Shards Of Reality - SD10 - Core Rules

Description:

Shards Of Reality (or short SOR) is a d10 based simple and lightweight system, that is heavily inspired by anime and anime based systems.

You can be a shuriken throwing catgirl, or an android throwing plasma bolts while powering up large blasts before punching the enemy where it hurts most.

Fight goblins, bandits or even dragons while you level up your jobs. Yes Jobs, as you are not constrained to a single job (which in other games are called classes),

but instead you can level them up individually while gaining all of their powers. This puts power and flexibility into your hand and thus you can become a healer if

the party healer has no time to attend a session, while being he tank the other times. And if needs be train via a skill book to gain the skills necessary to beat the dragon emperor into submission.

The flexibility is there and thus the power is yours to wield and the choice is yours. Use these rules to write your own anime inspired story, as it is and always was YOUR STORY.

This book is offering you the core rules and example heritages, backgrounds, jobs, items and adversaries. It will be expanded upon in later books called playbooks.
