Optional Rules
The following optional rules are not included in the main game because they slow down character creation, do not improve game balance, and are simply not important for the core game themes.
Contents
Races
Races are listed in rough order of suitability to the implied world's core themes. As this is an optional rule, the DM and players are especially encouraged to ban, add, or modify to taste.
Supporting Changes: Instantiate perfect human should be changed to either have other versions for some or all of the other races, or it should create a perfect member of the caster's own race.
Humans
Humans are a diverse bunch of mammals, coming in a wide range of colors and facial structures. Many of them care strongly about their physical and cultural differences, and aspire to demonstrate that their breed of Humans is the best. The civilized, bureaucratic Gray Humans, with their imposing cities and disciplined militaries, are particularly arrogant about the superiority of their regimented way of life.
The theocratic Dark Humans, living in the subterranean realms of the Nethergrounds, are quite confident in the unparalleled excellence of their White magic.
The savage Wild Humans in their forest homes know that no other kind of Human observes its surroundings as keenly.
The confident, ambitious Blood Humans of the desert know that their practice of rewarding enterprise over empathy has led them to produce the greatest architectural wonders and finest developments in the field of Orange magic of any type of Human.
Other races are jealous of the Humans' exceptionally long lives: some Humans can live to be over a hundred years old.

Fireweasels
These weasels have ever-burning tails. Despite being related to solitary stealth hunters, they are quite sociable, possibly due to their extreme obviousness. A strong desire to impress other fireweasels with tales of their accomplishments leads to them being enthusiastic adventurers, liars, and scientists. They don't much like to share accomplishments with their competition, so are less likely to band together with other fireweasels than with members of different races.

The Fireweasel can use its mouth as a single "hand".
Fireweasels are somewhat attuned with Orange energies to the point that a predominance of other colors can impair their digestion. At the beginning of their turn, if they have more non-Orange gems implanted than Orange ones, they must waste a minor action ignoring the stomachache.
Forbidden Options
Any Ability which adds to Health or Toughness: Fireweasels are never particularly durable.

Swarm
Some kinds of bees are attuned enough to Pink energies that their many miniscule souls connect to form a single individual. The oversized queen bee at the heart of the swarm is the locus for these Pink energies, and no bee in the swarm can travel more than a meter from it. The bees typically stay touching one another, using their links to share muscle power.
Any given swarm of such bees has a particular pair of stripe colors, but no two swarms have quite the same pair of colors.

Switching between Creature Form and Cloud Form is a move action.
The expendable nature of most of the bees in the Swarm reduces any damage taken by 1.
While in Cloud Form, single-target attacks against the Swarm may take a -2 penalty to the attack roll in order to deal +4 Damage, by targeting the queen bee precisely. Also while in Cloud Form, the Swarm can squeeze through spaces as small as 1 centimeter wide.
When the Swarm inflicts a wound using an unarmed attack, it may inflict a wound on itself to inflict another wound on the victim, by having its members sting them.
Swarms are somewhat attuned with Pink energies to the point that a predominance of other colors can impair their motions. If they have more non-Pink gems implanted than Pink ones, they move at half speed.
Belligs
These hairy, bipedal reptilians are purely carnivorous, and naturally both territorial and violent. They reach adulthood at 2 years old, and are extremely weak with age to the point of death by 40. Unlike Humans, they are not typically pack animals, and would have great difficulty maintaining any sort of technological or linguistic developments if it were not for their genetic memories, and more limited ability to ingest the memories of other creatures by eating their brains.

By devouring the brain of a creature, the Bellig can learn any one language that creature knew, or a one-hour period of that creature's memories.
Belligs are somewhat attuned with Purple energies to the point that a predominance of other colors can impair their thinking. At the beginning of their turn, if they have more non-Purple gems implanted than Purple ones, they must waste a minor action ignoring the headache.
Forbidden Options
Defender, medic, healer, doctor, warlord: Belligs don't have the patience or empathy to appreciate protecting others to that extent.
Unique Options
| Ancestral Shaman Paragon Tier Expertise
| |
| Prerequisites Bellig. | |
| Bonuses: | |
| ♦ When rolling to save against a frightening thing you already failed a save against, you get a +2 bonus to your Will Save. | |
| ♦ When you eat the brain of a creature you may teleport to any place it has been in the last hour. | |
| ♦ You can use a +5 in Supernatural Philosophy or History instead of your normal bonus. |
Deathtouched
These pale, white-haired Humans were subjected to high but nonlethal amounts of White energies for significant periods of time, or are the descendants thereof.

Deathtouched live on a diet of bones, and when they kill a Common-tier or stronger creature with a heavy attack in melee, they may immediately heal 1 wound.
Deathtouched are somewhat attuned with White energies to the point that a predominance of other colors can impair their ability to live. While they have more non-White gems implanted than White ones they get -1 to Toughness.
There are also Pygmy Deathtouched, which have half the size and reach, 2 kilogram carrying capacity, and 8-12 kilogram weight.

Orcs
Part Cactus, part Human, these green desert-dwellers have a strong desire to form mobs every five years, for a period of about three months each time. When in mobs like this, they seldom manage to stay supplied with provisions, so mobbing times usually result in them deciding to raid nearby settlements.
For this reason, Blood Humans and Orcs are especially antagonistic towards each other.

Unlike most creatures, Orcs die at -4 HP instead of -2.
Pygmies
These are Humans, but smaller. Some breeds of pygmy are also exceptionally stout and well-bearded. A particularly rare breed of pygmy can't comprehend the concept of property.

Flaws
These are ways in which a character can have special weaknesses. The number of flaws each character gets should be standardized for the campaign: one suggested distribution would be 1 flaw for a common tier character, another flaw for every Tier upgrade, and another flaw if they have the Hero class.
Nervous: Every time the character detects a creature he hasn't seen before in the past hour, if he suspects that the creature might be antagonistic, and he isn't in a squad with any other creatures, he finds that creature Frightening X, where X depends on the creature's tier (5 for Common, 7 for Elite, 9 for Paragon, 11 for Legend).
Decrepit (Mobile creatures only): The character's movement speeds are halved, and they get -8 to Initiative Bonus.
Obese (Mobile creatures only): The character is always carrying an amount of Fat equal to their normal weight. They also need to eat twice as much.
Blind (Sighted creatures only): The character's visual sense does not function.
Deaf (Hearing creatures only): The character's auditory sense does not function.
Unpyroscient (Thermosympathetic creatures only): The character's thermosympathetic sense does not function.
Paranoid: The character can make Insight checks as a cheap action, but whenever they roll a natural 1 for an Insight check, they become utterly convinced that the offending statement or appearance is false.
Mute (Creatures that can speak only): The character cannot speak.
Armless (Creatures with a finite nonzero number of hands only): The character has one fewer hand.
Geometrically Challenged: Whenever the character enters an extradimensional space, they take 1d6+2 damage.
Frail: The character gets -1 to Toughness.
Clumsy: The character gets -1 to AD.
Grabbable: The character gets -1 to GD.
Uncertain: The character gets -1 to Will Saves.
Obvious: The character gets -1 to Stealth.
Oblivious: The character gets -2 to Perception.
Hemophilia: At the end of the character's turn, if they have any wounds, they suffer one wound.
Gentle: The character gets -1 to Attack Bonus and -1 to any Save DCs they cause.
Ban Lists
Removing currently-optimal strategies from the setting can let previously-unviable tactics flourish. Writing your own banlist and sharing it with the players before the campaign starts also works; if it turns out that the game breaks because you removed the wrong set of things, you may have to start allowing previously-banned options.
Ban Long-Ranges: Ranged weapons other than Fighting Fans and Blowguns haven't been invented, spells and creature attacks with ranges longer than 20 meters have their ranges quartered or reduced to 20 meters, whichever is longer.
Ban a Gem Color: Banning a gem color can help to get rid of easy magical solutions to the problems that you want the players to care about during the campaign, or to free up room to add a different gem color without overcomplicating things. Monsters and monster advancements related to a particular gem color are also banned.
Mythic Characters
If Legend tier just doesn't seem quite excessive enough, these rules introduce several new tiers for you: Mythic, God, and Supreme.

Mythic Powers
Mythic powers are unique customized powers designed specifically for each individual. The cost for a Mythic Power is equal to the total cost of its Trigger multiplied by the total cost of all its Effects. If a set of options is listed in parentheses, choose one upon power creation.

Warp (Cost: 3): You may teleport to within reach of anything targeted in the Trigger.
Effect Modifiers
These are added to individual effects.
Status Effect on Wound (Cost: 2): If you wound a target with the effect, the target (becomes prone, is lit on fire, is blinded for 2 rounds, is stunned until the end of the current turn, falls asleep and doesn't wake up until it's wounded again, is shriveled for 1 minute, is tired for 3 rounds, or is chilled for 3 rounds).
Great Spirits
Mythical monsters, these beings are the physical embodiments of mechanisms. When destroyed, those mechanisms cease to function. They do not normally wander the world, but can be called into being by
Hunger Spirit
The Great Devourer
|
An endless mass of mouths, the hunger spirit eats its way through the world in an endless search for more sustenance.
The hunger spirit is quite smart, and can speak up to a hundred languages at a time. It survives on a diet of organic material, souls, and bones.

The Great Devourer has a hundred "hands", its mouths, and deals 1d6+12 damage with unarmed attacks (strongman included).
At the beginning of the hunger spirit's turn, it makes an attack against GD against each other creature within 100 meters. Hit creatures are infected with The Hunger; if they were already infected, they experience another day's-worth of hunger.
As a standard action, the hunger spirit can imbue a single creature that can hear it speak with an extreme desire to eat another target the hunger spirit designates, if the creature fails a Will Save. This desire lasts for 3 rounds, and forces the creature to make unarmed attacks against the object of its hunger by any means necessary.
Defeat: When the hunger spirit is reduced to -4 HP or less, it is utterly destroyed, and creatures no longer ever need to eat.
Death Spirit
The End of All Things
|
A skeleton made of rusty metal, the death spirit stalks the land in search of life and unlife to snuff out. It has two hands.
The death spirit is quite smart, and can speak and understand any word a dead creature once spoke, using that creature's voice. It survives on a diet of calories.

As a standard action, the End of All Things can emanate a blast of death with a 50 meter radius, making an attack against AD against each other creature in the area. Hit creatures instantly die.
When a creature dies, and the death spirit is aware of it, it may use an immediate action to either cause a blast of death as above, centered on the dying creature, or teleport to that creature.
Defeat: When the death spirit is reduced to -4 HP or less, it is utterly destroyed, creatures that were currently dead stop being creatures, and the dead status effect ceases to exist.
Gravity Spirit
The World-Crusher
|
A perfect sphere of darkness, the gravity spirit wanders the world steadily. It has no hands.
The gravity spirit is quite smart, and can speak and understand the currently most common language. It survives on a diet of bones.

| Skills Insight +13 (8192 skill points), Items +12 (7808 skill points) |
As a standard action, the World-Crusher can fling any number of target creatures or objects towards itself. The distance flung depends on the distance to each creature or object: 256 meters if 20 meters or less away, 64 meters if 21-40 meters, 16 meters if 41-80 meters, 4 meters if 81-160 meters away. Creatures and objects which collide with the gravity spirit are crushed, taking 1d6+7 Physical damage (Muscle included). On a successful wound, the target is stuck to the gravity spirit, paralyzing it and deals 1d6+7 Physical damage to it per round (Muscle included) until the gravity spirit is killed.
The gravity spirit has a Gravitic Throw weapon, which has a range of 200m/600m, attacks GD, and flings the target 3d6×5 meters in any direction on a successful hit.
Defeat: When the gravity spirit is reduced to -4 HP or less, it is utterly destroyed, and things no longer fall, much as if they had been hit by a gravity's bow. This, incidentally, causes the sun to explode.
