⚡ Core System Strengths
Five-Ability Elegance
No complex skill lists or overwhelming options. Acrobatics, Physical, Fortitude, Will, and Wits cover every situation while maintaining tactical depth.
Action Cards: Automate To Keep The Action Moving

- Themed Combat - Custom visuals and descriptions for immersive encounters
- Smart Targeting - Automatic damage and status application with GM oversight
- Perfect for Spells & Abilities - Create reusable, consistent magical effects
Dynamic Character System

Creativity Matters
As a GM I find myself wanting to run by what is happening: in the moment, changing things as needed and applying effects as they happen. This system is meant to encourage such creativity. Your imagination is the limit given the numberous yet user friendly options for modifying characters. Have a cool idea for something that you'd like to see implemented? Share it in our Github or, better yet, extend the code since its LGPL. Want to know how to use the system for yourself? Check our documentation available through github and you'll see guides to using it.
