One chassis, four fantasies
Same die. Different courage.
Every champion rolls the same d20 and grows the same way: loot, levels, and the boons you choose as the Hearth's fire rises in you. What changes is the shape of a turn, how each one guards, builds, and spends. Each champion also keeps benched techniques you can swap into the kit from the hero sheet between fights, and more unlock as you prove the class. Master one, then prove all four.
- Techniques · swap them in on the hero sheet
- Level up · choose a boon every level
- Aspects · Legendary gear rewrites your kit
- The Forge · hone the weapon you love
Keep exploring
Know where they march.
Who rises first?
The Hearth is lit and the road is open. Take up the march.
