+<h1>A ROLEPLAYING GAME</h1>
+<p>
+  Roleplaying games (abbreviated RPGs) are a particular type of game — they
+  originated as tabletop games, but are nowadays often played online as well.
+</p>
+<p>
+  In a roleplaying game, a group of people play together to create a story: they
+  do so by talking with each other, and that conversation is accompanied by the
+  use of rules and (typically) dice rolls, which help determine the outcome of
+  uncertain situations and guarantee that the story created reflects the
+  premises of the game — tension and fear for a horror game, adrenaline scenes
+  for an action game, deep and heartfelt character interaction for a romantic
+  game, and so on.
+</p>
+<p>
+  In Japan, this activity is also known as a "table talk role-playing game"
+  (TTRPG), specifically, because it relies so heavily on the conversation at the
+  table.
+</p>
+<h2>ROLES IN THE GAME</h2>
+<p>The people who play this game will fulfill different roles:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Game Master</strong>. Often abbreviated as GM, this person's role is
+    that of portraying the game world in which the protagonists of the story act
+    and live. As the protagonists establish goals and make choices, the Game
+    Master will challenge those goals and describe the consequences of their
+    actions.
+    <em
+      >You can find more about the Game Master's role on
+      <a href="/books/core/#page-26">page 26</a>!</em
+    >
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Player</strong>. Each of the remaining participants — two to five
+    people — will create a heroic protagonist and then control that character's
+    actions within the game world. Each protagonist is known as a Player
+    Character, generally abbreviated as PC.
+    <p>
+      Characters that are controlled by the Game Master, on the other hand, are
+      called Non-Player Characters, or NPCs.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      <em
+        >You can find more about each Player's role on
+        <a href="/books/core/#page-24">page 24</a>!</em
+      >
+    </p>
+  </li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  While it is true that the role of the Game Master is to present obstacles and
+  put the Player Characters in situations of risk and danger, their role is not
+  that of an adversary, but rather someone who aims to make the protagonists
+  shine throughout the story.
+</p>
+<p>
+  There is no "win condition" in this game: as long as you create a memorable
+  story and enjoy each other's company, you're all winning.

+<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... More information
+  on how to create and manage Villains can be found in the Game Master chapter,
+  on <a href="/books/core/#page-254">page 254</a>.

+<h2>ULTIMA POINTS</h2>
+<p>
+  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.

+    </tr>

+  alternatively, they may choose to escalate (see next page).

+<h2>ESCALATION</h2>
+<p>
+  At any time during play, the Game Master may declare that a Villain has
+  transformed into a new version of themselves — one with greater powers and
+  darker ambitions. Narratively speaking, this is the moment in which the
+  Villain rejects a chance at redemption and grows even more obsessive in the
+  pursuit of their goal. The heroes forced them into a corner, and the results
+  have proven catastrophic.
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    A <strong>minor Villain</strong> can become a
+    <strong>major Villain</strong>.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    A <strong>major Villain</strong> can become a
+    <strong>supreme Villain</strong>.
+  </li>
+  <li>A <strong>supreme Villain</strong> cannot grow any more powerful.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  Following this transformation, the character is treated as an entirely new
+  Villain; the first time they appear during a scene, their Ultima Points will
+  reset to a value appropriate to their new role in the story.
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    If a Villain has no Ultima Points left and is reduced to 0 Hit Points, they
+    may immediately escalate while still on the scene; this will allow them to
+    recharge their Ultima Points and no longer be forced to surrender (<a
+      href="/books/core/#page-87"
+      >page 87</a
+    >).
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    If a Villain escalates while on the scene, they are immediately treated as a
+    new Villain and thus award each Player Character 1 Fabula Point.
+  </li>
+</ul>

+<h2>SHOULD THIS VILLAIN ESCALATE?</h2>
+<p>
+  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.
+</p>
+<p>
+  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.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Escalating your Villains sparingly will make them more memorable and also
+  ensure that Players feel like their actions have an impact on the world.
+</p>
+<p>In general, you should only have two to four escalations per campaign.</p>
+
+<h2>VILLAIN AND FABULA POINTS</h2>
+<p>
+  Whenever a Villain makes an entrance during a scene, each Player Character
+  gains 1 Fabula Point.
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Multiple identities.</strong> 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.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Multiple Villains.</strong> 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.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Back-to-back scenes with Villains.</strong> 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.
+  </li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  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".

+  <h1>INVENTORY POINTS</h1>
+
+  <p>
+    Player Characters have an abstract reserve of useful gear and consumable
+    items, represented by Inventory Points (IP).
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    A character can normally carry a maximum of 6 Inventory Points; however,
+    some Classes and special Skills will increase this limit.
+  </p>
+</div>
+<div>
+  <h2>SPENDING INVENTORY POINTS</h2>
+  <p>
+    Whenever you need a consumable item from the list below, you may spend an
+    appropriate amount of Inventory Points to produce it from your bag and apply
+    its effect — all Inventory Points spent this way must come from the same
+    character.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    Once created, the item must be used immediately and is destroyed in the
+    process; you cannot create it and then "save it for later".
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    The table below lists the default inventory objects available in the game;
+    this information is also present on your group sheet for easier reference.
+    The sheet also features blank spaces where you can write custom inventory
+    items that are unique to your world!
+  </p>
+  <p>

+<h2>RECHARGING INVENTORY POINTS</h2>
+<p>
+  Characters can recharge their Inventory Points when they are in a town,
+  village, or other locations that allow them to purchase useful gear: the cost
+  is 10 zenit for every Inventory Point they want to recharge.
+</p>
+<p>
+  At the Game Master’s discretion, characters may also recharge some of their
+  Inventory Points in particular circumstances, such as stumbling upon an
+  adventurer’s backpack or being rewarded by a village for their help with local
+  troubles.
+</p>
+<p>
+  A character’s current Inventory Points can never go above their maximum
+  Inventory Points — there is always a limit to how much can be carried
+  comfortably.
+</p>
+<h2>SHARING INVENTORY POINTS</h2>
+<p>
+  Characters are not allowed to redistribute Inventory Points among themselves.
+</p>
+<h2>GEAR AND TOOLS</h2>
+<p>
+  All Player Characters are assumed to be carrying any gear and tools
+  appropriate to their Identity or befitting their role as adventurers: there’s
+  no need to keep track of torches, ropes, blankets and so on.
+</p>
+<p>If a character needs a basic adventuring item, they will have it.</p>
+<p>
+  However, sometimes a character will need an item that is a bit uncommon or
+  doesn't really fit their Identity. When this happens, the Game Master may
+  allow the character to spend some Inventory Points (generally 2 to 4) in order
+  to "miraculously" pull the item in question out of their backpack.
+</p>
+<p class="example">
+  <strong>Example:</strong> A character whose Identity is “Princess of Thieves”
+  will surely carry some quality lockpicks in her bag; on the contrary, a noble
+  knight will probably have to spend a couple Inventory Points to pull them out
+  of his backpack.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Items created this way are not immediately destroyed, but characters should
+  not be allowed to sell them for a price higher than five times their IP cost.
+  For instance, an item that costs 2 IP to create should sell for 10 zenit at
+  most.
+</p>
+<p class="note">
+  <strong>Note:</strong> While tools and similar gear might allow you to perform
+  an otherwise impossible operation, they never grant any mechanical benefit.

+    While conflicts may be the most memorable moments of a game session, the

+    the beginning of the game, your group will create the world together (see

+    this does not mean you know everything about it. While you may be familiar

+  <h2>TRAVELING ACROSS THE WORLD MAP</h2>
+  <p>
+    When a group embarks on a journey, the Game Master makes use of the map
+    sheet to track their movements. The basic unit of this system is the travel
+    day: it is the average distance covered during a single day on the map
+    (assuming the characters are traveling on foot). The length of one travel
+    day when using your map sheet must be established by the group during World
+    Creation.

+    three days, for instance.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    The Game Master always has final say on how many travel days a journey will
+    take.
+  </p>
+  <ul>
+    <li>
+      <strong>W:</strong> The Game Master determines the threat level of the
+      areas traversed by the group (see next page). If more than a single threat
+      level is present, only apply the highest.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      <strong>1W:</strong> Unless stopped by an encountered danger, the
+      characters proceed to the next travel day (go back to step 1) or reach
+      their destination.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      <strong>3O:</strong> Perform a travel roll by rolling the die appropriate
+      to the chosen threat level.

+        <li>On a 1, the group makes an unexpected discovery!</li>

+    <p>
+      Liz (the Game Master) takes a look at the map and determines that the
+      characters will need one travel day to reach the hills, and another travel
+      day to explore the surrounding area in order to find the tunnel entrance.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      For the first travel day, the group will cross prairies (d8) and hills
+      (d10). Since only the highest die has to be taken into account, Liz should
+      roll a d10. However, there is talk of a gang of bandits roaming the
+      prairie: she decides this should raise the threat level to
+      <strong>High</strong> (d12). The die comes up a 7: a danger!

+    <p>
+      Liz has the group encounter a band of four brigands, accompanied by a Grey

+      Tent and rest, regaining their energies.

+      Finally, Liz rolls for the second travel day, spent exploring the hills in

+      she rolls a 1! After giving it some thought, Liz describes the PCs finding
+      an entrance to the ancient tunnels... but they are not alone! They meet a
+      traveling merchant by the name of Lily, who wishes to be escorted through
+      the mine: she seeks an audience with the serpent herself, and will reward
+      them with goods or information for it!

+  <li>"I step forward and speak to the queen!"</li>
+  <li>"I run after the thief! Where did he go?"</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  Similarly, the Game Master describes what happens in the world and also
+  portrays the actions of every creature and character around the protagonists:
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    "The village looks calm, its white windmills turning lazily under the sun. "
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    "The king appears tired and struggles to speak, as if not in control of his
+    body. "
+  </li>
+  <li>"The dragon turns his smoldering gaze towards you!"</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  Together, this is all known as <strong>roleplaying</strong>, and these events

+<h2>THE RULES</h2>
+<p>
+  This is also a game, and that's where the rules come into play: much like in a
+  video game or board game, characters have scores and abilities representing
+  their strengths and weaknesses, and dice rolls will often be used to make a
+  situation's outcome a bit tense and unpredictable.
+</p>
+<p>

+<h1>DUNGEONS</h1>
+<div>
+  <p>
+    The concept of a “dungeon” is a common trope in any type of RPG, tabletop
+    and digital alike. Generally, a dungeon is frequently — but not always! — a
+    labyrinthine environment, inhabited by hostile creatures... and often
+    concealing valuable treasures and powerful magical items, or acting as an
+    evil antagonist's lair.
+  </p>
+  <p class="note">
+    In Fabula Ultima, the term “dungeon” is used to indicate a somewhat complex
+    location that is worthy of being explored. It could be an abandoned mill
+    turned into a brigand hideout, a witch’s castle, or a network of waterways
+    guarded by ancient golems.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    Most of the time, the dungeon itself won’t be that important: why the heroes
+    are there and what can be found within it is what really matters. Other
+    times, a dungeon can be a powerful way to tell a story about those who
+    inhabited it — and maybe hint at some obscure truths or provide an answer to
+    some of the game world's mysteries.
+  </p>
+</div>
+<div>
+  <h2>EXPLORING DUNGEONS</h2>
+  <p>
+    Depending on the size and importance of the dungeon in question, the Game
+    Master may adopt any of the following methods:
+  </p>
+  <ul>
+    <li>
+      <strong>Dungeon scenes.</strong> The exploration is run as a succession of
+      key moments rather than an inch-by-inch search of the dungeon. This works
+      best when the layout of the dungeon is mostly irrelevant and all that
+      matters is what lies in its depths. This approach is identical to default
+      gameplay: the heroes discuss their actions and describe what they do, the
+      Game Master describes what goes on around them, and Checks and conflicts
+      take place as normal.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      <strong>Detailed exploration.</strong> The entire dungeon can be explored
+      in its every nook and cranny. This approach can be quite time-consuming
+      and should only be used if the structure and details of the place tell an
+      important story. For this method to work, the GM should carefully prepare
+      the layout of the dungeon beforehand — reserve it for locations that
+      you're sure the PCs will explore.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      <strong>Interlude.</strong> The exploration is narrated as an interlude
+      scene, with maybe a single Group Check establishing whether the Player
+      Characters encounter any obstacles or dangers before they reach the depths
+      of the dungeon. Use this approach if you are short on time and if the
+      dungeon isn't particularly important — the typical occasion would be a
+      minor location discovered while traveling.
+    </li>
+  </ul>
+  <p>

+    dungeons can be found starting on

+  <h2>DANGER CLOCKS</h2>
+  <p>
+    The Game Master can use Clocks to keep track of incoming threats in the
+    dungeon. These Danger Clocks should feature a number of section based on the
+    urgency of the threat they represent:
+  </p>
+  <ul>
+    <li>
+      <strong>Eight sections</strong> for a threat that isn't immediately
+      obvious and will only come true with time — something like "crumbling
+      temple" or "magitech system failure".
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      <strong>Six sections</strong> for a threat that is quite obvious and
+      likely to happen after a while — such as "wandering monsters" or
+      "poisonous fog".
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      <strong>Four sections</strong> for a threat that is urgent and very likely
+      to happen — something like "surrounded" or "high alert" in a dungeon
+      brimming with hostile creatures.
+    </li>
+  </ul>
+  <p>
+    The Game Master may fill a Danger Clock as a consequence of failed Checks,
+    as well as when an event would make the threat more likely, such as when the
+    PCs spend time searching a room, make noise, rest inside the dungeon or draw
+    unwanted attention.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    Different Danger Clocks will be triggered by different actions and events,
+    of course — casting a spell might fill an "arcane overload" Clock, while
+    searching a room is unlikely to affect it.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    As the Clock fills, the Game Master should foreshadow the incoming danger:
+    once it is completely filled, that threat will become active in full, and
+    the heroes will be forced to deal with it one way or another.

+<h1>MAGIC</h1>
+<div>
+  <p>
+    The worlds of Fabula Ultima are innately magical, bound together on an
+    atomic level by a stream of eternal souls. Because of this, many creatures
+    can wield magic, manipulating soul energy to create supernatural effects.
+  </p>
+</div>
+<div>
+  <h2>SPELLS AND RITUALS</h2>
+  <p>
+    Magic in Fabula Ultima falls within one of two categories: spells or
+    Rituals.
+  </p>
+  <ul>
+    <li>
+      <strong>Spells</strong> represent codified magic formulas developed to
+      protect warriors and travelers: their applications are primarily offensive
+      or defensive. They can be learned easily and only require a brief gesture
+      to cast, but lack flexibility.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      <strong>Rituals</strong>, on the other hand, are complex magical effects
+      designed to overcome a specific obstacle: whenever a Ritual is performed,
+      it will always be started from scratch and take several minutes to
+      complete.
+    </li>
+  </ul>
+  <p>
+    While powerful and extremely flexible, Rituals consume large amounts of Mind
+    Points and require difficult Magic Checks; additionally, failing a Ritual
+    will cause the magic to spiral out of control. While these downsides can be
+    mitigated through time, effort, and complex procedures, the truth remains
+    that Ritual magic is a powerful resource... but one that should be used
+    sparingly.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    The mechanics governing spells and Rituals can be found in the next pages.
+  </p>
+</div>
+<div>
+  <h2>MAGIC DISCIPLINES</h2>
+  <p>
+    This book features a total of six disciplines: Arcanism, Chimerism,
+    Elementalism, Entropism, Ritualism, and Spiritism. Five of these correspond
+    to a specific Class: Arcanist, Chimerist, Elementalist, Entropist, and
+    Spiritist, whilst Ritualism is available to all of these Classes, except for
+    Arcanists.
+  </p>
+  <div>
+    <h3>ARCANISM</h3>
+    <p>
+      Arcanists can project a large portion of their soul outside their bodies,
+      forcing it to resonate with the power left behind by ancient divine
+      entities known as Arcana, and manifest a fragment of their power. To
+      access an Arcanum’s power, one must first earn their favor: this often
+      involves completing some sort of trial, quest, or mission.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Arcanism is a peculiar discipline that does not feature spells, but
+      instead follows its own unique mechanics (see the Arcanist Class on
+      <a href="/books/core/#page-176">page 176</a>). Arcanism Rituals are also
+      possible through the Arcane Rituals Skill.

+  <p>
+    Chimerists gain their powers from the souls of beasts and monsters; they
+    search for creatures able to cast spells and attempt to mimic the same
+    effects.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    Chimerism features both spells and Rituals. However, Chimerist spells must
+    be learned from creatures (see the Spell Mimic Skill on
+    <a href="/books/core/#page-183">page 183</a>).

+<div>
+  <h3>Elementalism</h3>
+  <p>
+    Elementalists can control the stream of souls that binds the four core
+    elements of creation: air, earth, fire, and water. They can also influence
+    any of their combinations and manifestations, such as magma, blizzards,
+    deserts, or clouds.
+  </p>
+  <p>Elementalism features both spells and Rituals.</p>
+</div>
+<div>
+  <h3>Entropism</h3>
+  <p>
+    Entropists go beyond the stream of souls found in the world and reach for
+    the vast expanse of nothingness between stars. Their chaotic magic defies
+    logic, twisting time and space and dissipating souls, matter, and magical
+    energy.
+  </p>
+  <p>Entropism features both spells and Rituals.</p>
+</div>
+<div>
+  <h3>Ritualism</h3>
+  <p>
+    Contrary to most other magical disciplines, Ritualism features no spells and
+    can only be used in Ritual form. It is a catch-all term for Rituals
+    performed to manipulate, sense, bind or unleash magical energy present
+    within a location, item, mechanism, or relic.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    From a certain point of view, magitech could be considered a combination of
+    Ritualism and technology.
+  </p>
+</div>
+<div>
+  <h3>Spiritism</h3>
+  <p>
+    Spiritists can manipulate the raw energy found within the souls of living
+    creatures, influencing their emotions and manipulating their vital force: a
+    power both miraculous and frightening.
+  </p>
+  <p>Spiritism features both spells and Rituals.</p>

+          See <a href="/books/core/#page-116">page 116</a> for more information

+      </li>
+      <li>
+        <strong>Mind Point Cost:</strong> The cost of the spell in Mind Points.
+        To cast a spell, you must have enough MP to pay its cost; additionally,
+        some spells allow you to spend more MP to increase the number of targets
+        or strengthen the effect. For instance, a spell with a cost of 10 × T
+        will cost you 10 Mind Points per target; the final amount of Mind Points
+        required to cast a spell is known as the total MP cost.
+      </li>
+      <li>
+        <strong>Targets:</strong> The targets that can be affected by the spell.
+        Most spells can target a certain number of creatures, but others may
+        affect different targets (such as weapons).
+      </li>
+      <li>
+        <strong>Target Specification:</strong> A target of "Self" means the
+        caster will use the spell on themselves, while a target of "Special"
+        indicates that the spell functions in a unique way described in its
+        text, usually affecting a variety of creatures or elements present on
+        the scene.
+      </li>
+      <li>
+        <strong>Duration:</strong> The duration of the spell. Either
+        "Instantaneous", meaning that the spell takes effect immediately and
+        then dissipates, or "Scene", meaning that the spell creates an ongoing
+        effect lasting until the end of the scene it was cast in.
+      </li>
+      <li>
+        <strong>Effect Description:</strong> The effect of the spell, often
+        preceded by a flavorful description. This description has no mechanical
+        relevance, but can help you understand the concept behind the spell and
+        customize its appearance in order to fit your character.

+        <strong>Opportunity Effect:</strong> Spells that require a Magic Check
+        often feature an opportunity effect. If you roll a critical success on

+        this effect.

+      You must be free to move your body. You can be holding items in your
+      hands, as long as you can move your arms.

+    <li>
+      Declare which spell you want to cast among those your character has

+    </li>
+    <li>If required, choose the targets for your spell.</li>

+<h2>CASTING A SPELL FURTIVELY</h2>
+<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 (r) 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>
+<p>
+  If you cast a spell with a duration of "Scene", you can end its effect at any
+  time. The effect will also end if you die or fall unconscious, or if you leave
+  the scene.
+</p>
+<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 class="example">
+  Example: 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.

+  The full process for casting Rituals is described on the next page. Remember
+  that Ritual magic should never be able to accomplish any of the following:
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    Causing direct damage. The Ritual can still deal collateral damage — if you
+    open a chasm below your enemies' feet, they are bound to suffer some kind of
+    harm. When establishing collateral damage dealt by a Ritual, use the table
+    on <a href="/books/core/#page-93">page 93</a>.
+  </li>
+  <li>Inflicting or removing status effects.</li>
+  <li>
+    Causing characters to lose or gain HP , MP , IP , Fabula Points or Ultima
+    Points.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Replicating the mechanical benefits of an existing spell or Skill (however,
+    narrative effects such as teleportation of flight are okay, even if some
+    Skills do grant them).
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Generating creatures or equipment, or granting them permanent abilities.
+  </li>

+  Aside from these, most Rituals are fair game — but the stronger the effect you

+<h2>BUT WHAT IS THIS GAME ABOUT?</h2>
+<p>
+  There are many roleplaying games in the world, and we play them for different
+  reasons: many make us feel like heroes, some have us embroiled in dark
+  investigations and tragic tales, others will challenge our skills and tactical
+  mindset, and others make us reflect on heavy and important topics.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Fabula Ultima was designed to be a TTJRPG — a Table Talk JRPG, evoking the
+  feel and stories that can typically be found in classic console Japanese
+  roleplaying video games.
+</p>
+<h3>HEROIC AND FANTASTIC ACTION</h3>
+<p>
+  In line with the genre that inspired it, this game doesn't concern itself with
+  realism or verisimilitude — instead, it deliberately embraces a light-hearted,
+  bizarre and "videogamey" feel, both in its tone and in its mechanics.
+</p>
+<h3>A GAME OF HEROES AND VILLAINS</h3>
+<p>
+  This is a game about larger-than-life heroes and tragic antagonists. There is
+  no predetermined plot, scenario, or "adventure" — the heroes' actions,
+  motivations, and objectives will drive the story forward while the Game Master
+  reacts to their choices and places obstacles on their path, often in the form
+  of powerful villains with their own devious agendas, which will change time
+  and time again as the protagonists manage (or fail) to thwart their plans.
+</p>
+<h3>HEROIC DESTINY</h3>
+<p>
+  The heroes of Fabula Ultima are destined to accomplish great deeds, and they
+  will only meet their end when the person who plays them deems it appropriate.
+  That said, the price of defeat will often prove steeper than death — a major
+  part of this game will be discovering how your heroes rise from their failures
+  and learn to work together in order to accomplish what they could never do on
+  their own.

+  <h2>RITUALS AS GROUP CHECKS</h2>
+  <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 (<a href="/books/core/#page-50">page 50</a>), and the
+    character who performs the Ritual will act as the leader.
+  </p>
+</div>
+<div>
+  <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.
+    </li>
+  </ul>
+</div>
+<div>
+  <h2>SAMPLE RITUALS</h2>
+  <p>Use these examples as guidelines when adjudicating Rituals.</p>
+  <p class="example">
+    Summoning a great globe made of fire and using it to destroy the engine of
+    an airship is an Elementalism Ritual of major potency targeting a small area
+    (80 MP, DL 13). If this Ritual fails, you might trigger a devastating
+    firestorm.
+  </p>
+  <p class="example">
+    Sensing whether a person is hostile is a Spiritism Ritual of minor potency
+    affecting an individual area (20 MP, DL 7). On a failure, you might
+    accidentally instill strong negative emotions inside them, with
+    unpredictable consequences.
+  </p>
+  <p class="example">
+    Erecting a barrier of energy to shield a castle from an avalanche is a
+    Ritualism Ritual of extreme potency targeting a huge area (200 MP, DL 16).
+    If the Ritual fails, you might cause a burst of uncontrolled magical force
+    and trigger a supernatural cataclysm.
+  </p>
+  <p class="example">
+    Altering the flow of time to briefly restore the functions of a damaged
+    device is an Entropism Ritual of medium potency affecting an individual area
+    (30 MP, DL 10). On a failure, the mechanism and some of the nearby objects
+    might rapidly age before your eyes and crumble to dust.

+      discipline, area and potency.
+    </li>

+      A Ritual Clock is immediately created with a number of sections based on
+      the Ritual's potency — see the table above. Now that this Clock is part of
+      the scene, anyone can interact with it through the Objective action. Like
+      any use of the Objective action, the Game Master will be the one
+      adjudicating which Attributes should be used for the Check, as well as
+      whether it has a fixed Difficulty Level or is an Opposed Check. The caster
+      can perform the first Check to fill some sections the Clock as part of the
+      Objective action they used to begin the Ritual.
+    </li>
+    <li>

+  <h1>ECONOMY AND ITEMS</h1>
+  <p>
+    Regardless of which fantastic world your adventures take place in, your
+    heroes will likely find themselves purchasing and selling items. This
+    section covers the basics of the economy and provides you with useful lists
+    of items and prices.
+  </p>
+  <div>
+    <h2>ZENIT</h2>
+    <p>
+      The common currency of all Fabula Ultima worlds is zenit, a gold coin
+      whose shape and size may vary from region to region. While prices may rise
+      and fall depending on where you are, zenit is universally accepted.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      On average, 5 z pays for a decent meal, 10 z will be enough to rent a room
+      for the night in town, and 100 z can fetch you a bronze shield.
+    </p>
+  </div>
+  <div>
+    <h2>EQUIPPED ITEMS AND ITEMS IN YOUR BACKPACK</h2>
+    <p>
+      As shown on the character sheet, a Player Character can equip a limited
+      number of items on their body:
+    </p>
+    <ul>
+      <li>You have one equipment slot for your armor.</li>
+      <li>
+        You have a main hand equipment slot, where you can equip a one-handed
+        weapon or a two-handed weapon. While you have a two-handed weapon
+        equipped here, that weapon will also take up your off-hand slot (see
+        below).
+      </li>
+      <li>
+        You have an off-hand equipment slot, where you can equip a one-handed
+        weapon or a shield.
+      </li>
+      <li>You have one equipment slot for your accessory.</li>
+    </ul>
+    <p>
+      Any item you have that is not equipped goes in your backpack. There is no
+      set limit to how many items you can carry this way, as long as it makes
+      sense. The Game Master has final say on what you can and cannot carry this
+      way.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      If you ever find yourself in need of transporting large and heavy items
+      over long distances, consider purchasing a transport (see
+      <a href="/books/core/#page-125">page 125</a>).
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      It takes a few moments to find items stored inside a backpack: during a
+      conflict, for example, you will need to spend an action searching for
+      them. On the other hand, items you have equipped are readily accessible,
+      but also more exposed to the risk of being damaged or stolen.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      An item stored in your backpack does not grant you any of its properties.
+      If you want it to “work”, you must equip it!

+  <h2>HOW TO GET NEW ITEMS</h2>
+  <p>
+    There are plenty of occasions for characters to acquire gear and equipment:
+    villages and towns will always have one or more stores dedicated to weapons,
+    armor, and useful accessories. This doesn’t mean a character can simply walk
+    into a shop in the middle of nowhere and expect to purchase a magical
+    crossbow, however: while basic weapons, armor, and shields should be
+    available in most settlements, rare items should only be found in unique
+    stores, hidden within the most dangerous of ruins, guarded by powerful
+    monsters or offered as a reward for heroic deeds.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    If you are the Game Master, see
+    <a href="/books/core/#page-266">page 266</a> for rules and guidelines on how
+    to create rare items, as well as several lists of premade items. A list of
+    basic items can be found starting on
+    <a href="/books/core/#page-130">page 130</a>.
+  </p>
+</div>
+<div>
+  <h2>REWARDS</h2>
+  <p>
+    There are three main ways treasure and magical items can be handled during a
+    Fabula Ultima campaign.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    When you start playing, you should discuss which of the methods below you
+    want to adopt; you can always change your decision later on after a few
+    sessions.
+  </p>
+  <h3>Methods for Handling Treasure</h3>
+  <ul>
+    <li>
+      <strong>Classic.</strong> The GM hands out rewards as they see fit. This
+      is probably the most common solution, but it puts a lot of responsibility
+      on the GM's shoulders.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      <strong>Survey.</strong> The Game Master asks everyone about the kind of
+      items they'd like their characters to find or use — perhaps the ninja
+      would like to wear an intimidating han'nya mask (<a
+        href="/books/core/#page-286"
+        >page 286</a
+      >), or the brawler can't wait to get her hands on a pair of fuel knuckles
+      (<a href="/books/core/#page-272">page 272</a>). Using this method, the GM
+      has a useful list of items they can pick from when handing out rewards.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      <strong>Wishlist.</strong> This is an uncommon approach, but it can be
+      interesting. Each Player writes a list of items they would like their
+      character to find over the course of their career — these can be chosen
+      from the lists of rare items in the Game Master chapter, or designed from
+      scratch following the guidelines presented there. Then, whenever the group
+      finds some kind of treasure or receives a reward, the Players themselves
+      can pick from those lists and narrate what the item is — as well as why it
+      was there.
+    </li>
+  </ul>

+<div>
+  <h2>Selling Items</h2>
+  <p>
+    Provided you can find someone willing to buy it, an item will sell for
+    roughly half its original price. This amount may be modified by the item’s
+    quality and condition: none will want the rusted, mud-caked axes picked up
+    in the old tunnels.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    The Game Master always has final say on whether you are able to sell a given
+    item and how many zenit you can make from it; sometimes it will also be
+    possible to barter or carry out duties in exchange for goods.
+  </p>
+</div>
+<div>
+  <h2>Artifacts</h2>
+  <p>
+    Player Characters will sometimes come into possession of incredibly powerful
+    magic items, known as artifacts (see
+    <a href="/books/core/#page-288">page 288</a>). Given their nature, artifacts
+    should never be purchased or sold: no amount of riches can do them justice.
+    Entire kingdoms could go to war for a chance to obtain them.
+  </p>
+</div>
+<div>
+  <h2>Services and Transports</h2>
+  <p>
+    Prices and availability for animals, vehicles, lodging, and such may vary
+    depending on your game world. The following lists are meant to be a
+    guideline for the Game Master when establishing prices.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    When it comes to transports, the list includes generic entries for mounts,
+    cars, vessels, airships and such. Each transport can carry a certain number
+    of passengers and increases the distance you can cover within a single
+    travel day.
+  </p>
+  <ul>
+    <li>Terrestrial transports can only travel on land.</li>
+    <li>Aquatic transports can travel on water surfaces.</li>
+    <li>Submarine transports can travel above and underwater.</li>
+    <li>Flying transports can travel in the skies.</li>
+    <li>
+      If you purchase a vehicle hauled by animals, their cost is included in its
+      price.
+    </li>
+    <li>There is no need to keep track of animal fodder or fuel.</li>
+    <li>
+      Mounts acquired this way have no stats and will not fight. If you want to
+      ride a creature into battle, take a look at the Wayfarer's Skill Faithful
+      Companion (<a href="/books/core/#page-217">page 217</a>).

+  <h3>A NOTE ON UNARMED STRIKES</h3>
+  <p>
+    Among the various weapons available in the game, one is the unarmed strike
+    (see next page). These are the character's empty hands, and while they do
+    count as one-handed weapons, they are automatically "equipped" whenever a
+    hand slot is empty. Basically, an empty hand slot also counts as an unarmed
+    strike.

+<h2>Challenging Battles</h2>
+<p>
+  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!
+</p>
+<h2>Your World</h2>
+<p>
+  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.
+</p>
+<p>
+  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!
+</p>
+<p>
+  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 <a href="/books/core/#page-16">page 16</a>!

+  Much like how spellcasters gain access to Ritual magic, characters with the
+  Tinkerer Class (<a href="/books/core/#page-210">page 210</a>) may start
+  Projects and work on a variety of custom inventions — love potions, walking
+  magitech shields, or even majestic airships.
+</p>
+<p><strong>Projects</strong></p>
+<p>Projects work as follows:</p>
+<ol>
+  <li>
+    Describe the invention's effects, how it operates, what kind of energy it
+    requires, and the specific benefits it provides. The Game Master has final
+    say on whether a given invention is feasible in your circumstances.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    By consulting the area, potency, and uses tables (see next page), the GM
+    determines the invention's total cost in materials, to be paid immediately.
+    For inventions of medium or higher potency, the Game Master also describes a
+    necessary special ingredient or material. This item cannot simply be
+    purchased and should become the focus of one or two sessions.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    To complete the Project, you must reach an amount of progress equal to one
+    for every 100 zenit of material costs (minimum one progress required).
+  </li>
+  <p>At the end of each day, the Project will advance as follows:</p>
+  <ul>
+    <li>
+      +1 progress for every Player Character who worked on the Project today.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      +1 extra progress for every Player Character with one or more levels in
+      the Tinkerer Class who worked on the Project today.
+    </li>
+  </ul>
+  <li>
+    Once the required amount of progress is reached, the invention is created!
+    If you can generate more progress in a day than what is currently needed to
+    complete the Project, you may have it ready within a few hours instead.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    If an invention is complex enough — such as a magitech motorcycle equipped
+    with a cannon, acting as both a vehicle and a weapon — the Game Master is
+    free to split the Project into two or more separate inventions, each
+    requiring its own individual development process.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    You may negotiate a terrible flaw with the Game Master — perhaps the
+    invention must be recharged at regular intervals, is unreliable, cumbersome,
+    or extremely loud. This flaw reduces the total cost of the Project by 25%.
+  </li>

+  <h2>USING MATERIALS TO PAY FOR PROJECTS</h2>
+  <p>
+    If you happen to gather precious materials during your adventures, you may
+    use them to pay for the costs of a Project. The Game Master has final say on
+    which materials and ingredients can help you cover the cost of a Project.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    If the Game Master requests a given ingredient or material because of the
+    invention's potency (as described under step 3 of the flowchart on page
+    134), said ingredient or material cannot also be used to pay for the
+    Project's costs.
+  </p>
+  <h3>HIRING HELPERS</h3>
+  <p>
+    If an inventor wants to increase the daily amount of progress, or if they
+    want to work on multiple Projects at the same time, they may want to hire
+    helpers.
+  </p>
+  <ul>
+    <li>
+      Each helper is a competent worker or assistant who will ask for a pay
+      equal to half of the Project’s total cost.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Each helper will generate 1 additional progress at the end of each day.
+    </li>
+  </ul>
+  <p>
+    The sticky core found inside Elemental Slimes can be used to produce several
+    forms of energy.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    The rules for Projects are very flexible, but they are designed to allow
+    characters to create something unique and never seen before, not to craft
+    items that can normally be found or purchased, such as equipment — they
+    should be used to provide innovative solutions to problems and obstacles.
+  </p>
+  <ul>
+    <li>
+      If the character wants to create multiple copies of an invention, each is
+      a separate Project. Turning inventions into easy-to-produce items will
+      inevitably break the game. For Tinkerers who want to customize equipment,
+      look at the Heroic Skill Upgrade (<a href="/books/core/#page-217"
+        >page 217</a
+      >).
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Projects require time: if the group focuses on a long Project, Villains
+      will certainly not sit idly.
+    </li>
+    <li>Interlude scenes are perfect for narrating a Project's development.</li>

+<h1>THE EIGHT PILLARS</h1>
+<p>
+  The world in which your adventures will take place is not predetermined: its
+  cities, kingdoms, deities, and cultures are something your group will create
+  (take a look at World Creation on
+  <a href="/books/core/#page-148">page 148</a>). This fantastic land will grow
+  organically as you explore and travel across it, adding new details and
+  unraveling ancient mysteries!
+</p>
+<p>What ties all Fabula Ultima worlds together are The Eight Pillars.</p>
+<h2>ANCIENT RUINS AND HARSH LANDS</h2>
+<p>
+  The world is an ancient and dangerous place: cities and villages are separated
+  by vast plains, scorching deserts, frozen peaks and impenetrable forests. The
+  land is dotted with crumbling fortresses and shrines devoted to deities whose
+  names have been lost to time. Past civilizations and ages of darkness have
+  left behind a world of powerful artifacts and cryptic legends, as well as
+  magical (and often dangerous) places.
+</p>
+<h2>A WORLD IN PERIL</h2>
+<p>
+  Villages, castles, and city-states are among the few areas that aren’t
+  literally crawling with monsters, brigands, and hostile creatures. Far more
+  dangerous still are Villains, powerful antagonists casting their shadow over
+  the entire land. Cruel sorcerers, evil gods seeking reincarnation,
+  power-hungry emperors, perhaps even alien entities: there’s a single,
+  unspeakable terror behind the dangers of the world, and our heroes are bound
+  to cross its path sooner or later.
+</p>
+<h2>CLASHING COMMUNITIES</h2>
+<p>
+  The world may be in danger, but its inhabitants are still divided by ancient
+  grudges: religious schisms, memories of war crimes, and the conflict between
+  magic and science are among the most common causes of enmity. Reuniting these
+  communities will be key to defeating the great evils of the world; the
+  protagonists should help them overcome their hostilities and see their
+  differences as blessings instead of obstacles.
+</p>
+<h2>EVERYTHING HAS A SOUL</h2>
+<p>
+  All matter that forms the world, including its creatures, the earth, sky, sun,
+  and stars are part of a vast flow of spiritual energy. The origin, nature, and
+  function of this energy may vary depending on the world you create, but its
+  presence is undeniable and anyone possessing the ability to manipulate it (be
+  it through magic or science) is a force to be reckoned with.

+<h2>GROUP DYNAMICS</h2>
+<h3>A SAFE PLAY ENVIRONMENT</h3>
+<p>
+  In line with the JRPG genre that inspiration has been drawn from, Fabula
+  Ultima’s tones are heroic and optimistic, despite the occasional presence of
+  tragic or darker scenes — especially when Villains are involved. The general
+  expectation is that scenes will not be particularly gritty or morbidly
+  described, even when death is involved — but since you never know what might
+  hurt the sensibility of the people playing, here is a list of tools and “good
+  practices”.
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Mutual trust and respect.</strong> This should go without saying,
+    but respecting the people you are playing with is key to a good experience —
+    and the same applies to putting your trust in them. Roleplaying games are a
+    highly social activity, and it is perfectly normal for people to get a bit
+    tense and emotional during dramatic moments, but mutual trust and respect
+    are the main foundation for good play. Whatever happens between characters
+    in your story, the people at the table must be good to each other.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong
+      >The game and its fiction must not replace human interaction.</strong
+    >
+    If someone's behavior bothers anyone, that issue must be solved outside the
+    game. There’s nothing wrong with pausing a session to get things sorted and
+    going back to it once you’ve found an agreement. Do not, under any
+    circumstance, use the game as a tool for proving your point or influencing
+    someone's behavior.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Lines and Veils.</strong> These terms were coined by Ron Edwards in
+    Sex and Sorcery, and they are practical safety tools with a history of good
+    results. Before or during the game, you may declare that you are drawing a
+    line or veiling a situation or action.
+    <p></p>
+    <p>
+      When you draw a line, you are saying that you don't want this element in
+      the game. It won't happen, it didn't happen, and your shared story will
+      never talk about that.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      When you veil, you are saying that while the element is present, you don't
+      want it to be expressly depicted or brought into the spotlight. It's still
+      a part of your world and will influence your character's actions, but it
+      will take place "behind the scenes".
+    </p>
+  </li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  These tools are especially useful if you’re playing with people you’ve never
+  met before, but keep them in mind even when you’re with old-time friends.
+  Every single person has something that makes them uncomfortable, sometimes to
+  an unbearable degree — overly detailed descriptions of violence, portrayals of
+  unhealthy relationships, or even something you believe is commonplace but
+  somehow left a scar on them.
+</p>
+<p>
+  When playing the game, one of your duties is to create a safe environment —
+  don’t insist on asking why something made someone uncomfortable: instead, ask
+  them how they’d prefer this type of scene or situation to be handled from now
+  on.

+<h2>PLAYER CHARACTER AGAINST PLAYER CHARACTER</h2>
+<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>
+    <p>
+      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.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      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.
+    </p>
+  </li>
+
+  <li>
+    <p>
+      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.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      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.
+    </p>
+  </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.
+  </li>
+</ul>

+<h1>Secrets</h1>
+<p>
+  It is not uncommon for a Player Character to hide secrets from their
+  companions, be it their past misdeeds or their burning love for an antagonist.
+</p>
+<p>
+  While it's perfectly fine for characters to have secrets, Players should
+  instead keep things transparent and work together to get the most out of the
+  situation.
+</p>
+<p>
+  By telling your group "My character looks like they want to be friends with
+  you, but she actually hates you because of what happened in Galatea" you are
+  empowering everyone at the table, including yourself: now that this facet of
+  your hero is known, it will be possible to build upon it and create drama.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Never forget that this game relies on a collaborative storytelling effort:
+  disclosing your character's secrets means giving your fellow Players a chance
+  to make things interesting — do not think of it as "letting your guard down".
+</p>
+<h2>Leaving the Group</h2>
+<p>
+  There might come a moment when you feel like your character has been fully
+  explored; they have faced their fears, achieved their goals, and found who or
+  what they were looking for, with the campaign not yet reaching its end.
+</p>
+<p>
+  When this happens, you are free to announce that your character will be
+  leaving the group — you should do so between sessions and also come up with a
+  replacement character. Then, at the beginning of the following session,
+  describe your character's epilogue and agree on how and why your new character
+  joins the group.
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    If you want to temporarily retire a character but retain the ability to
+    bring them back later on during the campaign, you should discuss it with the
+    rest of your group.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Whenever a new character (or a previously retired character) joins the
+    group, they should have the same level and XP as the character they are
+    replacing. If the character is a returning character, the Player should
+    briefly describe what they did while away from the rest of the group.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Regardless of how many Player Characters are owned by a Player, that Player
+    may only control a single PC at once. The Game Master has final say on when
+    you can "switch characters"—generally between sessions or after resting in
+    town.
+  </li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  Needless to say, you can only switch to a different character if that
+  character is somewhere nearby or has the means to reach the rest of the group.

+<h1>ABSENT PLAYERS</h1>
+<p>
+  We all have busy lives, and sometimes this means one or more people will be
+  unable to take part in a session.
+</p>
+<p>
+  When this happens, the simplest option is often to reschedule the session for
+  a different date. Just pick another day to meet — in the meantime, you can
+  play another game with whoever is present!
+</p>
+<p>
+  On the other hand, if you are determined to run a session even if one or more
+  participants are absent — and you should do this only if whoever's missing is
+  okay with it — each absent Player chooses one of the following for their
+  character:
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    <strong>I'll join you later.</strong> Your character will remain in town (or
+    somewhere safe) and carry on some kind of task. This is a good chance to
+    gather information, purchase items, and work on Projects. Discuss what your
+    character does with the Game Master.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Your character will join the rest of the group at the beginning of the next
+    session; describe how you got there.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>I'll be in your care.</strong> For this session, your character will
+    be controlled by the rest of the group as a whole (excluding the Game
+    Master). While controlled by the group, your character cannot spend Fabula
+    Points and will automatically surrender if reduced to 0 Hit Points. The Game
+    Master should be cautious when applying consequences to characters belonging
+    to absent Players, and everyone else should do their best to protect them.
+  </li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  Regardless of which option you choose for your character, the following apply:
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    Your character will not gain Fabula Points while absent from a session.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Your character will gain Experience Points as normal at the end of the
+    session. This might cause your character to level up (see
+    <a href="/books/core/#page-226">page 226</a>).
+  </li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  As soon as you take part in a session again, you will be able to gain and
+  spend Fabula Points as normal.
+</p>
+<p>The nature of this world is not one of absolutes.</p>

+<h1>CHAPTER</h1>
+<p>
+  This chapter contains the rules for starting your Fabula Ultima game. Within
+  the following pages you will discover how to create your game world, give your
+  group a core theme, build your very own characters, and finally, begin play
+  with a prologue.
+</p>
+<h2>SESSION ZERO</h2>
+<p>
+  While reading this chapter on your own is an excellent idea, the steps require
+  everyone in your group to be present. This meeting, also known as session
+  zero, is meant to establish the basics of the setting in which your adventures
+  will take place, along with the themes you want to explore and the heroes you
+  will portray.
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    <strong>For the Game Master:</strong> This is a great time to learn about
+    the Player Characters and start thinking about interesting scenarios,
+    locations, and antagonists. Make sure to ask lots of questions and take
+    plenty of notes.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>For the Players:</strong> This is where you cooperate with everyone
+    else to create your very own world and characters. It is a chance to inject
+    it with your own fantasy ideas, be it a particular aesthetic, a magical
+    technology, or a terrifying danger.
+  </li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  Needless to say, there will be many occasions to leave your mark on the world
+  you will create; however, think of this moment as the root of your play
+  experience, from which everything else will grow, evolve, and blossom.
+</p>
+<h2>WAIT, I’VE CHANGED MY MIND!</h2>
+<p>
+  The sections of this chapter are presented in a specific order, but you are
+  free to go back to any step and revise the choices whenever you feel the need.
+  For instance, when creating your character, you might come up with an idea for
+  a cool location and mark it on the world map. Or you could end up with a band
+  of heroes that suits a different type of group from the one you had previously
+  selected.
+</p>
+<p>You are building the foundations of your campaign... take your time!</p>

+<p>
+  Now that you've gathered together, there are a few things to discuss before
+  you begin creating your world and characters. For each topic, read the
+  questions and discuss your choices as a group.
+</p>
+<h2>COMMITMENT AND EXPECTATIONS</h2>
+<p>
+  The first thing you should discuss is the amount of time and effort everyone
+  will be able to dedicate to the game. This will help set expectations and
+  avoid issues later on during play.
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    Will you play for a set amount of sessions, or are you simply going to start
+    playing and see where the story leads you?
+  </li>
+  <li>How often will you play? Weekly, monthly, twice per month?</li>
+  <li>
+    The game is designed around sessions of approximately four hours, but how
+    long do you expect your sessions to be? If your sessions are shorter or
+    longer, remember to check for Experience Points approximately every four
+    hours (see <a href="/books/core/#page-226">page 226</a>).
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    If there are missing Players, will you reschedule the session, or will you
+    play nonetheless? Which solution will you adopt for the missing Players'
+    characters?
+  </li>
+</ul>
+<p>See <a href="/books/core/#page-143">page 143</a> for suggestions.</p>
+<h2>TONE AND THEMES</h2>
+<p>
+  This is a game with a relatively broad scope: depending on the kind of world
+  and characters you create, the campaign's tone and themes can vary quite a
+  bit. Because this is a shared storytelling experience, you need to be on the
+  same page or at least lay a solid foundation — you can always discuss changes
+  later.
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    What kind of tone do you expect during the narration? Would you prefer a
+    heavily dramatic tale dealing with complex situations and emotions, or would
+    you rather tell a fantastical story where good and evil are easily told
+    apart?
+  </li>
+  <li>Are there any themes you strongly wish to explore during play?</li>
+  <li>
+    Will the heroes be best friends from the start, or are you okay with moments
+    of crisis and disagreements within the party? How will you resolve these
+    contrasts?
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    When describing scenes and actions, are you okay with over-the-top anime
+    descriptions or would you prefer a heroic but more fable-like approach?
+  </li>
+</ul>
+<p>See <a href="/books/core/#page-141">page 141</a> for suggestions.</p>
+<h2>BEFORE YOU START</h2>

@@ -0,0 +1,62 @@
+<h2>RULES AND CHALLENGE</h2>
+<p>
+  Much like tone and themes, this game allows you to customize its rules and
+  play it with a varying degree of mechanical challenge and optimization.
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    Are you adopting any of the optional rules presented in the book? Pay
+    special attention to optional rules for conflicts (<a
+      href="/books/core/#page-82"
+      >page 82</a
+    >) and advancement (<a href="/books/core/#page-230">page 230</a>).
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    How "hardcore" do you expect your game experience to be? Are you aiming for
+    mechanical optimization with your characters? Do you expect the Game Master
+    to design extremely challenging adversaries? Or are you here for a relaxing
+    experience that takes minimal focus?
+  </li>
+</ul>
+<h2>SAFETY</h2>
+<p>
+  Roleplaying games tend to get us emotionally and personally involved. It's
+  their beauty, but it also leaves us vulnerable. Make sure to discuss whatever
+  descriptions, situations, scenes, and story elements might make you
+  uncomfortable. Everyone should indicate any lines and veils (<a
+    href="/books/core/#page-140"
+    >page 140</a
+  >) that they want to apply during sessions; it can be a good idea to handle
+  this anonymously to preserve the privacy of the participants.
+</p>
+<p>In particular, you should make sure to discuss:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    <strong>The depiction of violence.</strong> By default, Fabula Ultima
+    expects little elements of gore and blood: much like in classic JRPGs, death
+    is portrayed as a character kneeling or vanishing in a cloud of spiritual
+    particles — but still talk about the kind of scenes and descriptions people
+    are okay with.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>The nature of evil.</strong> Story elements such as mind control,
+    the persecution of a minority, or violent imperialism are all common tropes
+    in tabletop games, but for some, they are very real and tangible threats.
+    Strive to make sure the game is a safe space.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Romances, relationships, and sexuality.</strong> These elements are
+    another trope of JRPG stories, which often feature romances between main
+    characters. Discuss if people are comfortable with this and exactly to what
+    degree.
+  </li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  As you play the game, you will probably reconsider some of your previous
+  decisions. When this happens, talk about it with the group and find a new
+  agreement.
+</p>
+<p>
+  <strong>Remember:</strong> you win roleplaying games by creating a memorable
+  story and having a great time together!

+<h1>WORLD CREATION</h1>
+<p>
+  Your first step is the shared creation of the game world (also known as a
+  “setting”) in which your characters’ adventures will take place. This process
+  involves both the Game Master and the Players and provides everyone with a
+  strong foundation for heroes, antagonists, creatures, and events.
+</p>
+<p>You will need the world sheet and the map sheet.</p>
+<p>
+  The flowchart on the next page describes the world creation process. If you
+  want, give your setting a name: even something as simple as Earth, Gaia or The
+  Planet will work fine... we do the same in our real world, after all!
+</p>
+<p>
+  As explained on <a href="/books/core/#page-14">page 14</a>, all Fabula Ultima
+  worlds share some core elements — the Eight Pillars. When creating your
+  setting, keep those elements in mind! Pay special attention to the following:
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Souls.</strong> Everything living and unliving is connected by the
+    stream of souls. Some worlds might feature machinery fueled by soul energy,
+    while in other settings, spiritual corruption might give birth to monstrous
+    creatures.<br /><em
+      >Discuss what people generally know about souls in your world.</em
+    >
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Conflicts and struggles.</strong> The cultures populating your world
+    haven’t been able to unite themselves under a single banner. Their motives
+    can range from centuries-old rivalries, ideological or religious strife,
+    misunderstandings, perhaps even the cruelties of one nation against the
+    other. Drawing inspiration from the real world can be a good idea, as it is
+    (unfortunately) rife with turmoil and injustice.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>A fantastical, diverse world.</strong> When creating your setting,
+    you shouldn’t concern yourself with realism, verisimilitude, or historical
+    accuracy. A city-state inspired by ancient Greece might be bordering with a
+    flying fortress, guarded by warriors clad in Song Dynasty-style armor and
+    practicing a form of alchemy similar to that of the Italian Renaissance.<br /><em
+      >What really matters is for each location's appearance to reflect the
+      themes and emotions it will embody within your story.</em
+    >
+  </li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  The flowchart presents the world creation steps in a more intuitive order, but
+  you’re always free to go back and make adjustments when needed.
+</p>
+<p>
+  The most important part is that everyone can share ideas freely. Whenever a
+  step states that “each person should contribute an element”, that doesn’t mean
+  they must come up with it entirely on their own: as with any other aspect of
+  this game, dialogue and communication are key to a good experience!

+<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. 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. 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. 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. 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>
+<h2>Magic and Technology (roll a d20 or choose)</h2>
+<p>
+  Below are 20 potential concepts for magic and technology that can influence

+  <li><strong>8.</strong> Technology is an offense to the gods.</li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>9.</strong> The world is a science-fiction dystopia where magic is
+    experimented on.
+  </li>
+  <li><strong>10.</strong> Magic is a gift from the gods.</li>
+  <li><strong>11.</strong> Magic comes from another dimension.</li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>12.</strong> There are parts of the world where no people are born
+    who can use magic.
+  </li>
+  <li><strong>13.</strong> Airships revolutionized travel and war.</li>
+  <li><strong>14.</strong> Magic is largely a forbidden art.</li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>15.</strong> Spellcasters are trained in academies and then hired by
+    nobles.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>16.</strong> Steam engines are commonplace and great golems join
+    armies in battle.
+  </li>
+  <li><strong>17.</strong> In the past, the world was almost destroyed.</li>
+  <li><strong>18.</strong> Magic was taught by dragons.</li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>19.</strong> Monsters are born from the restless souls of the dead.
+  </li>
+  <li><strong>20.</strong> Magic comes from ancient crystals.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  <em
+    >All these options can be applied to the entire world or to a specific
+    nation or region. For instance, steam engines might be a common sight in one
+    continent and reviled as heresy by a neighbouring country, or magic might be
+    an ancient art in one region and a recent discovery somewhere else.</em

+<h2>Group Creation</h2>
+<p>
+  Unlike the creation process for your game world, group creation isn't
+  particularly structured — in fact, it’s mostly about establishing the
+  fundamental themes of your early adventures. When you select a group type, you
+  are saying “Hey, this is how we want to explore the world we just created —
+  we’d really like our shared story to mostly focus on these aspects of it.”
+</p>
+<p>
+  Additionally, your choice of group will inform the kind of heroes you will
+  make during the next step of session zero. Don’t take it as a restriction:
+  instead, see it as a useful reference to go back to whenever you are unsure
+  about your character concepts.
+</p>
+<p>
+  You can even give your group a name — such as the
+  <strong>Brotherhood of the Griffin</strong> or the
+  <strong>Queenshields</strong>.
+</p>
+<p>
+  If you are the Game Master, treat this step as a precious opportunity to learn
+  what kind of situations, stories, and antagonists everyone is excited about!
+</p>
+<h2>BROUGHT TOGETHER BY FATE</h2>
+<p>
+  You find yourselves working together because of the circumstances. Despite
+  this being a common trope in classic fantasy tales, it is actually the most
+  difficult to pull off since your group will lack a precise goal: you must work
+  with each other during play to build a web of relationships (Bonds become
+  incredibly important).
+</p>
+<p>
+  If you choose this premise, it may be a good idea to switch to a different
+  type of group once your characters have developed a common goal.
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>What emotional or familial connections exist between your characters?</li>
+  <li>
+    Have your characters met in the past? Are there any tensions or rivalries?
+  </li>
+  <li>What do you have in common? Beliefs, enemies, past experiences?</li>
+</ul>
+<h2>GUARDIANS</h2>
+<p>
+  One of the Player Characters is a Chosen One, a person tasked with a mission
+  that could change the very fate of the world. Everyone else in your group has
+  sworn, by duty or by choice, to protect the Chosen One during their travels.
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    What bonds, ties or rivalries exist between each guardian and the Chosen
+    One?
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    What is your mission? Who gave it to you? Do the authorities approve of it?
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Why does the Chosen One need protection? Who or what threatens their
+    mission?
+  </li>

+<h1>CHAPTER HEROES OF THE RESISTANCE</h1>
+<p>
+  You are the last line of defense against a terrible power, a darkness that
+  threatens to envelop the known world — such as a power-hungry kingdom or an
+  oppressive empire. The fate of many lies within your hands.
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    Why is this daunting task up to you? Have you fought against this enemy

+  <li>Who are the most infamous among the enemy leaders and followers?</li>
+</ul>
+<h2>REVOLUTIONARIES</h2>
+<p>
+  You form a small force that fights tooth and nail against a dominant power: it
+  might be a tyrannical government, a military occupation, or even a ruthless
+  industrial company. Society and security forces probably consider you
+  criminals or terrorists.

+  <li>
+    Which factions promised you their help? Which factions might oppose you?
+  </li>
+  <li>What are your enemies’ crimes, and why is no one else opposing them?</li>
+</ul>
+<h2>SEEKERS</h2>
+<p>
+  You are desperately searching for someone or something — a powerful witch, an
+  ancient relic, a legendary location, or even a long-lost technological marvel.
+  What you seek is the world’s last hope, or at least, you think it is.
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    What is it you are trying to prevent or remedy? What are you looking for?
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    What do you know of your mission? Who or what gave you this information?
+  </li>
+  <li>Who doesn't want you to find what you seek?</li>

+<h1>CHARACTER CREATION</h1>
+<p>
+  Grab some blank character sheets because it is time to create Player
+  Characters!
+</p>
+<p>
+  While this might look like something you can do on your own, it is actually
+  better for all participants (Game Master included) to go through this step
+  together: while each hero belongs to the person controlling them, these
+  characters are destined to be adventuring together, which means they should
+  have some “chemistry” from the very beginning!
+</p>
+<p>
+  Character Creation is presented as a series of steps, similarly to World
+  Creation; you are not, however, bound to take these steps in this exact order.
+  You can go back and modify your choices anytime during the process.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Characters are normally created at level 5; see
+  <a href="/books/core/#page-229">page 229</a> for higher-level PCs.
+</p>
+<h2>Character Creation Steps</h2>
+<ol>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Identity:</strong> Choose or create your character's Identity: a
+    short sentence that briefly summarizes how they see themselves at the
+    moment.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Theme:</strong> Choose or create your character's Theme: a strong
+    ideal, emotion or feeling that dominates your character's actions.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Origin:</strong> Choose or create your character's Origin: the place
+    they hail from. You may select a location on your world sheet or add a new
+    one.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Classes and Levels:</strong> Choose two or three Classes and
+    distribute your initial five levels among them. Take note of the free
+    benefits and Skills gained.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Attributes:</strong> Determine the base die size of your character's
+    four Attribute scores: <em>Dexterity, Insight, Might,</em> and
+    <em>Willpower</em>.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Calculations:</strong> Calculate your starting Hit Points, Mind
+    Points, Inventory Points, Defense, Magic Defense, and Initiative modifier.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Equipment/Savings:</strong> Use a starting budget of 500 zenit to
+    purchase equipment, then add any leftovers to a roll of 2d6 &times; 10 to
+    determine initial savings.
+  </li>
+</ol>
+<p>Describe your character and choose their name and pronouns!</p>

+<h1>CREATE YOUR IDENTITY</h1>
+<p>
+  This is your first step, and to say it will influence each and every following
+  choice would be an understatement. Your character’s Identity is a short
+  sentence that quickly summarizes how they currently see themselves.
+</p>
+<p>
+  When you create your Identity, keep an eye on the list of available Classes
+  (see <a href="/books/core/#page-160">page 160</a>) and make sure there is a
+  combination of two or three Classes that fits your Identity. If you really
+  can’t find what you need, try adjusting your Identity and adapting it to fit
+  one of the available combinations.
+</p>
+<p>Here are a few examples of good identities:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>Royal Knight.</li>
+  <li>Queen of the Desert Thieves.</li>
+  <li>Battle Priestess of the Old Faith.</li>
+  <li>Warrior Princess of the Moon People.</li>
+  <li>Elderly Amnesiac Sorcerer.</li>
+  <li>Former Imperial Strategist.</li>
+  <li>Freedom-fighting Brawler.</li>
+  <li>Magitech Scientist.</li>
+  <li>Tormented Veteran.</li>
+  <li>One-eyed Samurai.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  Keep in mind that you can invoke your Identity to give yourself an edge when
+  making Checks: pick something that will prove useful in play.
+</p>
+<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!
+</p>
+<h2>Example: Robert is creating his first character.</h2>
+<p>
+  Previously, he and the rest of her group worked on their game world: a land in
+  early industrial development, where magic is tied to family bloodlines.
+</p>
+<p>
+  They are going to be heroes of the resistance, fighting against a
+  technological empire that seeks to imprison anyone who can channel magic.
+  Robert’s character, Camilla, is going to be the (supposedly) last surviving
+  member of Platea's royal dynasty.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Contrary to her older brothers and sisters, Camilla never developed any
+  magical ability: however, she has been trained as a knight and diplomat.
+</p>
+<p>Camilla's Identity is going to be “The Last Princess of Platea”.</p>
+<p>
+  While talking with the rest of her group, Robert points out that he’s open to
+  Camilla discovering her “latent magical powers” over the course of the game.

+<h1>CHOOSE OR CREATE YOUR THEME</h1>
+<p>
+  Each Player Character in Fabula Ultima is defined by a primary Theme, a strong
+  ideal or emotion driving their actions and choices. If you had to build an
+  entire scene around your character, their Theme would be its dominant focus.
+</p>
+<p>
+  If this is your first character, it is strongly suggested that you pick your
+  Theme from the list below. Otherwise, you can create something new and unique:
+  discuss this choice with the rest of your group and make sure it creates
+  interesting situations.
+</p>
+<p>
+  When you choose a Theme, describe how it applies to your character — what is
+  their Ambition? What Duty are they bound by? Who will be the target of their
+  Vengeance?
+</p>
+<h2>Suggested Themes</h2>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Ambition</strong>: You strive to prove your worth to yourself and/or
+    others.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Anger</strong>: You are a ticking bomb, always on the brink of rage.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Belonging</strong>: You are afraid of being alone, forgotten or
+    abandoned.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Doubt</strong>: You need to find the answer to a burning question.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Duty</strong>: You live to fulfill a promise you made or obey an
+    order you received.
+  </li>
+  <li><strong>Guilt</strong>: You wish to atone for your past mistakes.</li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Hope</strong>: You seek a better world for yourself and/or others.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Justice</strong>: You always side with the weak and defenseless.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Mercy</strong>: You wish to help others, regardless of their past
+    misdeeds.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Vengeance</strong>: You seek to bring retribution upon someone or
+    something.
+  </li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  Just like with your Identity, pick something that will prove useful in play,
+  and remember that you will be able to change your Theme over the course of the
+  game.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Vengeance could be a fitting Theme for Camilla, but Robert doesn’t want her to
+  be consumed by bitterness and a grudge. The young hero's true goal is to
+  create a land where her people can live in accordance with their customs and
+  traditions, which the Empire has outlawed: therefore, Camilla's Theme will be
+  Hope.

+<h1>CHOOSE OR CREATE YOUR ORIGIN</h1>
+<p>
+  All heroes come from somewhere: this is their Origin. It might be a humble
+  village, a great city, or even something more fantastical such as a palace in
+  the depths of the ocean, the Moon’s surface, or an entirely different solar
+  system.
+</p>
+<p>
+  You may pick a location that is already present on the map sheet or create a
+  new one. Just like your Identity and Theme, your Origin may be invoked to
+  reroll one or both dice during a Check. However, you will normally be unable
+  to change your Origin in play — unless you suddenly discover you come from an
+  entirely different place and your memories are fake, which is a fantasy trope
+  as well.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Robert came up with the concept for Platea while creating Camilla; because of
+  this, Platea must be added to the map sheet. Robert chooses an area in the
+  South and describes Platea as a once-peaceful and bright citadel atop a cliff
+  overseeing a vast lake. Right now, the city has been seized by the Empire.
+</p>
+<p>
+  In Fabula Ultima, your character's species and heritage has no mechanical
+  impact unless you want it to — perhaps their Identity is that of a Fallen
+  Elven Prince, or some of their Class Skills can be explained as a consequence
+  of their unique anatomy or bloodline.

+  story.

+<h2>HIGH FANTASY THEMES AND PROTAGONISTS</h2>
+<p>
+  High fantasy stories often revolve around themes such as hope, friendship, and
+  fighting together against supernatural and world-ending threats.
+</p>
+<p>Their protagonists often come from many different backgrounds:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>The princess who lost her kingdom to the antagonist's army.</li>
+  <li>The veteran soldier who pledged to protect the people with her life.</li>
+  <li>The young, inexperienced hero from a remote village.</li>
+  <li>The dashing sky pirate with a heart of gold.</li>
+  <li>
+    The old wizard mentor who spent his life searching for a legendary spell.
+  </li>
+  <li>The dark knight seeking redemption for his crimes.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  Together they must overcome their differences and disagreements, forging
+  strong bonds that will allow them to save the world from a terrible fate.

+Every Class provides the following information:

+  <li>
+    A short description of the Class, covering its general role and premise.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    A list of questions 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

+    A list of free benefits that your character will gain simply by acquiring

+    Whenever you invest a level in a Class, you acquire one of its Skills; any

+<h1>Attribute Dice Mechanics</h1>
+<p>
+  Each of a Player Character’s main Attributes (Dexterity, Insight, Might, and
+  Willpower) is represented by a die size, from a minimum of d6 to a maximum of
+  d12.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Bigger die sizes indicate a more trained Attribute or a stronger natural
+  talent.
+</p>
+<h2>Attributes Defined</h2>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Dexterity</strong> measures precision, coordination, finesse and
+    reflexes.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Insight</strong> represents observation, understanding and
+    reasoning.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Might</strong> is a measure of strength, resilience and physical
+    fortitude.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Willpower</strong> represents determination, charisma and the
+    ability to influence others.
+  </li>
+</ul>
+<h2>Character Profile Selection</h2>
+<p>
+  Choose one of the following profiles for your hero, then distribute the
+  corresponding die sizes among their four Attributes (on your character sheet,
+  these should be written in the “base size” column).
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li><strong>Jack of All Trades:</strong> d8, d8, d8, d8</li>
+  <li><strong>Average:</strong> d10, d8, d8, d6</li>
+  <li><strong>Specialized:</strong> d10, d10, d6, d6</li>
+</ul>
+<p><strong>Example Application:</strong></p>
+<p>
+  Camilla is very insightful (Insight d10), fairly agile and determined
+  (Dexterity d8 and Willpower d8), but not particularly imposing (Might d6).

+<h2>CHAPTER CALCULATE YOUR HIT POINTS AND MIND POINTS</h2>
+<p>
+  Your maximum <strong>Hit Points</strong> and <strong>Mind Points</strong> are
+  calculated as follows:
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    Your maximum Hit Points are equal to your total character level + five times
+    your character’s base Might die size.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Your Crisis score is equal to half your maximum Hit Points, rounded down.
+  </li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  Your maximum Mind Points are equal to your total character level + five times
+  your character’s base Willpower die size.
+</p>
+<p>Your character begins the game with full Hit Points and Mind Points.</p>
+<p>
+  These values may be further modified by your character’s choices of Class,
+  Skills and equipment.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Note that while some game elements might temporarily alter the die size of
+  your Attributes, this will never increase or decrease your Hit Points and Mind
+  Points.
+</p>
+<h3>Example Calculation</h3>
+<p>
+  Camilla has 40 maximum Hit Points (level 5 + five times her Might of 6 + an
+  additional 5 Hit Points granted by the Weaponmaster Class) and 50 maximum Mind
+  Points (level 5 + five times her Willpower of 8 + an additional 5 Mind Points
+  granted by the Orator Class).
+</p>
+<p>Camilla's Crisis score is 20.</p>
+<h2>CALCULATE YOUR INVENTORY POINTS</h2>
+<p>Your maximum Inventory Points are calculated as follows:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>Your maximum Inventory Points are equal to 6.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Your character begins the game with full Inventory Points.</p>
+<p>
+  Note that this number may be further modified by your character’s choices of
+  Class, Skills and equipment.

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

+  Your defenses will be further influenced by the armor and shields you are

+</p>
+<p>
+  Note that some game elements might temporarily alter your Attribute die sizes,
+  which will affect your Defense and Magic Defense (since these are based on the
+  current Attribute die size, not your base Attribute die size).
+</p>
+<p>
+  Camilla has a Defense score of 8, a Magic Defense score of 10 and no
+  Initiative modifier. Later on, her equipment choices will modify these
+  numbers.
+</p>
+<h2>PURCHASE STARTING EQUIPMENT</h2>
+<p>
+  You get a total budget of 500 zenit to purchase equipment with. By default,
+  you can only purchase basic weapons and basic armor and shields; these items
+  are listed on the next four pages for easy reference. If you want to purchase
+  rare items (<a href="/books/core/#page-266">page 266</a>) or transports (<a
+    href="/books/core/#page-125"
+    >page 125</a

+</p>
+<p>
+  To purchase a martial (E) item, you must first be able to equip it — a benefit
+  granted by specific Classes:
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Darkblade</strong> allows you to equip martial melee weapons and
+    martial armor.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Fury</strong> allows you to equip martial melee weapons and martial
+    armor.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Guardian</strong> allows you to equip martial armor and martial
+    shields.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Sharpshooter</strong> allows you to equip martial ranged weapons and
+    martial shields.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <strong>Weaponmaster</strong> allows you to equip martial melee weapons and
+    martial shields.
+  </li>
+</ul>

+  Write any items you purchase on your sheet and take note of their effects;
+  remember that ranged weapons do not require you to track ammunition.

+<h2>CHAPTER</h2>
+<h3>The Weaponmaster Class</h3>
+<p>
+  The Weaponmaster Class allows Camilla to equip martial melee weapons and
+  shields.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Robert spends 200 zenit on a rapier (which relies on Camilla's Dexterity and
+  Insight), 150 zenit on a runic shield (a +2 bonus to both defenses is very
+  good!) and another 100 zenit on a travel garb.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Robert writes all these items on Camilla's sheet, noting how her armor and
+  shield increase Defense and Magic Defense by three points (Defense 11 and
+  Magic Defense 13) but also give her an Initiative modifier of -1.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Needless to say, you are free to alter the name of any item that doesn't fit
+  your character's concept — for instance, your bronze sword might become a
+  scimitar or your silk vest might become a kimono.
+</p>
+<p>
+  If none of the basic weapon options fit your character concept and your group
+  is okay with it, you may use the rules for creating rare weapons found on page
+  268. However, remember that by default, starting weapons don't have any
+  Quality and always deal physical damage. You may ignore one or both
+  limitations as long as the rest of your group agrees on it (and you have
+  enough zenit to afford the improvements).
+</p>
+<h2>ROLL FOR INITIAL SAVINGS</h2>
+<p>
+  Your character begins play with an amount of zenit equal to 2d6 × 10 (for
+  instance, rolling an 8 on the dice means you begin with 80 zenit).
+</p>
+<p>
+  Any left-over zenit from the previous step is added to these initial savings!
+</p>
+<p>
+  Robert rolls 2d6 × 10 and gets 60 zenit, which are added to the 50 zenit left
+  from the previous step — for a total of 120 zenit in initial savings.
+</p>
+<h2>GAIN YOUR STARTING FABULA POINTS</h2>
+<p>Each Player Character enters play with 3 Fabula Points.</p>

+<p>
+  The weapons, armors, and shields you choose during character creation will
+  accompany you for quite a few levels, so make sure they work well with the way
+  you built your character.
+</p>
+<h2>Useful Tips</h2>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    Choose a main weapon that complements your choice of Attributes. Ideally,
+    you want to be able to roll at least 1d10 + 1d8 for Accuracy. More accurate
+    weapons, such as swords and daggers, can compensate for low Attributes.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Even if your character tends to rely on spells, purchase a weapon for them
+    to use when low on Mind Points — a dagger, a staff, or a tome.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    While lighter armors increase your Defense score (which would otherwise be
+    equal to your Dexterity size), martial (E) armors replace that score with a
+    fixed value. This can make quite the difference: even if you have a low
+    Dexterity or suffer a status effect, your Defense score will not be
+    affected.
+  </li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  The bonus to Defenses granted by shields still applies, of course: a character
+  with d8 Dexterity wearing a brigandine and wielding a bronze shield will have
+  a Defense score of 12, for instance.

+<h2>HIGH FANTASY LOCATIONS</h2>
+<p>
+  Every location in a high fantasy world has some magical element to it: a
+  floating castle inside a volcano, a silver palace orbiting the moon, a forest
+  populated by fairies and natural spirits, a great tower built to reach the
+  gods and destroyed over a single night as a form of divine punishment.
+  Everything is bizarre and wondrous.
+</p>
+<h2>HIGH FANTASY MAGIC</h2>
+<p>
+  Magic is abundant, omnipresent, and employed in a variety of ways and by a
+  variety of people, from powerful court wizards to traveling healers. Golems,
+  airships, and elementally-infused weapons are a common sight. However, the
+  most ancient and world-altering rituals have been lost to time, hidden within
+  sunken ruins or guarded by centuries-old monsters.
+</p>
+<h2>HIGH FANTASY ANTAGONISTS</h2>
+<p>
+  In a high fantasy world, antagonists are larger-than-life figures with armies
+  and incredible magic at their disposal. Each of them is a dark and twisted
+  reflection of one or more of the protagonists: they are shadows that must be
+  confronted for the heroes to grow and eventually triumph. Towards the end of
+  the story, driven into a corner by the protagonists' actions, high fantasy
+  villains often resort to extreme measures and transform into divine or demonic
+  entities that defy space and time.

+<h1>NAME AND FINISHING TOUCHES</h1>
+<p>
+  Give your character a name, note their pronoun(s), and briefly describe what
+  they look like to the rest of the group!
+</p>
+<p>
+  It may seem counterintuitive for this step to be the last one, but there’s a
+  good reason: it’s easier to choose a name once you have a good grasp of your
+  character's appearance and abilities.
+</p>
+<p>
+  On the next page, you can find a chart with a variety of names that work
+  particularly well for a Fabula Ultima game; however, if your world is inspired
+  by specific folklore or mythology, you should research fitting naming
+  conventions and come up with something more appropriate!
+</p>
+<p>
+  Now that Camilla is ready, Robert describes her to the rest of the group: she
+  has greyish brown hair and deep blue eyes, and her demeanor showcases her
+  strong will — it's almost impossible to be around her and not feel inspired!
+</p>
+<p>
+  Her clothes are light and comfortable, perfect for traveling, and she fights
+  with an elegant rapier and a small elbow shield inscribed with a circle of
+  defensive runes.

+  Arcanists can fall into a deep trance and temporarily project a considerable

+  belonging to mythical entities of legend, known as the Arcana.
+</p>
+<p>In some worlds, the Arcana are even worshipped as deities.</p>

+<h2>Arcanist Free Benefits</h2>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Permanently increase your maximum Mind Points by 5.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2>Arcanist Skills</h2>
+
+<h3>ARCANE CIRCLE (✦4)</h3>
+<p>
+  After you willingly dismiss an Arcanum on your turn during a conflict (see
+  next page), if that Arcanum had not been summoned during this same turn and
+  you have an arcane weapon equipped, you may immediately perform the Spell
+  action for free. The spell you cast this way must have a total Mind Point cost
+  of【 SL × 5】 or lower (you must still pay the spell's MP cost).
+</p>
+<h3>ARCANE REGENERATION (✦2)</h3>
+<p>
+  When you summon an Arcanum, you immediately recove【r SL × 5】 Hit Points.
+</p>
+<h3>BIND AND SUMMON</h3>
+<p>
+  You may bind Arcana to your soul and summon them later. The Game Master will
+  tell you the details of each binding process when you first encounter the
+  Arcanum in question.
+</p>
+<p>
+  You may use an action and spend 40 Mind Points to summon an Arcanum you have
+  bound: the details of this process are explained on the next page. If you take
+  this Skill at character creation, you begin play with one Arcanum of your
+  choice already bound to you, chosen from the list on the next pages. Other
+  than that, you may only obtain new Arcana through exploration and story
+  progression.
+</p>
+<h3>EMERGENCY ARCANUM (✦6)</h3>
+<p>
+  As long as you are in Crisis, the cost for summoning your Arcana is reduced
+  by【 SL × 5】 Mind Points.
+</p>
+<h3>RITUAL ARCANISM</h3>
+<p>
+  You may perform Rituals of the Arcanism discipline, as long as their effects
+  fall within the domains of one or more Arcana you have bound (see next pages).
+  Arcanism Rituals use【 WLP + WLP】 for the Magic Check.

+<h2>The Arcana</h2>
+
+<h3>MERGING WITH AN ARCANUM</h3>
+<p>
+  When you summon an Arcanum, you gain its merge benefits; those benefits last
+  until the Arcanum is dismissed (see below).
+</p>
+<p>
+  You cannot summon an Arcanum while already merged with one; you must first
+  dismiss the current Arcanum.
+</p>
+
+<h3>DISMISSING AN ARCANUM</h3>
+<p>An Arcanum can be dismissed in several ways:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>Once the current scene ends, all Arcana are automatically dismissed.</li>
+  <li>
+    If you die or fall unconscious while merged with an Arcanum, they are
+    dismissed.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    If you leave the scene while merged with an Arcanum, they are dismissed.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    You may willingly dismiss your Arcanum: this doesn't require an action, but
+    during a conflict it can only be done on your turn, before or after an
+    action.
+  </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>DISMISS EFFECTS</h3>
+<p>
+  Most Arcana have a powerful dismiss effect, which may only be activated when
+  you willingly dismiss the Arcanum as described above — if the Arcanum is
+  dismissed for any other reason, the dismiss effect cannot be triggered.
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    If the dismiss effect of an Arcanum deals damage, it will deal 10 extra
+    damage if you are level 20 or higher, or 20 extra damage if you are level 40
+    or higher.
+  </li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  You are also free to ignore the dismiss effect if you don't want to use it.
+</p>
+
+<h3>DOMAINS</h3>
+<p>
+  Each Arcanum is associated with a few key concepts or domains. The Game Master
+  should use these to establish the trials needed to bind the Arcanum, and to
+  adjudicate Rituals performed through the Ritual Arcanism Skill.
+</p>
+<p>
+  If you create new Arcana for your world, make sure to associate them with
+  domains that allow for interesting Rituals.

+  of mysterious past civilizations that once ruled this world of Natural
+  Fantasy.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Tales of natural fantasy often revolve around warmth and community, harmony

+  people grow so dark that they twist and corrupt the very places they live in.
+</p>
+<p>Their protagonists are often very young and come from the same village:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>The daughter of the village chief, seeking to prove her worth.</li>
+  <li>The apprentice blacksmith who saw a terrible creature in the forest.</li>
+  <li>The young hermit who stumbled upon the entrance to a magical ruin.</li>
+  <li>The witch who knows of a prophecy dating back to the Ancestors.</li>
+  <li>The wandering warrior who mistakenly angered a local spirit.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+  Together they must mend the hearts of their community and confront those who

+<h1>Chimerist</h1>
+
+<blockquote>Power without harmony will only lead to suffering.</blockquote>
+
+<p>Also: Druid, Shapeshifter, Wild Mage</p>
+
+<p>
+  Chimerists gather their power from the souls of the monsters and beasts they
+  encounter. By manipulating their inner wild energy, these mages may mimic the
+  magical abilities of monsters and have reached a supernatural understanding of
+  feral creatures. Chimerists frequently rely on their toughness and physical
+  prowess in addition to magic; they are often seen traveling the world in
+  search of rare and enchanted creatures.

+<h2>CHIMERIST SKILLS</h2>
+
+<h3>CONSUME (✦5)</h3>
+<p>
+  After you deal damage to one or more creatures with a spell, if you have an
+  arcane dagger or flail weapon equipped, you recover
+  <strong>【SL × 2】</strong> Mind Points.
+</p>
+
+<h3>FERAL SPEECH</h3>
+<p>
+  You can communicate with creatures of the beast, monster and plant Species.
+</p>
+
+<h3>PATHOGENESIS</h3>
+<p>
+  When you deal damage to one or more creatures with one of your Chimerist
+  spells, each of those creatures that share their Species with the creature you
+  originally learned that spell from suffers poisoned.
+</p>
+
+<h3>RITUAL CHIMERISM</h3>
+<p>
+  You may perform Rituals whose effects fall within the Chimerism discipline.
+  When you acquire this Skill, choose <strong>【INS + WLP】</strong> or
+  <strong>【MIG + WLP】</strong>. From now on, your Chimerism Rituals will use
+  the chosen Attributes for the Magic Check.
+</p>
+
+<h3>SPELL MIMIC (✦10)</h3>
+<p>
+  When you see a creature belonging to the beast, monster or plant Species cast
+  a spell, you may immediately choose to learn that spell as a Chimerist spell
+  of your own: if you do, record the Species of the creature you learned it
+  from.
+</p>
+<p>
+  When you first acquire this Skill, choose <strong>【INS + WLP】</strong> or
+  <strong>【MIG + WLP】</strong>. From now on, your offensive (rr) Chimerist
+  spells will use the chosen Attributes for the Magic Check, regardless of the
+  Attributes used by the creature you learned the spell from.
+</p>
+<p>
+  You may have up to <strong>【SL + 2】</strong> different Chimerist spells
+  memorized this way. If you want to memorize a new Chimerist spell but are
+  already at your limit, you must forget one of your old spells and replace it
+  with the new spell.

+<blockquote>Today you shall know the full extent of my suffering.</blockquote>
+
+<p>Also: Avenger, Black Knight, Death Knight</p>
+
+<p>
+  Darkblades are somber and powerful warriors who hide a sorrowful past. Due to

+<p>
+  An unlikely hero to say the very least, a Darkblade may now sacrifice their
