Age of Alchemy

A Steampunk RPG
The world of Sardonia
The world of Sardonia (Sar-DAWN-ee-a) is a savage world with both wild lands and civilization. Sardonia is divided into three
main continents; Albion, Ginseng, and Norvaria.

THE EMPIRE: The Empire is a continent far to the West that is very oppressive and slave-trade-driven. They are what the Albions
originated from and escaped so they can live in peace. No one likes to talk of it but it still lingers, like massive storm clouds on the
horizon.

ALBION: Albion is the largest of the continents but by no means the center of civilization. It was found by man only 200 years
ago and only half of the continent has been explored. The Northern half of the continent has been dedicated to rich farmlands and
forests. While cities do exist, they are separate city-states with their own laws. Between the northern and southern halves of Albion
is the Serpents Ridge, a single trail of maintains the form a natural barrier between the halves of the continent. The Dwarves live in
those mountains and rarely come out to trade. South of that is the Badlands, a scarcely inhabited region filled with many dangers
yet unknown. Many settlements have come into existence in the Badlands, but their laws have little to no hold on the many outlaws
and villainy to escape civilization. The Elves inhabit this land and are very Native American in culture and religious beliefs. The
Halflings also thrive here, but are mostly miners who live underground.

GINSENG: Ginseng is a smaller continent just a few hundred miles to the east of Albion. It is filled with a people who live under
one Emperor and many Shogun; or warlords, and while they have made a vastly different civilization that that of the Albions; they do
trade with Albion on occasion.

NORVARIA: Norvaria is a near frozen wasteland to the north of Albion. Orcs originate from this desolate plane and some say
giants of frost live there as well.

HISTORY OF SARDONIA:
Sardonia is actually not that different from reality. Yes, it is a fictional, fantasy setting but most of it is actually designed off of
real history. No one really knows how the world came to be, though there are many religious texts on the subject. One thing is
known, a cataclysm shattered the world. Many millennia ago, the world was actually one large continent, held together by the
forces of magic. Then out of nowhere, the Cataclysm happened. Some say it was a giant rock from space, some say it was the gods,
and some say it was man. Either way, it shattered the face of Sardonia and changed it forever. From here, the races developed
independently of each other and thus they formed their own unique cultures and languages.
200 years ago, Albion was discovered by immigrants looking to escape the tyranny of the Empire. They founded the nation of
Albion after the first of the city-states to be erected; Albion City. After fifty years of peace, the Empire tried to take Albion, but was
driven back by several small but effective resistance groups known as the Freedom Banner. The Freedom Banner was divided into
several small Cells working in unison. Teams of 3-4 people were much more effective than a whole army. The teams were able to get
in, sabotage weapons and armor, and make it out before the battles. These Guerilla tactics made the freedom of Albion possible.
The Empire was driven back but still lingers on the horizon, the threat of attack still a constant danger.

Recent: Recent history is actually quite simple; the newly formed Albion has made several new City-States and has made
relations with the other races. The Badlands have been so far only partially explored and new dangers have yet to be discovered.
Technology has not been the same since a brilliant young inventor named Tesla (yes based on the real life Nikola Tesla) has
uncovered the secrets to combining magic with technology. Since then, the world has not been the same. It has gone from the Age
of Magic to the Age of Alchemy, the melding between science and magic. Tesla died about 100 years ago, but his legacy lives on in
the invention of new forms of technology to benefit all of creation.
About 350 years ago, the nation of Ginseng was founded by a small group from Far East. Their original homeland has faded into
legend and myth. Ginseng was founded by the Hy-Quong family and thus began their first Dynasty. Much of their history is passed
on as myths and legends but one thing remains constant in these retellings; the story of Lu-Quong. Lu-Quong was the last of the Hy-
Quong family line, but his actions remain to this day as a story of heart and spirit. Lu-Quong was only a boy when his father, the
Dynamo (or Emperor as they are called now) was murdered by his adviser. The adviser, named Li-Shu, banished the boy after taking
the throne. Lu-Quong swore revenge and went about the lands, searching for ways to get his rightful place on the throne. He trained
under many great warriors, but none as powerful and majestic as Ki-Lang, the Dragon of the Skies. Ki-Lang taught the boy the truth
of magic and in doing so; he learned how to beat the evil adviser. Lu-Quong came back almost 20 years later and challenged Li-Shu
to a duel, the winner will rule the nation. With the powers of Magic and Might, Lu-Quong beat his nemesis and claimed the throne.
However, he never found his love and died without an heir. He appointed it to one of the sons of one of the lands greatest warrior
and in doing so began the Gi-Kang Dynasty.

The City-States of Albion


ALBION CITY: Albion City was the first city-state to be made by those who escaped the empire 200 years ago. It serves as a
symbol and beacon of democracy and freedom.
GOVERNMENT: The government in Albion City is actually very simple with 5 officials who are elected every 2 years. They
convene and make ideas for the laws and rules. The people of Albion City are the ultimate deciders in any law-making. If the people
dont like it, it wont get passed.

HELION CITY: Helion City is close to Albion and considered its surrogate Twin City It has the same exact city layout and
governmental system. The only difference is that Helion City lies a bit farther towards the sky, having been rested in the Serpents
Ridge. Helion City is also one of the two primary Skyport Cities in the nation

NEW REGAL: New Regal is a small city-state with only one major activity, the buying and selling of port goods. It is rested on the
eastern coast and has a high trade with Ginseng. It may be small but it is best known for its trade, good and bad.
GOVERNMENT: The Government in New Regal is actually very simple. They deal in trade. Most of the residents are dock or
warehouse workers and so little is needed in terms of laws or rules save for one: Piracy is not at all allowed. Anyone caught engaging
in Piracy will be executed, no exceptions. This rule has kept the city clean of illegal activity for almost 50 years.

RUNES:

Now, Runes have a few rules; one is creating them yourself and another is purchasing them and having someone else do it. It
costs more to have another do it, but there are Runecrafters out there. To do it yourself, you must have the Runecrafting Talent.
Often referred to as Enchantment; Runes can only be equipped to an item that has the slot for them. Now, the level of the Rune will
not cost more slots, but weapons and armor are not the only items that can have Runes in place. Many cosmetic items can be used
with Runes to aid the players. In this section, we will get into the inner workings of Runes.

CRAFTING RUNES:
In order to craft runes yourself, you need the above Talent; but you can also have them implanted by someone who can do it.

been failed

ARCANE DEVICES:
There are a plethora of unique items out there but there are no rules for Arcane Devices. They say it can be anything but some
may need examples. Here are some rules for the most common types of Fantasy Arcane Devices and keep in mind that more can
always be made.

MAGES STAFF:

The Mages Staff is a unique item that is implanted with magic. The Mages' Staff is a common
tool used by Wizards that amplifies their spells. In the hands of a normal person, it is a simple staff made of either wood or metal
(Yew or Iron) and has no access to any of its special qualities. But for a Mystic, you take a simple Quarterstaff and add the following
rules
+2 Damage of one of the following elemental types: Fire, Ice, Lightning, Spirit, Rock, Physical, or Poison
Spirit and Poison are always penetrating
The Element is also channeled into the Arcane Blast power, dealing the same +2 Damage of that type at range
The Mages' Staff has one Rune Slot available to further its capabilities, but only with Weapon and Utility Runes

MAGES WAND:

The Wand is similar to the Staff above but with some key differences.
The Elemental rules for the staff above are the same but at a +1 damage instead of 2
Instead of one Rune Slot, the Wand comes with 10MP stored within. This allows the Mage to spend its MP before his. Once
the stored MP is gone, it takes 1 whole day to recharge and they cannot be regained with potions or stunts
The Wand also cannot be used as a weapon

MAGICAL ROD/SCEPTER:

A Magical Rod (also referred to as a Scepter) is a Rod imbued with arcane power.
While a Wand and Staff are similar, the Rod is unique and holds the following effects:
The Rod holds 2 Rune Slots for Weapon and Utility Purposes
The Rod carries with it the Master level in one of the Following Arcana; Chaos, Creation, Fate, Heroic, Hex, Illusion, Mana,
Power, Shadow, or Time. If the Mage were to gain the Arcana of the Rod, then it becomes useless. A Player has to achieve a
certain level to access the levels of the Chosen Arcana. As long as the Mage wield it, then Focuses and Spells can be used.
o Level 3: Novice o Level 5: Journeyman o Level 7: Master
If the Rod is ever removed from the casters hands, then he loses access to the Spells within.
ONLY 1 ARCANA CAN BE CHOSEN WHEN THIS ARCANE DEVICE IS GIVEN.
HOLY SYMBOL:

A Holy Symbol is the symbol of a chosen deity. It can be made of wood or metal and
has a sort of humming to it. When used by a normal person with no magical talents, it can grant one simple effect:
Divine Blessing: a simple TN 9 Willpower (Faith) Test will grant a +1 bonus to all die rolls for 1 minute
Any Mage using a Holy Symbol can access the above effect along with the following:
This Arcane Device will always lets the caster deal an additional +2 damage to any creature that is of an unholy or shadow
nature
You gain a +2 MP regeneration bonus when meditating while holding the symbol
The holder of a Holy Symbol also grants a +2 Health bonus when casting any healing spell

will be a representation of the animal spirit within and can be almost anything. The spirit and totem are chosen at creation and grant
the following:
Gain a +1 bonus to all COM (Animal Handling) Tests based on the animal represented by the totem
When holding the Totem, you gain a +2 MP regeneration when meditating
Chose an animal listed below and gain its benefit.

and they are rare but strong items of power.
Gain a +1 bonus casting rolls with an Arcane Gauntlet
The Gauntlet will come with a preset Mana pool of 5+Casters Willpower to be used instead of their own but once these
temporary points are gone, you must wait a full 24 hours before they regenerate and they do not regenerate with any sort

VEHICLES AND COMBAT:
Vehicles follow a unique set of rules. Here are the base examples to build ships in Age of Alchemy. While ground and air vehicles
are common, these are SHIP rules, made for vessels that can run on either land, sea OR air. Thats Right!!! This is about creating
Airships for Fantasy Age!!! HAVE FUN!!!

SHIP NAME/TYPE:
Pilot's DEX (Piloting) for INTV and defense (DEF is 10+Ability+Focus Bonus)
Captain's COM (Leadership) for commands and Attack
Crew size: limited by ship size and limits weapon capacity. Keep in mind it costs a minimum of 20 silver each month to keep the
crew on the captains side.

SPEED: in yards (Preferably high in number like 30+)


Size: how big the ship is: 1-Small (20-30 crew), 2-Average (31-50 crew), 3-Large (51-100 crew)
Maneuverability: Turning speed (How long in combat it takes to turn): 1: Major action (Slowest), 2: Minor action (Average), 3:
Free Action (Fastest) It takes crew to operate the sails: 20 for slower, 15 for average, 10 for faster
Cargo: Available Cargo Capacity
Structure: ships health threshold-the ship is disabled if reduced to 0, any more damage destroys it. This is based on 2 factors,
size and hull type
Hull Type: the type of hull that holds the ship together
Hull Resistance: basically AR-Ranging from dense wood (1) to thick metal (5). This is based on hull type
Land/Sea/Air capability: in what environment does it function, some may work in 2 types but having all 3 is rare and expensive
Weaponry: the types of weapons on the ship, (Type/Attack (Captains leadership)/Damage (Specialist required for any
bonuses)/Ranges/Reload/Crew (operation)) cannot have more weaponry than crew to use them. Also, you cannot fire more cannons
than your Captains Communication (Leadership) per round.
Specialists: certain people with specialties that grant bonuses to certain types of actions.
Upgrades: What kinds of upgrades does the ship have?

SHIP SIZE COSTS AND BASE STATS: these are the base statistics for most ships based on size
Size Cost Crew Speed Masts Maneuver Structure Cargo Capability Weapon Max
Size 1 300 gp 20-30 100 y 1 3 (5 Crew) 50 50 Sea 5
Size 2 500 gp 31-50 50 y 1 2 (10 Crew) 100 100 Sea 10
Size 3 900 gp 51-100 25 y 1 1 (20 Crew) 150 200 Sea 20

*Standard for Size 1 ships **Standard for Size 2 ships ***Standard for Size 3 ships
You only have to pay the difference between Hull Types if you are giving it a tougher Hull

SHIP UPGRADES: these are very common upgrades that may cost a whole lot but are rather effective when building ships
Upgrade Effect Cost
Flight Adds the Flight capability (Double base Swimming Speed) 100 gp
Steam Engine Adds +2 yards to all Speeds 100 gp
Foldable Wings Can add +10 yards to Flight speed at any point. Minor action to trigger or retract these 150 gp
wings
Wheels Adds the Running Capability (Half base Swimming Speed). Size 3 ships cannot have this 150 gp
upgrade due to size
Secret Hold TN 15 Perception (Searching) Test to find secret compartment. Also adds +5 to total 50 gp
Cargo Capacity. For 10 extra gp, add +1 to the TN up to a TN of 19 or 40 gp
Extra Cannons Reduce Cargo Capacity max to add weapon max 50 gp per unit
Extra Cargo Reduce weapon max to add Cargo Capacity max 50 gp per unit
Maneuverability Wings Increases maneuverability rank by 1 point. Size 1 ships cannot have this upgrade 100 gp
Extra Masts Grants +10 yards Swimming and Flight Speed per mast purchased. 1 maximum for size 50 gp per mast
1 ships, 2 maximum for size 2 ships and 3 maximum for size 3 ships

SPCIALIST SAMPLES: Each Specialist will cost the captain an extra 25 silver per month of employment
Specialist Effect
Weapons Specialist Adds +4 to total damage rolls
Combat Tactician Adds a +2 bonus to engagements and attacks
Navigator Adds a +2 bonus to Initiative checks
Engineer Can make a repair on the ship. TN 7+Size+Hull Resistance to gain 2d6 to the ships current Structure. This roll
cannot exceed the total Structure of the ship. Only once per encounter
Quartermaster Reduces the cost of all Ship Upgrades by 20%

AMMUNITION TYPES: typical ammunition for the types of weapons for ships.
Ammo Type Description Cost per unit Shots per unit
Round Shot Typical round ammo for most weapons 15 gp 10 shots
Chain Shot Deals normal damage but can reduce speed by -2 yards of stunt die is 6 on 20 gp 10 shots
attack roll
Heavy Shot Like normal ammo but will always add +2 to total damage 35 gp 10 shots
Bullets Bullets for Gatling Guns 25 sp 50 round magazine
Harpoon Ammo for the Harpoon 15 gp 10 shots
Bolt Ammo for the Ballista 25 gp 10 shots
Flaming Shot Deals an extra +1 damage on attack and will burn, dealing 2 points penetrating 25 gp 10 shots
damage every round for 4 rounds
Scattershot This is like the Blunderbuss. Instead of normal ranges, it creates a cone that is 20 gp 10 shots
80 yards wide by 20 yards long.

SPEED AND CAPABILITIES: Swim Speed is the base speed listed above. This is how fast in yards the ship can travel on the oceans
surface. If the Ship has the Flight Capability, then Flight Speed is equal to twice the base Swim Speed in yards. This is because there is
less resistance in the air. If the ship has the Running Capability, it is equal to HALF the base Swim speed due to rougher terrain.
CARGO: The Base Cargo Capacity is the total amount the ship can carry if we remove all of the crew and weapons. Cargo
Capacity is reduced by the number of available crew and the number of weapons (Excluding the Ram for it is on the outside of the
ship and the side turrets since they are on top of the ships deck). The remaining number is then reduced by another 5 points for
previsions for the crew and another 5 for the powder and ammo for the weapons and the remaining then is the amount of cargo the
ship can carry. Formula: Base Cargo capacity - crew size weapons (Except Ram, Side Turrets, Harpoons or Ballistae) 5 for crew
previsions x (x= total units of ammo purchased) for ammo and reserves + any upgrades = remaining cargo capacity.

CREW AND WEAPONS: you need a minimum amount of Crew to work a ship. This is calculated in the Ship Size categories
already, but if you do not have enough to operate the weapons, then you cannot use all available weaponry for the ship. You need a
minimum to work the Riggins on the main deck and some to operate the weapons. If Crew is lost, then not all weapons can be used
and if you do not have enough to maneuver the ship, you can become dead in the water. Crew is a very important factor in this rules
set, so keep that in mind as you create the ships and head off into the skies.

PLAYERS ON SHIPS:
Now normally it is assumed that the players act as crewmembers aboard a ship but it is likely that a player may wish to own a
ship of their own. In this case, we use their stats for the Captains Communication (Leadership) and if they pilot their own ship, like
many captains did, then their Dexterity (Piloting) will be used as well.

PLAYERS AS SPECIALISTS:
Now a Player may become a Specialist. The GM will determine what kind of benefit the player may offer and apply an
appropriate benefit the ship as a whole.
For example:
The Gallivant (Pirate cruiser airship)

COMBAT IN SHIPS:
Combat in ships will play out like all normal combat in Fantasy Age. The ships will determine who goes first by rolling the Pilots
Dexterity (Piloting) and adding the Navigator if they have one.

They make their attacks by using the Captains Communication (Leadership). Now remember that you can only fire a number of
cannons equal to or less than that score as well. Each cannon will do their damage in the damage pool, so if you only fire 3 light
cannons, then you roll 3d6 total. THEN any extra damage by a specialist is added. So if you have a Weapons Specialist, you roll the
examples 3d6 THEN add the +4 against the other ships Defense which is calculated as the Pilots Dexterity (Piloting) +10. Damage is
taken from the ships Structure after the Hull Resistance removes some of the damage. It acts like the AR of normal Player
Characters. Each ship will go on like this until one gets their Structure down to 0; at which point the ship is disabled and cannot fire
or move and has only a 5 Defense rating with no Hull Resistance. If the Disabled ship takes any more damage, it is destroyed.
Repairing is simple; you take it to a port and they do the repairs. An Engineer can do Quick Repairs for 2d6 Structure for a short
time but the most of it has to be done at a Port.

BOARDING ANOTHER SHIP:


Boarding another ship acts like normal combat rules. However, if any cannons are used, you double the damage on living
targets, so Heavy Cannons will deal 6d6 worth of damage to a human target. You roll initiative and act accordingly like normal. The
GM May assign certain things have to be done before the ship will surrender; such as blowing the reserves or killing the captain or
destroying the ships flag. Such activities wont grant extra experience but they do add a realism and drama.

SHIP STUNTS:
Stunts are possible on a ship and most of them are just reworked from the standard Combat Stunts in FAGE with some
modifications and some new ones.
SP Stunt Effect
1 Skirmish You knock the target off course. They now have to spend one additional action to get back on track.

3 Set Up As Combat Stunt
3+ Attack Crew You don't just deal damage to the ship but you hit some of the Crew as well. you will take out 1d6 of
the enemy crew for 3SP. you add +1 to that roll for every other SP spent after (so 1d6+3 at 6SP)
3 Break the Rigging You hit the riggings on the ship, crippling its movement capabilities. It reduces it Maximum Speed
by 10 points and it drops one Maneuverability Rank (Minimum 1). if Speed is reduced to 0, then it is
disabled
4 Seize the Initiative As Combat Stunt
4 Dual Strike You hit 2 targets instead of 1 with attack. You roll the one attack against both targets Defense rating
and you only have to roll one damage roll.
5 Lethal Blow Your aim is impeccable and you deal an extra 2d6 of damage
6 Hit the Reserves You hit the powder, dealing 2d6 Penetrating damage to the ship. If the enemy crew fails a TN 11

SHIPS IN MASS COMBAT:


While the rules for Mass Combat have not been transferred officially over from Dragon Age to Fantasy Age, the concept can
remain the same. If any ship were to come into play, they would act as either a Phase 1 or Phase 2 Specialist. If the GM wishes to use
a Fleet of ships as their Mass Combat, then the Specialists listed above can act as the Phase Specialists. Crisis Points may be that you
are boarding a ship or you are getting boarded; as an example.
