 The Battle Dancer class is a Warrior-Type class, similar
to the Fighter and the Grappler. It utilizes weapons to defeat
enemies.
Battle Dancers have the ability to wield any melee
weapon up to their Strength score, including Grappler-
specific weapons. However, due to the Battle Dancer's
combat style, which emphasizes light movements
resembling a graceful dance, they can only wear the same
armor as the Grappler class.
Upon reaching the first level of the Battle Dancer class,
you gain one Combat Feat through the "Bonus Active
Combat Feat" class feature. As a result, a newly created
character can learn two Combat Feats, including the
Combat Feat available to first-level adventurers. The Battle
Dancer class encourages players to consider various
combinations of Combat Feats and choose the most
effective tactics based on the situation.

“Lykant Battle Dancer” Character Description

A warrior character who fully utilizes the skills of a Battle
Dancer, fighting at the forefront against enemies. By
acquiring the Combat Feat [Dual Wielding], which allows
them to wield two one-handed weapons, their attack power
becomes extremely high. Additionally, with the feature
"Bonus Active Combat Feat", they have also learned [Aimed
Attack I], which helps counter the accuracy loss from [Dual
Wielding]. They increase their chances of success by
declaring [Aimed Attack I] against higher-level opponents
and making a single attack.
In terms of armor, relying on armor with evasion
bonuses such as a Point Guard to dodge attacks. Their high
Evasion makes it difficult for enemies to hit them. However,
it is important to be cautious of the magic and special
abilities of monsters and always keep their HP at maximum.
For character growth, focusing on [Weapon Proficiency
A/**] and [Armor Proficiency A/Nonmetallic Armor]
directly enhances their combat strength. They can also learn
[Ever-Changing I] to efficiently make two attacks.
Additionally, if they learn [Dual Technique] early on, their
accuracy will remain high. Once familiar with the character,
you can learn a second Active Combat Feat or join a School
that aligns with the character's vision.
To showcase your combat skill, you should forcefully
swing your weapons on the front line and defeat the
enemies!

Combat feats are special abilities that a character

possesses. Even if characters have the same class, their
individuality, and roles will vary greatly depending on what
combat feats they have acquired. So use them wisely.

This art was created approximately 100 years ago by an

Elf named Michal Novak, who, at the time, served as a
combat instructor, by refining and streamlining the
traditional martial arts of the northern region of Korgana.
The technique is known for its ability to neutralize
unnecessary tension and maintain a fluid movement
throughout the body while provoking the enemy's attacks.
The essence of this technique is to step into the enemy’s
reach and bait out attacks, provoking them with flowing
movements.
As someone who protects others from the threat of the
Abyss, a defender’s own life cannot be sacrificed recklessly;
thus, the style's approach became focused on increasing
options for survival while defeating. From such a belief, the
Michal War Spade, originally a makeshift weapon, was
created and has now become an iconic weapon of the style.
Originally a two-handed military shovel used for digging
trenches and filling sandbags. Michal’s method teaches the
use of the war spade to slice through enemies, making it
possible to immediately respond to battlefield threats even
during the construction of fortifications.
Though Michal Style Circular Combat emphasizes
diversity in battle, its weapons are not limited solely to the
War Spade. Its Secrets can be can be used regardless of the
weapon chosen, as the user confounds the enemy with their
flowing movements. Therefore, Fighters, Fencers, and
Battle Dancers often choose to learn this Combat Arts.
The school was originally studied and practiced solely
by the Wall Guardians. However, this outstanding fighting
style quickly became known to the Adventurer’s Guild
headquarters in Korgana.
Rumors then spread throughout the continent via the
Adventurer’s Guild network. Instructors can now be found
in Adventurer’s Guild branches everywhere, with dojos
established alongside them. It is possible to study this school
from all parts of the continent due to its popularity.

This school originated as a martial art that was handed

down amongst the Yadra tribe, a minority group living in
the Kaslot Desert in the western part of the Burlight Region.
The Yadra are large, dark-brown-skinned humans who
reside in the Magical Civilization ruins found within the
Kaslot Desert. It is unclear how long they have resided
there, though a theory a theory suggests that they settled
there during the Magic Civilization Era after escaping the
Wizard-King's persecution.
The Yadra were a tribe of isolationists. They refused to
interact with other races and developed their own martial
arts for self-defense.
The Kaslot Great Sand Fist is a style based on fighting
in a desert environment where footing is unstable. Users
plant their feet firmly on the ground and utilize only their
fists to attack. Unlike standard boxing which focuses on
continuous strikes, the essence of the style is “One Strike,
Absolute Defeat."
Members of the Yadra tribe are rarely seen in person,
as they are primarily active at night when temperatures are
cooler. Only the warriors of the tribe emerge during the day,
practicing their discipline by pounding their fists into the
burning sand - a practice that has made their arms as strong
as steel. This is an occurrence that has caught the eye of a
few people who have traveled through the desert, which led
to legends that speak of "black giants who strike the earth
beyond the desert mirage".
After the Diabolic Triumph, a Nightmare warrior
named Batas sought a means by which to combat
Barbarous. He learned of this legend and set out into the
desert, risking his life to find the hidden village of the Yadra.
At first, the Yadra were wary of Batas, but his dedication to
training with them touched their hearts and he was
eventually initiated into their teachings. Batas slew many
Barbarous and their leaders using the techniques he learned
from the Yadra and his name became known throughout
the continent. Naturally, many people sought out Batas to
become his apprentices and he accepted many of them,
hoping they would aid him in his fight against the
Barbarous.
It is said that the Secrets handed down today are but a
small part of those originally passed down to Batas. Even so,
many continue to practice and hone their skills, as they
serve as valuable tools for the unarmed against Barbarous.
To this day, Batas is rumored to still reside somewhere
in the Kaslot Desert, awaiting a worthy individual to teach
the Yadra’s ultimate technique.

This major martial arts school originated on the ‘Grand

Stage’ of the Makajahat Kingdom in the midwest of the
Burlight Region. It differs significantly from other schools
in that its origins lay in entertainment (that is to say,
spectacle), not combat.
The Makajahat Kingdom is a land where a variety of arts
are practiced, including drama, dance, and acrobatics.
Makajahat Pro Grappling began as a form of full-contact
martial art competition in which the divine sagas and epics
of the past were played out on a stage designed to resemble
an arena (or sometimes even within an arena itself!)
The performance, however, is not merely an act but a
violent collision between two bodies, an entanglement of
fiercely honed skill and technique. Appearing at first glance
to be a serious competition, these plays grew to a frenzied
popularity that drew in not only the discerning Makajahati
people to attend but also visitors from neighboring
countries.
Though initially intended as a reproduction of heroic
tales, the individual performers eventually grew in
popularity, and the style became more focused on serious
competition than narrative. From this time on, the tradition
developed around the use of submission holds and choking
techniques, which were more common than the so called
'leaping and flying' techniques.
Now, only 50 years after the first public performance,
this peculiar ‘captivating martial art’ has become popular
amongst adventurers, and many have gone out of their way
to study it. This popularity may be due in part to the fact
that prominent performers have become successful
adventurers themselves, as well as the need for adventurers
to flamboyantly display their abilities to appeal to well-
paying clients and sponsors.
Although some people have criticized it, claiming "that
style of martial art is just for show," the techniques of
Makajahat Pro Grappling have been studied, improved, and
refined to make them capable of being applied in actual
combat situations during adventures. Even the top
performers, who attract the biggest ticket clients and largest
crowds, continue to train hard and participate in serious
combats on a daily basis. As a result, they have developed
surprisingly tough bodies. In truth, this school and its
disciples are more than strong enough.
It is said that the sight of Makajahat Pro Grappling
practitioners fighting to save villages and caravans attacked
by the Barbarous inspires and encourages those who have
suffered from these raids. As a result, the martial art is not
only seen as a means to defeat foes but also as a way to
rescue the hearts of the people. It has become extremely
popular among some adventurers.

Summary No damage, target Evasion, and Defense -2
This Secret must be used in a situation where the Secret user can use the ‘Throw’ action, but the Secret itself is not a throw. Weapons and
Accessories that enhance Throws still grant Accuracy bonus. However, since the Secret is a non-damaging attack, any change in Power is
considered irrelevant.
This Secret has Target: 1 Character as its effect, regardless of whether or not the Secret user has mastered [Improved Throw] or not. A multi-
Effect section character can be targeted as if it were a single character regardless of the number of sections it possesses.
With this Secret, the user leaps at the opponent, entangling and binding its entire body. This prevents movement and exposes weak points
in the target’s defenses. If the attack is successful, no damage is inflicted, but for 1 round (10 seconds) until the beginning of the Secret user’s
next turn, both the target’s Evasion and Defense receive a -2 penalty (minimum 0). Success with this attack does not grant an additional kick
attack via [Stomp], as another Secret exists within the school that is dedicated to granting an additional attack in tandem with this Secret.

Effect The user moves normally, and immediately after moving 1 area (Simple Combat) or 10m or more (Standard or Advanced Combat), the user
may attack up to two targets with a ‘Punch’. This attack does not trigger the [Chain Attack] feat.
After this, Major Actions can be performed normally.

This fighting style originated in the Principality of

Narzaland, a nation that once existed in the northeastern
part of the continent of Alframe, in the Zamsaska region.
Narzaland was among the territories of the north to
stand against the Abyss and the threat it posed. Within it,
fighting techniques that emphasized defense were studied
and refined, leading to the creation of the Narzaland
Flexible Shield Style.
The style is structured entirely around the usage of a
shield, with parrying, intercepting, and shoving forming the
basis of its combat techniques. The user never drops their
guard, always using their shield to intercept blows and
disrupt the opponent’s posture. This allows the user to
launch a powerful counterattack against an opponent who
has neglected their own defense.
The warriors of Narzaland were said to be divided into
three divisions: The first, the Great Shield Wall Corps, bore
large shields and well-balanced armor that did not limit their
agility. The second (Small Shield Ambush Corps) equipped
small shields/bucklers and light armor and used their speed
to launch quick counterattacks. The third and final unit
(The Heavy Armor Destruction Corps) would then follow
up and pulverize the enemies already unbalanced and
caught off guard by the other two divisions.
The Narzaland Flexible Shield style exists as an
amalgamation of the fighting styles of these three units.
Despite their formidable defense, the Principality of
Narzaland’s army was obliterated in battle during the
Diabolic Triumph after a large horde of Daemons breached
the Wall of the Abyss. However, their efforts played a large
role in reducing the spread of the damage by fortifying the
area to the south of the Zamsaska region.
Because of its specialization in coordinating with others,
this school has become popular amongst adventurers,
initially spreading throughout the eastern region of the
Alframe continent. Nowadays, users can be found
throughout the continent, even in the far west. As a result, it
is not difficult to find instruction for this school in most
major cities.

Use - Appl. 10 seconds (1 round) Risk None
Summary Successful evasion against a melee attack penalizes the attacker’s Evasion by -1 / -2
This Secret can only be declared while holding a shield with the Flex Grip enhancement.
Holding the shield in front of them and meeting the opponent’s strike with a forceful sweeping motion, the user attempts to disrupt the
enemy's stance and push them off balance.
If the Secret user is the subject of a melee attack during the Secret’s active time, the result of the Evasion check affects the attacker. This only
occurs on the first melee attack received by the Secret user and does not apply to any additional attacks.
Effect If the Success Value of the Secret User’s Evasion check is equal to or greater than the Attacker’s roll, the attack not only fails, but the attacker
is forced off balance, and the attacker receives a penalty to their Evasion check until their next turn. This is normally a -1 penalty, but should the
Success Value of the Evasion check be 4 or greater than the attacker’s Accuracy Check, the penalty to the attacker’s Evasion becomes -2.
If the attacker’s Accuracy Check is higher than the user’s Evasion Check, the Attacker suffers no ill effects.
Even if a character can make multiple declarations on one turn, they cannot declare this Secret more than once. In addition, the Secret [Stop

Summary If the user suffers damage less than Fortitude, the attacker suffers -1 to Evasion (-2)
This Secret can only be declared while holding a shield with the Flex Grip enhancement.
The Secret user holds their shield in front of themselves to deflect the attacker’s strike and then shoves, disorienting the attacker and pushing
them off balance.
[Stop & Stagger] triggers when the user is targeted by a melee attack and makes an Evasion check against it, or when the user suffers damage
from a melee attack through the use of the [Cover] feat or a Secret of the same type. Its effect then occurs when the user takes either physical or
magical damage from a melee attack.
This effect only occurs on the first instance of the user taking melee damage, even if they were to take additional melee attacks.
Effect
If the amount of damage received by the user is equal to or less than their own Fortitude (Adventurer Level + Vitality modifier), the attacker
is thrown off balance and receives a -1 penalty to their Evasion Checks until their next turn. If the applied damage received by the user is 0, the
attacker’s Evasion Check penalty is -2.
If the damage received by the Secret user is greater than their Fortitude, or the user is successful in their Evasion Check, this Secret’s effects
do not trigger.
Even if a character can make multiple Declarations on one turn, they cannot declare this Secret more than once. In addition, the Secret [Parry

The Alster Strongshot Style is a School that is found

primarily in the Randar Region, though it has spread to as
far away as Dorden. It originated as a fighting method used
by a mercenary group known as the Alster Strongshot
Corps, who operated within the Randar region – A war-torn
land where Barbarous tribes dominated and small nations
defended their territory. The Alster Strongshot Corps
roamed this land of ceaseless conflict, searching for well-
paying employers.
To this day, the origin of the Alster Strongshot Corps
name remains unclear. Made up of criminals, the
impoverished, and members of discriminated-against tribes
who had been rejected by all nations, the Corps was a ragtag
and destitute group. For that reason, despite being called a
mercenary company, much of their equipment was
makeshift and improvised, and they were ultimately little
more than a group of paupers who risked their lives for
minimal reward.
Nevertheless, they figured out how to survive on their
own, devising a fighting method that allowed them to inflict
damage upon their enemies with long-distance attacks
before their foes could approach, thereby granting the
Corps a greater chance of surviving combat.
Because the Alster Strongshot Corps lacked resources,
they first began by throwing the largest rocks available as far
as possible at their enemies. However, because the Corps
comprised many physically weak individuals, a unique
throwing method of rotating the body and utilizing the
centrifugal force of that movement was born.
At first, the sight of the entire Corps on the battlefield
suddenly spinning in unison was met with strange looks and
even ridicule. Not long after, however, many soldiers and
Barbarous learned otherwise, standing dumbfounded as
they perished beneath the rain of heavy stones that fell upon
them.
By defeating enemy soldiers and capturing their
equipment, the Alster Strongshot Corps were able to further
increase their strength. In doing so, emphasis was placed
on securing and utilizing projectile and shooting weapons.
Of course, many of the stolen weapons were beyond their
newfound wielders' ability, so they devised a brute-force way
to use them. This fighting style was extremely heavy-handed
and overbearing, but they nevertheless managed to acquire
a level of combat ability and firepower that was unexpected
for such a group of have-nots.
Thus did the Alster Strongshot Corps come to possess
its superior offensive power, and detachments were
recruited not only in Randar but wherever there was
fighting, as far afield as Dorden.
The Corps' projectile weapon technique became widely
known and passed on to adventurers who fought Barbarous.
While the Alster Strongshot Style is most effective in
groups, skilled adventurers have shown great combat
effectiveness using it individually. Some have developed
further Secrets for group battles, developing the style
through creativity and ingenuity.

This school originated in the Harshika Commercial

Union, located in the northern part of the Randar region.
The Harshika Commercial Union stands as a key point
of trade linking the east and west regions of the Alframe
Continent, through which individuals of all races and
occupations pass through. In such a place where both
wealth and people were found in abundance, it was
inevitable that no choice existed but for the Commercial
Union to establish a military force to protect its
independence and autonomy.
In order to deal with a variety of opponents and
incidents as a small group of elites, The Harshika
Commercial Union, which places great emphasis on the use
of mage-warriors and warrior priests, formed a special unit
– The Harshika Magic Soldiers.
The Hiadem Magical Flow Manipulation school itself is
a method devised by Jacqueline Hiadem, a female Dwarf
instructor and magical researcher responsible for training
the unit.
The school’s focus is placed on utilizing magic in
conjunction with weapon-based melee strikes, with research
being focused on both taking advantage of attack
opportunities and the efficient use of mana.
Mastery of the [Multi-Action] Combat Feat serves as the
minimum requirement to join the Harshika Mage Soldiers,
and this serves as a guarantor of the high level of skill
present in the unit. On top of this, those recognized as
possessing a battle talent are introduced to further Secrets
that will allow them to fight more effectively.
Hiadem, a strongly commercially minded Harshikan,
boldly set about formally opening a school and spreading it
throughout the land. It has since gained popularity among
magic warriors and paladins as a school that guarantees
results if mastered, and before long, dojos could be found
throughout the continent.
Even in her old age (although, being a dwarf, it is difficult
to tell exactly how old she is), Hiadem is said to still be
traveling the continent, building new dojos.

Summary Cast spell on multiple targets. Standard MP consumption -1
This Secret allows the user to multiply the number of targets on any spell with a “Target: 1 Character”, similar to [Metamagic/Targets]. At
the time of use, the MP consumption of the spell is first reduced by -1, and the doubling calculation is performed afterward. This MP reduction
is cumulative with other effects provided by other Combat Feats.

It is also possible to declare ‘multiplying by x1’ and receive the MP reduction while still only affecting a single target. For this Secret to function,

Summary Utilize magic in a delayed form
A caster who has mastered this Secret can choose to delay the activation of any spell whose “Target: 1 Character (including 1 Entire
Character)”. The length of the delay can be chosen in 10 second (1 round) increments, up to a maximum of one hour. In order for this Secret
to function, the target must have Rosellini’s Magic Mark placed on their body or on their equipment. Any spell affected by this Secret is changed
to “Resistance: Optional”. The spell is automatically activated when the delay time limit set by the caster is reached, triggering the spell’s effect.
However, it is also possible for the spell’s target to trigger its effect (thereby ending the delay) by using a Minor Action or during Combat
Effect Preparation.
Only one spell per target can be delayed by the use of this Secret. If another delayed-effect spell is used on the target, the first usage will be
canceled without taking effect.
If the user of this Secret possesses the [Metamagic/Time] or [Universal Metamagic] feats, it is possible to multiply the limit of the delay effect
by multiplying the MP consumption in a similar fashion to these feats. However, the delay effect cannot be extended to last beyond 6 AM of the
following day.

The effects of the spells cast by this Secret, regardless of the type of resistance, however – only those bearing Rosellini’s Magic Mark upon
their bodies or equipment benefit from its effect. Others within the expanded area who do not possess the Magic Mark will not be affected.

 Initiation Requirements: 50 Reputation

The creator of this unique school is believed to be a

court magician from Dikehorn, a small country in the
rugged Diggad Mountain range of the Burlight Region.
Due to its high altitude, game is scarce, and farming is
difficult in Dikehorn. However, the area is rich in rare
manatite ore and high-quality mako stones, which have
attracted frequent raids by Barbarous. Shallow Abysses also
appear frequently in the region, so the people of Dikehorn
have developed their fighting techniques to cope with these
challenges.
However, due to the country’s sparse population and
impoverished nature, a drastic change in its situation is
unlikely, and the country often finds itself on the defensive
against attacks from Barbarous and Daemon alike.
And so, out of these harsh natural conditions and
circumstances, this school of magic arose.
The founder of the school, Thistle Sen Noto, was a long-
lived Meria who was born a talented Fairy Tamer. In order
to further develop her talent, she studied at the magic
academy of the Eusiz Magic Principality. There, she not
only mastered Fairy Magic, her specialty, but also
Spiritualism magic, graduating with excellent grades.
Moreover, she devised a new way of using magic to protect
her hometown and brought it back with her.
The special magic that she devised was aimed at fusing
both Spiritualism magic and Fairy Magic. Cleverly
combining these two magic systems, which in the past had
rarely intersected, and perhaps aided by the strength of the
long-lived Meria’s patience, Cecille’s magic was perfected
into something that would cause her opponents great
suffering should she go on the defensive.
Thereafter, the King of Dikehorn treated
Cecille/Thistle as a court magician and actively made use of
her magic for national defense.
The icy zones she could call forth strengthened the
people of Dikehorn, who grew up in a cold and severe
environment and literally chilled the hearts of the enemies
who attacked them. The longer the battles raged, the more
those enemies suffered, and those who witnessed the
spectacle of the magic did not attempt to invade again.
Some of Cecille's magic was passed on to the Magic
Principality of Eusiz and then spread to other parts of the
continent. The magic seen in various places is the form
passed on through Eusiz.
In recent years, the school’s founder, Thistle, passed
away and became a Sakhalin fir tree in front of Eusiz’s royal
palace. She continues to protect her country and watch over
her disciples. During midwinter, ice fairies create frost-
covered trees that resemble Thistle's original form.

This School is known for its boldness. Instead of using
the blade side of a sword, which is typically used for slashing,
it utilizes the hilt side to strike.
This unconventional approach results in bludgeoning
damage and allows you to adapt your fighting style according
to your opponent.
However, since you are holding the blade side, there is
a risk of injuring yourself. This risk can be reduced by
equipping the "Wald Gauntlet," an item specific to this
School. However, using this item may limit the use of your
"right/left hand" for other equipment.
The basic Feats of this School are [Power Strike] and
[Lethal Strike]. Additionally, the risk of reducing the
Evasion check is eliminated, making it a great choice for
Battle Dancers seeking high damage. Fighters who learn this
School will also not be disappointed.

The Basic Feats for a paladin who serves as the shield

are ideal for a paladin fulfilling this role. The durability of
these shields will provide peace of mind to your friends and

requirement also applies if a player who manages the

I/II/III], [Power Strike I/II], [Taunting Strike I/II], [Lethal Strike I/II/III], and [Mana Strike].
This Secret can only be declared when the left and right hand perform melee attacks through the effect of [Dual Wielding]. When declaring
this Secret, the Secret user chooses 2 different Active Combat Feats that they have already mastered.
The weapon in the left and right hand both apply one Combat Feat unique from the other hand. Which weapon receives which Combat Feat
must be declared before making Accuracy checks and the declaration must satisfy the “Use” condition of each Combat Feat.
Effect
If the Combat Feats have risks, they are cumulative.
The GM may rule that Secrets from other Schools that are linked to the above Combat Feats may be declared with this Secret. However, it
is recommended to not allow special Feats whose "Application" have been changed from the Basic Feat or have an effect significantly different
from the Basic Feat.

Effect

After using this Secret, the user is able to perform the same check as the Combat Feat [Counter] (see p. 40) for 10 seconds (1 round) when
the Secret user is attacked by a melee attack, performing an Accuracy check for each weapon in their hand.
If the user’s two Accuracy checks exceed the Success Value of the opponent’s Accuracy check, the user can make a damage check for both
weapons and the opponent’s attack is treated as a failure.
If the user’s Accuracy check exceed the Success Value of the opponent’s Accuracy check only once, the damage is determined only for the
Effect weapon that exceeded the Success Valued and applied to the opponent. At the same time, the opponent's attack is considered to hit, and the
Secret user also suffers the normally determined damage.
If user’s two Accuracy checks do not exceed the Success Value of the opponent’s Accuracy check, as in the case of failure in [Counter], the
opponent's attack is a hit, and the first 2d roll of the damage decision will be an automatic "12" with Secret user receiving the damage.
This Secret can only be used per turn even if the user can make multiple Major Actions. Furthermore, the user cannot declare unique skills
or Secret of a declared type, such as "Appl.: 1 melee attack", in conjunction with this Secret.

one character (section) at whom the first is thrown. The target being thrown can choose which of the three sections will make the Evasion check.
Damage is determined separately for the character being thrown and the secondary target. The thrown character will be knocked Prone, while

By declaring this Secret until the start of their next turn, the user is able to attempt the use of [Counter] with [Throw] against attacks from
multi-section characters. The maximum number of sections that can be targeted is limited by the Secret user’s level of [Improved Throw] (2
sections for I, 3 for II).
At the time of the attack, the Secret user performs an Accuracy check using [Throw]. If successful, the attack knocks the opponent prone and
deals damage to each section. The opponent may not get up from prone until the start of the next turn.
Just as with [Counter], the user may choose to take this action after learning the Success Value of the opponent’s Accuracy Check. Thus, if a
character with two Sections attacks twice, it is possible to make a normal Evasion Check against the first one and use [Throw] against the second

attack.
If this Secret [Counter] fails and the target has the capability to execute melee attacks and is at 1 HP or more (Or acting under the effects of

user forfeited the [Counter] against the original attack and then also failed the Evasion Check, they receive damage from both the failed Evasion
and the failed [Counter].
Even after declaring the use of this Secret, the user may still use the [Counter] feat normally. However, once they have made a counterattack,
they cannot use [Counter] again in any form until their next turn.

applied simultaneously. In case of conflict, "Rank Effects"
take priority (there are no longer cases where only non-rank

 The exact origins of the Battle Dancer class are
unknown. However, it is believed to have primarily
developed among nomadic and mounted peoples in the
southeastern part of the Alframe Continent.
The regions inhabited by these peoples had slow-
developing civilizations, with high temperatures and lakes
that limited the opportunity for elaborate and refined
armor. In contrast, they excelled in techniques such as
weapon making, iron making, and smelting. Consequently,
the emphasis was placed on "avoiding being struck by
blades," leading to the development of a body art resembling
dancing.
Due to its unique fighting style, mastering the Battle
Dancer class is considered more challenging than other
warrior classes. Additionally, their vulnerability means that
a single blow can be fatal. As a result, there are few
individuals who actively choose to become Battle Dancers,
making them rare sightings even among adventurers.
However, those Battle Dancers who attain a high level
of combat proficiency are generally well-trained and
exceptional adventurers. Some choose not to register with
the Adventurers' Guild and instead become itinerant
entertainers or bouncers, wandering the country as
Vagrants.

and eliminates them. School, the possibilities are truly endless.
However, while there are many accomplished masters
in the Fighter class who have established themselves in
society as knights, soldiers, heroes, or military figures, the
presence of Battle Dancer class masters in society is
relatively small.
Firstly, their existence is not well-known, but it is also
due to the misconception that their fluid movements are
merely techniques of traveling entertainers, which is not the
case.
Therefore, although they are respected and trusted as a
"valuable fighting force against the enemy," it may be
challenging for them to attain what is referred to as a social
standing. However, not all Battle Dancers have achieved
significant feats in the past, and depending on their
accomplishments, it is not impossible for them to gain
substantial social respect.

The Battle Dancer role is primarily focused on the

frontline.
They are expected to be attackers due to their superior
offensive ability and their proficiency in using various
Combat Feats.
Battle Dancers have limitations when it comes to armor
and cannot equip shields. They typically wield either a large
two-handed weapon or learn Dual Wielding to use two one-
handed weapons simultaneously. As a result, their attack
power tends to be higher overall.
Their Defense is extremely low. However, they often
possess excellent evasive capabilities, allowing them to
function as tanks against enemies.
Their armor limitations also make them compatible
with Scout and Ranger classes. The Scout class's [Fast
Action] Combat Feat, automatically acquired at the 7th
level, complements the Battle Dancer's high offensive
power. The Ranger class's [Indomitable] Combat Feat,
acquired at the 7th level, is also beneficial for Battle Dancers
with low Defense, allowing them to remain active even when
their HP is in the negative.
Likewise, Battle Dancers can be formidable magic
warriors when paired with Wizard-Type Classes that have
armor restrictions. This is especially true when combined
with Sorcerer, Conjurer, and Warlock classes (see ML, p.
28), which have severe limitations.

As is the case with Warrior-Type Classes, Battle Dancer

is not suitable as a secondary class at a low level. Therefore,
it is necessary to maintain the same level as the main class.
As mentioned earlier, due to armor limitations, Battle

Description
Created as the leader of High Goblins (see p. 107), she is almost always
followed by another species of High Goblin, especially High Goblin
Fanatics (see p. 114).
Although she is stunningly beautiful and pretty, she is no different
from other High Goblins with her pale skin, huge red eyes, and the Anti-
Magic Enchantment that covers her entire body. Although she is not a
powerful fighter, she can make High Goblins go crazy with her body and
can emit an aroma that heals wounds. This strengthens the High Goblins
around her and protects her, thus ensuring her own safety. They also have
the ability to regenerate her own strength by being bathed in the blood of
those who have been offered to her.
They are arrogant, selfish, brutal, and cunning. However, it is said that
she instinctively feels strong affection for the strong Drakes (see CR I, p.
408 or ML, p. 83) and is willing to obey their commands. For this purpose,
she will expend the lives of any number of High Goblins under her
command.

spirit to manipulate other objects to affect the living world.
Common Poltergeist cores (Main Section) include various pieces of
jewelry, favored items of the original owner, or other innocuous mementos,
such as toys and dolls. The commonality of these objects facilitates the
Poltergeist's ability to hide its core among other objects it manipulates.

other objects, so it becomes apparent where the core is when combat

Description
This Daemon has long arms. It has a burly body, large horns on its head.
They are as tall as 5 meters, and their arms are as thick and sturdy as logs.
Bugaradre's poisons, which are released from his shoulders, have the
power to destroy anything and everything. Almost anything except stone
and metal will melt away and turn into a swamp. This swamp will have the
same poisonous gas as Bugaradre itself.
Bugaradre feels compelled to expand the swamp, moving about it and
corrupting its surroundings. One unchecked Bugaradre can destroy a
nation.
Once a swamp has been created, it can only be patiently purified with
[Cure Poison] or [Purification], or it will recover naturally in decades or
centuries.

were spotted in the wilderness outside the city. The
abductors were not residents of the Ward but henchmen of
the Androscorpions.
The leader, a Mortar Scorpion, contacted the human-
run Ruins Guild and offered to cooperate in the abduction
in exchange for valuable magical parts. People were
shocked to discover the Androscorpions, who previously
did not show any signs of emotion, were capable of such a
negotiation.
After rounding up the villains in the Ruins Guild and
following the trail of the Androscorpions, the adventurers
finally discovered the underground ruins of the Magitech
Civilization in which they were hiding, and a fierce battle
ensued, resulting in the Mortar Scorpion’s defeat.
In the aftermath of the battle, it was discovered that a
dormant Magitech Colossus lay within these ruins and that
the captured researchers, over a dozen in number, had been
forced to attempt to rebuild it. Had this goal been
accomplished, there is no doubt the resurrected Magitech

living virtually everywhere, from snowy mountains to deserts
to floating rock formations and underground labyrinths.
The fluids exuded from their bodies remain at an

keep them useful in most environments.
However, the Polished are generally lazy. Even though
they exhibit a high level of adaptability, they are motivated
only to pursue the objects they desire, and their goal is to
obtain them as easily as possible.
As a result, they commonly make their home near urban
areas, trade routes, or ruins where treasured Polished can
be hidden. Though the Polished are lazy by nature, they are
proactive in obtaining their chosen ornaments and will often
invade the mansions of innocent wealthy individuals,
massacre the inhabitants, and make a home there for
themselves.

However, subordinates who believe the Philadelphus to be

birth, and as they grow to adulthood, they inevitably become

Wolves, however, were aware that they possessed superior
numbers. Instead of aggressively confronting the smaller
number of stronger adventurers, they created a diversion to
lure them out and then used the opportunity to attack other
villages and towns. After this, the adventurers and the
Rampage Wolves became locked in a battle of wits, with the
adventurers finally succeeding in capturing the female mate
of the pack leader, Rampage Wolf, and then using her as a
decoy to lure out and defeat him in a direct confrontation.
Afterward, the pack, lacking in leadership, was easily

The Great Silverback has a unique fighting style. It

approaches forests with sturdy branches, leading a herd
hanging from the branches to surprise enemies on the
ground. However, it avoids fighting in grasslands or areas
without anything to hang on to. If it encounters enemies in
such areas, it tries to lure them into its advantageous field.
In areas with many branches, the Great Silverback fights
by moving from branch to branch and throwing rocks at its
opponents. When accompanied by friends, it employs
various tactics. For example, it may fiercely jump down
from a hanging position, attacking with earth and sand
scattered by hitting the ground. It can also uplift its friends
by drumming after landing on the ground.
Forest Kongs uplifted by the Great Silverback's
drumming pose a significant threat, so it is advisable to target
the Great Silverbacks first. In particular, if they repeatedly
throw rocks toward the rear guard, attackers may lose rear
support and struggle to maintain the front line.
However, it is important to note that the Great
Silverbacks are generally peaceful and can even be

Arena Rules Procedure

Various Ways to Play

These rules can be played by a single player, or by
multiple players. The GM can be present or absent.

Play Solo
These rules can be played solo. The player must handle
events and understand the rules of the arena combat, and
the player must also control the enemy in combat. The
player decides monster actions according to "Guidelines for
Monsters" (see p. 182), and if necessary, the player rolls all
the dice to determine the outcome of the game.

Without a GM, Multiple Players

When playing with multiple players, you may choose to
have a GM or not. In the case of playing without a GM, a
representative of each player decides on random tables or
events according to the rules. The representative may be a
single player or may rotate between tables and events. The
enemy's movement in combat is determined by the
"Guidelines for Monsters" (see p. 182), just as in the case of When playing with these rules: Prepare characters as

Supported Levels For These Rules

These rules are designed to support initially created
characters up to 10 adventurer levels. If you are playing with
a GM, you may make your own higher-level tables or decide
them randomly.

Once the character is ready, check for citywide events.

The events in the city are the events that occur between
the time you enter the Arena and the time you play in the
Arena, and the people you meet.
To determine the content of the events, see the section
called "City Events Table" (see p. 189) and roll the dice to
determine the content of the event.
Depending on the event, there may be changes in
"Opponents", "Battlefield Regulations", etc. afterwards.

In the "rearguard area" and the "enemy rearguard area",
there are levers to pour a large amount of water into the
"frontline area" from the water supply ports on the sides of
the hemisphere.
In this battlefield, the "frontline area" is either "filled with
water" or "without water". At the beginning of the battle, the
"frontline area" is filled with water.
In the water, a character standing on the ground receives
a penalty of -2 on the action checks as “Wading in waist-
deep water” (see CR I, p. 97).
If a character is in the "frontline area", any of the
characters can perform a Major Action to "open the drain
by turning the handle". By doing this action, water is
drained, and the area becomes "without water". Conversely,
it can be closed with the same Major action.
If the drainage ditch is closed, water can accumulate in
the "frontline area" by pulling down the lever in the
"rearguard area" or the "enemy rearguard area" with Major
Action. If the drain is open, the lever cannot be activated.
Water is fully accumulated or conversely drained at the
end of the turn of the character who operated the handle or
lever.
Regardless of its classification, if the monster determines
that it is at a disadvantage, it will attempt to open the drain
by opening the handle as often as possible. Whether or not
