Making Characters
The same as the Unisystem character creation, and is best used with any of the Classic Unisystem core
books. Either the All Flesh Must Be Eaten, Witchcraft, Armageddon – The End Times and/or Conspiracy
X Second Edition.
Character Professions
In a similar vein to character classes from other games, Unisystem uses ‘Profession Qualities’ first seen
in the Dungeons & Zombies sourcebook for All Flesh Must Be Eaten. They are a composite list of
Qualities, Drawbacks Skills and unique abilities all rolled into one package that are bought like any
other Quality.
This first section contains Profession Qualities and new rules for player characters in addition to those
presented in the Unisystem core book of the game being run.
The second section concerns those who utilise Magic, and the third section contains a list of
Dimensional Beings presented as Racial Character Qualities, alien beings from other worlds who have
been relocated due to the effects of the Rifts. The fourth chapter of this booklet contains a list of
weapons and spells, plus rules for Augmentations! And the fifth and final section has a short list of
example Adversaries for your characters to become embroiled with.
In short, this booklet contains everything you need to know as players for the Battle Out Of Hell!

New Rules for Characters
New Rules for characters with high Attributes Bonus Charts
The following two tables display a list of benefits for characters with higher attributes, typically those
above eight. Note that bonuses are not consecutive; the character only gets the bonus their Attribute
fits into.
If a character does not already possess any form of Regenerative ability, then they do not receive any.
Otherwise the Regeneration bonuses are added to the normal regeneration rate of the character.

Qualities and Drawbacks
Famous/Infamous
Cost: 3-point Quality or Drawback
Representing a modicum of fame, they are welcomed and respected among the citizenry and the
media for some form of heroic or good deed. He attracts a huge crowd of well-wishers and autograph
seekers wherever he appears. This Quality also gives a +3 bonus to every Task or Test where the
character's popularity would be a factor.
The Infamous Drawback is the negative version of the Quality. The character is often mistaken for a
villain by law enforcement agencies and other heroes. Other heroes do not trust him and he is usually
a fugitive from justice.
Temper Control
Cost 1-3 point Drawback
Situations that try one’s patience, extreme mental focus and personality control are likely to cause
emotional and/or physical outbursts. When exposed to such situations, the character must make a
Simple Willpower Test with a penalty equal to the Drawback’s value to resist lashing out with words or
violence, depending upon the situation and character’s overall personality. Under especially intense
circumstances, the Chronicler should apply an additional penalty to the Test. Success indicates the
character has retained his impulses whereas failure means a loss of control. The exact effects of losing
one’s temper depend on the situation, the Drawback’s value, the character’s personality, and the
amount the Willpower Test failed by.
Emotional Problems (Flashbacks)

Cost: 1-3 point Mental Drawback
Due to some horrific past event, the character is haunted by visions that are triggered by certain
sights, smells, sounds or events that mimic the trauma. When faced with such circumstances the
character must make a Willpower test with a penalty equal to the level of this drawback or immediately
make a Fear Test with a penalty equal to double the level of this Drawback. Characters with this
drawback are likely to have the Recurring Nightmares Drawback.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Cost: 1-4 point Mental Drawback
Characters with this drawback suffer from a compulsive need to go about a specific set of tasks
whenever they are presented with the source of their compulsion, anything from; washing in a specific
way, reloading weapons or even the need to repeat words or phrases before they complete a sentence.
The level of the drawback indicates the amount of Success Levels the character needs on a Difficult
Willpower test in order to resist the compulsion when the character is confronted by it.
Increased Life Points

Cost – 2pt or 1pt (for Augmented characters) Physical Quality
The character is extremely hardy! For each level in this quality the character receives +15 Life Points.
A character can only have a maximum number of levels in this skill equal to ten or his or her
Constitution, whichever is lower. The cost of this Quality is reduced to a single point for characters with
Augmentations; Combat Cyborg, Partial Cyborg and Headhunter. If a character has Damage Capacity
instead of Life Points then they gain an equal amount of DC instead.
5 | Page
Increased Essence Pool
Cost – 2pts or 1pt (for magic-users) Supernatural Quality
Like increased Life Points, Increased Essence Pool adds +10 Essence Points to your character’s total
amount. The cost of this quality is reduced for either; Mattermancers, Cosmic Knight Errants or
Technomancers. A character can only have a maximum number of levels in this quality equal to their
Willpower or ten, whichever is lower.
Hallucinations
Cost: As per Intensity.
The character suffers from a form of sensory and auditory hallucinations, often striking at times of
great stress.
Hallucinations come in Intensities, with stronger Intensities provoking Fear Tests with increased
penalties.
Intensities Description Cost
Negative Hostile, fearful images or sounds, provoking Fear Tests with a -3 -3

modifier.
Intense Visions or sounds intense enough to seem real, provokes Fear tests -4
with a -4 modifier.
Horrifying The character’s hallucinations are so intense that their occurrence -6

can cause the character lasting physical and mental damage. These
provoke Fear tests with a -5 modifier, in addition whenever the
character fails a Fear Test and would lose Endurance points they lose
that many Life Points/Damage Capacity instead, representing the
harm brought on by such extreme stimuli.
New Skills
Magic Bolt
Some spells project beams of energy, or conjure spheres of destructive energy that are thrown at the
caster’s enemies. This skill can be used in addition to Dexterity as part of a magical attack.
Spell Casting (Special Skill)

Spell Casting is the key skill for any magic-user; it is used in combination with Willpower to determine
the success of the spell.
Magic Theory (Special Skill)
Magic Theory reflects a focused understanding of the workings of magic, and is used in conjunction
with Intelligence and Willpower to determine the character’s level of magical understanding (See
Masters of Essence). Magic Theory can be used to identify magic-users and to guess a spell being
cast in combat or otherwise.
Repair (Machines/Electronics/Robotics/Weapons)
Eventually, things break. When attempting to repair something, the character rolls his or her Repair
and Intelligence to mentally plan how the repair needs to be carried out, followed by a Repair and
Dexterity Test with a bonus equal to the number of Success Levels scored on the previous roll, the
Chronicler can impose a penalty to the roll depending on its level of damage, the more damaged it is
the harder it is to repair.
6 | Page
Note on Professions: Profession Qualities are primarily bought using Quality Points. However, the
numbers in parenthesis show the amount of Quality and Skill Points that may be spent instead, giving
the character more Quality Points to spend elsewhere.
Combat Cyborg
Cost: 20pts (10/10)
Prerequisites: The character must be able to have

Augmentations, certain D-Bees can and all humans can be
Cyborgs.
Combat Cyborgs are those brave individuals to sacrifice their
flesh and bone in favour of steel and carbon-fibre, nearly 80 to
90% of these cyborgs is composed of hardened plates of
reinforced steel and advanced electronic systems. These
individuals are often at their best on the frontlines, where they
do not have time to think upon the loss of their humanity.
Powers and Abilities

Purchasing the Combat Cyborg Profession gives the character a
+5 to their Strength and Constitution. However, in turn they
decrease their Willpower and Perception scores by 2 and the character’s Speed is halved. They may
purchase any of the Augmentations from the lists in Chapter 4 except for any of the Synthetic Organs.
Cyborgs have the Minority (2) Drawback, which represents those who still fear and or hate cyborgs. All
melee-attacks made using the Cyborg’s fists or feet use 1d8 instead of 1d6 (if increased through the
High Attribute rules, they simply use the next biggest dice, up to a max of a d12).
Machine Form
Combat Cyborgs have an Armour Value of 1d10 plus their Constitution, representing their metallic
body’s new durability. They have Damage Capacity instead of Life Points, which is calculated in the
same manner as the race they belong too and are unaffected by the extra damage effects of Slashing
and Blunt damage and they cannot Bleed. They do suffer double damage from Ion-based weapons
(See Chapter 4 – To Arms!).
Furthermore, Combat Cyborgs cannot heal naturally and any form of Regeneration does not affect the
character (unless that form is in of itself, mechanical). The only way Combat Cyborgs can restore lost
Damage Capacity is by having someone repair them using an Intelligence and Repair roll, with the
character’s Constitution Attribute multiplied by each Success Level to determine the amount of lost DC
is restored. Furthermore, there must be enough materials on hand suitable for repairing the Cyborg.
Finally, Cyborgs are unable to learn Magic and any spells they may have had before they became
Combat Cyborgs are destroyed, their loss of humanity removes
their ability to ever manipulate Essence.
Partial Cyborg
Cost: +15pts (5/10)
Prerequisite: Constitution 4 or higher
The character has undergone intensive surgery to replace parts

of their mortal body with machinery and electronics.
Most Partial Cyborgs, or ‘Half-Borgs’ replace an arm or leg, with

one or two other upgrades, many who undergo the surgery
don’t go to the extent of the Combat Cyborg for risk of losing
7 | Page
their humanity entirely. They can purchase any of the Augmentations from Chapter 4 – To Arms!
Might of the Machine
Partial Cyborgs receive a +2 to their Strength and Constitution scores and receive a +10 to their
Endurance Point Pool, and receive a basic Armour Value of 1d6+4 due to the minor augmentations
they have on their person.
The Headhunter
Cost: 10pts (4/6)
Prerequisite: Must be able to have Cybernetic Augmentations,

Constitution 4
Headhunters are the soldiers of fortune who have undergone partial

cybernetic augmentation and specialise in bounty hunting and target
assassination. Where they walk, suspicion and dread mingle with their
footsteps; they can purchase any Augmentations from the Synthetic
Organs, Cybernetic Limbs and Miscellaneous Augmentations lists in
Chapter 4 - To Arms!
Headhunters receive +1 to their Strength, Constitution and Perception

attributes. Headhunters may select a single pistol from the lists in Section
4 and may purchase it for 25% of its normal cost (is not cumulative with
the existing 50% decrease on the first weapon bought). Headhunters can
have up to eight levels of Hard to Kill and have the Status 1 (Headhunter)
Quality. On the downside they make many enemies through their
profession and must purchase an Adversary Drawback worth three points,
representing those who have a bone to pick with the Headhunter.
Cosmic Knight Errant

Cost: 20pts (10/10)
Prerequisite: Constitution 4, Willpower 3.

The Cosmic Knight Errants are valiant and proud,
supporting the weak and fighting evil where they can in
their quest to rid the world of demons, monsters and the
undead. They are descendants of a cosmic order of extra-
dimensional beings called the Cosmic Knights, whose
sworn duty is to protect the mythical heart of the universe
itself, The Cosmic Forge. At the time of the Rifts, a dozen
Cosmic Knights landed on earth and went about recruiting
worth men and women, including aliens into their order,
establishing huge fortress-monasteries on earth, the
largest and most famous being the ones located in Texas,
Edinburgh, Tokyo and Australia. The Cosmic Knight Errants
receive magical powers and are gifted with a powerful suit
of armour from their alien masters, their training in
intense and many are not worthy of ascending to
knighthood, those that do are fully equipped to battle
against the many evils of the Order of the Cosmic Forge.
They are proud and mighty individuals who share many
virtues as the age-old knights of Camelot, who in a bizarre
turn of events have resurfaced due to a bizarre time anomaly plaguing England.
8 | Page
Purchasing the Cosmic Knight Errant Profession gives the character a +1 to all their Physical Attributes
and a +1 to their Willpower; furthermore, if they are capable of having Augmentations they receive the
Reinforced Skeleton (Titanium) Augmentation and receive all the bonuses presented there.
Cyber-Armour
Cosmic Knight Errants are symbiotically bonded to their suit of advanced metallic plating, which has an
Armour Value of 1d8x4+4 (20) and has 80 Damage Capacity. It can be repaired through a successful
use of Repair + Intelligence, which restores 1d6 lost Damage Capacity per Success Level.
Magical Training
The Cosmic Knight Errant can summon a magical weapon fashioned from pure Essence that deals
1d10+Willpower in Energy Damage, dealing double against any demonic, undead or vampiric enemies;
the weapon they summon has a variable appearance, though regardless of its shape or aesthetic, deals
the same amount of damage.
Cosmic Knight Errants also practise magic, and may purchase magic spells from the lists in Section 4
and recover Essence at the same rate as Mattermancers and Technomancers do, (See Chapter 2 –
Command the Primal Forces) and receive a bonus 30 additional Essence points.
Honour-bound
Cosmic Knight Errants are sworn to protect those around them and follow a strict set of rules. They
have the Honourable (-3) and a Serious Obsession (Defeat Evil) Drawbacks. If they were to break their
strict set of rules, they would no doubt invoke the full wrath of their order, giving the character an
Adversary 5 (Cosmic Knight Errants) Drawback.
Man-At-Arms
Cost: 8pts (6/2)
Prerequisite: Guns (Any) 3, Dodge 3.
Despite the male-specific title, the Man-At-

Arms refers to those with some either of
military-combat training who fight in squads
or by themselves against the alien horrors
that plague humanity.
Power and Abilities
The Man-At-Arms Profession increases the

character’s Dexterity and Constitution by +1 and provides an additional +1 bonus when Aiming with
any ranged weapon for a total bonus of +3. They may purchase up to a maximum of eight levels in
Hard to Kill, they also have the following skills: Language (Military) 5, Dodge 2, Stealth 1.
They may purchase Augmentations but only from the Miscellaneous Augmentations list.
Mind Over Matter Agent

Cost: 16pts (8/8)
Prerequisites: Due to the fatally difficult task of rewiring the brains of dimensional creatures, the
subject must be human.
The Mind Over Matter or M.O.M project was oriented around the prospect of being able to literally
‘program’ desirable traits into humans. First experimented by black ops programs in the ‘States, they
utilised death-row criminals and homeless individuals for their tests. Nearly 90% of all those
experimented perished due to electric burnout, or deemed ‘unstable’ and summarily terminated.
Despite its horrific origins, the benefits of the Mind Over Matter project bore fruit, namely that those
9 | Page
who survived found themselves with heightened abilities far above those of their mortal peers. Despite
the risks associated with M.OM. a pharmaceutical company called Archangel picked up where they left
off, refined the M.O.M technology, and has been offering its new
service to military programs across the world.
M.O.M Agents have greatly increased speed and present a peculiar

ability to regenerate from even severe wounds, and their strength
and endurance is incredible.
Having undergone the enhancement project the character receives

a +3 to their Strength, Dexterity, Constitution and Perception, but
decreases their Intelligence and Willpower by 1.
Enhanced Capabilities
M.O.M Agents have an additional Action per turn and have a

natural Regeneration ability, being able to restore their
Constitution in Life Points every turn. Furthermore, they have the
Minority (M.O.M) (-2), and must spend four points on acquiring
Mental Drawbacks to represent the harsh rewiring of their mind,
the character gets no points from these Drawbacks.
Lastly, due to their mental instability, they gain Madness Points at a quicker rate than other characters.
Whenever a M.O.M. Agent gains Madness Points, they receive an additional d6 points whenever
Madness Points are obtained.
M.O.M. Implants
Aside from the already impressive implants, Agents are able to acquire further implants, both
increasing their power and eventual risk of insanity! The M.O.M. Agent can pick two of the following
upgrades from the list below.
1. Enhanced Healing
Some felt that the Agent’s impressive ability to recover from damage was not up to the level of some
crueller scientists, the M.O.M Agent’s Regeneration rate is increased to double their normal rate. The
character suffer from the; Delusions of Grandeur (1) Drawback indicating their belief that they are near
invincible! (or so they think).
2. Enhanced Strength
The Agent’s incredible Strength is increased by an additional +4! Due to their increased physical power
their temper seems to flare up at the worst times, giving them the Temper Control (-2) drawback.
3. Enhanced Constitution
Increasing their natural toughness through a potent cocktail of drugs gives the Agent a +4 to their
Constitution rapidly increasing their Regeneration rate and at the same time making them dangerously
hyperactive, making them unable to sleep unless they fail a Consciousness test (Constitution plus
Willpower), furthermore they suffer the effects of the Reckless drawback.
4. Hyper Sense
The Agent is always alert and gets to make a Difficult Perception test to perceive if the agent or any
allies are in immediate danger; however, the Agent tends become obsessed with perceived threats and
suffers the effects of the Paranoia Drawback.
10 | P a g e
Chapter 2 – Command the Primal Forces
A selection of magic-users for your game.
11 | P a g e
A note on magic-users.
The Profession Qualities listed here are for those who wish to have a character that is able to
manipulate the very stuff that makes up the universe; this substance is known as Essence. It is
invisible and exists only as a faint bluish mist in its raw form, it is the measure of the soul and is drawn
on to cast and use magic. This section explains the details concerning two different types of magic-
user; those who manipulate and control magic both destructive to protective. The other is the futuristic
Technomancer, who utilises technology to explore both worlds of science and magic and the
combinations they provide.
Enhanced Potential
As a universal rule to all the following Professions, each Mattermancer and Technomancer each
receives a bonus to their Essence Pool equal to his or her Willpower multiplied by ten.
Magical Understanding
All magic-users must first understand their craft,
and magic is highly complex and baffles the unwary.
A magic-user can only purchase spells that have a
Level is equal to the character’s Intelligence and
Willpower added together and divided by 2 (rounded
up). So a character with an Intelligence of 4 and a
Willpower of 5 can purchase any spell from Levels 1-
5, but no higher.
Mattermancers
Cost: 10pts
Prerequisite: Willpower 4+
Mattermancers refer to those to tap into Essence in
its rawest form in order to cast their spells. Due to
the sudden events that have led to Essence
becoming more apparent on Earth, many have not
had the time to construct schools or cohesive
organisations cantered around controlling such
energies. Nevertheless, the Mattermancers are those
who have claimed some mastery over the raw
energies of the universe and utilise it for good or for ill.
Locate Essence
Mattermancers are able to readily find mass gatherings of Essence, known as Places of Power by rolling
a Simple (+2) Perception + Magic Theory test. Depending on how much Essence is present can hinder
this test, posing a -1 penalty per twenty Essence points that the local has. Some Mattermancers are
capable of glimpsing a person’s Essence Matrix to gauge their power, which is resolved as a contested
Willpower and Magic Theory roll by the Mattermancer, and a Willpower test by the target, who receives
a +1 to the roll per twenty Essence points they have in total, not just at current.
Utilise Essence
Mattermancers may utilise as much Essence as they need to cast spells, so long as they are able to
speak, as they must utter the magical words that command the Essence and shape it into the desired
form. The may purchase any of the spells listed in The Masters of Essence section of Chapter 4 – to
Arms! They are subject to all the rules presented there.
12 | P a g e
Restore Lost Power
Mattermancers regain Essence much faster than normal, they regenerate twice their Willpower in
Essence Points every minute, or five turns if the character is in combat. If the Mattermancer is present
at a Place of Power they regain Essence every turn instead of every minute, they are able to tap into
the Place and restore 1d4 Essence per Success Level on a Willpower and Magic Theory Skill Test.
The Technomancer
Cost: 15pts
Prerequisite: Intelligence 4, Dexterity 3.
Technomancers are those who exploit the opportunities of a

merger between science and magic rather than oppose it.
Technomancers are engineers who fabricate devices to
house their arsenal of spells, they are unable to utilise
Essence like a Mattermancer but they utilise it in the
creation of magical devices.
Technomancers receive a +1 to their Intelligence,

Dexterity and Willpower Attributes.
Technnomancy
Technomancers are men and women of science who

utilise their intellect to build machines that can
understand the language of magic in the form of Devices, which the Technomancer is adept at
building.
Devices must be made using the Crafting skill. As each type of Crafting indicating what sort of Device
the Wizard builds, a Technomancer with Craft (Gunsmith) can create ray-guns, whereas having Craft
(Armourer) can create suits that can withstand the elements. In order to create a Device, the
Technomancer must score a number of Successes equal to the Level of the Spell they wish to install
into the Device with. Furthermore, Devices have one advantage over casting spells, which is as matter
of fact that Devices do not need to be cast! They simply need to be ‘turned on’ or triggered in order for
the spell to work, if the spell requires resisted tests then those resolve as normal. However, no casting
roll is required.
Restore Lost Power
Technomancers regain Essence much faster than normal, they regenerate twice their Willpower in
Essence Points every minute, or every five turns if the character is in combat.
13 | P a g e
Building Technomancer Devices
The following series of charts and descriptions are here to present a guideline for your Technomancer
devices, from guns to armour and to rings that can make it rain. As always, consult your Chronicler
when creating Devices as they have the final say.
A Technomancer can only control his Willpower in Devices. Others beyond this limit do not function
unless the Technomancer dismantles an existing Device.
Device Creation Three spell would put the Technomancer’s roll

at a -3 penalty.
Step 1: Aesthetic
Step 3 – Result
What does your Device look like? Is it a weapon
like an axe or sword? Alternatively, something If enough successes are scored, the Device is
like an assault rifle? This is the most open part built! Devices use Charges to cast Spells rather
of creation, though objects too small or too than Essence, a second Crafting and
large can cause heinous complications in the Intelligence roll necessary to determine the
creation and is unsuited to becoming Devices, number of Charges the Device has; which is
anything like needles or coins. The Device equal to the Success Levels of the roll
should best represent the type of spell you wish multiplied by the Spell’s Level. Divide the
to put into it, so a gun for a fireball spell or a Spell’s Essence cost by ten; this is how many
sword that casts Power Weapon on itself. Charges that spell uses up when it is activated.

Chapter 3 - Dimensional Beings
Those of another world!
Dimensional Beings, often shortened to ‘D-Bee’, are creatures from another world or realm. Their
arrival on Earth has signalled a new era for the paradox-stricken planet, some of them are openly
hostile and are seeking new land to expand their conquest, and others have come to aid humanity in
their time of need against otherworldly foes and the demons on the Devil Kingdoms.
A note on Racial Character Qualities
The following Dimensional Beings can be purchased using Metaphysic points (A character can only
have one Racial Character Quality). Certain Racial Character Classes also include various restrictions
and options as to which Professions they are able to acquire.
Unless otherwise stated, all D-Bees have the Minority -2 Drawback, as despite many groups of
humans becoming to accept them, bigotry and prejudice are ever-present.
15 | P a g e
Amana
Cost: 10pts
Amana are tall, thin humanoids with mercury coloured skin and are
hairless. They are healers and priests and have a loose society based
around altruism and support of others, something that has put that at
odds with the current climate of war. They are not beyond fighting,
and will fight if push comes to shove.
Healing: The Amana feature an amazing healing ability that they use
to help those wounded by placing their hands a few inches from the
person’s body as their power cleanses and heals, surrounding the
wound with a faint purplish light. By spending Essence, the Amana can
restore 1 Life and Endurance Point per two Essence point spent, they
can channel as much Essence as they need this way.
Profession Restrictions
Due to their pure-of-body philosophy, many Amana cannot obtain

Augmentation, though it is up to your Chronicler which Augmentations
may be suitable. Amana characters may not be Combat Cyborgs,
M.O.M. Agents. They have the capacity for understanding magic and
find themselves comfortable as Mattermancers and Cosmic Knight
Errants.
Racial Bonuses
Amana characters receive a +1 to their Intelligence and Willpower

Attributes but have their Strength reduced by 1.
They calculate their Life, Endurance and Speed in the same way as
humans do, except that Amana characters gain +20 Essence Points as well.
Dewtani
Cost: 15pts
The Dewtani are a race of magically inclined mystics with long

black hair and coppery skin, with long ears and pointed faces.
They fled their planet in a terrible conflict with Sahtalus, who
desired their Essence-rich world for his own gain but grew tired
and angry at the long-drawn out war of some three-thousand
years. He destroyed their planet by unleashing a cosmic storm
of meteors that caused the sources of Essence to erupt in a
monstrous cataclysm that caused the entire planet to explode
into dust. Ever since then, the Dewtani have been divided; those
who sought to find a new world and start again, and those who
seek vengeance against Sahtalus.
Magical Knowledge
Dewtani excel at magical exploits, they get a +3 bonus to cast
spells and can purchase the Occult Knowledge skill at the normal
rate rather than pay its Special Skill cost.
16 | P a g e
Eternal Revenge
The Dewtani that came to earth despise demons and devils with a passionate fury that belies their
calm exterior, they have the Adversary 5 (Devil Kingdoms) and Prejudice (Devils & Demons) 3
Drawbacks.
Dewtani are unfamiliar with technology and may never be Combat Cyborgs, M.O.M. Agents and can
never purchase Augmentations. They find Technomancerry fascinating and are most comfortable with
Mattermancers.
Racial Bonuses
Dewtani characters receive a +2 to their Intelligence and +1 to their Dexterity.
Grackle Tooth
Cost: 25pt
Named for the particular smile, Grackle-Tooth are a race of war-like lizard creatures that stand
anywhere from 7 to 9 foot in height, their scales anywhere from a murky green to a muddy brown
colour, their skin and underbelly is typically pale, with thin black stripes lining their scales if the
Grackle Tooth is female. They are oddly cheerful and relish the opportunity for a good fight, they
attempt to ‘cool down’ stressful situations with humour or otherwise, mostly to downplay their own
confusion and hidden nervousness of this strange world called Earth.
Reptilian
Grackle Tooth have hardened, scaly plates that provide

moderate protection from most small-arm weaponry. Giving
them a Natural Armour Value of 1d6+Con. Their nails are
incredibly sharp and cause d6 Slashing damage. They suffer
from the Clown -1 Drawback due to their light-hearted nature.
They have a strong distrust of the stuff ever since a civil war
occurred when a small group of Grackle Tooth discovered a
huge Place of Power and accidently unleashed a horde of fiery
elementals, who were only stopped after several thousand
Grackle Tooth where slaughtered and half-a-dozen cities and
towns where destroyed in their wake. The Grackle Tooth may
never be Mattermancers or a Technomancer (though they
love Devices, especially ones that look like guns). They find
themselves most comfortable in the Men-At Arms or
Headhunter Professions but their light-hearted nature puts
them at odds with the Cosmic Knight Errants. Grackle-Tooth
can have Augmentations.
Racial Bonuses
Grackle Tooth characters receive +2 to their Strength and Dexterity, but suffer a -1 to their
Intelligence. They calculate their Life and Endurance Points with the following formula:
Life Points ((Strength + Constitution) x6) +35
Endurance Points ((Strength + Constitution + Willpower) x6+50)
17 | P a g e
Malvoren
Cost: 22pts
The Malvoren are a peculiar race made

up of fleshy, crimson-tinged strands of
matter, weaving together like worms
around equipment and clothing.
Their culture and identity have been lost

to the ages, but when they travelled to
earth, their expertise regarding weapons
and armour has made them very popular
choices for mercenary-work.
Malvoren manifest by winding around

clothing and weapons and forming the
rough shape of a humanoid figure. They
find earth weaponry easy to use and have a +3 bonus to hit with all hand-held weapons, ranged or
melee. They can better adjust to armour and increase any flat modifier the armour has by their
Constitution score, if the armour does not have a flat modifier they have gain one equal to the
Malvoren’s Constitution.
Their fearful appearance gives them an Unattractiveness Drawback of -3 and the Minority (Malvoren) -
3 Drawback. Strangely enough they are unable (either out of embarrassment or otherwise) to hold
their humanoid shape without being at least partially contained within a suit of armour.
Malvoren have never displayed any form of magical ability. They can become Man-At-Arms, and not
welcome in the halls of the Cosmic Knight Errants. They are capable of acquiring augmentations and
may become Partial Cyborgs or Headhunters, though the extreme difficulty or wiring their biological
structures to the metallic shell of a Combat Cyborg prevents them of purchasing that Profession.
Racial Bonuses
Malvoren receive a +1 to their Strength and Dexterity, but have Perception -1. They calculate Life and
Endurance Points as humans do.
18 | P a g e
Mastadonoid
Cost: 30ts
Mastadonoids are a race of humanoid
mastodons that came from an arctic world
possessed of a lethal coldness. They are
massive creatures with arms the size of most
mortals and are thankfully, relatively
peaceful, though their temper is legendary
when roused.

The Mastadonoids have the Size 2 – Huge
Quality, the bonuses of which are included in
the Racial Bonuses section below.
Because of their increased size, attacks
against them have a +3 to Hit.
Mastadonoids also suffer the effects of the Slow Reaction Time Drawback, in which they automatically
go last in combat.
Hindered Magic
Mastadonoids are maladjusted to the practises of magic and when casting spells, they only add half
their Willpower score rounded up instead of the full amount.
Mastadonoids have rarely touched technology and due to their particular physiology are highly
incompatible with Augmentations. They find themselves comfortable living as a Man-At-Arms and
Headhunters. Many Mastadonoids are suspicious of Magic and are distrustful of it. Throughout their
history, some of them have found peace within the halls of the Cosmic Knight Errants who regard them
with praise for the strength and dedication.
Racial Bonuses
Mastadonoid Characters receive the following bonuses Strength +8, Constitution +6 and Willpower
+1. But due to their lumbering and superstitious mind-set; they have Dexterity -2 and Intelligence -
1.
They calculate their Life, Endurance Points and Speed differently to humans.
Life Points ((Strength + Constitution) x6) +100
Endurance Points ((Strength + Constitution + Willpower) x5) +30
Speed: Sum of Dexterity and Constitution, not doubled.

Chapter 4 – To Arms!
A comprehensive list of new rules, Spells, Weapons, Armour, Cybernetics,

Qualities and Drawbacks for your characters.
20 | P a g e
Core Rulebook Changes
Initiative
During combat, each character takes it in turns to roll an ten-sided dice and add their Dexterity to it to
determine the initiative order, characters with fast Reaction Time automatically go first unless another
character in combat has Fast Reaction Time, if two more characters have Fast Reaction time then those
players roll Initiative as normal but still go before everyone else.
Alternatively if this is too complicated or makes for too much fiddling about; characters with Fast
Reaction Time automatically go first in combat, unless there is another character with Fast Reaction
Time, in which case characters with that quality get a +10 to their Initiative roll.
Actions
During a character’s turn, they may take Actions. Each character has one Action, which can be used for
attacking another character, or performing a skill, they can also utilise a free action (such as talking or
moving) as well; certain Qualities and other rules allow characters to have more than one action per
turn. Characters may take up to two additional Actions per turn, each imposing a cumulative -3 penalty
to any dice rolls made during those additional actions.
Attacking
When attacking characters, the character announces their attack and rolls a ten-sided dice and adds
their respective Attribute and Skill, Dexterity is typically the governing attribute for striking a target.
As the character attacks, the defending character gets a chance to dodge or avoid the attack by rolling
a d10 and adding their Dexterity and Dodge/Athletics skill. Both sides consult the Success Table to
determine the number of Success Levels (SLs) they scored. Attackers reduce the total number of
successes by the amount the defender rolled, if this would bring the total number of Success levels
down to zero or less then the attack is dodged and no damage is dealt.
Success levels that are carried over act as the multiplier for damage, as melee damage is calculated as
according to this formula.
(Strength + Weapon damage) x Success Levels = Damage
Example; James is attacking Edward with his fists, as a seasoned brawler James hits and scores five
successes, whereas Edward only gets two.
Punches deal d4 damage, so James rolls a d4 and adds his Strength of 4 to it, giving him a total of 7.
James then multiplies this by his remaining SLs (3) and hits Edward for 21, dealing that much to his
Life Points and severely hurting him.
The damage caused by ranged weapons such as guns are unmodified, they use the listed dice and
multiplier to better amplify the danger and power of firearms.
Rule of Ten and One

Whenever a dice turns up a ten or a one, roll the dice again adding to or lowering the final score to the
number rolled, disregarding the rule of having to roll five or over/under. This gives players a better
chance of achieving higher or dangerously lower scores.
Flying
Winged characters are able to fly at a speed of their Constitution and Dexterity multiplied by five in
miles per hour, which costs the character 5 Endurance Points per minute of flight. The character can fly
at increased speeds by increasing spending further Endurance, increasing their Speed at a rate of
twenty miles per hour for each ten additional Endurance spent. Whilst in Flight the character is also
able to decelerate, dropping their current speed at a rate of five miles an hour per point of Constitution
every turn or ten seconds.
21 | P a g e
If a winged character collides with an object, whether it is another character or something else, both
targets take damage. In a similar manner to the Collisions rule, winged characters endure and inflict
1d10 multiplied by a tenth of their speed at the time. Note that if a character were travelling at an
obscene speed then most targets in their way would feasibly be destroyed, though if the character
crashes then they would be rewarded with a similar fate. No Survival Roll is necessary, the character is
dead.
Damage Resistance
Damage Resistance is an extra rule that can be used to help characters survive as Unisystem can often
lead to very high amounts of damage being dealt. This is represented as an extra Secondary Attribute
and is calculated by adding together the character’s Constitution and Willpower. Damage Resistance
acts as a natural form of Armour Value and removes a like amount of damage before the character
checks for any available armour.
An example; Jimmy (Str4), who attacks James (DR4) hits and deals ten life points worth of damage,
James reduces the damage by four, bringing it down to six.
Rules for Endurance Loss

Combat: For each action the character takes in combat, they lose 1d4 Endurance points.
Taking Damage: When characters take damage and lose Life Points they also lose Endurance Points
equal to one-fifth of the damage dealt, Blunt damage weapons increase this loss to half instead.
Activity: Engaging in intense actions or heavy lifting or similar activities drains the character of 1d4
Endurance points per turn or ten-second equivalents.
Fear: When characters become scared and fail Fear Tests they lose Endurance points, the amount of
Endurance they lose is located in the Fear Table section of this booklet.
Pain Threshold
When characters get hurt, they feel it. Characters suffer penalties to their actions if they lose Life
Points equal to a multiplier of their Constitution score. This effect lasts for a number of turns equal to a
ten-sided dice minus half their Constitution Attribute.
Penalties last for 1d10- Con/2 in Turns
Damage Action Penalty First Aid Penalty
Con x2 -1 -0
Con x4 -2 -1
Con x6 -3 -2
Con x8 -4 -3
Con x10 -5 -4

Fear System
Fear Tests
When presented with a potentially terrifying or fearful situation, the Chronicler can make the player(s)
make a Willpower Test with a penalty relevant to the situation. If the player pass the Willpower test
means that the character is only scared for a few seconds before regaining their composure.
Certain situations can impose negative modifiers to the Willpower Test, gory or traumatic encounters
can impose a penalty of -1 to -4, horrifying monsters like the undead or spirits can impose anything
from -4 to -7 and eldritch horrors from beyond the stars can provide a penalty of -8 to -12!

Fear Table Keywords

Shakes/Screaming – The character begins to either tremble in fear or erupt into a fit to frantic
screaming, suffering a -2 to all actions for 1d4 turns if in combat, otherwise multiply the result by ten
for its duration in seconds for non-combat situations.
Panic – The character begins to panic, acting hysterically or desperately to avoid the source of their
fear. They suffer a -3 to all actions for the next 1d6 turns (1d6x10 seconds).
Reaction – the character undergoes an appropriate physical response to the source of their fear. Such
as physical hysterics such as spasms, uncontrollably crying, to minor physical trauma such a prolonged
nose bleeds, even unwelcome bowel movements may occur as the character’s body struggles with the
terrifying stimulus. They suffer a -4 to their actions for 1d8 turns (1d8x10 seconds).
Logorrhoea – A mental overload causes the character to babble incoherently, either suffering from
extremely rapid speech or begins to continuously speak in perfectly coherent but uncontrollable speech
that lasts for 1d10+2 turns (1d10+2x10 seconds) any actions performed during this time suffer a -5
penalty.
Rage – The character’s mind snaps! Becoming dangerously enraged, the character flings themselves in
a self-destructive rage at the source of their fear or anyone nearby! The character attacks the nearest
character whilst in combat and has their Strength increased by 4 for the duration of 1d12+3 turns.
Intense Pain – The incident causes such terror in the character that they become wracked with
crippling pain such as a vicious migraine; losing 1d6 Life Points/Damage Capacity each turn or ten
second duration for 1d10+3 turns, which may be multiplied by ten for its duration in seconds for non-
combat situations.

Severe Insanities Keywords

Phobia
The character rolls a d6; they then gain a temporary Phobia Drawback relevant to the source of their
fear at either. 1-2: Mild 3-4: Severe 5-6: Extreme. This effect lasts for 1d6+6 hours or until they next
meet the source of their Phobia, in which case the character loses the drawback.
Obsession
Like Phobia above, except that the character acquires an Obsession Drawback with the source of their
Fear as the subject of their irrational obsession, and will do anything to discover more or find the
source of their fear again.
Violently Unstable
The character’s mental state becomes more violent and unhinged, roll a d6. The character immediately
gains either the: 1-3 Temper Control or 4-6 Violent Tendencies drawbacks, if the character already has
one of them, increase its level by one. This can take these drawbacks above their typical maximums of
3.
Heart Attack
The fear is too much for the character and they begin to go into cardiac arrest. They lose 1d10+5x2
Life Points each minute until they receive advanced medical care! This causes mechanical characters to
suffer a series of highly debilitating mechanical and electronic failures, inflicting a like amount of
damage as whatever organic material remains goes havoc.
Coma
The character’s mind shatters, their fear becoming so overwhelming that they fall into a deep coma,
unable to wake up for 1d100+50x4 hours. This is a very severe result and its use should be used
sparingly (if at all) by Chroniclers.
Gaining Madness Points

As characters gain Madness Points, their grip on sanity and reality begin to wane. When the amount of
Madness Points the character has equals twice their Willpower, he or she gains a point to spend on a
Mental Drawback, or increase an existing Mental Drawback by a single point. From this point onwards,
whenever the amount of Madness Points increases to a multiple of the character’s Willpower (x2/x3/x4
etc.) the character gets another point to spend on Mental Drawbacks. Final and permanent insanity
comes when the character’s Madness Points are greater than their Willpower times twenty. At this
point the character is driven insane and becomes hopelessly lost to madness. Certain settings like
Armageddon – the End Times/Witchcraft often have Madness caused by supernatural creatures and the
Mad Gods, at which point an insane Cast Member can become Tainted, replacing their Essence Pool
with a Tainted one, and begin to display horrible powers and disfigurations.
24 | P a g e
Augmentation and Implants
Rules for modifying your character.
The monetary cost for these augmentations can be roughly calculated by taking the Quality Point cost
of the augmentation and multiplying by one-thousand to determine its cost in Credits.
The character will be referred to as a cyborg for the purposes of this section.
Loss of Humanity
Due to the draining effect that cybernetics has on Essence, a cyborg’s Essence Pool decreases for each
augmentation they buy. A Cyborg character loses Essence equal to half the points cost of each the
Augmentation they purchase; if this amount would reduce the Cyborg’s Essence Point Pool to less than
5 the character becomes slightly disconnected from their humanity and suffers a -3 to all social
itnerations they make as begin to suffer from a machine-like disconnection or ‘mechanical sociopathy’
disorder that imposes a -3 penalty to all social interactions and rolls the character makes.
Finally, if a character’s Essence Point Pool through be reduced to less than zero through Augmentation,
the character must make a Willpower Test with a penalty equal to the current number of Essence
points they have that are below zero (-5 Essence would impose a -5 penalty) for the initial
Augmentation that brought tem below zero and for every Augment afterwards. If they fail, roll a D8
and consult the results below.
1-2: The character feels as if they have lost 5-6 – Suffers from a peculiar obsession over
their humanity, having become more machine the concept of death, can a machine ‘die’ in the
than human (or alien), the character gains the metaphysical sense? Is there an afterlife for
Emotionless Drawback at its basic level, if this those made of wires and steel? The character
result is rolled again, increase it to the next gains a level of the Weird Delusion (Death of
level or roll again. The Cyborg receives D6+2 the Machine) Drawback relating to their
Madness Points existential crisis.
3-4 – The Cyborg has become one with the 7-8 – Suffers from a strange sense of doubt
glory of the machine and feels emboldened by and finds themselves valuing the concept of
its power! They gain the Zealot Drawback humanity far greater than ever before, and
reflecting their passion and zeal concerning despite their augmented strength and power,
their augments; if they already have the Zealot that humanity is to be protected above all else,
Drawback they gain a level in the Delusions of the character gains a level in either the
Grandeur Mental Drawback instead. The Cyborg Honourable or Obsession (Protect Humanity)
also gains D4x3 Madness Points. Drawbacks. The cyborg gains D6x2 Madness
Points.
25 | P a g e
Age and Augmentations
Flesh can rot and the body can weaken with time, augmentations and cybernetics does help to increase
the character’s life span but only for those with severely augmented bodies. Combat Cyborgs and
characters with extensive (70 %+) cybernetics hardly age at all, at a rate of one year for every five.
This does not render them immortal as electronic systems can fail and metal can rust and decay over
time, the lifespan of various augmentations are known only by the Chronicler, very long campaigns
should take cybernetic and augmented character’s ‘mechanical lifespan’ into consideration.
Note on Attractiveness
A hulking mechanical cyborg bristling with weapons is perhaps the

gun nut’s idea of ‘hot’ but otherwise may not be entirely appealing
to those of flesh and blood. Joking aside, characters with
Augmentations need not be horrifically scared or universally
abhorred for their appearance, some augmentations could be
designed with a more aesthetically pleasing look, limbs devoid of
obvious joints and motor and even hidden weapons can be hidden
gracefully beneath layers of folding metal. Only Cyborgs with the
Synth-Skin Augment can purchase Attractiveness in both its Quality
and Drawback forms, as some cyborgs feel a longing to return to
humanity and remodel themselves to better fit in with their peers.
Gaining Augmentations
Augmentations can be either bought at character creation or in
game, purchased using Metaphysic points.
To purchase them in game they follow the normal rules for

purchasing new Qualities using Experience, but first the character
must see a Cyberdoc or someone who can install them. Installing
Augmentations takes 1d8+2 hours, a time which can be reduced by
half an hour for each Success Level the Cyberdoc makes on an
Dexterity and Cyberdoc test, after rolling their Intelligence and
Cyberdoc to determine the procedure. Failure in this test means
that something has gone wrong and the time extends by 1 hour for
each number less than the target nine. So rolling a five would
increase the time by four hours.
List of Augmentations
Cybernetic Limbs
The cyborg can replace various body parts with cybernetic versions, giving them increased capabilities.
Augmentations can only be bought once, or if the augmentation states otherwise.
Cybernetic Limbs can still be crippled as per the normal rules of dealing 1/3 rd of the cyborg’s Life
Points/Damage Capacity in damage. If a cybernetic limb is damaged in this manner, any bonuses
provided by the limb do not function until they are repaired or replaced.
Cybernetic Legs
Cost: 6 per limb

Cybernetic Legs replaces the cyborg’s legs with powerful servos, increasing the strength of their kicks
and their running speed. Purchasing Cybernetic Legs gives the Cyborg a +10 Speed bonus per leg and
any attacks made with the Cyborg’s feet are at +2 Strength.
26 | P a g e
Cybernetic Arms
Cost: 7 per limb.
With bundles of carbon fibre replacing muscle and sheathed in ultra-flexible metal, the cyborg delivers
one hell of a punch. Cybernetic Arms can be purchased individually, and attacks made with the
augmented arm are at +2 Strength and their punching attacks deal an extra 5 points of damage.
Cybernetic Skull Box
Cost: 7pts
The Skull Box replaces the cyborg’s skull with a metal construct, with his natural senses enhanced
through micro-cables. The cyborg gains +1 Perception and Willpower and has an additional 10 Life
Points/Damage Capacity.
Reinforced Bones
Undergoing extreme surgery the cyborg’s bones are laced with

a complex lattice of synthetic materials designed to boost their
overall physical constitution, the armour values provided by the
augmentations help boost the value of the armour (if any)
worn by the character by applying a flat modifier after the
multiplier. There are three types available.
Plastic
Cost: 6pts
+1 bonus to Strength and Constitution and increases their

Cyborg Armour Value by 3. It reduces the cyborg’s Speed by 2
and poses no penalty to Initiative.
Aluminium
Cost: 10pts
+2 to Strength, +1 to Constitution and increase the Cyborg’s
Armour Value by 5. The cyborg has their Speed reduced by 3 points and has a -2 on Initiative rolls.
Titanium
Cost: 15pts
+3 to Strength and +2 to Constitution, the cyborg increases their Cyborg Armour Value by 10. The
cyborg’s Speed is reduced by 5 points and suffers a -3 on Initiative rolls.
Augmented Vision
The cyborg can have their very eyes replaced with
advanced synthetics capable of seeing in the dark,
picking up heat signatures, or being able to project
enough light to see by. Naturally, only two Eye
upgrades can be bought.
Infrared/Ultra-V Eye
Cost: 6pts
The eyeball looks noticeably different to those
around, aside from the slight metallic sheen, the
eyeball’s pupil is 50% larger and the iris changes to
an unusual violet colour. By activating the eye with
a simple thought, the cyborg can see into the infrared and ultraviolet spectrums.
27 | P a g e
Night-Vision
Cost: 5pts
The eye takes on a slightly murkier grey colour but allows the cyborg to have perfect 20/20 vision
during the dark hours of the day.
Eyelights
Cost: 5pts
Akin to a car’s headlamps, the cyborg can project a ten-foot beam of yellowish light from the eye in
question. It is not bright enough to blind anyone but shining it up close in someone’s face would cause
him or her to see spots and blurs for two turns/one minute, imposing a -2 to their actions during that
time.
Holovid Camera
Cost: 5pts
One of the cyborg’s eyes has been replaced with a delicate micro-camera installed inside a sturdy
Plexiglas eyeball. Fitted with coloured lenses to mimic the cyborg’s existing eye colour, the Holovid
Camera may record up to an hour of footage that can be displayed as a three-foot squared holographic
display or downloaded onto computers using a Data Jack.
Synthetic Organs (Not Available for Combat Cyborgs)

Brain
Cost: 5pts
The cyborg’s brain is not replaced, but tended to by microscopic robots called nanities, or nano-
machines that help to enhance the cyborg’s brain. The cyborg receives a +2 to their Intelligence
Attribute.
Heart
Cost: 5pts
This heart is a sturdy artificial replacement that increases their Cyborg’s Constitution by +2 and they
regenerate lost Endurance points at a rate of 1 per minute.
Lungs
Cost: 4pts
The cyborg has a small filtration unit at the top of their lungs that filters the air they breathe. This
makes them immune to toxic substances in the air and they can breathe underwater for two minutes
per level of Constitution.
Miscellaneous Augmentations
Fingerjack
Cost: 3pts
This artificial finger can plug straight into computer
and communication systems, giving the cyborg a
+2 on Computer Hacking attempts
Knuckle Blades
Cost: 6pts
The cyborg has tiny, half-inch bulges in between their fingers at reveal extending blades at a moment’s
notice. The blades utilise the same damage dice that the rest of the cyborg’s hand-to-hand attack do,
but deal Slashing damage instead.
28 | P a g e
Synth-Skin
Cost: 5 or 7pts
This Augmentation is a little different. Some Cyborgs have become repentant and forlorn after losing
touch with humanity in wake of their augmentation; others simply have a desire to retain some
semblance of humanity, even if it is simply an aesthetic one.
Synth-Skin is a liquid polymer solution that when applied to the Cyborg’s body gives them the
appearance of a perfectly normal being, designed to replicate their non-augmented appearance, and
includes microscopic chemical ‘patches’ that produce a thin, oily fluid that replicates sweat and blood
for those who feel the need. Any trace of cybernetics or augmentation is hidden beneath the flesh and
for the increased cost, is adaptable to allow hidden augmentations to not break or tear the synthetics.
Furthermore, the cyborg is able to purchase the Attractiveness Quality or Drawback.
Recoil Compensator
Cost: 6pts
The cyborg’s wrist is fitted with a powerful gyroscope that tries to absorb the recoil from firing
weapons. This decreases the penalties associated with firing more than one shot in a turn by 1, to a
minimum of 1.
Reaction Trigger
Cost: 15pts
The Reaction Trigger replaces and re-wires the spinal cord with a carbon fibre implant, coupled with
synthetic nerves that are integrated with the host’s own natural systems.
The Reaction Trigger gives the cyborg one additional action per turn, and increases the cyborg’s
Dexterity by +3. However, any roll of a 1 on a failed Dexterity test deals 1D8xthe number rolled as the
Trigger spasms and seizes up, causing considerable pain.
Data Jack
Cost: 3pts
The cyborg has a small metal strip no larger than a USB port where they can interface with electronic
systems that are capable of connection. Plugging directly into a computer or system gives the cyborg a
+2 to all Tasks associated with the interfaced machine.
Information Link
Cost: 3pt
The Information Link is the equivalent of having a smart-phone installed in your cranium, it can be
used to contact those you know, and can be linked to radios for close-knit operations.
Memory Storage Unit
Cost: 4pts
The MSU is a miniature device no larger than a two-penny piece attached to the prefrontal cortex. With
but a thought, the augmented human can progress memories faster and clearer than normal and can
even transfer them to the MSU via simple neural thought.
The MSU gives the cyborg a +2 to all memory-based tests they are required to do. If the cyborg
wishes to download their memories onto the MSU it takes a single turn (or five seconds) worth of
concentration for the file to be transferred and can be extracted via a Datajack implant.
29 | P a g e
Radar Ghost System
Cost: 5pts
The cyborg has a small lattice of micro-cables layered over their skeletal structure that emits faint
disruptive signals that blur the cyborg’s visual signature, making it difficult for automated and
electronic security systems to detect or remember the cyborg.

Integrated Weapon Systems

Not all cyborgs carry weapons, some have they built
into their bodies! The cost of this augmentation depends
on the weapon in question and modifications made to it.
Any weapons with the Large keyword cannot be used as

integrated weapons, all others are fair game.
The initial cost for the weapon is equal to half its
average damage. This can be calculated by dividing the
number in brackets next to the weapon’s damage (see
the Chapter 4 – To Arms! weapon section for details on
weapons). The primary location for weapons is the
shoulders, the chest or the arms themselves. Firing
Integrated Weapons uses the respective Guns (Type)
skill in order to fire it.
Weapon Modifications

box attached to the top or side of the weapon that emits A Combat Cyborg equipped with two

approximate distance of a target.
Retractable
Cost: 5pts
The weapon either is hidden away, inside the arm or inside the shoulder joint or chest compartment
where it unfolds and assembles itself (takes one Action). Retractable weapons are difficult to detect by

Cost: 5pts
The weapon comes fitted with an auto-reloader that feeds bullets and ammunition into the weapon
without the cyborg having to do the deed manually. If the gun runs out of ammo then naturally the
reloader stops working until the cyborg can acquire more ammo.

A complete list of Magical Spells
Purchasing Spells
Each Spell costs a certain amount of Metaphysic points to acquire. Spells only have one effect and do
have no multiple levels like in Witchcraft and Armageddon – The End Times.
Spells cost Metaphysic points, which are located just underneath the title of the Magic Spell’s level
category. The typical Metaphysic point cost for spells is the Level of that spell plus two, though some
later spells cost much more, Magic can also be ‘purchased’ reflecting the character obtaining a personal
tutor or learning through intense study, magical spells cost one-thousand times their level in Credits.
Magic cannot be ‘shared’ to other magic-users and can only be acquired from the source such as spell
books or by the blessing of a god.
Acquiring Spells
Remember that all magic-users can only purchase spells equal to the following formula (Intelligence +
Willpower/2) + Magic Theory, this is to represent their metaphysical understanding of the nature of
magic and its complexities.
Casting Spells
All Spells have Levels, and in order to cast them the magic-user needs to roll their Willpower and Spell
Casting Special Skill and score at least one success, the Levels impose a penalty equal to their number
plus one, so a Level 1 Spell imposes a -2 penalty, but a Level Fourteen Spell imposes a penalty of -15!
Any magic-user can cast any of the spells present here, but must have the required Essence, which is
why Places of Power are so valuable to magic-users who crave power.

Willpower.
Sub-Particle Acceleration
Essence Cost: 20
This handy spell conjures a beam of super-charged particles in a similar manner to a laser rifle,
inflicting 1d8x5 Energy Damage to a single target with the following range 15/20/25/30/35.
Level Eight Spells

and allowing them to track footprints even in near-impossible conditions.

Willpower of the caster to anyone within a radius of ten foot of the globe when it strikes its target.
Forcebonds

Greater Healing
Essence Cost: 30
This spell immediately heals any one other character by 2d10x2 Life Points.
Invincible Armour
Essence Cost: 30
Like Eldritch Armour and Armour of Ithan, this spell creates a semi-visible suit of impressive full plate,
providing an additional AV of 30 to any armour the character is currently wearing, this armour also
ignores all forms of additional damage caused by Fire, Slashing and Energy attacks.
Lifeward
Essence Cost: 40
Can only be cast on another character, when successfully cast this spell allows a ‘second wind’ from a
near-death experience. When that character’s Life Points drop below their threshold, they immediately
must make a Survival Test with all associated penalties for negative life points, if they pass they
immediately regain 10d10 Life and Endurance Points. This spell cannot be cast multiple times on a
single character, as additional Lifewards have no effect.
45 | P a g e
Locate
Essence Cost: 30
By knowing another person’s aura, the caster can project a detecting ‘field’ of invisible energy out for a
radius of a hundred meters per two points of Willpower they have. Only the strongest magical
protections can block this spell, if the target character is within this range, the caster knows their
approximate direction, but not their actual location.
Magical-Adrenal Rush
Essence Cost: 45
This mighty spell doubles one target character’s Strength for the duration of one turn per two points of
Willpower the character has! This boost does not affect Life or Endurance points however.
Negate Magic
Essence Cost: 30
This powerful counter-magic spell aims to negate the effects of a spell as it is being cast. Whenever a
spell-caster successfully casts a spell, this spell can be cast if the caster is able to and must succeed at
a Willpower and Spell Casting roll with a penalty equal to the rival caster’s Willpower. If the rival caster
wins then their spell resolves as normal, otherwise the effect fizzles and they lose the Essence as if the
spell had failed to cast.
Power Weapon
Essence Cost: 35
Like Enchant Weapon, Power Weapon enhances the damage and accuracy of the weapon in question.
The weapon receives a bonus to strike its targets equal to the Willpower of the wielder and any
damage caused by it deals double damage after any damage modifiers are calculated. This spell lasts
for two turns per point of Willpower the wielder has.
Shockwave
Essence Cost: 45
The immense spell projects a huge circle of kinetic force that deals 8d10 Blunt damage to all
characters within ten foot of the caster. Anyone bracing themselves by holding onto an object may roll
a Very Difficult Dexterity test to avoid being sucked up in the maelstrom. Those who are not so lucky
take 1d4 multiplied by the Caster’s Willpower in Life Point damage when they fall back to earth,
characters who fly are unaffected by the falling damage as they automatically reset themselves in the
air after the initial blast.
Spoil (Water/Food)
Essence Cost: 30
The opposite of the Purification (Food/Water) spell! This spell makes a similar amount of food and drink
corrupt and spoiled; if anyone drinks or eats any of the corrupted food, they immediately lose 1d4 x
the Willpower of the caster as they begin vomiting and become dreadfully sick.
Wisps of Confusion
Essence Cost: 40
This spell affects up to the caster’s Willpower in target characters who must make resisted Willpower
tests with penalties equal to the caster’s own willpower or suffer a -6 to all actions the following turn.
46 | P a g e
World Bizarre
Essence Cost: 40
This insane spell creates a vivid illusion that everyone within the caster’s Willpower times ten sees the
nearby landscape transform into a horrifying visage of some mad realm, trees grow eyes and teeth,
tendrils sprout from the ground and the caster transforms into a terrifying eldritch monster! Everyone
affected must make a Fear Test with a -9 penalty, those who roll on the table due to the effect of this
spell can gain Madness Points, this effect lasts until the characters either pass the Fear Test or recover
from their Fear Reaction.
Level Nine Spells

Eleven Metaphysic points each
Aura of Doom
Essence Cost: 40
For duration in turns equal to the Caster’s Willpower, the target character has their attributes halved
unless they succeed at a contested Willpower test. This spell has no effect on the following creatures;
Fae, Elementals, Greater Demons, Dragons and all types of Gods, (Demigods, Godlings, Gods),
Seraphim, Archangels, robots and cyborg characters.
Beat Insurmountable Odds

Essence Cost: 80
This incredible spell is cast in retaliation to a disastrous outcome, if a character would take Massive
Damage or some event that would lead to their death, Beat Insurmountable Odds allows them to
survive... barely.
If a character receives Massive Damage and would normally die instantly or would otherwise die; they
survive the incident with 1 Life and Endurance Point left and have their Strength, Dexterity and
Constitution reduced to 1 for an hour afterwards. After this hour are they able to recover Life and
Endurance points normally, furthermore the character must pass a Consciousness test every ten
minutes or collapse into a deep sleep, where they awaken eight hours later.
Use of such a spell is a prime opportunity for the character’s player in question and the Chronicler to
devise and epic return for a character presumed dead!
Dragon Fire
Essence Cost: 40
Like the spell suggests, the character belches a torrent of white-hot fire and deals 6d12 points of
Energy and Fire damage to anyone with a 90-degree arc in front of the character, much like a
flamethrower with a range equal to the caster’s Willpower times ten in meters.
Mute
Essence Cost: 50
This spell prevents any sound made by a character’s voice box and vocal chords for 1 minute or 1
combat turn per Willpower level unless they succeed at a Resisted Willpower Test

Str 7, Dex 5, Con 8, Int 3, Per 4, Wil 4. Life Points: 95, Endurance Points, 96 and has a Speed of 39.
The mount remains until either the caster dismisses it or its Life Points are reduced to zero, at which
point it fades away in a minute shower of sparks.
47 | P a g e
Protection Circle: Simple
Essence Cost: 45 or five to reactive an old, intact circle.
Protection Circle creates a vast ring filled with mystic runes that protects anyone inside of it from all
kinds of supernatural creatures (though such beings may traverse the ring if the caster lets them). It
provides an Armour Value equal to ten times the caster’s Willpower and has a Damage Capacity equal
to fifty times their Willpower!
Purge Self
Essence Cost: 70
This powerful spell instantly destroys all diseases, infections and parasites inside the character’s body.
It is also the only known spell that can reverse the alterations made to someone’s body through the
horrific magical process known as Bio-Wizardry, any such grafts and parasites fall away from the
character and retreat as quickly as they can. Sadly, this spell cannot restore any physical damage;
including scarring, deformity or any mutations they have, neither can it restore lost limbs.
Speed of the Snail

Essence Cost: 50
This spell cripples the speed of his or her enemies, a maximum number of characters equal to the
caster’s willpower can be affected, and if those characters fail a resisted Willpower test against the
caster then those characters have their Speed reduced to 5 for 1d 8+2 turns.
Swords to Snakes
Essence Cost: 50
As the name suggests, the pacifying spell transforms any non-magical, non-rune weapon into a
toothless snake that wiggles out of the characters hand and slithers around the floor in a random
direction. The snakes return to weapons in 1d4+2 turns time, a character can force the snake to return
to a weapon if they know what has happened by making a resisted Willpower test against the caster,
they can only do this once per turn.
Transfer Power
Essence Cost: 50
After paying the initial cost, the caster and temporarily transfer his or her magical Essence to another
character, the amount given is chosen by the caster and the receiver immediately gains that many
additional points, which may take them beyond their normal maximum amount. This spell lasts for as
long as the giving caster allows it to.
Wall of Defence
Essence Cost: 55
This spell projects a semi-visible wall with a DC of 100 and an AV of 25 with a height and width equal
to the character’s Willpower times two, and times four respectively, there must be enough space for
the wall to be projected. However, if the area is too small, the wall of defence will decrease in size to
fit. The wall remains until it is destroyed.
48 | P a g e
Level Ten Spells
Twelve Metaphysic points each
Armour Bane
Essence Cost: 100
This immense spell reduces the total Armour Value of any armour worn by one target character to a
tenth of its normal value (after it has been calculated). This spell can only be cast on a character once,
until it fades away in the caster’s Willpower in turns times.
Havoc
Essence Cost: 70
This earth-trembling spell projects a wave of destruction that spreads out in all directions and knocks
over any character within 50 foot of the caster causing 1d10x10 blunt damage. By making a Heroic (-
7) Dexterity test results in the character only receiving half the damage caused by this spell, flying
characters are unaffected, otherwise the character is knocked to the ground.
Magic Warrior
Essence Cost: 60
Creating an image of a powerful, armoured warrior fashioned from pure Essence. They follow the
caster’s instruction to the word and are very loyal, being immune to all forms of illusion and mind-
altering affects. The Magic Warrior is solid enough to be struck with conventional weapons and has the
following statistics.
Magic Warrior
Str 4 Dex 4 Con 4 Int 3 Per 3 Wil 3
LPs: 40 End: N/A Ess: 20
Skills: Hand Weapon (Any) 4, Dodge 4, Shield 3
The Magic Warrior’s physical attributes can be increased at a rate of one point per four Essence spent.

either the caster dies or they do upon reaching zero or less Life Points when they fade away to
nothingness.
Meteor
Essence Cost: 75
Calls down a huge meteor to blast an area of 12 meters in size with exploding rock! It deals 1d8x20
Energy and Fire damage to anyone within the vicinity who is unable to escape (Dodge test with a
penalty equal to twice the Willpower of the caster).
Purge Other
Essence Cost: 100
As Purge Self, except that the character can cast it on another character.
Restore Limb
Essence Cost: 80

course of two minutes after which sensation returns to the chosen character within a few seconds of
the limb’s restoration.
49 | P a g e
Twin Strike
Essence Cost: 100
One chosen character’s weapons move with blistering speed allowing them to attack twice whenever
they would normally utilise an action to attack. In short, whenever the character fires a weapon or
attacks with a melee weapon, the defending character is hit with the initial strike followed by another
exact duplicate of the first attack! For ranged weapons like guns this means that for every bullet that
hits a character, two hit them instead! This has no effect on heavy artillery or rocket-launchers.
Super Healing
Essence Cost: 70
This spell restores a massive amount of lost Life Points to a single character, 4d10x3 Life Points are
restored per successful use of this spell.

values presented there.
Wards
Essence Cost: 90
This incredible spell provides near-perfect protection against all forms of supernatural creatures,
specifically a certain type, which is chosen when the wards are made: Seraphim (all angels and
archangels) Demons (Lesser, Greater, King/Queen) Elementals (All types, Lesser Greater) and all Fae-
like creatures, and Dimensional Beings. Anyone attempting to interfere or traverse through the Wards
is immediately paralysed unless they may a Near-Impossible Willpower Test (-9) to resist its effects.
Then if they succeed, the supernatural finds that their attacks only do half damage, and they cannot
utilise Essence whilst under the effect of a Ward.
Wards have a Strength Value equal to four times the Willpower of the caster, which decreases each
turn equal to half the Willpower of the trapped supernatural. When the Strength of a Ward is lowered
to zero, the Ward breaks and the creature is freed once more.
Level Eleven Spells

Thirteen Metaphysic points each
Anti-Magic Cloud
Essence Cost: 120
Many magic-users refuse to acknowledge the existence of this spell, for when the Anti-Magic Cloud
hangs over their head, no magical spells, or Technomancer Devices can be cast or used! If any spells
are cast, they get absorbed into the Anti-Magic Cloud and are dispersed within its mass. The Anti-
Magic cloud affects an area of ten foot per Willpower point of the caster and lasts for 1 turn per two
points of the caster’s Willpower.

projectiles and melee attacks.
50 | P a g e

point of Willpower, flying characters are unaffected by this spell.

Legendary Spells cannot be inscribed.
Once learned, the Magic Scroll cannot be used again as the magic within is used up.
Curse of the World Bizarre

Essence Cost: 80
This spell affects only one individual and acts the same as World Bizarre only that its duration lasts
much longer. The afflicted character must test for Fear every half-an-hour and it lasts for a number of
hours equal to the caster’s Willpower halved.
Disharmonise
Essence Cost: 120
This spell has the same effect as Wisps of Confusion, except that the penalty is increased to -9 and can
affect two characters per point of Willpower the character has.

Curse cannot be cast on that same character for an hour, after which more attempts can be made.
Re-Open Gateway
Essence Cost: 150
This spell allows the caster to reactive any already existing dimensional or inter-planar rift they come
across, it opens to the same location it was calibrated to if possible, otherwise it deposits any travellers
1d4x5 miles in a random direction away from the original point.
See In Magical Darkness

Essence Cost: 100
Certain locations are shrouded in mystical shadows that some occult scholars claim are alive, the evil
Shadowlands of the Devil Kingdoms and the Black Sea are entirely composed of this evil blackness.

Perception attribute, the grappled character loses d8x2 Life Points each turn without Damage
Resistance or Armour Values allowed.

52 | P a g e
Level Thirteen Spells
Fifteen Metaphysic points each

Essence Cost: 250/20 to reactive old Circle

twenty times the Willpower of the caster. The Protection Circle has a Damage Capacity and Armour

Sanctum
Essence Cost: 290
This spell is a similar version to the Sheltering Force spell except that it creates a mystical tower some
fifty-foot in height and has triple the DC of Sheltering Force, but otherwise operates the same. The
tower comes equipped with a dozen different rooms that can be used for storage or otherwise. The
tower lasts for 1d6x2 days, additional days cost 50 Essence after which it silently disappears into thin

Chapter 5 – Adversaries of the Hell Wars
A selection of existing villains in the Hell Wars
Page | 60
A note on Adversaries
The Adversary drawback reflects that someone or something has become a nemesis for the character,
a murderer who slew a character’s family or some evil creature obsessed with the character’s ultimate
demise. Too many Adversaries can bog down a game with each not getting the ‘screen time’ they
deserve, discuss with your player group which adversaries would best fit with the group’s theme and
identity.. Adversaries do not have to be chosen from the small list of characters below and can be
invented alongside your Chronicler to add a personal conflict to
your character(s).
Morok, Fallen Cosmic Knight

It is a sad truth and even the mightiest of the Order of the
Cosmic Forge have fallen victim to base temptations. Morok was
once a noble Cosmic Knight Errant Lord who joined forces with
the evil deity known as Sahtalus, utilising his own incredible
powers to destroy the Texan Cosmic Knight Order from within,
his plan ultimately failed but not before he escaped with a score
of twenty loyal and equally corrupted Knights with the intent of
creating a new order of Devil Knights.
He has not been seen for months after the dimensional rifts
opened and the war began, but the other Cosmic Lords have
issued a decree to all knights to destroy Morok and any of his
Devil Knights.
Morok is a powerful foe, a gifted magician and warrior; he not

only has access to the powers of his former order but has
obtained new, demon magics and has sacrificed many to his new
master in return for dark powers.
As an Adversary
Morok as an Adversary would be worth eight points, representing
his own level of power and his order of Devil Knights. Likely
characters to have him as an Adversary would be Dewtani or Cosmic Knight Errant characters.
The Bloodhunters
A truly base, depraved group of bounty
hunters and murderers who have pledged
themselves to the highest bidders, the
demons themselves! Promising all the wealth,
food and weaponry they can have in return
for a monumental amount of souls, they
consist of a Combat Cyborg named Brutus, a
wiry Mattermancer called Slithus and three
Headhunters with varying augmentations
named Simek, Dumur and Ellison.
As an Adversary
The Bloodhunters hate everybody! Virtually

anyone can be a target for these sick
gangers. Although not in the same league as Morok or Theron they still pose a significant threat with
their reckless behaviour and combined might , as an Adversary the entire gang is worth 5 points.

Theron Ironmane
A Technomancer of incredible power, Theron
betrayed humanity by creating an artificial
dimensional doorway and plunging Africa into
a hellish wasteland now overrun by demons.
Theron harvests the corpses of the dead and
barters with devils to obtain relics and other
powerful components for his devices, his
most infamous being his set of demon-bone
armour and a ruby ring that shoots boiling
blood. Theron is a wholly evil mortal whose
depravity knows no bounds, he has been
seen all over the world, becoming more
demonic as time passes, for now it is known
that a tribe of Mastadonoids forced him to
retreat to the Demon Lands of Hell where he
plots and schemes.
As an Adversary
Theron uses his dark science and necromantic talents to compose foul Technomancer Devices against
his foes, making him an ideal Adversary for Technomancers and Mastadonoids, who despise him for his
wars of genocide against their kind and for the heinous crime of grave-robbing their elders. Theron is
worth six points as an Adversary.
Son of the Black Furnace

This terrifying giant is a interdimensional hunter without
peer! Standing some thirty-foot tall, the Son is equipped
with alien cybernetics of incredible power and the Hell
Wars have become his new battleground, he seems to
be on the hunt or someone, or something. Despite his
infamy, little is known about the Son other than his
hellish appearance and titantic stature, a rumour exists
within the walls of the Order of the Cosmic-Forge say
that he is the last of an alien race destroyed long ago,
as the markings and scripture on his armour do not
relate to any information known about beings from other
worlds. Whatever his origins, the Son of the Black
Furnace has made himself a nemesis to the Order by
proclaiming he would take the powers of the Forge for
himself!
As an Adversary
The Son of the Black Furnace is a dangerous opponent

equipped with futuristic alien technology of bizarre and
dangerous capabilities, he has killed hundreds of soldiers
and his augmented physical strength can shatter bones
and bring death to all that oppose him. The might of the
Son is worth seven points as a Adversary, he makes an
ideal villain for Cosmic-Knight Errants and any
augmented characters, as he has been known to tear
cybernetics off of those he deems ‘unfit’ to embrace them!
