Shadows, new humanoids, are said to have arrived from
the northern continent. They are similar in appearance to
humans but have a third eye on their forehead.
This character has a new Tactician class, which allows
them to be on the frontlines and support their allies. This
character can be a solo fighter and also can support his
allies on the frontline with the Stratagem of [Godspeed

[Surging Offense II: Raging Flame], which increases their
damage. This character shines in a group with many melee
warriors.
This character can add its Tactician level to their Initiative

There are a number of gameplay differences between
Fluorite and other humanoids, so be careful when dealing
with them.
Although the Crystal Body gives them exceptional
strength and high MP, their vitality is the lowest of all

barbarous traits or soulscars are called "weaklings" and are
despised. They are called “weak barbarous” or
“humanoids” in a barbarous society.
This character is a Weakling born of Garuda parents and,
unlike its parent, cannot fly. Instead, it has two race
features: [Immature Wings], which reduces falling damage,
and [Wind-Edge Blade], which can deal damage for MP
cost.
This character has Priest, Fencer, and Mystic classes and
can fill various roles, from support to attacker. Normally,
as Priest, they can heal their allies, and if they don’t need
healing, this character can use its divination [Benefic Star
of Swords] for support or use his Fencer class or [Wind-
Edge Blade] for attacks.

note that character will be much weakened under the sunlight.
Attacks by the Grappler class can be combined with
[Abominable Blood]. In addition, the Summoning Arts can deal
with ranged magical damage or transform into a powerful melee
form, making the Grappler class very effective. It is advisable to
choose which tactic to use after observing the opponent.
It is also possible to use the [Daemon's Claw] of the
Summoning Arts for melee attacks and the Grappler class for
Evasion.

particular, Nocturnal Divination can severely strain the
diviner, as he or she will see a horrible future version.
When the diviner uses a Divination, the diviner has to
spend MP or HP as compensation. The amount of MP or
HP to be paid is indicated in the result table of each
divination (i.e., the same divination will cost differently
depending on the result of the divination check).
If an MP cost is stated, the diviner loses that amount of
MP. In this case, they may use a familiar or "Mako Stones"
to compensate for some or all of the MP loss. Of course,
only one Mako Stone can be used in single divination, and
if the diviner does not have enough MP to pay the stated
cost (i.e., if the character has no MP or if the character's
MP has been reduced to 0 and it is still not enough), the
shortage must be paid for with HP. However, you cannot
use HP as a substitute if you have enough MP.
If the compensation is HP, the diviner's HP will be
reduced; it can go from zero to negative. Likewise. If an
HP cost is stated, the Diviner loses that amount of HP.
Naturally, a Diviner's HP can go below zero from this, so

The Tactician's teachings developed once again during

the early to mid-Magitech Civilization Period. In the
Magitech Civilization Al Menas, emphasis was on
individuality, collectivization, and equality, the art of
commanding a large group of soldiers was also of great
interest.
Stratagems were born during the Magitech Civilization
Period. In the early days of the Magitech Civilization
Period, when communication technology was still in its
infancy, research was conducted on how to distribute
commands throughout the battlefield, and the
development of Strategist Insignia was a major turning
point.
The effect of the stratagems, which amplifies the voice of
the tactician through mana and steadily delivers the
command to the allies, was revolutionary, and history tells
us that it was especially important in the states around the
Razeldawn Continent.
Today, the manufacturing process for Strategist Insignia
is lost and no new ones are being made. However, as with
magitech's magispheres, there is a large number of them in
circulation, and they can be obtained for a relatively low
price.
Another characteristic of this class is that it has not been
widely used by barbarous because it is based on
cooperation and coordination with other classes.
Therefore, it is fair to say that stratagems are now used
almost exclusively by humanoids (except Fomors, see p.

existed for quite a long time, but there are no records of its
existence because there is no reliable source or book of
secrets left.
Mystics' abilities are also largely a matter of
predisposition and are not often acquired through training.
Therefore, people who have visions of the future emerge
suddenly on pages of history, and sometimes they become
rulers or assistants of such rulers.
Since ancient times, Mystics skills were thought to be
abilities that were more likely to manifest themselves in
more primitive environments. In fact, Mystics were often
found among tribesmen who roamed the world and were
often passed down through bloodlines.
However, during the Magitech Civilization Period, when
people were eager to establish the know-how and make it
available to everyone, Mystics were also studied to some
extent. As a result, relatively efficient divination tools were
created, and these techniques are still being used today.
But no matter how good the divination tools are, the
talent of the diviner is still the key to the future, and the
tendency to value pedigree over expertise has not changed.

Talent, rather than skill, is the key to Mystics' abilities.

It is believed that the Warlocks first appeared in the mid-

to late-Magic Civilization Period.
In a time when powerful wizard-kings were fighting for
supremacy, one wizard-king discovered the existence of
another world in his pursuit of how to destroy the rival
wizard-kings and their legions. There, unknown to the
world of Raxia, lived the daemons.
Moreover, even the lowest tier of beings, one Lesser
Daemons was comparable to a group of soldiers. The
higher-level Greater Daemons were comparable in power
to those of wizard-kings.
Research on the Summoning Arts, which were valued as
powerful magic that was easy to use, proceeded rapidly.
Once deployed in warfare, daemonic high fighting power
and ferocious nature were both threatening and terrifying,
even to the wizard-kings of the time.
The wizard-kings of the time once they saw the existence
of daemons, found the other world and quickly devised
their own methods of summoning them.
There are documents that show that during the late
period of ancient magical civilization, a considerable
number of daemons were mass-summoned as disposable

The power of daemons defeated many wizard-kings, and
each time the techniques and knowledge were improved,

Description
Deathspores are clumps of fungal spores, about 60 cm
in diameter, carried by the wind and suspended in the air.
As the name implies, they are very poisonous and can
kill an ordinary human being instantly. They try to poison
and kill living creatures by approaching them to use them
as a nursery for reproduction. Usually, it kills the creature
by repeated physical contact with its body, and then
attaches itself to the creature's body and takes roots.

details.
Combat Procedure Chart

The revised combat rules include three rulesets:

Simplified Combat, Standard Combat, and Advanced
Combat. Simplified combat is designed to ease combat by
largely eliminating rules related to movement and distance.
GMs and players with limited experience with SW2.0
should first use these rules to learn the basic procedures
and rules of combat. Alternatively, Simplified Combat can
be used for groups who are less concerned with combat
and more concerned with solving puzzles, role-playing,
and story.
Standard Combat adds movement and distance to
Simplified Combat, which increases difficulty, but allows
for more rational and tactical play. If you have mastered
Simplified Combat well enough, try playing using Standard
Combat.
Advanced Combat goes a step further, allowing much
greater freedom in character positioning and is highly
tactical. It is intended for those who have already mastered
Standard Combat and want to expand their combat even
more.

Areas of Simplified Combat characters will have to have a contested roll to determine
initiative.

Once this is all figured out, the faction with initiative
chooses which characters are on the Frontline, and which
are Rearguards, followed by the camp who lost initiative.
If characters are divided between the Frontline and
Rearguard, at least half (rounded up) must be in the
Frontline (though it is a possible tactic to have everyone
begin in the Frontline as well). Second faction must put at
least 1 character in the Frontline. It is also an option to
keep everyone in the Allies' Rearguard, but when the
opposing faction places anyone in the Frontline the entire

be performed on those targets in the same area as the

the Frontline cannot make a melee attack on an enemy in

of whether you're dealing with allies or enemies.

addition, if the range is 20m or more, it's possible to target
characters in the Enemies' Rearguard from the Allies'

is needed.
Under Simplified Combat rules, if the attack has a range
lower than 10m, it cannot be used to attack adjacent areas.

check. If the Accuracy check is higher, then the attacker is
successful and the attack hits. However, if the Evasion

wins, and the attack misses.
Weapon attacks are classified as follows:
WEAPON ATTACK CHART
Weapon Attack Classification

A character requires levels in Fighter, Grappler or

Fencer in order to attack with melee weapons with any sort
of proficiency. A melee attack is a Major Action, available
if a character has not taken a Full Move. Characters
making melee attacks may only target characters within the
same area.

Attacks with range are collectively called ranged attacks,

with range determining which targets are available to
attack.
When a character outside an area takes a shot at a
character in an area, if they do not have the Combat Feat
[Precise Shot], they will stray.

SHOOTING WEAPONS
Shooting weapons, such as bows, crossbows, and guns
each require their own specific ammunition in order to
function in combat. Marksmen are the only class that gain
proficiency with these weapons, so a character wishing to
be more of a ranged combatant should look at that class.
In order to shoot in combat, a character must take a STANDARD VALUES FOR ACCURACY
Limited Move in order to fire accurately on their target. To figure out a standard value for Accuracy, the type of
attack being performed will influence which classes can
add their bonus to the roll. Specifically:

DAMAGE DETERMINATION CHART

Power is a measure of how destructive a weapon is and

gives a relative idea about the strength of the weapon. Each
weapon has its own Power, which is listed in the form of a
table.
It's fairly simple to use these tables, just roll 2d and take
the corresponding result. For example, on the following 20
Power Table, a roll of [5] would mean the result is a [3].
There's also the possibility of Criticals, which will be

Each type of magic that actually deals damage does also
have its own power table, though said power tables are only
multiples of 10. Because they're so simple, they've already
been added to the character sheets, giving a range from 0
to 50.

the height of the battlefield.
Also, even if a character is massive in size, no matter how
large it is relative to other characters, nor how many parts
the character has, it will still only occupy one coordinate.
Multiple parts of a character are treated as having the same
coordinate.

created by a spell or effect with "Range: Touch" is
considered to have the same coordinates as the character
who performed the summoning or creation.
