What is Ebon Fantasy?
Ebon Fantasy applies modern RPG concepts to the classic fantasy system, creating a game that's new and familiar at the same time. Characters have the traditional attributes, along with "kindreds" (races), classes, levels, hit points, and familiar mechanics. To these, however, we've added modern mechanics:
- Traits: represent specific abilities within the games. Classes and Kindreds give characters bundles of traits, and then can gain advancements allowing them to gain additional traits as they level up.
- Backgrounds: in addition to Kindred, which represents their species, characters have backgrounds that represent things they learned as they grew up. Backgrounds can be specific to cultures, allowing greater customization of the game world.
- Specialties: instead of subclasses or additional classes, Ebon Fantasy has specialties which grant additional traits extending your class. You can gain traits from other specialties as you advance - you're never locked into a particular path.
- Effects: outcomes of actions are represented in the game as effects, with a strength and a description.
- Mental and Social Combat: characters have Mental Defense and Mental Resilience, allowing the general combat rules to be applied to debates, arguments, persuasion attempts, and so forth.
Essence gives you a complete set of rules for characters of levels 1 to 10, with a sampling of kindreds, backgrounds, and class specializations.
Give it a try - we think you'll like it!
