Combat in Fabula Ultima is reminiscent of the console games that inspired it — each character will have a few tricks up their sleeve, and only by properly combining clever tactics and coordinating with your allies will you emerge victorious... especially when fighting against bosses!
Fabula Ultima has no default or "canonical" world, and that's on purpose! Your group will collaboratively create a custom world in which your tales will take place.
That said, the world and characters you create must adhere to eight core principles, known as the Eight Pillars — which you can find on the next page!
On the other hand, if you're not familiar with the classic tropes of Japanese console roleplaying games, you can find a useful collection of inspirational worlds starting on page 16!
