As adapted for Valiant from Art of the Neat TPK. And if you haven’t gone and seen some of the wacky things he comes up with, you should!
Description: Ridgebacks are massive lizards covered in long spines. They easily reach 20 feet in length, about half of that being tail. With large, leaf-shaped serrated teeth, these creatures are well respected by those that encounter them.
Ecology: Carnivorous, Ridgebacks are found largely in equatorial wetlands wherethere is enough food to support them. Agile climbers, ridgebacks can scale the larger trees in these habitats but stay near the ground in colder weather and burrow. Rarely, ridgebacks have been tamed as mounts but few have the skill to care for them properly.
Tactics: If annoyed, the ridgeback will Read More »

Two new skills available to my players are Acumen: Awareness and Magic: Sense Magic. The first is being made available because due to an apparently huge oversight in writing up the d6 Fantasy system, there is no general awareness or listen check skill. So, I add it, problem fixed.
The second is needed because the magic system I’m using has no “Detect Magic” spell and probably never will have. However, borrowing from many fiction examples, the ability to sense magic inherently for someone who has Paranormal Magic as an attribute is not farfetched. The difficulty number for the skill will be based on my idea of the size and power of the magic in question. The player needs to be focusing on a specific item to use it.
Existing characters can pick up the skills at the cost of skills at creation.

All the languages in and near Kyanfir developed from the old empire of Mano-Ade where the main language was Iuze. Influenced by distance and various nomadic tribes, each country eventually developed its own form and dialect. The Church of the Thirteen Gods uses classical Iuze in both written and spoken liturgy, providing a common language for translation and trade.
Most in Kyanfir speak a dialect known as Hezrei, influenced by the pirate nomads that raid the middle of the country each winter and the coastal cities each summer who speak a gutteral tongue called Dzek. Those near Nuray may be fluent in Ibuil and Jannasberre has a considerable number of Ihreun speakers from Kai-Alti. Only scholars speak Ierae, the most common language of the elven barbarians, and Enel of the nomadic Reptile Folk.

Elemental, suspicious and wondrously avaricious creatures, dragons are the most feared predator of Valiant by anyone and anything. Great serpentine and winged individuals, hatched from eggs, breathing fire and poison and ice, dragons are rarely seen and often avoided by even the bravest hunters.
There are several known species identified by body type, number of legs and skin covering. The two most common are a large, bulky winged dragon covered in scales with four legs and a long, sinuous feathered type with smaller wings and either vestigial or no legs. Dragon eyes are usually red or yellow and slitted like a cat’s regardless of species. Almost all species have a row of dorsal spines or keeled scales. They can be any color and live in any terrain.
There has been speculation that Dragons are intelligent but Read More »
