damage will be reduced by the armor’s Defense. The damage reduction is
limited to the armor's Defense and does not include any bonus from the
combat feat [Armor Proficiency X/**] or any temporary increase in Defense.
     The armor can be used up to 6 times to reduce damage. The owner of the
armor can also ask the Institute Of Magitechnology to repair the armor that
has been used. In this case, the owner must pay 250(B rank)/500(A
rank)/1,000(S rank)G for the number of times they want to recover the armor.
It takes a day to complete the repair for each use. It takes one week for a new
enhancement.
     Armor with this enhancement will have "Bulletproofed" prefixed to the
name (e.g., “Bulletproofed Chainmail”).
                                                                                   244
                   Abyss Enhancement
          Weapons, shields, and armor can be enhanced in various ways to improve
      their performance. The Abyss Enhancement performed by the Magician's
      Guild is one such enhancement, in which the power of the Abyss Shards is
      applied to the armor to make it stronger. While considered cheap and useful,
      Abyss Shards have an Abyss Curse that can give unwanted effects, and their
      overuse is considered dangerous.
          First, select a piece of equipment (weapon or armor) that you own or plan
      to purchase.
          There is no limit to the number of weapons you can choose from. You can
      further enhance your Magic Weapon +1, Fairy Weapon, and Bulletproof
      armaments with Abyss Enhancement.
          After applying Abyss Enhanced Weapon is treated as Magic Weapon, and
      the Abyss Enhanced Armor is treated as Magic Armor.
245
 ③Consume the Necessary Gamel and Abyss Shards to Enhance
   Once you have decided what to enhance, paid the cost of the enhancement,
Abyss Shards needed and determined the Abyss Curse, the Abyss
Enhancement is complete.
   Abyss Enhancement takes one-day in-game time to be completed.
                                                                                 246
                         Abyss Enhancement of Weapons
      Accuracy +1
         The Accuracy check of the weapon is increased by +1.
      Extra Damage +1
         Extra Damage of the weapon is increased by +1.
      Minimal Strength -2
         Lowers the weapon's minimal strength by -2 points. This enhancement
      does not reduce the minimal strength to less than 1 (minimum 1).
      Critical Threshold -1
          Lowers the Critical Threshold of the weapon by -1 point. This effect does
      not lower the Critical Threshold below 8 (minimum 8).
247
Spell Damage +1
   Suppose the weapon can be used as a magical implement. In that case,
when the implement is used to cast Truespeech Magic or Spiritualism Magic
and deals physical or magical damage, its damage is increased by +1 point.
   The increase in damage caused by this effect is only effective for spells with
"Duration: Instant."
Spell Restoration +1
    If you cast a spell to recover HP while holding or equipping that weapon,
the amount of HP recovered is increased by +1 point. This enhancement
works for all magic systems.
    The increase in restoration caused by this effect is only effective for spells
with "Duration: Instant."
Defense +1
   Armor’s Defense increased by +1.
Minimal Strength -2
   Lowers the armor’s minimal strength by -2 points. This enhancement does
not reduce the minimal strength to less than 1 (minimum 1).
Magic Damage -1
   If the wearer of this armor is subject to magic damage, it is reduced by -1
point.
                                                                                     248
      Physical Damage and Magic Damage from a Specific Type are Reduced by -2
         If the wearer suffers physical or magical damage of a specified type, it is
      reduced by -2 points. The type should be selected from the "Type
      Determination Table" (see p. 256).
      Defense +1
         Shield’s Defense increased by +1. This is also effective for shields with a
      Defense of 0.
      Evasion +1
         When equipped with a shield, the wielder gains a +1 bonus to Evasion
      checks.
      Minimal Strength -2
         Lowers the shield’s minimal strength by -2 points. This enhancement does
      not reduce the minimal strength to less than 1 (minimum 1).
      Magic Damage -1
         If the shield is equipped and the wilder is subjected to magic damage, it is
      reduced by -1.
249
Physical Damage and Magic Damage from a Specific Type are Reduced by -2
   If the wielder suffers physical damage or magical damage of a specified
type, it is reduced by -2 points. The type should be selected from the "Type
Determination Table" (see p. 256).
                                                                               250
                       Paying with Abyss Shards
          Abyss Shards are required for Abyss Enhancement.
          The first time you perform an Abyss Enhancement on an armament, you
      will need 3 Abyss Shards. If you have already done an Abyss Enhancement
      and are doing an Abyss Enhancement for the second time, you will need 6
      Abyss Shards.
          Both are paid simultaneously as the enhancement fee when Abyss
      Enhancement is performed. Used Abyss Shards will be lost.
                                  Abyss Curse
          An Abyss Curse is an effect given to an Abyss Enhancement armament in
      exchange for its strength. The effect may appear when the armament is used,
      or it may be an effect that is received even if it is carried around.
          Whenever an Abyss Enhancement is made, the Abyss Curse Table should
      determine the Abyss Curse corresponding to that enhancement.
          The Abyss Curse must be selected at random from the Abyss Curse Table.
      Once determined, the contents of the Abyss Curse cannot be changed except
      by "Redetermine Abyss Curse" (see p. 257).
          If the PC has the same Abyss Curse on the armament that they already
      have, they must reroll to determine the new result.
          Roll 1d twice to determine the Abyss Curse, and the corresponding entry
      in the Abyss Curse Table should be used.
251
Abyss Curse Name
    This is the name of the effect of the Abyss Curse. Abyss armament will gain
this name as an addition. For example, "Long Sword of Self-Harm" or "Plate
Mail of Lamentation."
    Since two types of Abyss Curse can be given to an armor that has undergone
Abyss Enhancement twice, the names should be written together so they can
be connected. The name would be something like "Buckler of Kindness and

    It notes when the Abyss Curse takes effect.
    If it says "When carried," it is always in effect by carrying it around, even if
you do not have that armament equipped.
    If it says "When equipped," the armament must be actually equipped, and
the situation described in the summary must occur for it to have any effect or
influence. If you are holding it or carrying it, you will not be affected at all.

                              Redetermine Abyss Curse
         If the Abyss Enhancement is performed and the Abyss Curse is not what
      you want, you can re-determine it. It is also possible to purchase a weapon that
      has already undergone an Abyss Enhancement and redetermine the Abyss
      Curse.
         If you want to redetermine the Abyss Curse, you will need to spend 3 Abyss
      Shards to redetermine the Abyss Curse for one Abyss Enhanced Armament.
      The Abyss Curse Table is used to redetermine the contents of the Abyss Curse.
         In the case of an Abyss Enhanced Armament with two types of Abyss
      Enhancement, one of the two Abyss Curses can be redetermined, but the
      number of Abyss Shards required will be 6 (or 12 to redetermine two at the
      same time).
         As long as the necessary number of Abyss Shards are available, Abyss
      Curse can be redetermined anytime, but this requires one day of work.
257
      Abyss Enhanced Armament is Already in Circulation
       Abyss Enhanced Armaments may be sold on the market with the
enhancements, and Abyss Curse determined. The advantage to the PC is that
they can acquire the Abyss Enhanced Armament without spending Abyss
Shards.
    However, suppose the opportunity to obtain Abyss Enhanced Armaments
is unlimited. In that case, the randomness of the contents of the Abyss Curse
will lose its meaning and will no longer function as a detrimental effect. It would
be better to treat already enhanced Abyss Enhanced Armaments as one-time
bargains and limit the opportunities to find them, such as once per session.

     Strasford's doctrine revolves around "making a way between the unknown
and the known," and he urges ingenuity in doing so. For Strasford's followers,
"railroading" is used allegorically as a concept to connect people to people,
people to places, people to things... as well as real railroad tracks.
     His name has been heard outside the Dorden region in recent years as the
railroad network has been redeveloped. However, few people outside the
Kingslay area understand the name's true meaning, and he tends to be
understood simply as a God symbolizing the expansion of the railroad
network.
                        Residents of Raxia
    Carved into existence by the Swords of Genesis, Raxia is home to many
different races. The following section details the sentient races, those who have
intelligence, culture, and power.
Humans (Humanoids)
    The most common race in Raxia, it is said that all Humanoids were
originally Human.
    Humans are of average ability, but they exhibit some variation in
appearance depending on their region. As a general trend, people in the
northern part of the Alframe Continent tend to be fair-skinned, tall, blond-
haired and have green or blue eyes. In the south, people with darker skin, hair,
eye pigmentation, and relatively slighter stature are more common.
    Often, Human communities are large, defensive settlements with fortified
walls. They actively worship Tidan, the God of the Sun, followed in popularity
by the Divine Ancestor Lyphos, Sien, the Goddess of the Moon, and Shield
Against the Abyss Eve.
Elves (Humanoids)
    A race born of the Goddess Asteria during the age of mythology, Elves lack
the numbers of Humans but are still one of the more common races in Raxia.
They are more likely to be seen in the eastern part of the continent than in the
west.
                                                                                    262
          Compared to Humans, Elves are tall and willowy, averaging about 180 cm
      for males and 170 cm for females. Typical hair colors range from blonde to
      silver to brown, while only those Elves who live near the seashore have any
      color to their ordinarily pale skin.
          The Elves live by rivers or lakes, where trees are abundant, and they build
      elegant wooden houses. Because they prefer to live in harmony with nature,
      their settlements are sometimes entirely integrated into the forest landscape.
          Elves dislike seawater very much, but a few build settlements by the sea.
      Elves living by the sea, especially in the southern part of the country, tend to
      have brownish skin and a cheerful disposition. Because they live by the water,
      they are hostile to the aquatic Barbarous. In particular, Tannoz (see p. 344)
      and Elves are bitter enemies, and if they are in the same area, combat is
      inevitable.
          The Elves of the Alframe continent are and were very reclusive, especially
      so during the Magitech Civilization Period, and they have all but ceased to
      communicate with Humans. Therefore, they have little interest in magitech,
      and their knowledge of the Magitech Civilization is limited. However, they are
      eager to learn, have a long life expectancy, and are generally well-informed.
      They also have a special aptitude for the arts, such as music, painting, and
      craftsmanship, and have a talent for wizardry.
          Elves have a long lifespan, and perhaps because of this, they tend to be laid-
      back and loose with time, but they are also very curious and often travel at
      whim. Elves are intelligent and physically capable, making them excellent
      hunters, scouts, warriors, and archers. They have all the skills to survive
      dangerous journeys.
          Mostly they worship the fairy goddess Asteria, but a few follow the God of
      the Sun, Tidan, the God of Wisdom, Kilhia, and the God of Trees, Dalion.
Dwarves (Humanoids)
          It is believed that the Dwarven race was given Sword's Grace by the Blazing
      Emperor Grendal and that they arose during the age of mythology.
          They are slightly shorter than Humans, averaging 150 cm for males and
      140 cm for females. Their skin tends to be shades of russet or dark brown, and
      their hair is red, silver, or sometimes green or pink. Although they are short,
      they are very muscular for their frame, giving them incredible toughness.
          Dwarves enjoy forging anything and everything, prefer poverty and choose
      harsh environments to build their settlements. They also like to forge weapons
263
and other metal items, so their settlements are often found in mountainous
areas having rich mineral deposits.
    Dwarven settlements consist of underground cities made of stone or are
found in abandoned mines, but few people except artisans live in them.
Dwarven warriors are welcomed everywhere on the Wall of the Abyss, and
female warriors guard in the name Goddess of Love and Vengeance, Miritsa.
    For this reason, Dwarves are commonly seen in Human neighborhoods,
often working as smiths. Dwarven cuisine is also popular among Humans and
is famous for its boldness, using high-fired ovens (they are rivals with the
Kobold chefs (see CR I, p. 395), who use elaborate sauces). They are also
known as heavy drinkers and become cheerful when drunk.
    Dwarves are generally loyal, punctual, and not greedy. On the other hand,
they are also known for their stubbornness and unbending opinions and are
sometimes considered challenging to deal with. In fact, given their penchant
for the timeliness, Dwarves often have issues when dealing with the lazy nature
of Elves.
    Dwarves are not only warriors but also artificers and priests. However, they
are not interested in other kinds of magic.
    They mainly follow the Blazing Emperor Grendal, but there are also many
devotees of Shield Against the Abyss, Eve, and, among the women, of Miritsa.
Tabbits (Humanoids)
     Tabbits are a mysterious race whose origins are completely unknown. They
themselves often claim to be reincarnated forms of Gods who died in battle
and were cursed, but the truth is unknown. They are not numerous, but many
are found traveling around Human cities, especially in academic cities.
     Their height is about 1 meter to the top of the head. They are about 120cm
tall, including their ears. Their arms and legs are short, and they have a
somewhat comical walk. Their entire body is covered with fluffy fur, which
varies in color from white to brown or black. They are omnivores, eating
anything but preferring vegetables to meat.
     Tabbits tend to be wanderers and do not have their own settlements. They
sometimes stay in a city with a university or a Magician's Guild for a long time,
but most leave for the next city when they finish their research.
     When children are old enough to make their own decisions (5 to 6 years
old), they are either thrown out of the house or treated as parental assistants.
They have high intellect and deep knowledge but are still somewhat childish
their whole life and are self-centered, even though many are weak-willed.
                                                                                    264
          Tabbits have a great talent for magic, but they cannot hear the voice of the
      Gods and cannot use Divine Magic. On this basis, they believe they are
      "descendants of cursed Gods" and that their magic is divine (although many
      among the Tabbits themselves dispute this).
          They understand they are clumsy, weak, and slow, and they travel with
      Humans and Dwarves because of that. Although they are cooperative, they
      tend to become distracted when confronted with things that interest them.
          Many have an overwhelming curiosity regarding the Abyss and can be seen
      traveling the Alframe continent, especially in the northern countries, in search
      of Shallow Abysses.
Runefolk (Humanoids)
265
                          Nightmares (Humanoids)
Lykans (Humanoids)
    Lykans are indigenous to the continent of Alframe. They have large, hairy
ears and magnificent tails. They can transform their heads into the shape of
carnivorous animals and, in addition, possess superhuman strength.
    The shape of their transformed animal head varies from person to person,
and while most are large, some are feline, like tigers and lions. This appearance
is usually similar among tribes and siblings, but nowadays, because of the
mixing of bloodlines, it is possible for siblings to all have different head shapes.
                                                                                       266
          Males tend to be large in stature (average about 180 cm tall), while females
      tend to be smaller (averaging about 160 cm). In beast form, their head becomes
      beast-like, but their body from the neck down does not change significantly.
      Depending on the individual, a part of or the whole body may become hairy.
          In the age of mythology, they coexisted with humans and lived peacefully.
      However, after the War of the Gods, during the Magic Civilization Period, they
      were treated like slaves because of their lack of magical aptitude. During the
      early Magitech Civilization Period, they experienced a tragic history of being
      driven out of their homes by settlers from other continents. In confusion
      following the Diabolic Triumph, they were mistaken for Barbarous and
      persecuted.
          However, most Lykans are agnostic about the past and do not seem to
      harbor deep resentments. Many of them are cheerful by nature, positive, and
      proactive. Traditionally, clans established their own villages, actively interacting
      with other races. They are often seen in Humanoid towns. However, they are
      sometimes feared by other races because Lykant sounds like a mere roar to
      them.
          They have been active in the fight against the Barbarous since ancient times,
      especially hating lycanthropes, which they are commonly mistaken for. They
      are also wary of the Abyss as something unnatural and aid in the battle against
      it.
          They are not good at magic, but some worship Dalion, the God of Trees,
      and learn Fairy Magic. A legend says that they invented Techniques and they
      are known as excellent warriors.
Lildrakens (Humanoids)
267
cool colors such as blues and greens, with purples and reds being much rarer.
Some even have scales fine enough to look akin to hair or a mane.
    Lildraken have been building their nations and interacting with other races
since the days of the Magic Civilization. Led by their brightest and wisest kings,
they travel around the world, with trading one of their highest priorities.
    Contrary to their harsh exterior, Lildrakens are happy, cheerful folk,
welcoming of most other races and cultures. Many of them have become
warriors, taking advantage of their superior physiques, and it is common to see
them serving as guards for merchants. Many Lildraken cities and towns have
buildings developed and constructed by humans and dwarves and decorated
with textiles from the Elves and others.
    Lildrakens are oviparous, laying one egg at a time and several eggs during
their lifetime. Parent-child relationships are tenuous, and eggs are often raised
in specialized incubation facilities. Children born at the same time are raised
as siblings, and those born in the same village or town are considered to be of
the same family.
    They are carnivores and can digest raw meat but eat anything without
preference. Although they like to drink, they often fall asleep when they
indulge too much.
    They revere the Divine Ancestor Lyphos, who honors interaction, and
Guiding Star Harula, who suggests the journey's destination. Some of them
follow Divine Hand Mirtabar to gain insight, and some of them become
paladins of the Shield Against the Abyss Eve.
Grassrunners (Humanoids)
    A race that has recently started to be seen around Raxia, the origins of the
Grassrunners is incredibly mysterious, with no records of any of them recorded
prior to the early Ancient Magic Civilization period. Even today, they are few,
but they can be found here and there because of their wanderlust.
    A short-statured race, Grassrunners only stand around 1 m tall and are
often confused with Human children. But you can distinguish them by their
slightly pointed ears. Most of them have black or brown hair and dark skin, but
some have pale hair and skin.
    Constantly wandering, Grassrunners do not have any settlements of their
own and will often roam due to strong instincts to stay on the move, only
stopping for a significant period to bear and raise children. Perhaps because of
this, they have a somewhat lax sense of ethics regarding possessions and are
known for taking things they see without permission.
                                                                                     268
          By nature, they are optimistic and rarely worry or regret their past. Since
      they do not have the custom of keeping records, they do not know much about
      their history (nor do they seem interested in it).
          A peculiar quirk of Grassrunners is their difficulty in collecting and using
      mana. There are very few spellcasters among the Grassrunners, though this
      quirk lends them significant resilience against magical effects.
          They are often seen with daemons in Labyrinths, ancient ruins, and
      Shallow Abysses. Some scholars are looking into these coincidences to see if
      there is any causal relationship between the two, but nothing has been
      confirmed.
          They become excellent Scouts and Rangers using their dexterity and
      quickness, but very few learn magic.
Meria (Humanoids)
269
    While there is no difference in ability or appearance, there is a large gap in
their lifespan, with the short-lived species emerging from the ground as an
infant about a week after the seed is buried in the soil and becoming an adult
within six months or so. The short-lived species are beautiful throughout their
lives, with a lifespan of about 10 years, and begin to wilt rapidly and die a few
days before the end of their lives.
    Conversely, the long-lived species appear as infants about a year after the
seed is buried and take 20 years to reach adulthood; after the age of 200 years,
their skin becomes hard like that of a tree, and they gradually develop deep
wrinkles like an ancient tree; at about 300 years, they reach the end of their
soul life, and their remaining body becomes a tree.
    Meria have red blood, skeletons, and internal organs. However, perhaps
because of their plant origin, their blood is viscous, and when they die, their
bones return to the soil as quickly as their flesh and blood (no bones were
found when a long-lived Meria, which had become a very small tree, was
dismembered). The structure of their internal organs is simple; because of this,
they are highly resilient to injuries and are thought to be resistant to diseases.
    Both short-lived and long-lived Meria are poor parents and tend to leave
their children alone. However, they have a sense of kinship, and if a young
Meria is in trouble, they will do as much as helping and feeding them.
    It is not possible for short-lived and long-lived species to interbreed, nor is
it possible for them to mate with other races. However, they often show
affection and love to other races.
    Perhaps due to their longevity, the short-lived species are more cheerful,
active, and full of passion, while the long-lived species are more thoughtful,
expressionless, and calm.
    All Meria have souls, and they can become Undead. Some of them become
priests of Dalion, the God of Trees, or Asteria, the Fairy Goddess, and have a
strong aversion to the Undead. They are good friends with fairies and have the
potential to become excellent fairy tamers.
    Preferring to live in nature, Meria often dwell alone or with a few others in
a simple house in the woods. However, due to the history of wars since the
time of the Ancient Magic Civilization, there also exist Meria states, complete
with kings and nobles. Where they govern and defend themselves.
    Meria are also an intellectually curious race, traveling in search of a mate
and sometimes appearing in Humanoid cities to broaden their horizons. Many
of them have a caring nature and are known for their devotion to those whom
they recognize as their friends. Therefore, they are highly regarded as
adventurers.
                                                                                      270
                                   Youma (Barbarous)
          This is a collective term for Barbarous whose main language is Youma, and
      includes Kobolds, Goblins, and Bolgs.
          They are the most numerous and common of the Barbarous. They are
      generally of low intellect, belligerent and brutal, but many flee as soon as they
      are outnumbered.
          Left to their own devices, Youma are often form unruly mobs,
      undisciplined and rowdy, but pose little threat to strong adventurers. However,
      their sheer numbers become a problem when they are controlled by a strong
      leader. Because they tend to follow the strong, they often work for Drakes,
      Diablos, or Basilisks.
          While they are fairly low in power, some unique individuals occasionally
      rise to prominence as dangerous leaders. This is especially true of the Bolgs,
      and such can threaten even the most seasoned adventurers. Although Youma
      have low intellect and are considered stupid, they can also be cunning and
      shrewd and should never be underestimated.
          Most Youma are short-lived and are treated as adults within five years of
      birth; those who live longer than 30 years are rare ‒ most die in battle at a much
      younger age.
Trolls (Barbarous)
           One of the most physically striking races among the Barbarous, the Trolls
      are incredibly powerful and skilled fighters, always eager to get into a fight.
      However, even they are not cruel and dislike wonton slaughter for the sake of
      it.
           Trolls abide by the Barbarous' basic social strictures in that the strong rule
      over the weak. Because they are incredibly strong, they don't often feel the
      desire to go out and flaunt it among the weaker races. Instead, a Troll is far
      more likely to be active and engage in combat should they find an opponent
      whom they feel is strong enough to test their mettle. In fact, a troll would rather
      die in combat against a powerful foe than grow old while lording it over weaker
      races.
           Most trolls are enthusiastic followers of Dalkhrem and are always looking
      for the next strongest opponent to test themselves against. They have an ancient
      alliance with the various drakes of the Barbarous, and if summoned, a troll will
      go to their aid.
271
   Unless cut down in combat before its prime, a troll will hit its physical peak
around 200 years old. They have been known to live for around 300 years.
Drakes (Barbarous)
                                                                                    272
                                  Diablos (Barbarous)
Basilisks (Barbarous)
        Along with Drakes and Diablos, Basilisks are one of the most powerful
      Upper Barbarous species. Hidden in their eyes is the power of petrification,
273
while their blood is poisonous to most living creatures. Their demeanor is
brutal, warlike, and cunning.
    Unlike Drakes, Basilisks have little ambition to rule, though they do take
delight in invasions, slaughters, and looting. They rarely take part in such
matters themselves, though, often directing their underlings to do so in their
name.
    Seeing themselves as "aristocrats of the Barbarous," Basilisks will collect
treasure, often sculptures and other works of art, and often have weaker
Barbarous to do their bidding. However, they also have a predilection for
beautiful Humanoids, whom they petrify and add to their collection of statues
in their houses.
    While nearly equal in power, Basilisks and Drakes often disagree. Basilisks
see Drakes as threats to their seat of power and the control of their armies,
whilst Drakes view Basilisks as foolish and sloppy, not willing to put any effort
into rulership. These differences are enough to make a Drake-Basilisk alliance
incredibly rare, though if such an alliance did form, it would be one of the
greatest threats to arise in recent memory. On the other hand, Basilisks
consider Diablos warlike idiots that, for some reason, are deemed to be
UpperBarbarous.
    As with the Drakes, Basilisks can transform into a more monstrous form.
However, Basilisks become less intelligent and almost feral when altered,
unlike Drakes, who retain their intelligence. This has led to a theory that
Basilisks were, in fact, Mythical Beasts that somehow gained the ability to
shapeshift into a form fit for the Barbarous.
    Basilisks are considered a long-lived species, with a lifespan of over 500
years.
Nosferatu (Barbarous)
About Fairies
          It is said that fairies are the embodiment of mana merged with natural
      phenomena such as wind and water. Therefore, they can be encountered
      everywhere (mainly in nature).
          The appearance of fairies varies, but most are small humanoid creatures
      that fly by flapping the glowing wings on their backs (there are many
      exceptions). Most of them have simple powers such as fire or water Fairy
      Magic. They like precious stones, and fairy tamers take advantage of this and
      use gems as a gateway to summon them.
          They are intelligent and speak their own language. However, their memory
      is very poor, and their vocabulary is limited, so they can only engage in simple
      conversations. Especially problematic is the fact that they have no concept of
      time, and "now," "a while ago," "a long time ago," and "a long time ago" are usually
      the same for them, making them useless for information gathering. They are
      also extremely forgetful; even if they set out to do what you ask of them, they
      may forget what they need to do a few seconds later.
          Runefolk cannot see fairies, perhaps because they are artificially created life
      forms. Also, since fairies are averse to soulscars, they do not like to approach
      Nightmares (although this does not penalize their use of Fairy Magic).
275
                             About Half-Breeds
    Only Humans can have children of different races (most commonly, Elves
and Dwarves). Some scholars consider this to be evidence of the derivation of
most races, such as Elves and Dwarves, being from Human stock.
    A new-born child will have the same appearance and abilities as one of their
parents (i.e. if a Human and an Elf have children, they will be born Human or
Elf). Nightmares can arise from time to time as well but will still follow the same
rules (i.e., if the Elf in the previous example was an Elf-born Nightmare, the
child will still only be either Human or Elf, with normal chances for
Nightmares). The only exception is Lildraken-born Nightmares, as they cannot
have children with other races. There is currently no record of a child being
born of a Human and a Grassrunner or a Human and a Tabbit.
    Very rarely, two humans can give birth to an Elf or Dwarf, though this can
only happen if both parents have mixed blood sometime in the past. Again,
Nightmares can occur as per the usual chances.
    It should be noted that, though very rare, Humans or Nightmares can have
children with Barbarous races. Minotaurs, among others, are said to be the
result of such crossbreeding, though nothing has been confirmed.
                                                                                      276
                Summary of the Alframe Continent
          Alframe, known as "the Land of Curses and Blessings," is a continent of
      wonders where monsters and miracles coexist.
          Above all, the biggest threat to Alframe is the Abyss, a massive hole in the
      other world in the northern part of the continent. Although sealed and
      protected by the Wall of the Abyss, Shallow Abysses still appear in various
      parts of the land, threatening people's lives.
          However, as the name "Land of Blessings" hints, the above does not mean
      that there are only bad things there.
          The Alframe continent is known for its abundance of forests and water.
      Although the Magitech Civilization period resulted in considerable
      deforestation, the last 300 years since the Diabolic Triumph has seen a
      significant regeneration of the woodlands (ruined cities swallowed by the forests
      are a common sight). The regions in the east are particularly lush and green.
          There are abundant underground resources, and the number of mako
      stones and quantity of manatite ore mined is awe-inspiring. The manatite veins
      are large in scale. The sight of floating rocks and islands caused by the great
      earthquake that struck during the Diabolic Triumph can only be experienced
      on the Alframe continent.
          The western side of the continent is rich in mako (mako stone) deposits,
      and magitech and railroads were highly developed there. Conversely, on the
      continent’s eastern side, many people and races have chosen to live in harmony
      with nature and fairies and have not embraced magitech.
          At the same time, the Barbarous are numerous and active. Abandoned
      magitechs are frequently seen running amok, making it a continent where
      adventurers are always needed and in action.
277
           "The Land of No Return" Keldion
    Keldion is a continent that exists to the southeast of the Alframe continent.
    The Chaos Sea separates it from Alframe, and due to its strange ocean
currents, it is believed that once you are swept away to Keldion, there is no
return.
    Before the Diabolic Triumph, the region was connected to the continent
of Alframe, and various nations existed there. Then communications were lost,
and it is unclear what the current situation is. It is rumored that there is a
teleporter or airship route back to Alframe from Keldion, but no one has
confirmed this.
    The Keldion continent is intended as a place for each GM or playgroup to
create their own settings, and there are no plans to add more details other than
those listed above. Feel free to draw and add to the areas outside the map's
borders.
    Of course, TRPG worlds can be modified as desired by the GM and
players, but if you are concerned about deviations or discrepancies from the

                                  Burlight Region
           Here you can find some additional information about the Burlight region,
      initially described on page 343 of Core Rulebook I.
                                                                                       280
      Farveld Plains, “The Yellow Rug”
          Many travelers moving eastward from southern Burlight, will pass through
      the Farveld Plains, a yellow plain where the pamana (a rapeseed flower) blooms
      year-round.
          This vast plain is home to various monsters, from insects to plants, animals,
      mythical beasts, and fairies. The most conspicuous species is the Basher Bird,
      a black ostrich-like avian. Basher Birds are migratory, and flocks of several
      hundred of them move briskly from south to north in late Spring and from
      north to south in late Fall. The sight of the rapeseed flowers soaring high into
      the sky, as the massed birds sweep by, is held to be a beautiful, though
      dangerous, sight to behold.
      Kewpie Marsh
          Viewed from above, this marshland is dotted with small pools and marshes
      in a beehive-like pattern.
          Each pool is isolated, creating a slightly different ecosystem with a wide
      variety of reptiles, amphibians, and fish: freshwater fish near the mountains,
      saltwater fish near the coast; and even aquatic Barbarous living in their own
      habitats.
          In addition, some pools and marshes with similar ecosystems seem to be
      connected through underground streams, providing a vast playground for
      aquatic organisms.
          The march was once called "Dragon's Footprints" because it is speculated
      that the terrain was initially created by a gigantic dragon that walked on it.
281
     Some of the more committed believers in the legend live in holes in the
cliff, where they spend their days. The way the inhabitants appear to fly over
each other, skilfully using wire hooks and gliders, is a scene unique to this area.
Mirage Republic
    This land has a population of 30,000. Although it is still young, being
founded only a dozen years ago, it is an emerging nation growing in strength at
a remarkable rate.
    The political system is a republic, with 13 members elected from 13
autonomous city-states. In effect, however, they are led by a Chancellor who is
the head of the republic. The current Chancellor is Leonard Haiza
(Human/Male/Age unknown).
    Auroras are frequently observed in the sky of this country. Auroras are a
precursor to Shallow Abysses, which means that the Mirage Republic is
constantly in a state of terror. The people, however, are not so pessimistic.
They believe Chancellor Leonard to be “King of the Sheaths.”
    “King of the Sheaths” means "the King who holds all the Swords" or "the
King who Rules Raxia as a Whole.” It is said that he is called this because he
possesses a mighty magic sword…
                                                                                      282
283
                           Dorden Region
    The region is in the northwest of the Alframe continent.
    Dorden’s climate is divided into continental, mountainous, and maritime
areas, and is generally warm, with some differences between the north-western
and south-eastern parts.
    The climate is temperate throughout the year, rarely too cold or too hot,
and abundant in sunshine and precipitation. The northern and western areas
are cooler and wetter, while the southern and eastern areas are hotter and drier.
The central plains are located between two climatic zones and are known for
their mild and pleasant weather throughout the year. Because of these
characteristics, agriculture and cattle raising are flourishing in the central and
south-eastern areas.
    Dorden is characterized by a plethora of small hills in the central and south-
eastern parts of the country, with deep forests and steepening peaks occurring
as one moves northward. This area receives more snowfall than other parts of
the region, and during the Magitech Civilization Period, it was celebrated as a
winter recreation area. Unfortunately, many of the mountains are now
inhabited by the Barbarous and are dangerous. However, there are still a few
Humanoid settlements, including Lykant villages.
    The most distinctive feature of the region is the presence of a railroad
network that connects Dorden to other countries in and beyond the region.
This is thanks to the railroad reconstruction and expansion project of the
Kingslay Republic of Iron and Steel, the largest state in the area. This network
is being used to promote trade both within and outside the region.
285
Queen State of Arshonia, “Of the Fierce Woman”
    The country is located on the island of Arshonia in the Sikh Sea and is
connected to the Kingslay Republic of Iron and Steel by the Grantin Great
Railroad Bridge. It is a country with a long history, where women have
traditionally held strong authority, politics is considered women's work, and
men are mainly responsible for manual labor.
    The "Order of the Red Fang Women," composed entirely of women, is
well known.
    The state frequently interacts with Kingslay and has a good relationship with
them, but internally, questions have been raised about the fact that the head of
Kingslay, the supreme chairman, is male.
                                                                                       286
      Orpheus Lake Country, "Pearl of the Lake”
          This is a fortified city built on Orpheus Island in the center of Great Luana
      Lake, a vast expanse of water located in the southern part of the region. With
      its beautiful marble towers that look like white porcelain and the lake's
      sparkling waters, it is said to be the most beautiful place in Dorden.
          It is highly popular as a summer resort for the rich, with a strong focus on
      tourism by rail.

        Famous People of the Western Alframe Continent
           Here are some notable NPCs throughout the Alframe continent's western
      region. Bring these NPCs to life to enhance your scenario and help your
      players get a feel for the world.
           These NPCs may appear as clients or be treated as leaders, masterminds,
      or leaders of rival organizations. GMs are free to make use of them as they see
      fit.
289
Iris Harves, "Bridging Princess” (Human/Female/14 years old)
''I think it would be a good job for you, though,
wouldn't it?"
     She is the daughter of Velvet, the concubine
of the previous king, and the half-sister of
Weiss.
     Although she has a modest position within
the court, she is not discouraged and exudes a
somewhat stoic and dignified demeanor.
     She has been Weiss' go-to person for most
things since before he became king, and she is
still working under the radar as his collaborator.
She is rumored to occasionally contact
promising adventurers for missions unknown.
                                                                                  290
      Donon IV, “Donon Cannon” (Dwarf/Male/120 years old)
      “The power that is never wielded is the most
      powerful.”
          Donon is the emperor of the Rajaaha
      Empire in the western part of the region.
          He has silver hair and eyes, and his dull gray
      skin gives him a metallic appearance. He is also
      known as the "Donon Cannon" because of his
      aggressive style of diplomacy, which includes
      flashing weapons while negotiating.
          He is famous for his meritocracy,
      symbolized by the "Sand Eagles," a corps directly
      under his command. Donon sought out and
      trained many of the soulscarred who had been
      persecuted in the past, those who lost their relatives in wars, and others who
      bore emotional scars. Many of them had lost a part of their body, such as an
      eye or an arm, before joining the group. Their loyalty to the King and his
      painstaking efforts have made them feared experts in their respective fighting
      skills.

                  Famous People of the Dorden Region
                                                                               292
      Doulglock Sunbeard, “Mad Iron” (Dwarf/Male/171 years old)
      “Behold! Steam fluttering in the air! Doesn't that
      excite you?”
          Doulglock is the Director of the "Sunbeard’s
      Trains", the largest of the Kingslay Republic of
      Iron and Steel's magic train development
      companies. He has now retired from the front
      line as a Director, leaving research and
      development to his apprentices. The title of the
      Director is almost an honorary one, and he is in
      fact, retired.
          But Doulglock, a train enthusiast
      extraordinaire, visits the station every day to
      watch the trains come and go and get inspiration
      for his own ideas.
293
Farfa Esa Fresia, “All-Seeing Flower”                 (Meria     Long-Lived
Species/Female/14 years old)
“I will convey to you the will of the forest.”
    In the Fresian Forest Country, Farfa is a
priestess who can communicate with those long-
lived Meria who have become trees.
    Surrounded by her caretakers, the Elven
handmaidens, Farfa spends her days meditating
in the Grove of the Ancestors and communing
with the Elder Tree, a tree transformed by the
elders of old. Whenever a problem arises, the
Elven elders, who run the forest country, come to
her, and ask her about the will of the Elder Tree.
    Other than that, she rarely meets with
outsiders.
                                                                                 294
      Amed Touban, “Can’t Ride a Horse” (Human/Male/49 years old)
      “You can't ride a horse? Then ride an elephant.”
          He is a large man, weighing nearly 400 kg, and is known as "Can’t Ride a
      Horse" because he cannot ride a horse due to his size and weight. He loves
      food more than anything else, uses the railroad to gather various delicacies
      from abroad, employs many famous chefs, and regularly organizes cooking
      contests.
          His subordinates are concerned about his health, but he is preoccupied
      with writing a cookbook of rare dishes and Magnoa's traditional cuisine.
295
Vii Gared, “Snow-Covered Fang” (Lykant/Male/62 years old)
“This is the land of our fathers. Do you wish to pass or trade?"
    Vii is the chief of the White Bear Clan, one of the Lykant clans that inhabit
the Northern Fang Mountain Range in the northern part of the Dorden region.
    The White Bear Clan lives near the entrance to the Underfang Tunnel,
one of the rail tunnels through the mountains, and manages it, thriving on
transit fees from the trains passing through and trading in crafts and other
goods. However, the Clan has been criticized for making a tourist spectacle of
their traditional way of life.
                                                                                    296
         Remnants of Magitech Civilization
           In the three hundred years since the Diabolic Triumph, the knowledge and
      technology of the Magitech Civilization Period have been recovered and
      rebuilt, as adventurers have excavated ruins and recaptured cities previously
      lost to the Barbarous.
           Today, the benefits of the Magitech Civilization can be seen in everyday
      life, and they have shaped the landscape of the Alframe continent.
297
                        Magic Trains and Railroads
                                                                                    298
                                 Magic Ships (Airships)
          Airships are the most important and among the most valuable magical
      objects in Raxia.
          At the end of the Magitech Civilization Period, the countries of the world
      were connected by the routes of magic ships, and people could come and go
      freely. At its peak, there were many of them, and they were a means of
      transportation that ordinary people could afford.
          However, the technique of making cores for airships has been lost, and
      nowadays, magic ships are built using materials handed down from the
      Magitech Civilization Period or from excavated materials.
          The shape can vary, but in most cases, an ordinary ship is used and
      modified with a core attached. The core is not expensive if it is only used for
      floating, but it needs mana for every movement, such as up, down, forward,
      and backward, and uses mako stone for fuel or MP from the crew. Therefore,
      using an air sac (a balloon-like hull filled with gas) to supplement buoyancy,
      and sails for propulsion to reduce mana consumption, is common.
          In the past, huge Mako Charge Crystals, weighing more than 500 kg, were
      used to control the magic ships at will, but nowadays, it is rare to find a vessel
      that has both the core and this huge crystal. However, a ship equipped with
      both is a small but powerful vessel, having a large payload and the ability to
      reach considerable speeds.
          A medium-sized magic ship, which is relatively common, can carry about
      50 human passengers. Smaller vessels can carry up to 10 people, while larger
      vessels can carry more than 100. Therefore, a nation with many magic vessels
      will prosper in trade, and at the same time, threaten its neighbors.
          Even today, some countries use magic ships for trade and exchange with
      other countries, and it is possible to board a ship if you pay a high fare. The
      minimum is 500G, with a usual fee of 5,000G or more for a passenger cabin.
Swords of Protection
299
Rituals of Ward-Keeping
    The Swords of Protection found in Alframe keep out those who bear
soulscars for as little as a week and as long as several months. But to maintain
them, regular rituals are required.
    Swords of Protection are housed in a special facility called a shrine, built,
or reconstructed, during the Magitech Civilization Period. The shrine can
amplify the effects of Swords of Protection, and rituals are usually held there.
    Rituals are performed in temples or in the Institute of Magitechnology, last
at least one hour, and can take up to a day. During the ritual, finely crushed
sword shards are carefully sprinkled on the blade, and specific actions are taken
to make the Swords of Protection work again.
    During this ceremony, a Sword of Protection will be powerless. Therefore,
the ritual dates are never disclosed and they are conducted in secret.
    In small towns, the Swords of Protection may not have enough sword
shards to maintain their power and are vulnerable to Barbarous attacks. To
prevent this, the Adventurers' Guild has adventurers collects sword shards and
distributes them to cities and other areas to prevent shortages.
Distribution of Swords of Protection
     Since these Swords are also excavated items, the more adventurers gather
in a town or country, the more Swords there are likely to be in that place. In
most cases, there is about one Sword for every 2,000 inhabitants. In some
locations, it is about one for every 10,000 people. Ironically, the larger the city
is, the fewer the number of Swords and the less protection they provide.
     The performance of Swords of Protection varies widely, from a single
Sword of Protection shielding a radius of only a few hundred meters to a Sword
of Protection with a protective radius of over 10 km.
Barbarous Breaking the Boundaries
    Barbarous with few soulscars are not expected to be warded off by Swords
of Protection. However, their leaders, who possess a large number of soulscars,
cannot approach them. Rank and file Barbarous mobs can normally be dealt
with by ordinary guards.
    However, in rare cases, Upper Barbarous equipped with magic rings or
bracelets that allow them to act within the influence of Swords of Protection,
may lead their troops. Since these magical items lose effectiveness over time,
the Upper Barbarous will plan to attack quickly. So, you may be in danger even
within safe city limits if such Barbarous forces attack. Therefore, it is the role
of the Adventurers' Guild to investigate the movement of Barbarous forces in
advance and to uncover the schemes of the Upper Barbarous leaders.
                                                                                      300

Main Scenario
                                                                                    304
      Scenario Flow
      Introduction
          The Adventurers' Guild in the capital city of Fresia is as noisy as ever.
          Although far from the first time the room has been bustling with so many
      people, you notice that the receptionist leading you to the branch manager's
      office looks harassed and nervous.
          Dardam (Meria long-lived species/Male/166 years old), the head of the
      Adventurers Guild Branch in Fresia, welcomes you and begins to explain the
      situation in a low, calm voice...
     The Adventurers' Guild asks the PCs to investigate and eliminate the
danger facing the Unicorn. They offer 5,000 gamels per person if the request
is fulfilled. PCs needing further aid will be asked to contact the Guild through
Dardam.
     Regarding Deela Harpies and Unicorns, the PCs may perform a Monster
Knowledge Check when they hear about the mission from Dardam. Even
should they fail, they can ask Dardam for details about these mythical beasts,
and he will tell them what is written in the "Description" section of each
creature’s monster data entry.
     As for the exact location of the Unicorn's habitat, Dardam says that the PCs
can make inquiries in the Meria village regarding that.
     If the PCs accept the request, Dardam will sketch out a map of the route
to the Meria village with a word of thanks.
     The PCs can then prepare for departure and are free to go shopping, etc.
Milka’s Plea
   The journey to the Meria village goes smoothly without any dangerous
encounters.
   When the PCs tell the villagers that they are from Fresia, the Meria thank
them and lead them to a Deela Harpy, who is staying in the village.
   The Deela Harpy, whose name is Milka, tells the PCs of the problem.
                                                                                    306
           “My name is Milka. I live happily with other mythical beasts to the north
      of this village.
           “Please help my friend Remus.
           “He is still a young Unicorn. He felt an evil presence when he was playing
      with fairies in the northern forest. He tried to escape, but the presence caught
      up with him and spoke unintelligible words to him. Since then, he has been
      filled with fear. He has been lying low, hardly moving, and getting weaker by
      the day. I don't know why.
           “Remus has a parent named Almaas, who is also a Unicorn. Since Remus
      began to waste away, Almaas has been in a rage. He has been searching for
      whatever caused the problem with Remus’ health.
           “Almaas doesn't like Humanoids or the Barbarous, so it might not be a
      good idea to meet him in his current state of mind.
           “Other mythical beasts and animals in the area might know something. I
      can accompany you if you want to go looking for them.”
          If the PCs ask Milka to show them where Remus felt an “evil presence,"
      she will do so.
          If the PCs suggest going to the territory of Remus and Almaas and talking
      with them, Milka discourages the idea. If the PCs insist on this course of action,
      they will be guided to the place where Remus is whilst Almaas is away from
      their territory to look for the "evil presence." Should the Unicorn return whilst
      they are there. However, this would incur Almaas' wrath, and Milka tells them
      that she would be unable to prevent Almaas from attacking if that was the case.
          If the PCs talk to the Meria in the village, they will gain the following
      information:
          “Milka visited the village about a week ago. Since then, she has been
      returning every day during daylight, waiting for you to come.
          “We know where the Unicorns’ territory is. It is situated around a small
      lake about a kilometer east of the village.
          “The people of the village do not have direct contact with the Unicorns,
      and it is good manners to stay away from them. If you do encounter one, it is
      best to leave, acting as if nothing had happened. Then the Unicorns will forgive
      the intrusion.”
          After this, Milka will guide the PCs to either the lake in the Unicorn’s
      territory or to look for other animals or mythical beasts that have detected an
      "evil presence" in the forest.
307
    From this point on, the amount of time spent searching will affect how the
scenario develops, so do not forget to make a note of the passage of time using
the notation +X time points as directed in the text. The number of time points
accrued will affect the final encounter.
Unicorn Territory
   If the PCs are heading for Unicorn territory, Milka will guide them to a
spot close to it. After that, the PCs will need to check for any sign of Almaas;
one of the PCs should roll 1d, and look up the result below.
          Almaas has always disliked Humanoids and Barbarous and is now very
      upset because of the harm that has been done to Remus.
          If the PCs leave as soon as they meet the enraged Unicorn, he will not do
      anything. If the PCs succeed in calming the Unicorn down with a [Sanity] spell
      or through other means, he will tell them the information found under
      "Reasons for Remus’ Condition."
          If they fail to calm Almaas down or engage in any hostile actions, including
      combat, they will not glean any information from Remus or Almaas. After
      resolving the PCs’ actions, they will gain +1 time point (see "Exploring the Great
      Forest" below).
309
◯In  the case of 2-3
   While following Milka, the PCs reach an area where the footing is poor,
and the ground is covered with many layers of tree roots. Each PC needs to
make a Spot Trap check with a Target Number of 15. Characters who fail this
check fall into a hollow between the trees, suffering 24 points of physical
damage. This damage can be reduced by using a Tumble check.
   If one of the characters falls and the others rescue them, the party gains +2
time points and needs to search for other clues. Roll a 1d again, but this time
add the current [time point] total to the die roll.
   The "very unpleasant" place that animals describe is not that far away.
   Go to the “◯ In case of 6 or more” section without rolling the dice.
                                                                                    310
          Large trees are lined up in regular rows like the pillars supporting a huge
      building.
          Drawn into the place, you venture deeper into the hall-like structure, but
      you find inside a sinister scene, completely at odds with the solemn atmosphere
      of the surrounding area.
          As the party proceeds deeper into the space, near the closed end where the
      altar lies, they see some moving shapes. Even from a distance, they know that
      they are evil.
          A Human man, who seems to have noticed the PCs' cautious entrance,
      suddenly calls out to them.
          “Well, it's unusual to find people deep in the woods like this. Lost
      adventurers, perhaps?
          “This is the temple of the God of Trees, Dalion, built during the middle of
      the Magitech Civilization Period. It is now used as the temple of our Goddess,
      Zeides.
          “It is most unfortunate that you have stumbled upon our secret shrine... but
      we had no choice but to ask for help from the Black Knight. It is he that you
      seek, am I right?
          “Never mind, it will be an honor for you to become offerings to our
      Goddess!”
          Behind the man is an altar of sorts, and the PCs notice that the holy symbol
      that stands on top it is the same as the one the man is carrying around his neck.
          The Evil Priest attacks the party along with the Undead that swarms around
      the altar. A battle ensues.
          If Milka is with the PCs, she leaves the danger area and does not take part
      in the fighting.
      •Combat
      Rearguard: Evil Priest (see p. 410) x 1
      Rearguard: Phantom (see CR I, p. 418) x 1
      Frontline: Skeleton Guardian (see p. 372) x 2
      ※Using Standard Combat (see p. 48), the distance between the PCs and the
      Skeleton Guardians is 20m, and the Evil Priest is 5m behind the Skeleton
      Guardians. The PCs can be placed anywhere from 20 to 25m from the
      Skeleton Guardians.
311
    The other Undead vanish should the PCs prevail in the battle, and only the
Evil Priest remains. With his dying breath, he says:
   “But… it is already too late. My long-cherished wish will be fulfilled by the
Black Knight... The Death Scatterer will be revived… All creatures will
prostrate themselves before the power of the Immortal Queen!”
   He may also answer questions from the PCs, as follows:
   “Unicorn? Yes, because it is a symbol of abominable life. Once
contaminated, the Black Knight will take it as his mount...”
   “The more the Black Knight propitiates the Death Scatterer, the more
soulscars the Unicorn will gain, and it will become stronger...”
    The Evil Priest says these words as if he were singing and then succumbs
to his wounds. This is because his words contain a kind of incantation that
dedicates his soul to Zeides.
    When the Evil Priest's loot is examined, a copy of the “Immortal Queen's
Scripture" will also be obtained. It is a book written in magitech, and inside are
words of praise to the Immortal Goddess and the hidden location of the "Death
Scatterer." If the PCs cannot read the book, they can have it read to them in
the Meria village (+1 time point). The location of the mysterious Death
Scatterer is indicated to be northwest of the Great Forest and west along the
foot of the mountain range, near the Underfang Tunnel.
    To restore Remus’ health, it appears that it is necessary for the party to
locate the "Black Knight" who has ensorcelled the Unicorn and to defeat him.
Tracking
   At this stage, the PCs can return to the Adventurers' Guild in Fresia and
report the situation.
   They can also head directly to the Underfang Tunnel in search of the Black
Knight.
    “If the Black Knight (I've never heard of him...) is a follower of the
Immortal Queen Zeides, we can't ignore him, he is a follower of a Goddess of
the Second Sword. And we must save the Unicorn…
    “A Tainted Tree God’s Shrine from the Magitech Civilization Period, you
say? We will confirm this and dispatch a priest to reconsecrate it.
                                                                                     312
          “The Guild will assist you as much as we can. Will you continue to learn
      more about this Black Knight and the Death Scatterer, whatever that may be?
      It will probably be a tough fight.”
          Add +2 time points to account for the time lost in making this report to the
      Guild.
         Dardam will prepare and give the following items to the PCs to help them.
      The PCs should consult with each other to determine who will carry each item.
          The PCs can also learn about the Black Knight and the Death Scatterer by
      checking the Magitech Civilization Period literature in the city libraries. For
      each successful Literature Check with a Target Number of 16, the following
      information is obtained, one by one, from top to bottom.
          The same PC can attempt a Literature Check multiple times by retrying. If
      one of the PCs performs the Literature check more than once, a +1 time point
      will be added for each attempt.
          If PCs do not want to make further Literature Checks, continue with "To
      Underfang Tunnel".
313
  “If what that bad Human said is true, we must defeat the Black Knight.
Remus is going to be overcome by him if we fail.
  “Rescue Remus! I will tell Almaas that you helped us.
  “I will also tell the Meria people to purify the shrine of the God of Trees.”
   Milka says goodbye to the PCs. Go to the “To the Underfang Tunnel.”
     “Ah, adventurers? You've come to the right place. We were just talking
about where we could hire some of your kind.
     “We are miners, and our main job is to dig the ore veins in the tunnel. But
about three days ago, we found a big hole in the side of the tunnel, maybe the
site of an old cave-in now uncovered. Those who went there to investigate have
not come back.
     “We don’t know what is going on beyond the old cave-in. There doesn't
seem to be any danger of a collapse, but our client told us to stop work pending
an inspection, so we were just talking about who should go in there next.
     “We were thinking of hiring adventurers to take care of this situation... Do
you guys want the job? Our clients pay well, so we'll let them know what your
pay rates are.”
    The miners ask the PCs to rescue the miners who went to investigate earlier
and explore the tunnels beyond the hole. The reward is 1,000 gamels per
person. They also promise a bonus proportionate to the danger levels
encountered. Three miners are currently missing. They describe them and
their names (which are up to the GM).
    If the party wants to go deeper into the Underfang Tunnel, either to accept
this request or go on their own, see the “Abandoned Mine Site” below.
      ◯①Cave Entrance
          A passage about 3m high and 3m wide curves gently to the right and
      continues into darkness. The PCs cannot see its end, and the remains of an
      old railway track can still be seen at the entrance.
          If PCs want to search the surrounding area, they need to make a Search
      check with a Target Number of 15. If they succeed, they will find hoof prints
      leading into the passageway.
      ◯②Y-Intersection
         A tunnel extends to the far right and far left at the end of a gentle curve.
      Here, too, PCs can find hoof prints if they succeed in the Search check with a
      Target Number of 15. If they have already found the hoof prints, they can
      perform the Track check with a Target Number of 14 instead, and if they
      succeed, they will see that the hoof prints lead to the left.
         If PCs want to see what is going on beyond the left and right branches, they
      need to make a Notice check with a Target Number of 14. If they succeed,
      they will hear a moaning sound from the far right and a faint sound of running
      water from the far left.
315
316
          Each of the three crates contains a Human man. They are unconscious,
      but from their descriptions, the PCs know that they are the miners whom their
      co-workers wanted the party to find.
          If the PCs want to rouse the miners, they need to use the [Awaken] spell or
      an Awake Potion or a similar effect on them. If a miner is awakened by one of
      these actions, he will say:
          “Are you adventurers or…? We are miners. We’re here because we tried
      to investigate a gaping hole in the tunnel, but monsters cornered us and
      knocked us out.
          “My light was doused so quickly that I have no idea what the monsters look
      like nor how many there are.”
          Once the miners have been rescued, they can be returned to the entrance
      and sent back to the mining village. The PCs can also decide to delve deeper
      into the tunnels with the miners accompanying them.
          If the PCs take the miners with them to the end of the tunnel, they can
      reduce accumulated time points by -1. In case of future combat, the miners
      must participate as a character with HP 10 and a Defense of 2. All Skill Checks
      they make are rolled using 2d+2, but they will not make any attacks in the fight
      (so they will only roll Evasion and Resistance checks).
      ◯④Water Veins
          The tunnel extends into the mine in a gentle curve. There is a slight
      depression on one side of the road, from which underground water gushes. If
      the PCs heard water at the Y-Intersection, they will realize that the sound was
      emanating from here.
          If the PCs want to examine water in detail, they need to make a Search
      check; regardless of whether the check is successful or not, they will not
      discover anything unusual.
          If one of the PCs performs a Search check to check the water, immediately
      after the check, the PCs must make a Danger Sense check with a Target
      Number of 14. If they succeed, they will sense that the PCs who are
      concentrating on the Search will be spotted by monsters that have appeared
      from a side passage. If the Danger Sense check fails, no one will be aware of it,
      and those PCs will be taken by surprise by the lurking monsters.
          Either way, there will be a battle.
      •Combat
      Frontline: Loud Bolg Commander (see p. 340) x 1
317
Frontline: Minotaur (see p. 339) x 2
※Using Standard Combat (see p. 48), the distance between the PC who made
the Danger Sense check, and all the monsters is 5 m. The PCs who did not
make Search checks are placed 5m behind the PCs who did.
If PCs win the battle, they can proceed further into the mine.
◯⑥Deepest Part
   The innermost part of the old mine is a large cavern with a radius of about
10 meters.
   Go to “Magitech Civilization and the Evil Goddess.”
                                                                                      318
         Coming from the center of the space, you can hear a mysterious voice.
      When you turn your lights toward the voice, ominous creatures turn their
      heads to stare back at you.
        The Black Knight attacks along with the surrounding Barbarous and
      Undead. A battle ensues.
      •Combat
      Rearguard: Specter (see p. 373) x 1
      Frontline: Black Knight (Bone Knight) (see p. 374) x 1
      Frontline: Dark Troll (Worshipper of Zeides) (see p. 340) x 0-2
      ※Black Knight (Bone Knight) is enhanced with 9 x sword shards (see CR I, p.
      384).
      ※The number of Dark Trolls changes according to the current time point
      total that has been accrued during the scenario. If the total number of time
      points is between 0 and 2, then no Trolls are present; if it is 3 to 4, then 1 Troll
      appears; if 5 or more, then 2 Trolls appear.
      ※Using Standard Combat (see p. 48), the distance between the PCs, the Black
      Knight, and the Dark Troll is 10m, and the Specter is 5m behind the Black
      Knight. Each PC can be placed at any position between 10 and 15m from the
      Black Knight.
319
   If the PCs are victorious, the Black Knight will say, “My long-cherished
dream… has not been lost yet…” and will disappear.
    With the vanishing of the Black Knight, the power of sacrificial victims
trapped within the Death Scatterer can escape from its influence. The Death
Scatterer will remain in place, but the tunnel will be sealed and destroyed over
time.
    If PCs want to return to the Adventurers’ Guild in Fresia, go to
“Conclusion.”
Conclusion
   “You guys have done a great job. We have confirmed the situation with the
Humans and with Meria.
   “The Unicorns sent a message to the village of the Meria. If you ever have
any trouble in the future, they will be there to help you.”
    The PCs will receive 5,000 gamels per person from the Adventurers’ Guild
and 2,000 gamels per person from the miners, including hazard pay. In
addition, they will be able to get help from Remus and Almaas in the future.
    The scenario ends with the players receiving 1,000 experience points, along
with the experience points awarded for defeating monsters, and growing their
characters.
                                                                                   320
       Barbarous Faith and the Gods of
             the Second Sword
          Like Humans, some Barbarous find solace in the Gods and have taken to
      worshiping them and performing miracles in their name. These Barbarous
      deities are followers of Ignis, the Second Sword, and are known among the
      civilized races as the Malevolent Gods.
          As with humans, there exist Barbarous of the same type and clan that hold
      widely differing beliefs. Much like Humanoid priests, they seek to go out and
      spread the word and teachings of their Gods to others.

          For each Undead or Humanoid in the area that fails to resist, roll 2d and

      if the target is Humanoid.

                 The target panics and goes berserk. For 30 seconds (3 rounds), it
                 receives a +2 bonus for Accuracy and a -2 penalty for Evasion. If the
         2–4
                 target has an intelligence score, it cannot use any actions that require
 Eff.            a reason or cast any spells
                 The target is consumed by fear, slowing its movements. For 3
         5 – 9 minutes (18 rounds), it receives a -1 penalty on all Accuracy,
                 Evasion, and Spellcasting checks.
                 The target flees (or, in the case of the skirmish, uses a retreat action).
                 If it cannot flee, it cowers in fear, cannot take any actions for ten
       10 – 12
                 seconds (1 round), and automatically fails all action checks (see CR
                 I, p. 114). After that round, it can act normally again.
                                                                                              322
                               Barbarous Gods
         The Barbarous follow the Gods of the Second Sword, Ignis. When using
      a Barbarous character that is a Priest, choose which God the Barbarous follows
      and grant them the appropriate spells.
         The Gods introduced here are not available for PC Priests to choose from.
Ancient Gods
Major Gods
323
    The worshippers of Zeides explore eternal life, boast of the beauty and
superiority of the physical body, and believe that they should rule others in the
holy name of Zeides.
    However, they consider it vulgar to overtly display their power, so they
usually hide in the dark, building up their strength and trying to improve their
beauty. They believe that night is the time and the world where Zeides should
rule. Her worshippers hate sunlight, aiming to eventually subdue it.
    Most of her worshippers are Nosferatu and their servants. They study
immortality and the perfection of beauty, and their secretive ways keep them
hidden. They build temples underground or in secluded places.
    However, they do not hesitate to fight when push comes to shove,
demonstrating their fearsome killer instincts and abilities. They will seduce
beautiful women and men alike, attempting to win them over, or even
forcefully abducting them.
                                                                                     324

                                  Monsters
          With the addition of numerous monsters in this book, as well as more
      unique skills, GMs are encouraged to use them as new threats for adventurers
      to face and to help create exciting scenarios.
Additional Elements
Classification: Fairy
         It is said that fairies are the embodiment of mana merged with natural
      phenomena such as wind and water. Therefore, they can be seen everywhere,
      mainly in nature. A Fairy Tamer's contract is with these fairies, and they can
      borrow their magic or summon them directly for aid.
         Fairies have several common characteristics. These are described in
      summary before introducing their data.
Petrifaction
   A monster with this unique skill may declare up to X unique skills (of the
Declared Type "◯") each round. However, the monster cannot use the same
unique skill multiple times to double or triple its effect; only different effects
may be declared.
Fairy Magic
   When a monster uses Fairy Magic, the need for vocalization, a Fairy
Tamer's Gem, a mako stone for [Summon Fairy], and other conditions, should
be ignored. Only the limitation of movement to a Limited Move should be
applied.
   The type of Fairy Magic used by the monster is specified in the data. GMs
may change this for any reason they like.
                                                                                         330
                                         Techniques
          Some monsters can use Spellsongs and Finales, but when a monster uses
      them, Rhythm management should be ignored to reduce the burden on the
      GM. Monsters that use Spellsongs and Finales have their name listed in their
      data and should be handled according to the descriptions of those abilities.
          When using a Spellsong or Finale, the monster does not require an
      instrument and can always sing. However, the type of movement is still limited
      to Limited Move for PCs. Also, as a rule, the monster cannot own any pets.

►[Finale: ****]/Y(Z)(/Willpower/Half)
    This is a Finale that can be used by a monster. In the case of a Finale that
deals damage, the heading will be supplemented with "/Willpower/Half".
Range distance and target are supplemented with a description. Also, total
damage and recovery are converted to "2d+X" points instead of using a power
table result plus Bardic Power.
    If more than one Finale can be used, the name will be omitted from the
heading, and details will be provided in the description.
    You don’t need to manage Rhythm while using Finales. However, as with
Special Spellsongs, special conditions must be met before the unique skill can
be used.

       magical eyes can be used to make magical armor and command a high price in the markets.

swamps and other wetlands worshiping their dragon gods. Standing shy of 2m, they look like

like elves, and similarly have houses with dry and wet sections.

   Also called mermaids, these barbarous have the lower half as that of a fish. Since they lived
 in the sea, they had little contact with other barbarous and humanoids, so they have remained
 neutral and have not been eradicated in the Magitech Civilization era.
   As a race, Mermen tend to avoid fighting except in self-defense and are often neutral
 towards most other races. However, they have a hostile relationship with some marine
 Barbarous, which could theoretically be leveraged into an alliance with Elves against the other
 aquatic races.

 themselves in battle.

        Bishops are one of the strongest Mermen. They follow the gods and lead their tribes as
      prescribed by their words. Bishops even have the ear of Merman chiefs, giving them
      considerable political power.
        While Merman Bishops tend to follow the Ancient Gods, regardless of whether they're gods
      of the First Sword, Lumiere, or the Second Sword, Ignis, some follow gods that have recently
      found apotheosis and are thus unknown among the land-dwelling races.

      power. Standing close to 3m tall, they can use larger equipment. Ogres want to act as though
      they are master tacticians, using Lesser Ogres and other barbarous as fodder for their evil (and
      often cowardly) operations to attack humanoid races. However, their success rate isn't the
      greatest, and those who fail often tend to be sent on those same suicide missions by other Ogres.

  A warrior branch of the Androscorpions (see p. 335), Caesarscorpions have often seen
leading groups in sorties or at the head of a squadron of Androscorpions in emergencies. As
the name says, Caesarscorpions have a pair of large pincers that can cut through enemies like
scissors through paper.

         They are ugly Barbarous that live mainly by the seashore and riverside. They are short and have
       wrinkled faces. Their right hand is a pair of crab-like pincers, and they carry a lantern in their left
       hand. Lanterns are used for hunting prey, confusing and stranding boats at night, and luring
       Humanoids into swamps and rivers. Sometimes they can also be seen inland serving other
       Barbarous. They are hated by humanoid fairy tamers because they do not make contracts with
       them but force them to work.

         A giant monster with a cow's head on a humanoid body, Minotaurs are incredibly powerful and
       dangerous monsters. Their intelligence is pretty low, but they are quick to anger. When riled, they
       are challenging to deal with. Adept at finding sword labyrinths, they will often take up residence
       inside and become the warden of such labyrinths. A minotaur will only need to eat every few days
       but will often lure young women to the labyrinth to be devoured.

         One of many different shapeshifters that fall under the classification “Lycanthrope,” a
       Werewolf is the most common of the beastmen.
         When in their humanoid form, they would easily pass among civilized folk without issue.
       However, they can turn into a bestial form, growing fur over their body, their face turning to
       that of a wolf, and sharp claws growing from both hands. They form their own clans, with
       strict hierarchies based on age, so the young Werewolves help the elders when necessary.
         They cannot reproduce independently but rather kidnap Humans to join them through a
       special ritual. Therefore, their soulscar is relatively small, and they sometimes blend in with
       human society, taking advantage of their beastification ability. In addition to wolves, there are
       many other species of Lycanthrope, such as tigers and bears.

        Indistinguishable from humans at first glance, a Basilisk is Barbarous with the power of
      petrification. Basilisks often wear blindfolds to suppress their petrifying gaze until they find
      the right target. Even then, the petrifying gaze can be used through the blindfold, and petrified
      animal remains can often be found around a Basilisk den.
        Often found in deserts, they collect various lesser Barbarous as followers and enslaved
      people, though they have a rivalry with Drakes regarding who is stronger.
        Despite this, if the situation calls for it, Basilisk and Drake may work together for a greater
      goal, and woe comes to those who stand in their way.
        The true identity of a Basilisk, this eight-legged beast, looks like a lizard 5m long. While the
      Basilisk's intelligence and speed are a little lower, the ability to petrify foes has increased,
      making the Basilisk even more dangerous. However, most Basilisks feel that this form is quite
      ugly and hate being seen by others in this form. As such, they will almost certainly try to kill
      or petrify those who see this hideous form.

        Immortalized by a Blood Kiss from an older Nosferatu, these Lesser Vampires are incredibly
      powerful, even among the Barbarous. Often, followers of Zeides were once humans that have
      fallen into the good graces of other vampires and left their humanity behind. Despite this, they
      are often stunning, and even their gaze can paralyze and fascinate lesser creatures.
        Lesser Vampires must still drink blood daily to keep themselves at peak performance. The
      actual source of the blood can be any living being, but often, they will prey upon beautiful
      members of the opposite gender. Occasionally, they will even starve themselves to fit into society
      and get closer to their desired target, making the drinking all sweeter. Care has to be taken,
      however, as it is effortless to drain a target entirely and raise them as a subordinate Blood
      Sucker, and often a Lesser Vampire has a small retinue of followers.
        Despite their powers, sunlight is the bane of the Lesser Vampire, reducing them to ash in a
      small amount of time. After only a few minutes outside during the day, all that will be left of the
      Lesser Vampire is a pile of ashes and possibly some clothing. Because of this, Lesser Vampires
      will be reluctant to move out of their roost during daylight hours.

  This is a giant centipede that appears on the plains of the Alframe continent. It mainly feeds
on animals on the plains, but in the Dorden region, it has been observed to frequent the
vicinity of railroad tracks. Studies have shown that they move along the tracks by licking the
track water and oil spilled by trains, earning them the nickname "Railway Centipedes.” This
habit is thought to be a way for them to replenish some nutrients, but this has not been proven
with certainty. When they are large, they are not much bigger than a train and often block
the railroad tracks and are requested to be taken down.

  It is a monstrous bird without feathers, with a wingspan of an adult of 7 to 10 meters. It has
a reptilian-like body and is said to be a kind of pterosaur. They are ferocious; when they catch
their prey, they go on a rampage and kill, pecking it. After the meal, it often becomes a
paradise for carrion-eating animals. Such animals can be seen running in flocks on the
ground, following this monster bird soaring in the sky.
  Its membrane is prized as a material for leather goods.

  It’s a beast with numerous snakeheads, about 10 meters long. Each head has an
independent ego and each prey on instinct. They usually emerge from swamps and lakes and
attack animals in the lakeshore with only their heads protruding. The number of heads of
hydra is often reported to be 7-9, but various accounts suggest that the number may vary, and
each individual is thought to have a different number of heads.
  When the body is attacked, all heads concentrate on this enemy. Hydra has an exceptional
regeneration ability and is said to be able to revive heads repeatedly unless the wound is
burned. (Illustration p. 352)

        It is a plant that parasitizes other species and absorbs nutrients from them. It looks like a
      clump of sand daisies and usually crawls on the ground.
        It is characterized by its ability to frequently change parasite hosts. It generally parasitizes
      plants, but occasionally it parasitizes humanoids, barbarous and animals. Among humanoids,
      the parasite often targets and parasitizes Meria, probably because of their origins.
        It is dangerous to encounter it alone, as its a humanoid, barbarous, or animal parasite that
      can quickly take the life of its host. Since they do not attack constructs, conjurers are very
      useful for their cleanup.

  A giant tree that roams around, using its roots as feet to walk. Entlets are said to be over 100
years old and have a wide variety of knowledge they can be persuaded to share with others.
Their leaves are said to be herbs that increase one’s wisdom, and teas brewed with them are

 This monster is a humanoid covered in parasitic mushrooms, feeding the mushroom as it
decomposes. Typically found in dark, damp places, the Fungal Parasite will attack any
humanoid or animal passing by, hoping to infect them and use them as a new host. Fungal
Parasite hosts will last for a year or two before becoming desiccated husks, drained of all vital
nutrients. It is possible to save a victim of the Fungal Parasites, though it involves casting a
[Refresh] spell (see p. 143) on a host whose HP has been reduced to 0.
 Rarely, a mushroom called “Forest Marvel” may grow among the various Fungal Parasites.
This mushroom is non-toxic and quite delicious, so it is valued by many in the culinary
community. Additionally, it is thought to have anti-aging properties, and some elder priests
have sent out adventurers to look for these mushrooms.

      for the pale discoloration and coldness of the skin, it looks almost the same as before its
      death. The blocks of ice cling to various parts of their former equipment, and they sometimes
      attack with ice blocks by throwing them, freezing anything they touch.

         A Specter is believed to be the spirit of a powerful and angry magic user. Often, these spellcasters
       lived during the age of the Magical Civilization, the Magic Civilization period, and their sheer hatred
       of the living has kept their form intact. In fact, this hatred drives the Specter to kill anyone it comes
       across. For some reason, Specters will only be found at night and disappear during the day.
       However, unlike some others, the sun does not damage the Specter. (Illustration p. 371)

         The significant difference from the regular Revenant (see CR I, p. 416) is that it retains almost all
       of its original knowledge and memories. It is often distorted by delusions, but you can converse
       with High Revenants and negotiate with them. However, they are rarely interested in anything other
       than relief from their own grudges.
         High Revenant can be created from humanoid, barbarous, animal, or mythical beast of
       Adventurer Level or Monster Level 7 or higher.

  At first glance, this appears to be a mounted knight in armor. However, as the Bone Knight
draws near, it's easy to see the skull peering out of the armor, its malice towards the living
almost tangible. An old knight from the Magic Civilization age is searching for their lost lord
and will let nothing get in their way. Though dead for a while, a Bone Knight's swordsmanship
and magical prowess remain as sharp as they were, making the undead knight a truly fearsome
foe. (Illustration p. 366)

        It is believed that, in ancient times, royal families from the Magic Civilization period would
      often have themselves bound and buried in ornate crypts to keep their family together and
      protect them from what may lie beyond. A Mummy Lord is unliving proof of such claims
      and wields incredible power to preserve the family's crypt. Able to command other Mummies
      that were buried alongside them, a Mummy Lord also has great combat prowess and magical
      power at its command.
        While a Mummy Lord is typically only roused from its slumber to deter any intruders into
      the crypt, there are stories of large armies of the undead attacking settlements under the
      watchful eye of a Mummy Lord.

  This is a combat training construct from the Magic Civilization Period. It has a log-like body
with three arms holding weapons and four short legs for movement. Rarely a working version
of this construct has been found at Magic Civilization Period ruins.
  It is said to have been used to teach how to deal with various weapons and magical attacks.
Its three arms were modeled after a certain humanoid race that became extinct during the
Magic Civilization Period.

        This construct was created in the Magic Civilization Period and had a caterpillar-like body
      with a sucker-like mouth. It was mainly used for guarding and eliminating intruders. It moves
      with its body wriggling and jumping and attacks hostile objects by sucking on them with its
      sucker pads and sucking up their bodily fluids. The name is derived from the bruises left on
      the target after the suckers were attached.
        It also has the power to suck up mana and cancel all weak magic and effects, and as a
      byproduct of this effect, it may have crystals with mana stored in its body. They can be used
      in exactly the same way as the mako stone.

  A monster that mimics a tiny traveler's hut, room, or other such building, the Sinker House
is deceptively dangerous. Fitting in an area usually around 5m in height, width, and depth,
the Sinker House can be attacked through the floor or walls. The house can create a sizeable
conical drill to attack the inhabitants, changing the floor to make it more dangerous for the
inhabitants all the while.
  While the Sinker House is often seen as a small hut, it can appear as any indoor and
outdoor room to trap victims inside. However, these rooms do seem to be slightly distorted,
and this distortion can give away the Sinker House's mimicry.
  Additionally, Gargoyles and other flying creatures find the interior quite welcoming, making
it all the more dangerous for unaware adventurers.

        When the monster detects an intruder in the house, it lures them with its spellsongs and
      draws them into a trap. After that, the monster attacks the intruder with its arms and
      spellsongs.

  This magical device was created as a "dream food table" in the Magic Civilization Period.
Underneath the four-legged rectangular table, storage is installed to store foodstuffs. The table
is equipped with a long, thin arm that serves the food to the table.
  Many of those that remain today have malfunctioned. It restrains those seated and does not
release them until all the food that appears endlessly has been consumed. Those who try to
force their way out or harm them are punished with serving arms and stored in the storage as
food for the next visitor. Malfunctioning storage will also most likely lose its ability to keep
food fresh.

        A giant monster about 1m in diameter, a Buckbaird has one giant eye in the front and many
      much smaller eyes around its body. It's covered in fine black fur and floats using a mysterious
      power. The front eye has incredible magical power and can fire five different rays at targets
      in front of it. Due to the structure of the eye, only one ray can be used at a time. In combat,
      the Buckbaird combines the usage of these rays with incredibly fast tackling attacks, making
      it dangerous both in melee and at a range.
        There are many mysteries about the ecology of the Buckbaird, and it is thought that they
      are the creation of some mad wizard during the Magic Civilization period. However, their
      origin and diet are unknown, and even their thoughts and possible breeding habits are an
      absolute mystery. What little is known is they enjoy the spaces in underground labyrinths.

        It is a specialized gunnery model of the Zerlay series, with three optical weapons connected
      side by side. The legs, which serve as the model's base, have only minimum mobility and are
      not designed for high-speed or long-distance movement.
        Although it has a high attack power, it is limited because the simultaneous firing of all the
      rays causes malfunction due to heat exhaustion.

 This prototype results from a project to integrate the Dorn and Zerlay series. Researchers
who had been developing each other's products provided their development records to each
other.
 Integrating different concepts and designs was pretty challenging, but they overcame the
difficulties and completed a product with a high level of combat power. Although it can be
said that most of the development objectives have been achieved, there is a record that the
developers lamented the gap between their actual efforts and project goals.

  Colossus was a giant magitech created on the Alframe continent during the Magitech Civilization
Period. It is said to have taken various forms with unparalleled destructive power. Today, most of
them are inactive and have been abandoned in multiple locations. However, it is unknown whether
some of them have been destroyed and will never operate again, or whether some remain in a dormant
state. Programmed to start working again at any moment. A few cases of colossi are found in working
conditions at ruins.
  The ones listed here are among the smallest colossuses. They look like a human upper body
mounted on a hexapod base. It is said to have been used to eliminate simple threats quickly because
of its low cost (for a colossus), easy maintenance, and mobility. Although small for a colossus, it is still
a giant, more than 10 meters tall, and a formidable enemy.

        They are hunted by both outlaws and Barbarous for their horn, which can cure diseases
      and heal wounds even after it is removed from the Unicorn.
        The horn has the entirety of the Unicorn's MP stored in it, and when cut it retains the
      Unicorn's current MP (killing the Unicorn in the process) and can be used as a Unicorn Horn

        Chimera is fearsome in appearance, with the heads of a lion, goat, and dragon, the body of
      a snake used for a tail, and the wings of a massive bat on its back. Their origin is unclear, but
      it can only be assumed that a crazed wizard from the Magic Civilization period came up with
      this beast as part of some deranged experiment.
        With multiple heads comes incredible intelligence, and Chimeras excel in cunning strategy.
      They are also ruthless and will offer hope to their opponents only to snatch it away at the last
      second. Chimeras also tend to have Undead and Constructs under their control and will have
      each head sleep at different times, making them formidable opponents to take advantage of.
      However, Chimeras tend to be overconfident, and it is said that this hubris may be their
      downfall.

      and the second half as a fish.
        It circulates in a large territory and attacks violently against those it perceives to be violating
      its territory. As a result, its territory is a place where there are few dangerous predators.
      Therefore, it is called the guardian of marine life by fishermen and others who live in the sea.
      However, they are rarely seen. In some areas, a folk song says, "They live hard and sleep at
      the bottom of the sea.”

  A young dragon, less than 500 years, yet older than a Draconet. Even though it is relatively young
for a Dragon, Lesser Dragons tend to be around 10m long, so any sort of melee attack on the head
is nigh impossible. Able to spit flames and cast spells while flying over the skirmish, a Lesser
Dragon's offensive power is second to none. Because of this, Lesser Dragons tend to be very self-
centered and overconfident, looking down on others they consider “lesser creatures.” Lesser
Dragons look to hoard treasure and valuables, just like any other dragon. Any brave adventurer (or
adventuring party) that can kill a Lesser Dragon will not only earn the title “Dragon Slayer” but will
have access to the vast hoard that the dragon had acquired. Additionally, very rarely do dragons
have Dragon Eggs inside their bodies, which are incredibly valued on their own due to their use in
several magical experiments.

        Water fairies that have become stronger with time and mana, Undines appear as beautiful humanoid
      women (often humans and elves). Often seen in larger bodies of water, they have also been sighted in
      rivers and are very curious about travelers on the water. However, their curiosity may occasionally be
      dangerous, as Undines tend not to know that other races can drown in water.
        They dislike ugly people on the water and try to deliberately sink their vessels, so they can't be seen
      on the water. However, an even more hated enemy is those who would pollute water sources. These
      people, the Undines, actively and aggressively try to drown to protect themselves and their habitat.

  Salamanders are 2m long lizard-like fairies drawn to flames and fire and tend to live in areas
with higher temperatures than usual. Because of this tendency, they're driven to burn
everything around them, and there's often charcoal strewn about their lairs. However, despite
being drawn to fire, Salamanders aren't aggressive, though they are still dangerous when not
threatened.

      live with him.

  It is a black daemon of about the same size as a human. The face has a red, open mouth
with a straight slit, but no other visible features exist.
  This monster can shapeshift into the creature it perceives, then kills it and replaces it. It
often enters into Humanoid and Barbarous societies.
  Doubleburg's purpose is unknown, but they are said to be sent by the Daemons to learn
about the intelligent life forms in the world of Raxia. They actively use their ability to
transform, perhaps to advance their observations into the psychology of individuals and
groups, and attempt to create doubt and confusion in cities and communities.
  They are similar to Ogres and are considered more dangerous because they cannot be
blocked by Swords of Protection.

  A three-headed daemon dog, a Cerberus is really more the size of a horse. Able to conjure
up breath weapons of fire, ice, and poison, it can be a dangerous foe in combat. Also known
as the Watchdog of Hell, Cerberuses are typically seen guarding something, whether the
entrance to a labyrinth, a vault inside, or something else. While its intelligence is that of an
average dog's, a Cerberus will remain loyal to its orders and will fight to the death to carry
them out.

        As sparkling fibers make it difficult to see Lunzemase, powerful weapon attacks mercilessly
      reap the lives of creatures while dazzled.

                              Golem Data
    In this section, we introduce the data of the created golems used by the
conjurer. The golem data consists of the monster data of the golem itself and
the Enhancing Items that strengthen it.
                                                                                                  412

      ◯Continuous Attack I
        If the golem successfully hits a target in melee, it may make a second attack against the same
      target.
                                                                                                    414

      ◯Improved HP Enhancement

                                     Golem Data
Omitted Data
    The following data are common to all golems and are omitted from the
individual data.
Golem Classification
    All golems are classified as Constructs.
    These data are common to all golems. Golem can appear in various places,
hence "Habitat: Various," but the ruins of the Magic Civilization Period is still
will be the most common place to encounter golems.
◯Can be Detected
 The golems can be detected by [Sense Magic] spell and similar effects.
◯Artificial
    Golems cannot be healed with some spells, items, etc. Only with those that
restore constructs HP.
                                                                                    416
                                      Note on Loot
      Loot
          The loot from golems can only be obtained from those that have been
      active for a long time; destroying a golem created by a PC will not give any loot.
      Enhancing Items
          Golems can also be found with Enhancing Items. This means they will be
      empowered, but if you defeat them, you will automatically obtain Enhancing
      Items.
          Some golems encountered since the Magic Civilization Period were created
      using advanced technology that has now been lost. In some cases, Enhancing
      Items can be used beyond the maximum number allowed. In particular,
      Garnet of Vitality and Focused Garnet of Vitality, which enhances maximum
      HP, were often used beyond the current limit.
      ②Golem Name
       This is the name of the golem.
      ③Materials
          The following is a description of the materials required to create a golem.
      Prices in parentheses are for regular/advanced materials.
      ④Monster Data
          This section describes the data for the golem as a monster. The readings is
      the same as the general monster data,
417
⑥Enhancing Items
    The available Enhancing Items for the golem are listed here. For clarity,
each item is supplemented with a price and a summary of what kind of ability
it provides in the heading section. For items that require other items for use,
dependencies are indicated by connecting them with a "└. "
    For a golem with multiple sections, the available Enhancing Items may
differ depending on the section. In this case, "Any section" means items that
can be used in any section. In principle, the effects of Enhancing Items are
considered independently for each section, except for "All Section Must be
Equipped," which means Enhancing Items are effective only when used one at
a time in all sections.
⑦Loot
   This is the data of loot obtained when the golem is defeated as a monster.
Golems created and used by PCs do not leave loot.
⑧Description

Designer's Notebook                          Tanaka Kouji
    It has been two months since our adventure on the continent of Alframe
began. Our staff has done its best to bring you this book to help you enjoy the
adventure even more.
    New classes, Fairy Tamer, Enhancer, and Bard, have been added along
with a new race Meria, and new rules such as Standard Combat, reputation
system, and Abyss weapons. In addition, a description of the new adventure
stage Dorden Region, a detailed description of each race, and introductions to
famous NPCs will allow players to learn more about the world of SW2.5.
    And for those of you who have already played with Core Rulebook I to
some extent and have mastered the characters and fellows, we have prepared
new data, new elements, and many new monsters up to the 10th level of this
book. We hope you will fully use them and embark on an even tougher
adventure with big opportunities.
    This book is as large as Core Rulebook I. We want to thank all the editors,
designers, and illustrators who did their best to meet the tight schedule of this
book.
    In addition, I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to all the
staff members who helped with the writing and test-playing of this book and to
Hitoshi Yasuda, the boss who supervised this project.
    From this book, the expansion of the world of SW2.5 has begun. We look
forward to your continued support.
