Why use the SagaBorn D100 system?

• While SagaBorn uses the core skill system of BRP (Basic Roleplaying), it has incorporated many unique elements from our old system to make our fantasy world fit within the game. SagaBorn is based in the world of Atheles, a world ravaged by war and left in a dark age for many centuries. When magic recently returned, it shifted the power systems, and once again, the world is facing the same power struggles and destruction that happened in past ages. There are also rifts opening to another universe, allowing demons to lurk through and invade the world. This is the world the adventurers will find themselves in.
  
  
  But, how does the SagaBorn system differ from the basics of BRP?
  
  
  • SagaBorn incorporates the worldbuilding from the Dark Return setting and the fantastical art of the Brothers Bielaczyc.
  • We have many basic Professions imported from BRP, but we also add Archetypes, a system that allows for more customization beyond the core skills you have.
  • Archetypes are built by gaining Talents, special abilities that define and customize your character.
  • SagaBorn is a heroic setting, so starting skill points will be high, and health will be doubled from BRP.
  • The familiar 7 Characteristics are there, but we have changed them a bit to fit the world.
  • Power is now Acumen, a measure of both street smarts, luck, and the character’s spirit.
  • Charisma is now Social, your character’s ability to persuade and charm others.
  • Magic uses Power Points like BRP, but we call it mana, and have customized spells to focus on the riskier magic of the Dark Return.
  • Equipment is essential, and crafting is simple, allowing heroes to have more powerful items and things to do between sessions.
  • Strongholds are built into the system, expanding crafting, building a link with the world, and offering a place to spend those gold coins from the adventure.
  • Combat is simplified.
  • Weapons fall into categories instead of each having its own skill.
  • Turns are based on Dex Initiative rolls.
  • Turns are broken up into Move, Standard, and 2 Free actions.
  • Saga Points allow rerolls and help players shape their own stories.
  • Sanity has been reworked as Horror, allowing for horror based gameplay with a better system.
  • A full Creature Compendium and Character Gallery are freely provided to make setting up adventures quick and easy.
  • Maps, adventures, and setting information are all for free on DarkReturn.com 
  • And finally, a Character Generator (coming soon!)
