Ascendant Destiny

Ascendant Destiny is the brain-child of one person, and seventeen years of writing and testing with countless play-testers, brought to life visually with the help of twelve artists. It was a long journey where the author, who was tired of the limitations of others role playing game (RPG) systems, decided to create a system in his spare time for a world of his own creation. A system where the rules weren’t too specific for the setting it was created for; the author wanted this system to be resilient and flexible enough to apply to any fantasy setting that people could dream up of. The author also intended to create a balanced system, that was somewhat realistic without being overly so, and that was exciting for players and GM alike.

So Ascendant Destiny was born; an exciting highly flexible tabletop RPG system that focuses on players being able to build and develop any high fantasy character they want. Whether that character is an honourable holy warrior, a spell-flinging sorcerer or a fast-talking goblin trader, Ascendant Destiny has the tools to create and grow this character the way you want.

With 17 years of play-testing Ascendant Destiny was originally inspired as an amalgamation of any fantasy d20 system and most d10 systems, Ascendant Destiny has a high fantasy feel with fantasy races such as elves, dwarves and goblins, medieval combat and powerful magic. Despite this though Ascendant Destiny comes with no fixed setting and is designed to be used as a system for any fantasy RPG setting that you can dream of.

Similar to most d20 systems Ascendant Destiny has 6 primary attributes and uses polyhedral dice to determine the outcome of skill checks and combat rolls. Unlike d20 systems, Ascendant Destiny is skill-based rather than class-based, where characters can choose from 8 trained skills and 8 natural skills called abilities. Essentially players can play whatever they want by buying skills, feats, attributes and spells using experience!

Do you want an RPG system that is very well balanced even when used for epic level campaigns? Ascendant Destiny is a classless RPG system that focues on game balance from beginning character all the way up to epic level demi-gods. Ascendant Destiny does this whist maintaining an elegant and fast core system for gameplay that doesn't get overly caught up in complex games mechanics.

Do you want and RPG system where you don't have to "level-up" to be excited about your character's progression? Ascendant Destiny is a skill-based RPG system with a strong fantasy feel where character progression constantly feels meaningful. Ascendant Destiny has a flexible approach for developing different skills, and includes distinct types of magic, fighting styles, and ways to influence and support others. Characters can then continue to develop these skills into significant and memorable powers in the late game as they ascend.

Do you want and RPG system were you can not only customize the rules regarding an individual character's talents, but also the rules of the game itself? With Ascendant Destiny you can create an infinite combination of unique skill-based characters with the optional extra of customizing their feats, skills and spells. Ascendant Destiny even has guidelines on how you can modify the rules of the game to suit your world, campaign or play-style.
