<h1>Villains</h1>
<p>
In Fabula Ultima, Villains are powerful antagonists that will give Player
Characters a run for their money. Just as the Player Characters’ actions drive
the story forward, Villains represent the powerful threats that loom over the
world — sometimes lurking in the shadows, sometimes welcoming our protagonists
with a warm and deceitful smile, and sometimes challenging them in an all-out
battle that will decide the fate of the entire world.
</p>
<p>Here are some good examples of Villains:</p>
<ul>
<li>A corrupt baron that is constantly abusing his authority.</li>
<li>
A ruthless entrepreneur who exploits workers and tricks them into believing
it's for their own good.
</li>
<li>A legendary dragon terrorizing the countryside.</li>
<li>An ancient wizard who turned the locals into pigs, rats and frogs.</li>
<li>
A regretful sorceress seeking to erase the present and correct her past
mistakes.
</li>
<li>
A god of despair who seeks to liberate all living things from the pain of
existence.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Whatever form they take, Villains are usually connected to one or more Player
Characters; sometimes this connection is thematic (as would be the case with a
ruthless Villain opposing a character's Theme of Mercy), but it can also be
much more tangible (a classic case would be a Villain who is revealed to be a
Player Character's lost sibling).
</p>
<h2>Introducing Villains in the Story</h2>
<p>
The Game Master may introduce Villains whenever they see fit — either by
adding a completely new character to the story or by revealing that a
preexisting character or creature is a Villain.
</p>
<p>
Villains are often accompanied by henchmen or even by other Villains: two
lovers fighting side by side, a Queen and her advisor, a powerful sorcerer and
his massive golems, a bandit leader and her gang of rogues...
</p>
<p>
More information on how to create and manage Villains can be found in the Game
Master chapter, on page 254.

<h1>Casting A Spell Furtively</h1>
<p>
Spells require precise movements and spoken incantations; they also produce
visible and fantastical effects. Because of this, everyone nearby will
immediately know that magic is being used, and who by — it is impossible to
cast a spell furtively.
</p>
<h2>Offensive Spells</h2>
<p>
Spells marked with <strong>(rr)</strong> next to their name are offensive
spells.
</p>
<p>
When you cast an offensive spell, you perform the appropriate Magic Check and
the target's Magic Defense score determines the Difficulty Level. If the spell
has multiple targets, it will affect each target whose Magic Defense is equal
to or lower than the Result of your Magic Check (similarly to a multi attack).
The spell will affect each target whose Magic Defense is equal to or lower
than the total Result of your Magic Check.
</p>
<p>
If you roll a critical success on the Magic Check, the spell automatically
hits all targets.
</p>
<h2>Calculating Damage and Similar Effects</h2>
<p>
Several spells require you to calculate the potency of their effects using
your High Roll (HR) — to do so, simply take the highest die you rolled on your
Magic Check. The same effect will then be applied to each target.
</p>
<h2>Ending the Effects of a Spell</h2>
<ul>
<li>
If you cast a spell with a duration of "Scene", you can end its effect at
any time.
</li>
<li>
The effect will also end if you die or fall unconscious, or if you leave the
scene.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Cumulative Spell Effects</h2>
<p>
If the same spell is cast more than once on a target, its effects will not
stack — the most recent casting will replace the previous one.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Example:</strong> The spell Elemental Shroud grants Resistance to one
damage type chosen among air, bolt, earth, fire, and ice. If this spell is
cast on a creature granting them Resistance to fire, and is subsequently cast
again on the same creature granting them Resistance to ice, the creature will
only be Resistant to ice.
</p>
<p>
If two spells have identical effects but different names, they do not stack.

<h1>RITUALS AS GROUP CHECKS</h1>
<p>
When a character attempts a Ritual, other characters can help (even if they
have no ability to perform Rituals themselves). The Magic Check will become a
Group Check (page 50), and the character who performs the Ritual will act as
the leader.

<h2>REDUCING THE COST OF A RITUAL</h2>
<p>
It is easy to notice that the MP cost of Rituals can be rather high. In order
to reduce this cost, the spellcaster may provide an especially rare or
powerful ingredient; doing so will cut the MP cost in half.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
This can only be done once per Ritual, and the Game Master should determine
the nature of the ingredient — finding it should be its own adventure
</li>
<li>
If there is no time to prepare and the Ritual is urgent, an item or
ingredient the GM deems suitable can be sacrificed to allow the Ritual to
take place.

Erecting a barrier of energy to shield a castle from an avalanche is a

<p><strong>PLAYER CHARACTER AGAINST PLAYER CHARACTER</strong></p>
<p>
While the protagonists of Fabula Ultima are heroes, this doesn’t mean there
won’t be disagreements or hostilities between them. Situations might arise in
which two or more Player Characters are at odds: you can resolve these through
mutual agreement or by using the rules as normal.
</p>
<p>When handling such a situation, make sure to remember the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>
Take some time to think about what’s happening. When the goals or actions of
two or more Player Characters are at odds, don’t be too hasty about rolling
dice. Just “pause” the game and let the involved Players find an agreement
on how to resolve the situation.
</li>
<li>
Keep in mind that these rules have been written to solve conflicts between
characters: the corresponding Players are still responsible for an enjoyable
game experience and should cooperate with each other. If a disagreement
arises between Players, there’s not much this game can do: solve the issue
through dialogue and go back to playing the game once you’re on the same
page again.
</li>
<li>
Establish what is at stake and determine a resolution method. With the help
of your Game Master, Players should establish what their characters want to
accomplish (sometimes this will be enough to realize your goals aren’t in
conflict). Then, you should choose a method to resolve the contrast: Opposed
Checks generally work well for this.
</li>
<li>
Do not roll dice until you’re sure everyone understands what will happen. If
you are struggling to find an agreement, consider setting the issue aside
and coming back to it once you’ve reached a compromise. Perhaps the
characters bicker and argue, but a more urgent threat demands their
attention.
</li>
<li>
Apply the results. Once the dice hit the table, apply the outcome for what
it is: don’t try to fudge the results or avoid the consequences of your
actions. In this case, it is probably best for the Game Master to
impartially describe what happens to everyone involved.

<h2>MAGIC AND TECHNOLOGY</h2>
<p>
In every Fabula Ultima world, science and magic represent two different ways
of studying and manipulating reality: one concerns itself with the tangible
nature of matter, the other with the souls that dwell within it — two sides of
the same coin.
</p>
<p>
Miraculous machinery might be hidden beneath the ruins of an ancient
civilization, and even the most powerful wizards will often make use of
vehicles and airships.
</p>
<p>
Many of these worlds also feature an unusual discipline that combines magic
and technology into magitech: metal soldiers animated by the souls of the
fallen, bombs that can unleash elemental mayhem, and flying machines fueled by
wind spirits are only a few examples of what can be created by this hybrid
craft.
</p>
<h2>HEROES OF MANY SIZES AND SHAPES</h2>
<p>
Fabula Ultima’s protagonists are full-fledged heroes, extraordinary
individuals that possess unique abilities and whose actions will shape the
fate of the world. While some may not be noble paladins or virtuous paragons
of justice, even the thieves and dark knights among them have a fundamentally
good nature and can be trusted to do the right thing when the situation gets
desperate.
</p>
<p>
In line with the video game genre Fabula Ultima draws inspiration from, our
heroes do not follow any rule of realism: be they children with incredible
magical powers or elderly warriors able to single-handedly challenge an entire
army, all that matters is their strength of spirit.
</p>
<h2>IT'S ALL ABOUT THE HEROES</h2>
<p>
Any relevant event in a game of Fabula Ultima is tied to the heroes, either
directly or indirectly. Dramatic plot twists shall happen when the
protagonists are present on the scene, and the great powers (and evils) of the
world shall pay them special attention.
</p>
<p>
Following the same logic, the heroes’ determination will allow them to achieve
the impossible, such as defeating an empire or sealing away a powerful deity.
</p>
<h2>MYSTERY, DISCOVERY, AND GROWTH</h2>
<p>
This game is built upon discovery: of ancient mysteries and forgotten powers,
yes, but most of all, of the heroes themselves, of their feelings, and of what
they are willing to do in order to fight against darkness. Fabula Ultima’s
protagonists are complex and sometimes tragic figures, and their journey will
change them forever.

<p>
Over the course of your adventures, you will be able to change your Identity:
a Captain of the Crimson Reapers might redeem herself and change her Identity
to that of a Knight of the White Flame, for instance. This is a good thing: it
means your character has grown into someone different!

<h1>Class Composition and Benefits</h1>
<p>Every Class provides the following information:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>A short description of the Class</strong>, covering its general role
and premise.
</li>
<li>
<strong>A list of questions</strong> that will help you define the goals,
past experiences, and behavior of your character. You don’t have to answer
all of them straight away — in fact, it's much better to let these elements
emerge during play, through your character’s actions and choices. You also
can decide to ignore some of these questions if your character concept isn't
strongly tied to that particular Class.
</li>
<li>
<strong>A list of free benefits</strong> that your character will gain
simply by acquiring the Class, such as the ability to equip martial
equipment or a slight increase to Hit Points, Mind Points or Inventory
Points. If two or more of your Classes give you the same free benefits, they
will stack!
</li>
<li>
<strong>A set of five Class Skills</strong> that are unique to the Class in
question. Whenever you invest a level in a Class, you acquire one of its
Skills; any Skills marked with
<span style="font-family: monospace">(çç)</span> can be acquired multiple
times, usually making them stronger or more flexible. The number following
the <span style="font-family: monospace">(çç)</span> symbol tells you the
maximum number of times that Skill can be acquired — for instance, a
<span style="font-family: monospace">(çç5)</span> Skill can be taken up to
five times.
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Key Definitions:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
When the text of a Skill mentions
<strong>&lt;span class="monospace"&gt;【SL】&lt;/span&gt;</strong>, that is
the Skill Level, which is to say how many times you have acquired that
Skill.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
When choosing Classes, keep in mind these simply represent your current
abilities — they will not impact your character's role in the narrative unless
you want them to, and you may steer your character in entirely different
directions later on.
</p>
<p>
For instance, a knight might have invested levels in Elementalist to learn a
few combat spells, without necessarily being a student of elemental magic.
</p>
<p>
If you are short on time or ideas, feel free to take a look at the
<em>Classic Characters</em> starting on page 172: these level 5 archetypes
will prove solid in play.
</p>
<p>
Robert is intrigued by the Loremaster and Orator Classes but also realizes
Camilla trained with some of the best fighters in the land, which means
Weaponmaster would be another fitting choice.
</p>
<p>
In the end, he decides to invest two levels in
<strong>Orator</strong> (acquiring Encourage and Unexpected Ally), then three
levels in <strong>Weaponmaster</strong> (acquiring Bone Crusher twice and then
the powerful Counterattack).

<li>Your Magic Defense is equal to your current Insight die size.</li>
<li>Your Initiative modifier is equal to 0.</li>

<h2>NATURAL FANTASY LOCATIONS</h2>
<p>
In a natural fantasy world, every location and vista is deeply immersed in
vibrant colors and populated by great beasts and monsters. There are no cities
and roads, only small villages and narrow paths. But as our heroes venture
into ruins or deep into the darkest forests, things change — these forbidden
places are alien and magical, cold and terrifying. Things that were meant to
be forgotten dwell there...
</p>
<h2>NATURAL FANTASY MAGIC</h2>
<p>
Magic is strongly tied to nature, life, and the elements: its traditions are
largely oral, passed down from elder to apprentice, and a mystery to most
people. The magic found in the ruins, however, is cold and artificial, a
remnant of an age of golems and machinery that defied and angered the forces
of nature.
</p>
<h2>NATURAL FANTASY ANTAGONISTS</h2>
<p>
In a natural fantasy world, antagonists tend to be disastrous calamities or
ancient and powerful monsters. When the antagonist is a person, they are often
misguided or acting for what they believed to be good for their community:
most of the time, they will see reason after the heroes thwart their plans.
The "true enemy", however, is generally something that cannot be reasoned
with, such as the immortal embodiment of a natural disaster that will require
great sacrifices to placate.
