Grim-O-Ire Available Now for Your Table!

Grim-O-Ire introduces four unique Arcane Backgrounds complete with Special Abilities and supplemented by Edges.

• Ghost Walker - A hero with the ability to separate his spirit from his body and travel in ethereal form.
• Pneumamancer - A caster harnessing spirit energy able to communicate with ghosts.
• Venator - A dedicated monster hunter with near super human abilities.
• Witch Hunter - A specialist in finding and neutralizing people and monsters with arcane abilities.

The supplement includes four new Hindrances aimed at casters, as well as, suggestions on how to build heroes using these Arcane Backgrounds and eight sample characters (two for each Background) in the Appendix.

The ABs in Grim-O-Ire are each very different but they all have one thing in common. Ordinary people find these arcane users unnerving or distasteful; some might fear or despise them. Even if such an attitude is contained to a few individuals in a community, they are the perfect scapegoats to blame when something terrible happens. Keeping a distance and respectful behavior may turn into a torches and pitchforks attitude as an angry mob sets on a crusade to eliminate the perceived source of darkness.

This does not mean these arcanists are evil. On the contrary, they usually perform services for the community, tasks which would be dangerous or even impossible for the common folk. But even as they defend their fellow people from supernatural threats, they use too foreign and misunderstood abilities, creating fear among the protected. And it takes just a spark for the fear to turn into anger, and the anger into hatred…
