Fantasci
Science Fiction Fantasy th to the 20 Power! Once we were legends. Walking side by side with creatures of myth on farflung worlds, soaring through the skies with ease and even mounting chariots that approached the realm of the Gods themselves. For his arrogance man ’ fury scorched the world. Despite this grave was struck down and the Gods punishment and the warnings of the Church of the True, there are those who persist in experimenting with machines, called “infernal tech ” for weaponry and transportation. Even more disturbing to the Church are those who have embraced black magic and witchcraft. For these transgressions the Black Horde walk the land. Against these hordes heroes emerge, some using the very infernal tech the Church says has caused the Gods to visit another punishment on mankind. Fantasci is about those who stand against the Black Horde. Heroes to the people, heretics to the church, they are the Men of Legend, the Heroes of Fantasci.

Creature Creator
Creatures of Aurianis Monsters in Fantasci work much like any other type of character. That is, they use the same six classes as any other character, the same skills and the same feats and so forth. The only difference between a monster and a character are in the realm of backgrounds, occupations, hobbies or Reputation. Creatures do not normally have these items, though intelligent creatures might at the game master’s discretion. This section offers some new feats as well as guidelines to allow you to build a wide array of monsters and creatures.
Size One of the things that differentiate animals from characters is the wide range of sizes and shapes they come in. While a creature’s shape doesn’t affect its statistics, its size does. If a creature is larger or smaller than a character, modify its base scores according to the table below.
Creature Feats Creatures have access to all the feats a character does at the game master’s discretion. The following feats are unique to creatures and may only be selected by characters at the game master’s discretion. Creatures do not normally have any feat restrictions based on their class (consider this a benefit of an invisible creature “occupation” that affects the creature in no other way). If a creature should have a feat based on its type from the Brainiac list, for example, the game master should feel free to assign the feat to that creature regardless of role.
Similarly, sometimes a game master may want a creature to have a certain feat without raising its level, since this might make the overall creature more powerful than he intended by raising everything else (BAB, Def, HP, saves). In these cases, the game master should simply assign the

Fantasci Creatures as characters In some campaigns, the game master may decide to allow one or more characters to play creatures as their characters. While this can be fun, balance can become an issue. If a creature is played as a character, care must be taken that this is not used as an excuse for the character to operate by different rules than his fellow characters. For example, the Winter Wolf in the creatures below is a game master creation designed to be a fun, challenging encounter. Should a PC Winter Wolf be allowed, that character should have to take levels in the Brainiac class like any other character to gain the Elemental Beam abilities. Size increases should similarly be allowed with great caution. Of course, a PC creature will also be entitled to advantages that most creatures are not, such as a normal range of ability scores, a Background, Occupation, Hobby and Reputation and so forth. creature a bonus feat. To avoid confusion, bonus feats in the sample creatures below are marked like so: Feat Name B. Take care with assigning bonus feats however. While you are not increasing a creature’s power level as much as if you assigned the creature an extra level, you are increasing its power level, especially if two or more bonus feats are added to the same creature. Either give the creature a significant disadvantage to compensate, or use the creature sparingly. An example of this can be found in the Ooze samples below. Though these creatures have a bonus feat, they are slow and easy to hit, making them extremely vulnerable to arrow fire or elemental damage. This makes these creatures much easier opponents, more in line with their level, so long as the PCs aren’t trying to capture them, which brings the Ooze’s natural resistance to blunt damage into play.
Adaptation, Air You are adapted to life in the air. Effect: You are immune to air attacks but suffer double damage for earth attacks. You gain a +2 Defense bonus against ranged attacks but your Defense suffers a –2 penalty against melee attacks. You gain a +20 ft. flight speed, while all your other movement categories are reduced by –20 ft. Special: You may take this feat multiple times to represent a further adaptation to the air, increasing your Flight speed by +10 ft. but also decreasing your run speed by –10 ft.
Adaptation, Aquatic You are adapted to life in the water. Effect: You are immune to water attacks but suffer double damage from earth attacks. Any water elemental attacks you launch inflict an extra die of damage, while any earth attacks you launch inflict one less die of damage. You are able to breathe water as well as air (if you are only able to breathe water, treat this as a Disability character disadvantage). Your Swim speed is increased by +20 ft. while your land speed is decreased by –20 ft.
You are amphibious and perfectly able to live for extended periods on land or in the water. If you suffer damage from prolonged absence from the water, simulate this with an Allergic Reaction disadvantage.
Adaptation, Arctic You are adapted to a cold climate. Effect: You are immune to cold attacks but suffer double damage from fire attacks. Any cold elemental attacks you launch inflict an extra die of damage, while any fire attacks you launch inflict one less die of damage.
Adaptation, Earth You are one with the earth. Effect: You are immune to earth attacks but suffer double damage from water attacks. Any elemental earth attacks you launch inflict an extra die of damage, while any elemental water attacks you launch inflict one less die of damage.
Adaptation, Fire You are adapted to a hot climate. Effect: You are immune to fire attacks but suffer double damage from cold attacks. Any fire elemental attacks you launch inflict an extra die of damage while any cold attacks you launch inflict one less die of damage.
Air Eater You gain energy from elemental air. Prerequisite: Air Adaptation Effect: Elemental air attacks heal you rather than hurt you (roll damage normally but treat this amount as magical healing rather than damage).
Alpha You are the leader of a pack. Effect: You gain 6 Resource Points. These RP can only be used to purchase followers. Special: You may select this feat multiple times.

Creature Creator Diseased You carry an infectious disease and can pass it on by touch. Effect: When you select this feat, pick one ability score. When you succeed in an unarmed attack against another character, he must make a Fortitude save (DC 10+ your character level) or contract the illness, immediately suffering one point of ability damage in the chosen ability score. This ability damage does not heal automatically. Each day after that, the afflicted individual receives a Recovery save (DC 10+your character level+1 for each previously failed save) to recover one point of ability damage. Eventually, if the patient doesn’t heal, this save will become impossible, at which time the effect is permanent. The Medicine skill and medicines created with the Chemistry skill use of Pharmacology work normally on the disease inflicted by this feat. Special: This feat may be selected more than once. If a different ability score is chosen, a single attack forces a saving throw to avoid ability damage to multiple ability scores. If the same ability score is chosen, the ability damage increases as follows: two feats (1d2 ability damage), three feats (1d4 ability damage), four feats (1d6 ability damage) and so on to a maximum ability damage of 2d10 for nine feats. Increasing Constitution damage costs double (4 feats for 1d2 ability and so on) since these diseases are the most dangerous, with the disease actually worsening the target’s ability to resist (by reducing Con and thus reducing Recovery saves). If a disease damages multiple ability scores, a single Recovery save recovers 1 point in all affected ability scores. Ability damage from this ability cannot cause death instantaneously. If an ability score is reduced to 0 through this ability the patient falls into a coma. From there, standard recovery rules apply, with the patient making multiple saves each day to attempt to recover both from the disease and the coma.
Earth Bound You draw strength from the earth. Prerequisite: Earth Adaptation Effect: While in contact with the ground, all damage inflicted on you is non-lethal. If you are separated from the ground for any reason (lifted into the air, into the water) you suffer one point of lethal damage each round.
Earth Eater Elemental energies of the earth restore you. Prerequisite: Earth Adaptation Effect: Elemental earth attacks heal you rather than damage you (roll damage normally but treat this amount as magical healing rather than damage).
Elemental Physiology You are composed of living elemental matter. Effect: You are immune to poison and disease and do not need to breathe or eat. White magic and other forms of magical healing have no effect on you.

Fantasci Natural Armor
Size Decrease
Your skin is tough. Effect: You gain 2 DR. This damage reduction must be vulnerable to one type of physical damage (Ballistic, Blunt, Slashing or Piercing) or there must be one hit location where your armor does not cover. This ability stacks with all forms of damage reduction, including wearing armor. For example, a character with Natural Resistance (Ballistic) granting 4 DR and Natural Armor (DR 2/ piercing) would have 6 DR against Blunt and Slashing attacks, 2 DR against Ballistic attacks, and 4 DR against Piercing attacks. Special: You may select this feat more than once and its effects stack.
Natural Resistance Your body is naturally resistant to one type of damage. Prerequisite: Con 13+ Effect: You gain damage reduction to a single type of damage (Ballistic, Blunt, Slashing, Piercing) equal to your Constitution modifier.
Natural Weapons (Blunt) You have natural weapons. Effect: Your unarmed attacks inflict bludgeoning damage. These could be blunt horns, armor plating, or a clubbed appendage.
Natural Weapons (Piercing) You have natural weapons. Effect: Your unarmed attacks inflict piercing damage (which is always lethal damage). These could be fangs, claws, spines, talons or certain types of horns.
Ooze Physiology You are an ooze. Ewww! Effect: You are immune to poison and you suffer no damage modifiers from hit location, whether randomly determined or through a targeted attack (your entire body is effectively one large hit location). You are also immune to the Sneak Attack, Crippling Strike and Critical Strike feats (since your entire body is undifferentiated your opponents gain little benefit from catching you unawares).
Runner You are built for speed and can cover ground much faster than a typical character. Effect: Your run speed is increased by +20 ft. Special: You may select this feat multiple times.
You are significant smaller than a normal character. Effect: Your size decreases by one or two categories (your choice). Consult the table above for the ability modifiers granted by size. Special: You may select this feat multiple times, decreasing your size category by one or two each time.
Size Increase You are significantly larger than a normal character. Effect: Your size increases by one category. Consult the table above for the ability modifiers granted by size. Special: You may select this feat multiple times, increasing your size category by one each time.
Spirit Physiology You are a creature of the spirit realm. Prerequisite: You gain 1 Damage Reduction per level unaffected by spirit weapons or attacks. You can only heal through spirit transfers (see the various spirit feats for more information). You are also completely immune to poison and disease.
Tremor You shake the earth itself with your presence. Prerequisite: Huge Size or Earth Elemental Effect: As an attack action you may strike the ground, causing the ground to shake in a 20 ft. radius around you. Everyone in this area must make a Reflex saving throw (DC 10+ your character level) or be knocked prone and have their initiative reduced to 1+their Initiative modifier. Also, this ability effectively restarts combat, meaning all characters are flat-footed until they take their next action (which might be awhile since their initiative is now reduced).
Undead Physiology Though this might seem an oxymoron, the undead do have a physiology all their own (though a bizarre and necromancyinfluenced one). Effect: You are considered an undead for any ability that lists undead in its description (Dispel Undead, Vampiric Touch, Stench of Death). Your Constitution is reduced to 0 but you suffer no penalty to hit points from this. You do not heal naturally except through the use of spells or special abilities. Any ability that heals a living target damages you instead. You gain 2 Damage Reduction per level but this damage reduction has a weakness to a certain substance or to a certain hit location. For example your damage reduction

Creature Creator might be completely ineffective against hits by silver weapons, wood weapons or enchanted weapons. You also gain complete immunity to poison, disease, any attack that requires a Fortitude saving throw as well as fatigue and exhaustion. Finally, you are immune to the Critical Strike and Crippling Strike feats (though the Sneak Attack feat still grants its attack bonus as normal). Attacks against you are not modified by hit location (all locations on your body have a damage modifier of x1). You do not need to eat, breathe or sleep and are ageless.
Animals Typical Base Ability Scores: Str 15, Dex 13, Con 14, Int 2, Wis 14, Cha 6 Animals are creatures that might exist in the real world. In the world of Aurianis, a world infused with magic, this often leads to some fantastic creatures that only vaguely resemble their real world counterparts. The Outdoorsman skill is always a class skill for animals.

Elementals These creatures are even more in touch with elemental magic than oozes. While an ooze is infused with the elements, it is merely a sponge, absorbing the elements and their magical properties. Elementals are that primal force give life and sentience.
Air Elementals Typical Base Ability Scores: Str 8, Dex 18, Con 20, Int 10, Wis 12, Cha 6 Air Elemental, Medium (Speedfreak 10): HD 10d8+50; HP 95; Init +5; Spd 0 ft, Flight 60 ft; Defense 25 (27 ranged, 23 melee), flatfooted 20 (+5 Dex, +10 Class); BAB +7; Atk +6 melee (2d6-1, Unarmed), or ranged (7d4+0, Elemental Strike); SQ Need for Speed, Healed by Air, Vulnerable to Earth; AL none; SV Fort +10, Ref +12, Will +4, Rec +8; Rep NA; Str 8, Dex 21, Con 20, Int 10, Wis 12, Cha 6 Skills (perks): Acrobatics 13 (+20), Magic 13 (+13), Stealth 13 (+20), Unarmed 13 (+12)

Oozes Typical Base Ability Scores: Str 8, Dex 8, Con 18, Int 2, Wis 14, Cha 2 Oozes are creatures of proto-elemental matter that can grow quite large if allowed to feed on elemental energy undisturbed. Because they can become a danger to nearby settlements if allowed to grow too big and also because their gelatinous, elementally infused protoplasmic bodies are useful in certain magical experiments, oozes are worth more than the normal bounty if returned alive to a settlement. Instead of 10 plus the monster’s level, oozes are worth 10 plus 2 per level.
Special: All oozes receive the Ooze Physiology feat as a bonus feat.

Spirits Typical Base Ability Scores: Str 13, Dex 15, Con 14, Int 6, Wis 14, Cha 2 No one quite knows what spirits are but most scholars of magic feel they are magic, given form, substance and perhaps even a spark of sentience. Spirit bonders are especially fascinated by these creatures and some study them intensely.
