Bring heroic action, dangerous magic, and extraordinary power to your gaming table with the Ascended Rules. These core rules provide the foundation for epic sword-and-sorcery campaigns where preparation, teamwork, and hard-won experience help adventurers overcome formidable challenges.
Create distinctive characters through a combination of attributes, skills, and special characteristics. Choose from humans, dwarves, elves, giants, and the Wildern, then develop your adventurer’s abilities through accomplishments in play. Your choices establish how your character fights, solves problems, and contributes to the group.
A system centered on two ten-sided dice drives action resolution, while sequenced combat makes timing, movement, and defense matter. Rules for weapons, armor, hit locations, and injuries give confrontations physical consequences. Coordinate with your companions, recognize an opening, and decide when the potential reward justifies the risk.
Arcane magic, divine blessings, and psionic powers offer different paths to extraordinary achievement. Alongside rules for character creation, advancement, equipment, and combat, these abilities give players and Gamemasters tools for adventures ranging from desperate struggles for survival to confrontations with legendary powers.
