By grasping a few easy rules, you will quickly be ready to play any kind of character IA can offer – and it can offer quite a few.
Unlike most TTRPGs, your INFINITE ADVENT™ characters are limitlessly customizable, which rewards player creativity and inventiveness and encourages roleplaying.
Just as simple atoms and molecules combine to form complex chemicals and creatures, a simple easy-to-learn framework can create fascinating and complex characters for memorable emergent gameplay.
Character building in INFINITE ADVENT™ rewards player creativity.
Easily build familiar archetypes from epic fantasy or mix and match attacks, spells, and perks in limitless combination.
With 7 Paths, 45 Disciplines, 17 Moonsigns, and over 900 Abilities and Perks,you will never run out of character builds whether you're starting a new character or advancing a veteran.
INFINITE ADVENT™ encourages unique builds because the architecture is seamless between character types. There aren’t separate, different rules for different character types (martial vs magic) or classes (“fighter” vs “rogue.”)
INFINITE ADVENT™ doesn’t have traditional character levels; you can develop your character in any order you choose.
The greatest advantage belongs to players who enjoy creative character development, whether you’re trying to optimize statistics, or creating the unique character that you imagine.
It's your legend.
Victory in IA can sometimes come at a cost, usually time spent pursuing one goal at the expense of another.
While the players confront the boss, his henchman might be moving the treasure, or, while the party is counting their treasure, the boss has made his escape.
The death of your character is not the end of your story. It’s not even the end of your place rolling dice at the table. In a fantasy world full of magical powers, spirits, otherworldly creatures, and influences, the Player Characters of INFINITE ADVENT™ are no exception.
When a PC perishes in IA, they continue playing as a ghost.
Explore a vast uncharted region known collectively as the Infinite Edge™, far beyond the reaches of any real civilization, a dangerous place where food and water are scarce.
Villages, towns, tribes, and clans struggle for survival. Each community can prove a deadly competitor for the others. Even in a world with literal magic, healing can be hard to come by. Especially for communities who lack such powerful adventurers as yourself!
The default campaign setting of INFINITE ADVENT™ is one of new lands, endless frontiers, savage wildernesses, and encroachments on all sides from outside invaders. When rumors of discovery reach distant continents, powerful forces rush to capitalize on untapped resources.
How will your decisions shape the landscape of this fantasy world?
You may achieve notoriety by assassinating villains, making new discoveries, or even founding a new city, the first foothold of civilization in these wild lands. Achieve infamy by leaving unintentional power vacuums or absconding with the treasure. Recover powerful artifacts for which local tribes have been vying for years, leaving their bitter disappointment in your wake.
Like footprints in a muddy road, your choices will intersect and overlap with the choices of your friends to create a legacy for your character.
How will you be remembered?
.
Each Player creates and manages a character in the game world, playing the role of this character throughout your adventures. Each character under the player’s control is known as a Player Character (PC).
"Game Masters" have their own agenda, but the Guide's job is to make your character shine.
At character creation, you will choose which Traits will define your character.
Choose the fantasy race to which your character belongs, or even create hybrids with characteristics from two different races.
Moonsigns are a unique feature of INFINITE ADVENT.
The larger moon, Lunathor, and the smaller moon, Sorkadin, exert supernatural influence over the world as they dance in the sky.
Many adventurers bear magical tattoos of a specific phase and position between the two moons with a distinct influence over their lives and those around them. Bearing a Moonsign grants a powerful effect to your character, but can change how you are viewed and treated by others.
Moonsigns in INFINITE ADVENT(TM) include:
The alignment and phase of Lunathor and Sorkadin can amplify or diminish the effects of individual Moonsigns and can have a distinct impact on any character, adventure or campaign.
Once your character is created, choose your abilities from one or more of the 7 Paths:
Each Path contains multiple Disciplines for customizing your character.
Not all mages cast the same spells; not all fighters wield the same weapons.
Each discipline has its own unique feel and flavor. Slashing Weapons are versatile, but Piercing Weapons are faster. Fire magic deals sustained damage whereas Lightning magic excels at burst, but maybe you prefer Mind Control. Shapeshifting is a different beast altogether.
INFINITE ADVENT™ is not merely a collection of sourcebooks and written rules. IA was developed inside a mathematical engine which drives the game. This engine:
Just as simple atoms and and molecules combine to form complex elements and chemicals, the INFINITE ADVENT™ engine uses a few simple rules to generate a vast array of character possibilities.
The simplicity of the rules allows minimal time investment for busy players.
