Shadow, Sword & Spell Character Creation Example with Conversion

Shadow, Sword and Spell

A straight out humanistic Sword & Sorcery game that you can easily FATEalise. It actually has Aspects and Fate Points directly…Hooks and Action Points. Hooks and Action Points get you additions to rolls, or rerolls.

Skills are based on the Abilities with a maximum of 12, as this is the 12 Degrees System after all. You get 35 Ability Points and 45 Skill Points (cost increasing at certain levels, first three cost 1). Skill are based on an Abilty and to get them as Trained costs the Base Rank, or the Ability.

Therefore, we’ll take a Hyborian age nogoodnik, a tall, womanly bruiser.
There is also a defined culture background element, and from Shadizar the Wicked? We’ll call that Civilised and Decadent.
