<h1>GAME RULES</h1>

|
<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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>How Villains Receive Ultima Points</h3>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt>Minor (5)</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Enemy commanders, unique and infamous monsters, and antagonists causing
|
|
trouble in small settlements.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>Major (10)</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Tyrants, powerful mages, legendary creatures, and entities that threaten
|
|
entire countries.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>Supreme (15)</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Archdemons, immortal entities, and alien deities bent on destruction or
|
|
domination.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<h2>SPENDING ULTIMA POINTS</h2>
|
|
<p>A Villain has three options for spending Ultima Points:</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt>Escape (1 Point)</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
A Villain may spend 1 Ultima Point to safely leave the scene — the Game
|
|
Master describes how they do so, perhaps leaving a few henchmen behind to
|
|
"keep the heroes company".
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>Invoke Trait (1 Point)</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
After performing a Check, a Villain may spend 1 Ultima Point to invoke one
|
|
of their Traits and reroll one or both dice (this follows the same rules
|
|
seen on page 46).
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>Recovery (1 Point)</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
A Villain may use an action and spend 1 Ultima Point to recover from all
|
|
status effects and also recover 50 Mind Points.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
While Player Characters can gain Fabula Points in several ways, Villains
|
|
cannot recharge their Ultima Points — in a way, they represent the Villain's
|
|
determination and will to pursue their objectives. A Villain with no
|
|
remaining Ultima Points is no longer a Villain and becomes equivalent to any
|
|
other NPC; alternatively, they may choose to escalate (see next page).
