The hero is the avatar of the player in the game universe. Each player (except the game master) must build a character before starting the game.
In savage flower kingdom, there are 8 base classes. They are the most represented in the world. Each class is described by its name, its HP and MP scores (if no MP score is indicated, then the class can do no magic), the number of
CP it can spend, its starting skills, and its reserved skills.
As always, this list is not exhaustive. If you want to play someone else, create a new class with the Game Master.

Skills are things the hero can do. He gets some upon creation, representing what he learned before his adventuring days, and learns more as he goes. The following lists are not exhaustive, and if the GM is okay with that, you can create new skills as you go.
Some of the skills below (most of them, really) have a * before their name. This indicate a skill that can be mastered. This means that you can buy it a second time to improve its effects. You note this by writing (2) after the skill’s name on
your character sheet.

Magic is a splendid tool, and a powerful weapon. Only a few people are capable of unchaining its true potential, its terrible power. There are two kind of magic: the one from the spheres, called Spells; and the one from the gods, called Prayers.
The first kind is the domain of the Wizards and sorcerers, even if Bards and Hourries can use it to a lesser extent. Its study is difficult and exclusive, so the practitioners are usually poorly skilled in any other field. Spells are quick and powerful, the wrath of the spheres being brought down to earth.
The second Kind is reserved for the divine servants, Paladins, witch doctors
and Priests, above all else. It gives far less immediate power than spells, but leaves more time for the caster to train his other skills.
Spells are divided in categories. There are many of them, but we will concentrate on the major groups for now. Those are: Life, Death, Magic, Spirit, and the four elemental groups, Fire, Thunder, Ice, and Void. This doesn’t impact the choice of spells of a wizard, but is used to work out some skills and Monster skills, like magic masteries or immunities.

(including the caster) must roll Physical
(TN 10) or fall to the ground and stay there for 3 rounds.

This chapter covers new skills, reserved for the Priest and Wizard. Other casting class don’t have access to them, for they don’t give their entire life to the magical side of their training, and thus cannot pretend to such a level of mastery.
Skills reserved for the Wizard *Specialist: When choosing this skill, the wizard must choose a spell category
(This is noted as “Specialist (fire 1)”). He has +1 to cast spells from this category, and if he gets a critical when casting a spell from this category, he doesn’t pay any MP. This skill can be chosen multiple times with as many categories, and each version can be mastered.
*Battle mage: all attack spells of the wizard deal 1 more damage. Meditation: The mage can forfeit his turn to have +2 to his casting roll next turn.
He cannot do that if he is under attack. Spell mastery: The mage can augment the TN of his spells by +2 to make them
last twice as long, or deal double damage. Bold caster: The mage can lower the TN of his spell by –2 by paying 2MP instead
of 1.
Skills reserved for the priest *Ardent Faith +1 to prayers casting rolls. Peacemaker: The priest gets +1 to all his Heart and Hand prayers, but cannot
learn nor cast any Arm prayers (if he already know some, he must forfeit them). This is not compatible with Avenger nor Inquisitor.
Avenger: The priest gets +1 to all his Arm and Eye prayers, but cannot learn nor cast any Heart prayers (if he already know some, he must forfeit them). This is not compatible with Inquisitor nor Peacemaker.
Inquisitor: The priest gets +1 to all his Word and Eye prayers, but cannot learn nor cast any Hand prayers (if he already know some, he must forfeit them). This is not compatible with Peacemaker nor avenger.
Miracle: The priest can forfeit his turn to cast a prayer on the next even if he has no MP left (If the prayer has a variant cost, it is considered as a 1MP prayer).
*Battle servant: The priest has +1 to all prayer casting rolls done in combat.
Rituals As we all know, spells and prayers are short version of long ceremonies and
rituals. That’s the reason they sometime fail. If a Wizard or Priest wants to be really sure to achieve a magic result, he can always come back to the long, fastidious complete version.
To perform a ritual, the hero needs a quiet room and a bunch of components (that will get destroyed). He then performs the appropriate chants and rune writing, and after that, the spell automatically works to full effect. The ritual form of a spell or prayer takes [TN x ¼ of an hour], so one hour and 45 minutes for a mere TN7 spell, and up to three hours and a half for a powerful TN15.
Being a crowd accelerate things; for each participant on top of the caster, the ritual time is reduced by ¼ of an hour. The assistants don’t need to be Wizards / Priests, but if they are not, they must roll mental (TN7) or don’t give any benefit at all. For this purpose, paladins and witch-doctors are priests, and bards and hourries are wizards.

His rule can apply to all and every spells and prayers, even if it has no sense to do it for an attack spell.
Here are new Items, usually associated with magic. They are easy enough to
find in all big cities of the world, but the prices can vary wildly.
Pr Type Description
10 Holy symbol A priest holding a Holy symbol can reroll one of the dice of all his prayer casting rolls.
10 Magic focus A wizard holding a Magic Focus can reroll one of the dice of all
his spell casting rolls.
10 Components Everything you need to do a ritual: candles, chalk, incense and even a rat or frog, to sacrifice.
A Holy symbol is usually the emblem of the God the priest worships. In the case of a syncretist priest, a sun or moon of gold or stone will do the trick.
A Magic focus can be pretty much anything, from a little staff with feathers and chains hanging, to a ring with a beautiful stone, or a skull with paintings on the forehead.
Components are sold as a package. You need one pack per ritual.
The equipment is an important part of the life of an adventurer. A well prepared group can be the difference between victory and a thousand years of
darkness and a well-stocked shop can be the source of this ultimate victory. The present folio gives an idea of what can be found in general on the shelves of the shops and the stalls of every market in the known world.
In the following pages, you’ll find lists and description of common items, goods and services with their prices indicated. As you can imagine, some things are
more frequent in a part of the world or another, so you, as a Game Master, shouldn’t be afraid to change prices or availability as you see fit.
You’ll eventually come to the time a hero wants to buy something that is not on the lists. Use them to imagine, use common sense and all will be fine.
There are many currencies in the world, each nation as its own, but the world being a smaller place than it used to be, some kind of normalisation happened. May you use “Petals” from the Peninsula or “Crowns” from the Baronies, they are all worth more or less one Gold; so the prices are all given in Gold for
simplification purpose. There are two major exceptions to this rule. The Underworld, where Orcs use a
two-level currency system: They got “Teeth” (worth 1G) and “Claws” (worth half-a-G). Those are not really coins, but chunks of precious metal, named after their weight; And the Labyrinth, where people use a variety of coins and bills in various denominations, the closest equivalent being the “sovereign”, which is roughly worth seven eighth of 1G.
On the following page, you will find a table that describes 37 weapons. The columns are Pr (the price you pay when you buy the weapon), Hands (number of
hands needed to use the weapon), Ran (the range of the weapon; 0 is melee, everything else is ranged), Dam (the dice to roll to deal damage in combat), Skill (the skill that works with such weapon) and critical (the effect of a critical hit).
It is impossible to cover each and every cool weapon that ever existed, also,
use common sense. A tulwaar, for example, would be a sabre; this table, without being exhaustive, presents enough examples for you to improvise.

A roll of 12 is always a hit and generate a bonus result. The profile of each weapon describes the effect of a critical hit when using this particular weapon. If two possibilities are indicated, you can choose. Damage x2: roll for damage as usual, but double the result before applying it to
your opponent’s HP.
Stun: You deal your damage as usual, and the opponent is stunned.
Hold: you can catch your opponent and hold him, which gives your allies the opportunity to strike him easily. They still roll combat, but, if they don’t get a
Pag
e23
fumble, they hit (if they get a fumble, they hit you!). You cannot attack again as long as you maintain the hold. The target can roll Physical against (TN is your DEF) to set himself free.
Bleed: this weapon does slashing damage, and your opponent loses one HP on top of your normal damage now, and one more HP on each subsequent round.
Disarm: Your opponent loses his weapon (if applicable; a tiger cannot lose his claws…)
Strangle: You deal your damage as usual and you strangle your opponent (use the suffocate rule). You cannot attack again as long as you maintain the
strangling. The target can roll Physical against (TN is your DEF) to set himself free.
Brawl Weapons: Those weapons are
the hero’s fist, really. They use the Brawl skill (instead of Favored Weapon).
Swords: The most frequent weapons in the realms. There are many type of swords, and some of them have special rules. - Great sword: This massive piece of
metal is really heavy. The damages are important, but you lose one rank in initiative when using it
- Rapier: This sword is very special in this it has no edge, and only delivers piercing hits. It is very
light and give one rank in initiative.
- Sabres: the sabre and Great sabre
are swords with only one edge, and their blade is slightly curved. They slash more than cut, and are quicker than your standard sword. They add one rank in initiative.
Axes: Favored by dwarves, those weapons are the second choice of most fighters in the realms. Some axes have special rules. - Great axe: This thing is heavy,
and as such you lose one rank in initiative when using it.
- Double edged axe: this axe has two heads, back to back on both
side of its handle. It gives you
the opportunity to attack immediately if your opponent misses his own attack. This is on top of your normal attack.
Maces: Favoured by priests for its less lethal and bloodsheding nature, the mace is nevertheless a terrible weapon when handled right. Some maces have special rules. - Club: This is a piece of wood, no
more, no less. You can find one in the woods for free, but if you want a good one, correctly shaped and more sturdy, you can buy it for the indicated price
(it is more a bat than a club then).
- Flail: It is a mace with a chain
between the handle and the head. More difficult to use than a regular mace, it deals a lot more damage. The question is: to whom? When using a flail, you have a –1 malus to your combat roll to hit; if you ever get a fumble while using this, you hit yourself!
Hammers: in the category “I love to fight with tools”, i give you the hammer. Dwarves love hammers almost as much as they love axes. But nobody else does.
- Maul: a fancy name for a very big-Ass two-handed hammer. It is pretty heavy and you lose one rank in initiative when using it.
Staves: Staffs is but a piece of wood,
roughly the size of a man. It is said monks in the west master it to a very remarkable level. All staves have a range of 0-1 (except the spear, see below), representing the advantage of the length of the weapon; they are still melee weapon
though. - Nailed staff: A staff with big nails
in it, to augment the impact. When using this weapon, you get a Critical on 12 and 11.
- Spear: A staff with a blade (single or double edged) fixed at one hand. The spear can be used in melee (in which case its range is 0-1), but can also be thrown (in which case its range is 2-3). If you throw it, you lose it, but can recover it at the end of the fight.
- Bladed staff: It’s a spear, with a blade on each end. It is difficult to use but the damage are important. When using this weapon, you get a Critical on 12 and 11. If you ever get a fumble while using this, you hit
yourself! - Pole arm: A spear with a complex
head and a longer pole. The damage are impressive, but it is a very cumbersome weapon. When using it you lose 1 rank in initiative, and if fighting at range 0, you get –1 damage and –1 to your combat roll.
Bows: Bows are the only reliable and effective ranged weapons in the
realms. - Short bow: this small bow does
little damage but can be fired at range 0 (melee). You need an arrow to fire.
- Long bow: Bigger, better damage and longer range, but to big to
be used at close quarters. If you are attacked in melee while wielding this weapon, you fight with your fists and DEF is at –2. You need an arrow to fire.
- Crossbow: technologically far more advanced, the crossbow
does more damage but is slower: when you fired on a round, you must spend one action to reload the thing (It fires one time out of two rounds). You need a bolt to
fire.
Whips: Originally meant to goad horses and donkeys, whips can be used as weapons by well-trained fighters. The range for all whips is 0-1 to represent the reach of the weapon; they are melee weapons though. - Whip: Kind of a rope really, except
it is smaller as it goes. It is difficult to handle, so you have –1 to your combat roll when using this.
- Barbed whip: the same, but with chunks of metal stuck in the weaving. It is difficult to handle, so you have –1 to your combat roll when using this.
- Sword whip: strange hybrid between a sword and a whip,
this thing is really best kept in a drawer. The damage is terrible for it slashes and cause bleeding as soon as it hits (see Critical hit effects), but you have –2 to your combat roll, and if you ever fumble, you hit yourself.
Throwing weapons: This category regroups all things that are supposed to be thrown. When you throw them, you lose them until the
end of the fight when you can recover them. - Dagger: this thin knife is the base
throwing weapon. It can also be used as a melee weapon (a lousy one but still). When you land a critical, if you do the maximum
Pag
e25
damage (so 8, 4x2), you got your target in the eye and it dies (of course, it take more than a gouged eye to kill say, a dragon, but that will work on all humanoid sized creatures).
- Boomerang: this curiously shaped piece of wood comes back when you throw it! When you use this weapon, you have –1 to your combat roll; you throw it one
round, it comes back in your hand on the next, and you can
attack again on the third. If you are attacked in melee while wielding this weapon, you fight with your fists and DEF is at –2.
- Ninja stars: small metal pieces shaped like snowflakes or stars, those can be thrown really fast. You can attack twice when you use this. If you are attacked in melee while wielding this weapon, you fight with your fists
and DEF is at –2.
The following table describes protections; the columns are Pr (the price you pay when you buy it) and Description (the effect of the protection).
Pr Type Description 3 Shield Reduce damage by 1 8 Spiked shield Reduce damage by 1, opponent that miss takes 1 damage. 3 Leather armour DEF +1 5 Scale armour DEF +2 8 Mail armour DEF +3, -1 initiative 10 Plate armour DEF +4, -2 Initiative 12 Spiked armour DEF +2, -1 initiative, opponent that miss takes 1 damage.
The word armour is here used as a contraction of “suit of armour”; it includes the cuirass, the helmet, the greaves and the gauntlets. It is sold as a whole.
Shields: shields use one hand, so you can’t use a shield if you wield a
double handed weapon. Spikes Shield: reduce damage by
one. If your adversary misses his attack, he hurts himself on the spikes and loses 1HP.
Armours: Armours are the main protection for a warrior. They augment the DEF score of the wearer by the amount indicated.
- Mail armour: A suit of chainmail is pretty heavy and while it gives
good protection, it slows its wearer by one initiative rank.
- Plate armour: a hundred pounds of metal on your back. It’s so cumbersome you lose 2 initiative rank while wearing it.
- Spiked armour: A scale armour with spikes everywhere on its surface. If an opponent misses its attack, he hurts himself on the spikes and loses 1HP.

Inn: you can rent a room for one night, or for one week. As for many things, the more the merrier and the lesser the price. The indicated prices include two meals a day.
Guide: a guide will help the heroes
find their way in the wild, or in a big city. As travels are long, you cannot rent him for less than a week.
Girl: Well, I’m sure you get my drift… Bank: Sometimes a hero needs to leave
thing behind, and sometimes, he needs those back. Renting a safe in a bank authorises the heroes to stock their unwanted things and,
as bankers are all part of the same guild, you can ask for your things
to be brought to you (it takes time, of course).
Repairs: Blacksmiths can repair broken pieces of armor and even weapons sometimes. When you bring a broken item to the
blacksmith, roll d6: on 1or 2, the item is beyond repairs.
Mercenary: Cities are full of retired soldiers, repentant ruffians, and other blades for sale that would be happy to find work. Whether you need a bodyguard, an enforcer, or want to raise an army, this is the place to start.
Doctor: The regeneration rules being
what they are, it seems pointless to signify the doctor’s prices. But who knows?
*Favoured Weapon: the warrior can choose a weapon type. When he fights with it, he deals 1 more damage and gets +1 on his Combat roll. You can choose this skill several times with as many different weapon, and master each one. Reserved to warriors.
*Brawl: you deal 1 extra damage and have +1 to your combat roll when you fight with your fists (+2 when mastered).
Martial artist: your Fists (and any Brawl weapon) gain the critical effect “damage x2”. Reserved to warriors.
Wrestling: your Fists (and any Brawl weapon) gain the critical effect “Hold”. Blacksmith: The hero may roll physical (TN9) to repair a broken weapon or piece
of armor. If he fails, the try added to the damage and the item is lost.
