Selected Option:

The Realm of Bethica system

     The Realm of Bethica is a traditional fantasy roleplaying game with non- traditional mechanics, utilizing a skill based system in place of classes and allowing a large degree of character customization and freedom, including the ability for players to craft their own spells.
     Utilizing the Universal Battles system as a base, the Realm of Bethica itself is a unique fantasy setting with a diverse set of races and creatures, including traditional and original takes on classic creatures such as goblins and fae, and the inclusion of less common monsters such as the alhuizotl.

Compare and Contrast

     List of differences from the world’s most popular and longest running rpgs.

Classes’ vs Skills

     While many modern rpgs have increased the level of customization available to the player, the traditional d20 systems are still limited by a class system. With the skill system of The Realm of Bethica players are given a greater degree of freedom to create the character they imagine.

Spell Lists vs Spell crafting

     Though The Realm of Bethica supplies a list of spells for those looking for a quick list, its unique spell crafting system allows for players to truly customize what it is they want to do with magic. With this your magic users can cast spells unique to their characters and reflecting their own personalities and stories.

Traditional vs New & Different

     The Realms of Bethica has numerous creatures that fall into the more traditional side of things, but also offers distinct new takes on classic fantasy creatures, such as trolls, Fae, and even common fantasy creatures such as undead skeletons, giving them a fearsome new edge.

More about the Game

     The Realm of Bethica is a fantasy RPG built on a natural and intuitive D10 game system that emphasizes player innovation and critical thinking. As the debut offering from Universal Battles LLC, more than thirty years in the making, The Realm of Bethica promises to lead you on a dynamic and ever-changing journey across a breathing world, in which a long-forgotten evil threatens to resurface on a splintered land. 

     Will you be a mighty Fighter charging into battle alongside your allies, or will you be a dastardly Rogue who strikes from the shadows? Will you take up the mantle of a Sorcerer and rain down wave after wave of arcane fury on your foes, or will you pledge yourself to the divinities as a merciful Cleric? Within the framework of these four Archetypes, The Realm of Bethica employs the Genesis Archetype system, allowing players to customize their characters and modify their skillset down to the last detail.

     The Realm of Bethica is crafted from the same leather as all role-playing games — players embark on grand adventures under the guidance of a GM, with formidable obstacles and terrifying monsters hounding them at every turn. But beneath the surface, Bethica's streamlined yet amazingly customizable system makes the game fun and intuitive on a level rarely seen before. In Bethica's lightning-fast and streamlined combat system, players decide their fates with a few simple rolls — calculating both chance to hit and damage dealt at once — instead of wasting valuable playtime flipping through supplements. Moreover, under the game's revolutionary spell system, players are the architects of their spells, this allows them to design and tailor their spells to give them their own unique flavor.

We are currently working on some new updates to the rules, such as advantages and disadvantages, new techniques, talent modifications, race enhancements, and more. We are also working on adding it to Fantasy ground and a web interface where you can create and store your characters in a digital format.

On page 55 (56 on the PDF), the description of the "Necromancer" archetype seems lacking: it names them "Arcane Savants", and the description of the archetype's features seem to have nothing to do with necromancy. Is this an error or are they supposed to be called Arcane Savants? Are their features supposed to be that generic? It clashes with the descriptions of the other archetypes, which are quite specific and obviously in theme with each archetype.

After reading through it a bit more, it definitely is an error, there is nothing that points out this archetype as being a Necromancer archetype, please fix it.

We are working on some revision, to the rules, I will look more into that. The system is meant for players to design their own archetype, and the Pregens are just simple examples. If a player chooses to focus on the Necromancy, then they choose Necromancy as their arcane sphere. But I see what you mean. I will list it since this was an example of a necromancer.

You should really consider a digital version, and at the absolute least add a preview; most folks aren't going to drop $50 for a product sight-unseen.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
