Today’s the day — Free League‘s new edition of their Ruins of Symbaroum, this one adapted to 5E rules, is officially out.
If you’ve played Symbaroum before, then you should have an idea of what to expect here…a 5E adaption of the endless hunt through the forests of Davokar. Will your party find treasure, fame or valuable knowledge? Or will they just get devoured by something? The 5E version will include three full-color hardback books – the Player’s Guide, the Game Master’s Guide, and the Bestiary, each depicted with lavish illustrations of Davorkar’s beauty and danger. The package also includes a Gamemaster’s screen bundled with a 26-page adventure booklet.
New Rules: To emphasize the dark fantasy nature of the setting, new rules for traveling and rests, social challenges, magic, and corruption are introduced.
New Origins: Aside from familiar folks such as humans, elves, and dwarves, the Symbaroum game world lets you create PCs and NPCs who are changelings, ogres, goblins, trolls and even a specific form of undead.
New Classes: The Ruins of Symbaroum Player’s Guide presents the classes Captain, Hunter, Mystic, Scoundrel and Warrior – each with between four and seven approaches/sub-classes, and all of them with customized features up to lvl20.
Ruins of Symbaroum 5E is available starting today at hobby shops everywhere, as well as the Free League webshop.
