Time of High Adventure
Three full-size adventures bring the excitement of Fantasy Craft to your gaming table: protect the crossroads of Fels Cut from a new undead menace in The Darkest Hour; put to rest ancient horrors in The Cleansing of Black Spur; and face the ultimate dungeon challenge in The Vault. Sliding DCs and adversaries scale to challenge any level, allowing you to run all three adventures for new or veteran parties of any composition. Also included: "The Realm," a mini-setting for drag-and-drop play; and print-ready handouts, maps, and stat sheets (to get you up and running with NPCs in minutes).

Call to Arms: Bloodsworn
Death can lurk anywhere: around the next dungeon corner, in the shadows of a dark alley, or even in the cellars and gardens of noble homes. The Bloodsworn is blessed with preternatural awareness and uncanny toughness, and stands at eternal vigil to defend the weak and helpless. With a select few he shares a supernatural bond, a union that binds them in body and soul.
Depending on the campaign, a Bloodsworn could be...
• A mystical guardian, obliged by ancestral oath to guard the lives of his masters
• A devoted father who will go to any length to protect his child
• A blood-brother of mages who's absorbed some of their arcane power
• A sacred warrior sent by the gods to protect the innocent from the scourge of evil
• A royal guardian whose duty is fueled by sublime zeal
• A grizzled sellsword whose love of gold drives him to ever greater (and perhaps reckless) action
Plus, a new Basic Combat feat chain, drawing tricky enemies into private fights and away from your allies!
This .zip file includes both a full-color screen version with art, and a printer-friendly version.
Call to Arms: Force of Nature
The power of nature is unquestioned: wild beasts stalk the dark woods, druids bend primal forces with devastating effect, and the forces of the world can even take physical form as elementals charged with restoring the Great Balance. The Force of Nature is a product of the most basic forces of life itself, a champion whose intimate connection with the physical world can be channeled to unleash primeval powers with devastating effect.
Depending on the campaign, a Force of Nature could be...
• A son of titans just beginning to discover the true power of his birthright
• A tribal champion elected by druids to avenge the wilds
• A cursed warrior fighting to contain an ancient hex on his bloodline
• An avatar destined to bring balance to the primal forces of the world
• A mystical swordsman harnessing an element as part of an unearthly fighting style
• A rampaging berserker whose rage embodies the pain of his land
Plus, a new Spellcasting feat chain, upgrading harnessing faith as a weapon of the gods!

Call to Arms: Mist Dancer
From superstitious gossips to the stoutest city guardsmen, rumors spread of rogues emerging from the night fog blanketing the streets - invisible, untouchable wraiths prowling rooftops and alleys in search of treasure and glory. The truth, as it happens, is nearly as audacious - through an uncanny combination of illusion, stealth, and deception, the Mist Dancer excels at the larcenous arts. No shackle can hold him, no door can stop him, and no riches are beyond his reach. His methods are as elusive as they are effective, and for this he commands the highest rates in the land - rates his clients are all too happy to pay.
Depending on the campaign, the Mist Dancer could be...
• A street urchin, trained by a sorcerous rogue in the arts of spell-slinging and stealth
• A cutthroat assassin whose limitless guile exiles, or perhaps liberates him to the night
• A thieves' guild master exploiting stolen magic to evade traps and captivity
• A mysterious scholar documenting the passage of history under cover of darkness
• A devious sorcerer with a penchant of mischief that drives him to larceny... and the law to their wits' end
Plus, a new Spellcasting feat chain letting you steal your opponents' magic!
