d12 RPG Basic Edition
 |
(Full edition also available as a pdf here on drivethruRPG or under "d12 rpg system" on Amazon)
The basic edition of the d12 RPG is fully playable. While it does not contain all the options¸ lore and rules of the full release¸ you can start adventuring in this antique¸ yet tolkienesque world as
- a fighter
- a ranger
- a knight
- a thief
- a bard
- a sorcerer
- a druid
- a priest
- and several two-class concepts which are greater than the sum of their parts.
Human¸ elf¸ half-elf¸ halfling and dwarf are available as player races; dark elves and orcs can also be played if the GM allows.
The d12 RPG puts particular weight on fine-tuning your character with your desired abilities. This is especially evident in multiclass characters when leveling up.
The combat system is a departure from the regular "roll to hit". Defense rolls exist (although they can be substituted by a defense class) and defense itself is split into both defense and armor¸ necessitating different approaches in combat for enemies that are hard to hit or hard to damage.
Enjoy playing!
IMPORTANT: This version has not been fine-tuned towards a full release. There may be references to skills¸ classes and other things that are not available in the basic version. This release contains spells of max. level 5¸ and is missing a lot of classes like the sellsword¸ the assassin¸ the eldritch¸ and clerics of different deities. Both expansions including the lore chapter are also not included in this release.
