Get Back Up (Ability)

When you take Severe damage, you can mark a Stress to reduce the severity by one threshold.

Campaign Features

The Age of Umbra (Campaign Frame)

As you gain scars, you become slowly corrupted by the Umbra. When you deal damage, you deal extra damage equal to your number of scars. When you mark your last Hope slot with a scar, you don’t retire, you instead succumb to the Umbra’s influence and charge forever into the dark to join the terrors that stalk lightless spaces.

Guardian Hope (Unique Hope Feature)

Frontline Tank: Spend 3 Hope to clear 2 Armor Slots.

Class Features

Guardian - Unstoppable

Once per long rest, you can become Unstoppable. You gain an Unstoppable Die. At level 1, your Unstoppable Die is a d4. Place it on your character sheet in the space provided, starting with the 1 value facing up. After you make a damage roll that deals 1 or more Hit Points to a target, increase the Unstoppable Die value by one. When the die’s value would exceed its maximum value or when the scene ends, remove the die and drop out of Unstoppable. At level 5, your Unstoppable Die increases to a d6.

While Unstoppable, you gain the following benefits:

Character Concept

Augustus appears to be a refined warrior with a military background, possibly traumatized by past conflicts (shell shocked) but maintaining sophisticated tastes. As a Galapa Guardian, he represents a specific tradition within the Guardian class, focusing on protective abilities and frontline combat.

Character background: Augustus Penhallow is a highborn statesman from the ailing city-state of Virelia, a place where silver tongues and silent daggers keep court in equal measure. Once a pillar of unity in the ruling council, Augustus spent decades trying to preserve the fragile peace between noble houses after the collapse of the the Grand Order. But now, that peace has decayed into veiled feuds, political blackmail, and proxy wars waged through mercantile sabotage.

  • Unique Mechanic: Unstoppable ability provides escalating damage and damage reduction
