GAME RULES

-

ULTIMA POINTS

-

- Ultima Points are the dark mirror to Fabula Points. When a Villain is - introduced, the Game Master must also decide whether that character is a - minor, major, or supreme Villain — the GM can keep this a secret or openly - reveal it. -

-

How Villains Receive Ultima Points

-
-
Minor (5)
-
- Enemy commanders, unique and infamous monsters, and antagonists causing - trouble in small settlements. -
-
Major (10)
-
- Tyrants, powerful mages, legendary creatures, and entities that threaten - entire countries. -
-
Supreme (15)
-
- Archdemons, immortal entities, and alien deities bent on destruction or - domination. -
-
-

SPENDING ULTIMA POINTS

-

A Villain has three options for spending Ultima Points:

-
-
Escape (1 Point)
-
- A Villain may spend 1 Ultima Point to safely leave the scene — the Game - Master describes how they do so, perhaps leaving a few henchmen behind to - "keep the heroes company". -
-
Invoke Trait (1 Point)
-
- After performing a Check, a Villain may spend 1 Ultima Point to invoke one - of their Traits and reroll one or both dice (this follows the same rules - seen on page 46). -
-
Recovery (1 Point)
-
- A Villain may use an action and spend 1 Ultima Point to recover from all - status effects and also recover 50 Mind Points. -
-
-

- While Player Characters can gain Fabula Points in several ways, Villains - cannot recharge their Ultima Points — in a way, they represent the Villain's - determination and will to pursue their objectives. A Villain with no - remaining Ultima Points is no longer a Villain and becomes equivalent to any - other NPC; alternatively, they may choose to escalate (see next page). -

VILLAIN AND FABULA POINTS

+

SHOULD THIS VILLAIN ESCALATE?

+

+ When choosing whether a Villain will escalate, the Game Master should + consider the antagonist's importance within the story, their personality, + and the way the heroes chose to confront them: a Villain's escalation shows + that the heroes might win a conflict but still make the situation worse. +

+

+ Most of the time it's best to simply let a Villain be defeated: maybe their + resolve is broken, maybe they even realized they were wrong and will turn + into an ally. +

+

+ Escalating your Villains sparingly will make them more memorable and also + ensure that Players feel like their actions have an impact on the world. +

+

+ In general, you should only have two to four escalations per campaign. +

+ +

VILLAIN AND FABULA POINTS

+

+ Whenever a Villain makes an entrance during a scene, each Player Character + gains 1 Fabula Point. +

+ +

+ Whenever the heroes are running low on Fabula Points, the Game Master should + run a Game Master scene and show a Villain in action — this is a great way + to push the story forward while also giving the heroes a bit more "fuel". +

Rules for Fabula Points

-
    -
  • - Multiple identities. If a Villain has more than one - identity, the heroes only receive Fabula Points when they appear using - their "antagonist persona". Once the deception is exposed, however, they - will begin awarding Fabula Points every time they appear on a scene, - whether disguised or else. -
    • -
  • - Multiple Villains. If two or more Villains appear during - the same scene, each Player Character will gain 1 Fabula Point per - Villain, up to a maximum of 3 Fabula Points per Player Character earned - this way during the same scene. -
    • -
  • - Back-to-back scenes with Villains. If a Villain's - presence extends for several consecutive scenes, the Player Characters - only gain 1 Fabula Point at the beginning, and no additional Fabula Points - for the following scenes. -
    • -

- Whenever the heroes are running low on Fabula Points, the Game Master should - run a Game Master scene and show a Villain in action — this is a great way - to push the story forward while also giving the heroes a bit more "fuel". -
