Rule Book - Fables of Fenorra

Now his pyramid is ready for the
new spell level. Imagine the
pyramid as needing the proper
support for the 4th level spell has
been made by making sure there
are two 3rd level spell slots
below. (The foundation for the
two 3rd level slots was made
when he had three 2nd level
slots, and so on down the line.) He
can buy his first 4th level spell slot
(figure 3-3).
If Phillip wants to buy a 5th level
slot, he can do so without having
to buy any more 1st level slots
because four is the maximum
required. He must support the 5th
level slot by buying a 2nd, 3rd,
and a 4th in that order to make the
pyramid (figure 3-4)
Phillip now has a perfect pyramid
again. If he wants, he can stop
buying 2nd level spells now, as
four is the maximum required. His
pyramid will then progress with
the purchase of a 3rd level spell
slot, and then a 4th, 5th, and then
his first 6th level spell slot.
If Phillip has all the slots listed in
the pattern above (figure 3-4) and
then decides that he wants a fifth
2nd level spell slot, he must first
buy another 1st level slot and a
fourth 3rd level spell slot to
support the 2nd level spell slot.
After he buys the 1st and 3rd level
spell slots, he can get the 2nd level
spell slot he wanted (see figure 3-
5).
The pyramid must continue to be built and it must be
built from the ground up! Note that the pattern is
very set as to which spell slots have to be next
purchased unless you wish to buy more than four
spell slots of any one level. There is potentially no
limit to the number of spells per level as long as this
progression is maintained. If Phillip wanted to keep
“bottoming out” his pyramid, he could end up with a
pyramid that has nine 1st level spells, eight 2nd level
spells, seven 3rd level spells, and so on up to one 9th
level spell.
Skill Costs
Below and on the following pages are the charts
listing the Build Point costs of skills. Each skill has
six cost columns associated with it: F (fighter), H
(highwayman) R (rogue), M (Magent), S (scholar)
and T (templar). Note that all classes may buy any
skill; they just might have to pay more Build Points.
When buying skills, you should be aware of the
prerequisites as well. For instance, to buy Weapon
proficiency, you must first have a weapon skill to be
proficient in and four critical attack skills. To learn
how to cast celestial spells, you must first know how
to read and Write and Magic.
A good way to design your character is to imagine
him or her at a higher level and work backwards.
Figure out which skills you would like to have and
how many Build Points you will have to spend for
the skills. Try it with different classes to see which
costs the least.
