 Aeloria, a world ravaged by the scars of forgotten
greatness, serves as the battleground for barbarian tribes
entrenched in ceaseless con/0ict.

The Age of the Savage Blades has descended

upon the world, where tribes, hungry for power, engage
in brutal skirmishes, each clash a visceral dance of
blades and blood.

Warbands, driven by a primal thirst for

dominance, carve their paths through a desolate
landscape, leaving nothing but echoes of savagery in
their wake.

Within this crucible of su2fering, warriors emerge amidst

the relentless clamor of weapons and the anguished
cries of the fallen.

This world, scarred by the ancient reign of titans

and the cataclysmic fall of once-mighty civilizations, now
serves as the macabre stage for barbarian tribes
engaged in relentless warfare.

Aeloria, once adorned with grandeur, now

stands as a grim testament to the unyielding struggle
for supremacy.
You shall embrace the carnage, and you shall
embrace the glory of victory as you march your
Warriors through the depths of hell.

Step into a world of savage butchery, where the bloody

battle67elds carve tales of agony and glory in
the relentless grip of the Age of the Savage Blades.

 ENDLESS BLOODSHED
Aeloria is a savage and unforgiving world. It is a land de67ned by brutal and unending violence, where
peace is but a distant memory, and the relentless rhythm of war echoes around every corner.

When Savage Blades was originally released, it was done so with the intention of being a one-page zine
that would be spread out over time, expanding its rules and lore. It had been hand-written, however
many people couldn’t quite understand it, so an update was produced and while it was successful during
its initial launch, the update helped tremendously.

Time passed, however other ongoing and upcoming projects kept pushing any further material back for
Savage Blades, although it had been developed, hence, the desire to produce this update came to be and
is now available to all of you. Like my other title HIVES, Savage Blades collects everything originally
intended for its release.

Savage Blades was a fun little project that garnered so much love and interest, and thus, it has become a
massive labor of love, and I am so grateful and proud to be able to present to you, the very book you
hold in your hands: Savage Blades. So much work has gone into bringing you the world of Aeloria,
making the world a bustling, savage, and active universe.

There is enough information in this book to keep you busy with campaigns, or wherever you want to
take this setting. Some have mentioned using the setting for their own role playing games, and that has
blown my mind. I couldn’t be more appreciative.

This book is split into two parts; one focuses on the world of Aeloria, bringing to life all of the things
that make it the world it is, the other focuses on the game, with the original rules, as well as a multitude
of additions, like solitaire rules, campaign rules, a complete bestiary and so much more.

I, Neuicon, would like to thank you for your support of Savage Blades and all my other work. I cannot
express enough just how much you all mean to me. I do hope you enjoy this latest, and 67nal version of
Savage Blades. It has been an absolute pleasure to create.

Like all my work, Savage Blades serves itself unto you as a foundation that you can easily build upon.
Use these rules to create the kind of game you want to play.

Aeloria is unforgiving. Remember that. Aeloria is a vast and expansive world, with a rich history and
provides enough for you to sift through and immerse yourself in. So much work has gone into the
creation and development of Aeloria, and I hope that you get as much enjoyment out of it, journeying
throughout the world.

Alas, the time has come, Warriors.

Now, grab your dice and prepare for war. Aeloria awaits.

 SAVAGE BLADES

Frederik ROSATI (Order #47185625)

 SAVAGE BLADES
Savage Blades is a tabletop miniatures game set in the brutal world of Aeloria, where tribes clash in
skirmish battles, each vying for total domination and the destruction of their enemies. Players control
these tribes and dictate orders, watching the battle unfold before their very eyes. Skirmishes are quick
and brutal, yet the rules themselves allow for simple play, with a focus on tactics. How you utilize your
warriors will determine the outcome of battle.

Savage Blades is incredibly simple, easy to remember and even allows and encourages you to customize
it, shaping it into whatever experience you want it to be.

PREPARING FOR WAR

Before you wage war on the 67elds of Aeloria, you’ll need the following:

L Savage Blades Rulebook / You’ll need these rules to play, however you will 67nd that after a few
games, you’ll rarely need to refer back to these rules.
L Tabletop Miniatures / An important part of playing this game involves the use of tabletop
miniatures. 25-32mm miniatures are recommended, based on round bases.
L Dice / Savage Blades uses six-sided dice, also referred to as D6. When more than one D6 needs
to be rolled, it will look like “XD6”, where X represents the number of dice to be rolled.
L Battle67eld and Terrain / You’ll need a playing area, also known as a “battle67eld”, which should
be between 1 by 1 to 3 by 3 feet in size. Also needed is terrain; this could be anything simple like
cans or boxes but could also be more proper terrain pieces.
L Tape Measure or Ruler / All measurements in Savage Blades are done in inches; you’ll need
either a ruler or a tape measure to measure distances and movement.

With everything gathered, you’re ready to play. Be sure and discuss with your opponent, before a game
begins, if anything needs clari67cation to avoid any confusion.

TABLETOP MINIATURES
Miniatures are an incredibly special part of tabletop wargaming, and you will 67nd that manufacturers
from all over the world produce incredible tabletop miniatures. Savage Blades does not use or force a
speci67c set of miniatures, rather, you’re encouraged to collect, paint, and use your own.

Some people enjoy the unique art of “kit-bashing”. This is when you take multi-part miniatures and cut,
glue and shape them to 67t whatever theme you are trying to accomplish. In Savage Blades, games are
played in a hyborian-style world, where barbarians wage war; keep this in mind when collecting

Frederik ROSATI (Order #47185625)

 miniatures to use in your games. Lastly, painting is an optional, but important to many, step in the
process of collecting miniatures. You can 67nd acrylic paints from all over; make sure YOU enjoy your
work and try not to stress when painting miniatures. What matters is that you like the outcome of your
miniatures.

You can 67nd miniatures, the paints, brushes, and accessories you’ll need from any craft, hobby or general
wargaming stores or websites.

WARGAMING ETIQUETTE
It’s important to remember that while players are trying to achieve victory at all costs in an incredibly
violent and brutal world, it’s just a game. Savage Blades aims to provide both a harsh environment in
which tribes clash, but the overall experience demanded is one of fun and entertainment.

If issues arise during a game, do what you can with your opponent to work things out. Roll a die, discuss
things in a friendly manner and move on. The most important thing about playing any tabletop game is
having fun and enjoying your time in Aeloria.

ORIGINAL RULES AND ADDITIONS

This rulebook contains the original rules for Savage Blades, when it was created as a single page set of
skirmish rules, but also included are several additions to the original rules, as well as additional material
you can choose to add as you wish. Be sure and come to an agreement on any rules you want to add or
remove from the game with your opponent.

Additionally, you can choose to create new rules, adding them to the game. You’re encouraged to add,
remove or enhance anything you think should be done in order to make it the kind of game you and
your opponents want it to be.

However you wish to enjoy Savage Blades, there is no wrong way to do so. These rules are a framework
and should provide you with skirmish battles that are quick, simple, and brutal.

Also included in this edition of the game, are rules for solitaire, or “solo” play. The solitaire rules allow
for a single player to engage in skirmishes on the 67elds of Aeloria. As mentioned with the rules, feel free
to adjust them to 67t your style of play.

You’ll 67nd new additions to this game that will greatly expand on the original material and help provide
you with a variety of ways to enjoy Savage Blades. How you choose to use everything within this book
is entirely up to you, your opponents, and your gaming groups. Savage Blades aims to provide a unique
gaming experience, 67lled with brutal skirmishes and exciting gameplay.

Frederik ROSATI (Order #47185625)

 THE RULES
The time has come, Warriors. Battle has beckoned, and your savage blades are ready. This section focuses
on the core rules of Savage Blades. You will 67nd that once you read through these rules, you will already
have a quick understanding of how the game is played and will probably not need to read them again,
however, you may want to keep them handy for reference purposes.

CREATE YOUR WARBAND AND WARRIORS

The 67rst thing you will need to do is create your Warband and the Warriors that 67ght for you in the
Warband. Name your Warband, create your Warriors, then designate ONE to be your Warlord.

Warrior Attributes

Each Warrior in a Warband has ATTRIBUTES. These attributes set them apart from the other Warriors
in your Warband, and are as follows:

L RS (Ranged Skill) / This determines how well a Warrior is when making attacks against enemies
from a distance.
L MS (Melee Skill) / This determines a Warrior’s ability to handle hand-to-hand combat.
L AS (Arcane Skill) / Some Warriors possess the ability to cast spells in battle; this attribute
determines how powerful they are in doing so.
L AR (Armor) / This determines how tough and resilient a Warrior is to attacks made against them
in the heat of battle.
L HP (Health Points) / This determines a Warrior’s longevity in battle; when this attribute reaches
0 or less, they are considered killed and removed from the battle67eld.

Warrior Creation

Creating Warriors in Savage Blades is simple and uses a point method. When creating a Warrior, use the
following formula:

RSx2 + MSx2 + AS + ARx2 + HP = Total Points

For example, if you create a Warrior that has RS0 , MS4, AS2, AR3, and HP4, the total point value of
the created Warrior would be 20 points.

Creation Maximus

When creating a Warrior, you can never go below 0 in any attribute, or above 6. If players agree, they
can come to terms on the min./max. of the attributes. This can be somewhat /0exible, but it’s
recommended to stick to the Creation Maximus for your 67rst few games.

Frederik ROSATI (Order #47185625)

 PLAYING THE GAME
With your Warbands created, you’re now ready to play the game.

Players should agree on a point value for both Warbands; it is recommended that games played feature
Warbands 60-100 points in size, however you and your opponent can agree on a larger size, in which
case, a larger battle67eld may be a better battle67eld option.

Deployment

Warbands start the game o2f the table; the 67rst time a Warrior is activated, they’re placed within 2 inches
(1 by 1 foot battle67eld), 4 inches (2 by 2 foot battle67eld), or 6 inches (3 by 3 foot battle67eld), of their
own table edge, then they can carry out their activation as normal.

Game Turns and Activations

Both players alternate in activating ONE Warrior in their Warband until four in each Warband have been
activated; when this happens, the turn ends.

Warriors can only be activated once per turn. WARLORDS (assign ONE Warrior in your Warband to be
the Warlord before a game begins) can use a FREE order to allow a friendly Warrior within 8 inches to
activate, even if they already have.

When activated, a Warrior can MOVE up to 4 inches, SHOOT (no maximum range), or CAST SPELL;
a Warrior can do only ONE of these when activated.

Ranged Attacks

To shoot, the attacker must have a line of sight (LOS) to its target; if within this LOS, they are able to
shoot. Roll XD6 where X is the attacker’s RS. Anything 5+ is a HIT. The target rolls XD6 where X is
their AR; each roll of 5+ negates a HIT. The di2ference in HITS and AR rolls are subtracted from the
target’s HP; when their HP reaches 0, they’re killed and removed from the battle67eld.

Cover

When in soft cover, the target of the attacks gets an extra D6 to roll when making an AR roll; in hard
cover, this bonus becomes 2D6 to the AR roll.

Melee Attacks

When a Warrior MOVES into base-to-base contact with an enemy, they 67ght in melee using the method
for ranged attacks, the attacker using MS instead of RS. BOTH SIDES ATTACK, starting with the Warrior
that moved into contact; casualties are removed AFTER both sides have had a chance to attack. The
Warrior who moved into contact rolls an extra D6; attacking a target’s rear grants an extra D6. After the
melee, if both survive, they’re moved away from each otrher 2 inches; if only one Warrior remains, it
can move for FREE up to 3 inches (and can’t end in contact with an enemy).

To cast a Spell, roll 1D6 and add the Warrior’s AS, if the total meets or exceeds 7, it is cast (follow the
rules for spells in the Arcane Debauchery section).

Taking Damage

When a Warrior loses a point from their HP, they MUST also lose one point from either of the following
attributes: RS, MS, or AS. This is chosen by the Warrior’s controlling player. No attribute can be brought
below 1. When healed, it does NOT reestablish lost points from attributes during battle.

Achieving Victory

Games are played with no real attention to a number of turns, and victory comes when a Warband is
completely destroyed. You can also choose to play a scenario, available later in these rules.

SCENARIOS
You can play a game of Savage Blades in its traditional form, or you can play using one of the scenarios
included below. Players can agree on a scenario to play, or they can roll to determine a scenario to play
at random; to do this, both players roll 1D6, adding the totals together:

2D6 Roll Result Scenario

2 Standard Game
3-4 Defend the Warlord
5-6 Sabotage
7-8 Hunt for the Arcane Relic
9-10 Assassination
11-12 Hold them Back

Defend the Warlord (3, 4)

Deployment: See Special Rules.

Battle67eld Size Recommended: 2 by 2 or 3 by 3 feet.

Game Turns: 6.

Special Rules: Before the game begins, both players roll 1D6; the player who rolls lowest places their
Warlord and entire Warband in the very center of the battle67eld. The opposing Warband can deploy on
any table edge within 3 inches of it.

Objective: The player who rolled highest must KILL the Warlord in the center of the battle67eld, while
the opponent must keep their Warlord alive for 6 turns.

Frederik ROSATI (Order #47185625)

 Sabotage (5, 6)

Deployment: As per the normal rules.

Battle67eld Size Recommended: 3 by 3 feet.

Game Turns: 5.

Special Rules: Before the game begins, both players place 3 tokens in their deployment areas (these
should be 25-32mm in size); these tokens are targets for sabotage. A Warrior must spend a turn in base-
to-base contact with a token belonging to the enemy Warband to count as having sabotaged it.

Objective: The Warband who sabotages the most targets by the end of turn 5 wins. Victory can also
come when a Warband is wiped out.

Hunt for the Arcane Relic (7, 8)

Deployment: As per the normal rules.

Battle67eld Size Recommendation: 2 by 2 or 3 by 3 feet.

Game Turns: 6.

Special Rules: Before the game begins, be sure at least 6 pieces of terrain are on the battle67eld; each of
these pieces can be searched (a Warrior must be in base-to-base contact with the terrain to do so). To
search, you may attempt a FREE SEARCH action, then roll 1D6; on a 6, the relic is found. The relic
must be then held until the end of the game; if a Warrior carrying the relic is slain, the attacker
immediately gains possession of the relic.

Objective: The Warband in possession of the relic at the end of turn 6 is victorious.

Assassination (9, 10)

Deployment: As per the normal rules.

Battle67eld Size Recommended: 1 by 1, 2 by 2, or 3 by 3 feet.

Game Turns: 6.

Special Rules: Before the game begins, both players secretly mark a target for assassination.

Objective: Players must attempt to kill the Warrior or Warlord they marked for assassination before the
end of turn 6, otherwise it is considered a failure. Once killed, the assassination must be announced and
the game ends. Victory can also come when a Warband is wiped out.

Frederik ROSATI (Order #47185625)

 Hold them Back (11, 12)

Deployment: As per the normal rules.

Battle67eld Size Recommended: 3 by 3 feet.

Game Turns: Unlimited.

Special Rules: Before the game begins, both players roll a D6; the player with the highest roll is tasked
to move at least 3 of their Warriors into the opponent’s deployment area. The player who rolled the
lowest roll must stop them by killing them all, without allowing at least 3 enemy Warriors into their
deployment area. Once a Warrior enters the defender’s deployment area, they are considered to have
moved through and are removed from the battle67eld, scoring 1 per Warrior that enters; when 3 have
moved through the opponent’s deployment area, they win.

Objective: One player must move through the opponent’s deployment area, while the other must kill
the entire enemy before they can move through their deployment area. Victory can also come when a
Warband is wiped out.

BATTLEFIELD CONDITIONS
At the start of every game turn, before activations commence, each player rolls a D6, adding the totals
together; this determines the current battle67eld condition. Apply any modi67ers presented by the
conditions to the current game turn, with each turn potentially o2fering new conditions. This is an
optional addition and must be agreed to by players before a game begins.

2D6 Condition 2D6 Condition 2D6 Condition

2 Gale Force Winds 3 Torrential Rain 4 Earthquake Tremors
5 Astral Blessings 6 Quicksand Traps 7 Archaic Flames
8 Shroud of Silence 9 Blinding Storm 10 Tormenting Curse
11 Fog of Death 12 Time Dilation

2. Gale Force Winds

Powerful gusts of wind sweep across the battle67eld, greatly a2fecting ranged attacks. All RS rolls made
su2fer a -1 to each die rolled.

3. Torrential Rain

Heavy rain pours down, brutalizing the battle67eld and all who move through it, making the battle67eld
slippery and reducing the e2fectiveness of any ranged attacks. All Warriors su2fer a -1 to their MV and all
RS rolls su2fer a -1 to each die rolled.

Frederik ROSATI (Order #47185625)

 4. Earthquake Tremors

The ground shakes violently, causing instability for all Warriors. All Warriors’ RS rolls su2fer a -1 to each
die rolled.

5. Astral Blessings

An ancient presence watches over the battle67eld, granting a sense of resilience. All Warriors gain an extra
D6 when making AR rolls.

6. Quicksand Traps

Pockets of quicksand emerge on the battle67eld, causing hindrance to any movement made. All Warriors
su2fer a -1 to their MV and a -1 to their MS rolls.

7. Archaic Flames

Unpredictable /0ames surge and dance across the battle67eld, creating a sense of chaos. All Warriors gain
an extra D6 when making MS rolls and roll 1 less D6 when making AR rolls (to a minimum of 1).

8. Shroud of Silence

A mysterious silence blankets the battle67eld, making it challenging to communicate and coordinate
attacks. Warlords can NOT issue their FREE order.

9. Blinding Storm

A dense storm engulfs the battle67eld, reducing visibility and making it challenging to target enemies
accurately. All Warriors’ RS rolls su2fer a -1 to each die rolled, and all Warriors are treated as being in soft
cover for the purposes of AR rolls.

10. Tormenting Curse

The battle67eld is plagued by dark magic, causing an eerie aura of doom. All Warrior’s su2fer a -1 to their
AS rolls (to a minimum of 0).

11. Fog of Death

A dense and poisonous fog engulfs the battle67eld, causing harm to everything in sight. All Warriors on
the battle67eld lose 1 HP at the end of their activation.

12. Time Dilation

Time warps and bends, a2fecting the /0ow of battle. All Warriors su2fer a -1 to their MV but gain an extra
D6 when making MS rolls.

If players wish, they can agree to, and change any conditions in this list, even removing and replacing
anything with newly created conditions that would 67t their style of play and experience.

Frederik ROSATI (Order #47185625)

 WARLORD ABILITIES
When creating your Warband, you can choose to assign ONE Warlord Ability to this Warlord. This ability
costs nothing and remains attached to the Warlord for the duration of the entire game. This is an optional

Frederik ROSATI (Order #47185625)

 SOLITAIRE RULES
Savage Blades was originally intended for two players, however, these rules will allow you to take on
skirmish con/0icts in Aeloria as a single player. These rules will allow you to take on either enemy
Warbands, or the creatures that roam the world of Aeloria.

When playing solitaire, it’s encouraged that you create a Warband of 125 points or less, or, create a
Warband with no more than SIX Warriors (under 125 points). A smaller Warband (1-2 Warriors, for
example), is best played on smaller battle67elds, like 1 by 1 or 2 by 2 feet, while a larger Warband (4-6
Warriors, for example), is best played on larger battle67elds, like 3 by 3 feet.

PLAYING THE GAME

Before a game begins, and after you’ve created your Warband, you’ll need to decide which type of
encounter you want to face (either a Warband, or Aeloria’s creatures). Next, you’ll either roll to randomly
determine where the battle takes place or choose it yourself. Then, you’ll generate the enemy; rules for
creating the enemies you face are provided in detail later in these rules.

Solitaire makes use of the standard game rules, however, if you choose to play a scenario, it’s encouraged
that you do so against ONLY enemy Warbands, NOT creatures.

When playing solitaire, follow this guide for the enemy:

The enemy isn’t known yet, so use tokens or beads to represent them. When they’re activated for the
67rst time, place them anywhere on the battle67eld, except your deployment area and in cover, out of any
line of sight to your Warriors.

During an enemy activation, roll 1D6 for the activated enemy; on the result of 4+, they move up to 3
inches toward the enemy and remain in cover, if possible. Once a Warrior from your Warband has line
of sight to an enemy, they are SEEN, and a roll is made by you to determine what they are, using a D6.
The enemy works to remain hidden until you can draw line of sight to them.

After an enemy has been SEEN, apply the following rules to them:

Roll 1D6 when activating enemies with ranged weapons (on a 5+ they move 2” towards cover or away
from your Warband; otherwise, they remain stationary). They will always 67re if they are able to.

Enemies with only melee weapons will always move toward your Warband’s Warriors, if able to, and do
so, by moving towards the closest enemy Warrior to them.

Keep in mind that your enemies are trying to achieve victory, just as your Warband is. Play accordingly
when playing solitaire. Feel free to adjust anything to 67t your style of play, or to 67t in with what exactly
you want in your solitaire encounters.

Frederik ROSATI (Order #47185625)

 This version of the rules does not enforce any enemy Warriors that cast Spells. You can, however, choose
to allow for the use of enemy Warriors that cast Spells; you can choose which enemy Warriors have
Spells, and what Spells they carry, but it’s encouraged that they only carry ONE Spell.

As mentioned earlier, enemies are trying to achieve victory, just like you; keep that in mind with enemy
Warriors that cast Spells. Use them accordingly, and when it’s best to do so.

DETERMINE THE LOCATION

To determine where the battle takes place, roll 1D6 and consult the following table:

1D6 Location of the Encounter

1 Ruins of Ebonthor
2 Burning Sands of Karak
3 Veiled Mountains of Drakmar
4 Grimwood Forest
5 Frozen Wastes of Norgal
6 Mount Kurgan

You can choose the location, rather than rolling for it randomly.

GATHER THE ENEMY

First, choose to face either an enemy Warband, or to encounter Aeloria’s creatures. Then, determine the
number of enemies you’ll encounter:

1D6 Location of the Encounter

1-2 1 less than your Warband, to a minimum of 1.
3-4 Same number as your Warband.
5-6 1 more than your Warband.

Once the number is determined, deploy them according to the rules provided earlier.

ENEMY ENCOUNTERS
This section allows you to determine the kind of Warriors you encounter when facing o2f against an
enemy Warband. Once an enemy is SEEN, you must roll on the table in this section to determine the
enemy you have discovered. When determining the enemy Warrior, you may reroll a result if you do not
like the rolled result, however you can only do this ONCE per enemy generation.

Frederik ROSATI (Order #47185625)

 To determine the enemy encountered, roll 2D6 and consult the following table:

2D6 Enemy Warrior Encountered

2 Lowley Warrior; RS0, MS2, AR2, HP1
3 Veteran Warrior; RS2, MS3, AR3, HP3
4 Grizzled Warrior; RS0, MS4, AR3, HP3
5 Experienced Warrior; RS3, MS3, AR3, HP3
6 Lowley Warrior; RS0, MS2, AR2, HP1
7 Grizzled Warrior; RS0, MS4, AR3, HP3
8 Mid-Level Warlord; RS2, MS2, AR3, HP3
9 Veteran Warrior; RS2, MS3, AR3, HP3
10 Experienced Warrior; RS3, MS3, AR3, HP3
11 Mid-Level Warrior; RS2, MS2, AR1, HP2
12 Brutal Warlord; RS3, MS5, AR5, HP5

For a more challenging experience, have each attribute begin one number higher.

CREATURE ENCOUNTERS
To determine the creature you have encountered, 67rst 67nd the appropriate location based on the one
you’re currently in, then roll 1D6 on the appropriate table:

Ruins of Ebonthor Burning Sands of Karak Veiled Mountains of Drakmar

1D6 Creature 1D6 Creature 1D6 Creature
1 Ebonthorian Serpent 1 Ironjaw Direwolf 1 Venomfang Spider
2 Eldritch Harbinger 2 Voral Viper 2 Eldritch Harbinger
3 Gloomfang Panther 3 Lavascale Drake 3 Gloomfang Panther
4 Ebonthorian Serpent 4 Sandstrider Scorpion 4 Soulweaver Spider
5 Gloomfang Panther 5 Voral Viper 5 Shadowmaw Warg
6 Eldritch Harbinger 6 Crimsonclaw Bear 6 Spectral Stalker
Grimwood Forest Frozen Wastes of Norgal Mount Kurgan
1D6 Creature 1D6 Creature 1D6 Creature
1 Eldritch Harbinger 1 Frozen Yeti 1 Blazetusk Boar
2 Blightvine Creeper 2 Frostbite Wyrm 2 Emberwing Gryphon
3 Spectral Stalker 3 Eldritch Harbinger 3 Ironjaw Direwolf
4 Venomfang Spider 4 Frozen Yeti 4 Blazetusk Boar
5 Gloomfang Panther 5 Frostbite Wyrm 5 Lavascale Drake
6 Shadowfang Wolf 6 Frozen Yeti 6 Stormwing Gryphon

Follow the same rules for Warriors when encountering creatures. Creatures are not capable, nor are they
allowed to carry Spells or cast Spells of any kind.

Frederik ROSATI (Order #47185625)

 About Aeloria’s Creatures

You can 67nd all the information regarding Aeloria’s creatures in the Aelorian Bestiary, located later in
this book. Everything about the creatures’ attributes, any special rules and general information can be
found in the bestiary and should be used for reference.

Using Creatures in Regular Games

On many occasions, creatures are known to wander the 67elds of battle and 67nd themselves amid a
skirmish; these creatures often attack anyone on the battle67eld in the hopes of claiming a victim for
themselves. Warriors are often caught by surprise when creatures appear.

You can use any of the creatures listed in the bestiary in your two player games of Savage Blades; both
players must agree on their use, and if used, they follow speci67c rules when used:

L Players MUST each deploy an equal number of creatures (2 per player, for example); no more
than 4 creatures per player can be deployed.
L Creatures are deployed anywhere on the battle67eld, EXCEPT in deployment areas.
L Creatures ALWAYS begin a game already on the battle67eld.
L Creatures will ALWAYS move towards the closest Warrior to them and attack, if able.
L While not a strict rule, players can choose and agree on any kind of creatures to inhabit the
battle67eld; they can also choose a location to 67ght in, and roll to determine the creatures for
that location, per the rules in the Solitaire Rules section.

Creatures add another layer of excitement to games of Savage Blades; use them in yours to add another
level of intrigue and decision-making.

Creating New Creatures

You can create new creatures to add to Aeloria. Doing so helps you in building a broader world and
breathing new life to the vast and expansive locations throughout the world.

When creating a new creature, be sure to give it a name, describe all its details, and where in Aeloria it
resides. Use the rules for Warrior creation for creatures, however, do NOT apply the AS attribute to the
creature, as they do not cast Spells.

You can also use creatures found in the bestiary to use as inspiration for your own creatures; an easy
approach is to simply take the pro67le of one closest to yours and copy it, or, 67nd one closest to your
and adjust the attributes to what you feel 67ts your creature.

As with customizing your own miniatures, it’s encouraged that you alter miniatures you already own to
create custom and unique creatures. It can be both rewarding and challenging, allowing you to tap into
your own creativity. Swap heads, add tentacles, or anything you can think of, to help you craft and create
a truly unique creature to add to the world of Aeloria.

Frederik ROSATI (Order #47185625)

 CAMPAIGN RULES
One way to play Savage Blades, is through a campaign, allowing you and a group of players to 67ght over
territory, expand your own territory, settle disputes or to simply clash for the sake of showing the world
who holds dominance over the lands of Aeloria.

This section will focus on two ways to engage in a campaign: Territorial Campaigns, and Domination
Campaigns. Both play di2ferently, but follow very similar methods of acquiring experience, purchasing
upgrades for your Warriors and Warbands, and more.

GENERAL GUIDELINES
When playing in either type of campaign, you’ll be acquiring experience and spending it on possible
upgrades; this is handled the same way for both types of campaigns.

Starting Warband Values

All Warbands involved in the campaign begin with a total of between 80-100 points (this is agreed to by
everyone involved); use these points to create your Warbands in the methods explained in the game’s
core rules (follow the method for creating Warbands as normal).

Gaining Experience Points

Through a campaign, individuals, as well as Warbands can obtain experience. Individual Warriors gain
the following experience points after a game, for the following reasons:

Exp. Pts Gained Reason Exp. Points Gained Reason

1 Killed an Enemy 1 Survived a Skirmish
2 Sole Survivor 2 Achieved an Objective
1 Part of Victorious Warband 2 Sustained No Damage

Warbands gain the following experience points after a game, for the following reasons:

Exp. Pts Gained Reason Exp. Points Gained Reason

1 Warband Achieved Victory 1 Completed Scenario’s
Against Opponent Objective
3 All Warriors Survived the 2 All Warriors Sustained No
Encounter Damage

Feel free to discuss any additional methods of obtaining experience points with your group, but be sure
everyone agrees to the additional methods discussed. Additionally, for a quicker campaign, alter the
points gained by 1 or 2. Again, this must be agreed to by all involved.

Frederik ROSATI (Order #47185625)

 Spending Experience Points

Players can spend experience points to help upgrade Warriors, or even their Warbands. When spending
experience points, follow these rules:

L Warriors can be upgraded using both their OWN experience points earned, and experience
points collected by a Warband (they cannot use another Warrior’s earned experience points for
themselves).
L A Warband’s collected experience points can be used to help purchase upgrades for any Warriors
in the Warband, as well as for the Warband itself.

Warriors can purchase the following upgrades, using a combination of their own, and the Warband’s
collected experience points:

Exp. Pts Upgrade Exp. Pts Upgrade

10 Raise RS by ONE * 15 Raise MS by ONE *
8 Raise AS by ONE * 10 Raise AR by ONE *
12 Raise HP by ONE * X Purchase New Spell **
30 Purchase a Warlord Ability *** 70 Upgrade to Veteran ****

* Maximum possible for the attribute is 6 (this can be changed if players agree).

** Maximum of Spells able to carry is 4 in a campaign. The cost of the Spell is paid for with the Warrior’s
collected experience points.

*** Warriors can purchase a Warlord Ability but can only have ONE. If a new one is desired, but the
Warrior already has one, the current ability MUST be removed, and the new ability can be purchased
for half the cost (15 pts).

**** Upgrading to Veteran means when making attack or armor rolls, the roll needed to succeed is now
a 4+, no longer needing a 5+ as per the normal rules.

Warbands can purchase the following upgrades, using the Warband’s collected experience points (these
upgrades apply to all Warriors in a Warband):

Exp. Pts Upgrade

30 Arcane Totem: Spells are cast successfully on scores of 6 or greater, no longer 7.
35 Bloodrush Totem: When 67rst deployed and activated, may perform an additional action.
50 Warbound Totem: All Veterans’ rolls now need a 3+, no longer a 4+.
40 Mark of Korvak: Warriors ignore the FIRST point of damage they sustain. *
40 Mark of Nyxara: Spellcasters may attempt to cast TWO Spells in one activation. *
40 Mark of Drakmor: Melee attacks gain 2D6 to the total attack roll. *

* Warbands can NOT have more than ONE of these.

Frederik ROSATI (Order #47185625)

 Skirmish Aftermath

When a game is over, it’s time to see what happens to any Warriors that were considered “killed” during
the game; it is possible they survive.

Roll 1D6 per Warrior that was killed in a skirmish, then apply the following:

1D6 Roll Result 1D6 Roll Result 1D6 Roll Result

1 Dead 2 Dead 3 Amputation
4 Amputation 5 Cleared 6 Cleared

Dead: The Warrior is permanently removed from the Warband. Fallen Warriors can be replaced using
any experience points collected by a Warband, and the Warband can use experience points from any
Warriors to help recruit a new Warrior. It’s important to note that only fallen Warriors can be replaced,
and NEW additional Warriors CANNOT be added.

Amputation: The Warrior ultimately survives the battle, however, they su2fer an amputation necessary to
continue living. They return to the Warband with the following attributes (RS2, MS2, AS0, AR2, HP2);
anything previously purchased is also removed from the Warrior.

Cleared: It appeared they had fallen, but the Warrior, after being checked out, is 67ne. Nothing happens
and the Warrior may return to battle as normal.

TERRITORY CAMPAIGN
In this type of campaign, a group of players create their Warbands and 67ght over territory throughout
Aeloria. As an addition to the rules laid out in the General Guidelines section, you’ll be applying the
rules for this type of campaign when playing.

Setting Up

Each player creates their Warband. Players can agree to play for a total number of games, where at the
end, the player who controls the most territory wins the campaign, Players can also agree to end the
campaign when a number of territories have been conquered.

This book contains a map of Aeloria, both a traditional map and a hex map; use the hex map for this
type of campaign. Each player selects THREE hexes to occupy; these are their starting territories. As the
campaign progresses, they will either gain, or lose territory.

Campaign Rounds

Each ROUND represents a game played by two players, over a territory. Before each round, players will
agree on the location (hex) that will be the focus of the round; players can challenge others to their

Frederik ROSATI (Order #47185625)

 currently controlled locations, or they can battle over an unclaimed location; this is agreed to by players
before a game begins.

In most cases, these games are played using the standard rules, however, scenarios can be played, as well
as rules for creatures being added.

Players then engage in a game as normal. After the game, players tally experience points, then spend it
as they wish (while not currently in a game).

Territorial Income

After a game is played, players roll 1D6 for each territory still under their control and gain an amount of
experience points equal to the result of the roll(s); this is collected by the Warband.

End of the Campaign

A campaign can conclude in any of the following ways:

L A number of games has been reached.

L A number of territories have been conquered.
L Until all hexes on the map have been claimed, at which point the player who controls the most
is considered victorious and ruler of Aeloria.

Feel free to add or mix in methods of ending a campaign.

DOMINATION CAMPAIGN
In this type of campaign, a group of players will engage in a league style of play, racking up wins and
losses, with only one winner when it’s over. As an addition to the rules laid out in the General Guidelines
section, you’ll be applying the rules for this type of campaign when playing.

Setting Up and Playing the Domination Campaign

Each player creates their Warband. Players agree to a number of total games each Warband plays (for
example, 10, 17 or 20). Games can be played over a SEASON, where it can last a total of 10 weeks, for
example, each Warband getting to play one game per week.

End of the Campaign

At the end of a season, or the total number of games agreed to, the campaign ends and the top four
players with win-loss records compete in a tournament to decide the ultimate winner. You can also end
it with a single player at the end with the best record. If multiple players have the same record, methods
can be used to determine a sole winner, such as a tournament, a skirmish involving all players that are
tied with the best record, or something players agree to.

 AELORIAN BESTIARY
This Bestiary contains important information about the various creatures that inhabit the world of
Aeloria, and can be used for solitaire games, as well as incorporating creatures in your own games of
