The pleasant mountain valley of Fels Cut is about to learn a valuable lesson - nothing stays buried forever.

A crossroads in the Realm, Fels Cut is no stranger to adventure, though it's rarely seen any of its own. Visitors pass through from far and wide, bringing tales of the fantastic and bizarre, yet all is quiet here. Until now. This night, the valley falls to nightmare and by dawn, all will know its name.

The Darkest Hour is a full-length Fantasy Craft adventure for a party of any composition. Sliding DCs and adversaries scale to challenge any level, allowing you to run the adventure for new or veteran characters.

Includes two maps, four handouts, and three all-new adversaries.

The Call to Arms series brings exciting new classes and other character options to your Fantasy Craft table. This installment presents the Gallant, who trades dank dungeon halls for resplendent castle corridors, and pragmatic survival skills for keen insight into the machinations of high society. Wealthy, handsome, and brave, he fights for honor, land, and title with a vast arsenal of weapons financial, social, and martial. His tools are a keen blade and an equally sharp mind, which he uses to strike down foes and lead less refined teammates to everlasting glory.

Depending on the campaign, a Gallant could be...

• A samurai warrior, as well versed in courtly intrigue as lethal swordplay
• An obsessed swordsman dedicated to slaying his father’s killer
• A cynical chieftain on a mission of political and physical conquest
• An arrogant noble lashing enemies with a sharp tongue and sharper blade
• A sworn bodyguard navigating his ward through the dangerous world of “polite” society
• A righteous gentleman masquerading as a fop by day and a masked vigilante by night

Plus, a new Melee Combat feat chain, detailing the Sword-Circle dueling discipline!

This .zip file includes both a full-color screen version with art, and a printer-friendly version.

• Call to Arms Bundle 1 Roundup (Flames Rising)

The Call to Arms series brings exciting new classes and other character options to your Fantasy Craft table. This installment presents the Infernalist, a witch or warlock who barters with evil forces for knowledge, love, and conquest. Driven by dark desires to risk his greatest possession — his immortal soul — the Infernalist seeks nothing short of ultimate arcane power.

Depending on your campaign, an Infernalist could be…

• A megalomaniacal wizard whose lust for power knows no moral (or mortal) bounds
• A sorcerer rescued from certain death at the price of eternal damnation
• An adept seduced by vile forces beyond his understanding
• A blood-mage tapping the power of death to fuel vile magic
• A witch consorting with the Devil to wreak terrible revenge on her enemies
• A tragic figure accepting a Pyrrhic bargain to save his true love

Plus, new Spellcasting feats that let you convert your fallen enemies’ blood into spell points, align and manipulate aligned spells, and revel in the dark supremacy of the Shadow School.

Take Heed! The Infernalist is not for timid players, nor the faint of heart. By taking levels in this class you’re bargaining with malevolent forces of incredible power and risking your character’s long-term safety and security. Demonic blessings always come with a price — in this case permanent penalties representing your character’s gradual slide into oblivion. Along the way, however, he gains access to powers well beyond any other arcane spellcaster, including the Mage.

The Call to Arms series brings exciting new classes and other character options to your Fantasy Craft table. This installment presents the Monster Slayer, a brave (and perhaps foolhardy) adventurer taking up arms against terrifying creatures subjugating the weak and defenseless.

Depending on your campaign, a Monster Slayer could be...

• A blessed knight defending his realm against ancient draconic enemies
• A crazed vigilante, hungry for revenge after a titanic beast destroys his village
• A grizzled poacher stalking the most dangerous game of all (no, the other most dangerous game of all)
• An eager young brave hoping to claim a demon’s hide so he can return home a man
• An enterprising weaponsmith collecting “exotic materials” for his wares — the hard way
• A boastful champion writing his legend in the blood of slain prey
• A gentleman hunter coping with the boredom of high society by launching exotic safaris

Plus, new Melee Combat feats capitalizing on the courage and daring of true heroes.
