Chapter 1 – Basics
d20 Warheart rules were written to give me and my players the ability to play a grim d20 system RPG game in a low magic, low
fantasy world. To use them, you should be experienced in any other d20 system game.
This system is NOT suitable for magic-sword-waving-fireball-throwing-dragon-slaying wanna-be heroes. There are no such heroes
here. All are already dead.
If you like d20 Warheart or you want to comment it, send me an email corvus69@gmail.com .
GM should read through the d20 Warheart rulebook and become familiar with changes and additions to existing core rules. This
rulebook is not foolproof. GM should be able to adapt existing d20 rules to d20 Warheart rules. Here is a quick summarization of the
most drastic changes:
New Rules Summary

Races
Races have modified abilities. None of them are supernatural. More in Chapter 2 – Races.
Alignment
There are no alignment rules at all.
Paths and Careers

Instead of classes and prestige classes, characters in d20 Warheart choose their life path and later a career. Most of paths and
careers don’t have supernatural abilities. More in Chapter 3 – Paths and Careers .
Skills
Class skills are renamed to favored skills. Some skills are modified and there is couple of new skills in Chapter 4 – Skills.
Feats
Many feats are not used anymore. Some feats are modified and there is couple of new feats in Chapter 5 – Feats.
Fate Points
Fate points can be used to save a PC’s very life and can be considered last resort points. Fate points are described in Chapter 6 -
Campaign.
Insanity
These rules simulate traumatic experience. Characters can gain various minor or major disorders. Insanity is fully explained in
Chapter 6 – Campaign.
Equipment
In Chapter 7 – Equipment there are new armor and weapon tables and also some new items. Armor can be made of pieces that cover
only part of body.
Combat
Combat rules are expanded. Fighting is more deadly and characters have more tactical options. Characters have fewer hit points and
armor serves as damage reduction. Multiple attacks are removed, characters gain bonus to damage and critical threat range instead.
Attacks of opportunity are removed. Critical hits work different, adding damage dice, rather than multiplying damage but can be
more deadly and can strike specific part of body. Characters can target specific parts of their opponents’ bodies and disable limbs.
Defense roll is used instead of Armor Class. Characters that are reduced to 0 hit points suffer debilitating deadly hit. More in Chapter
8 - Combat.
Magic
The spellcasting system is completely remade. Caster doesn’t need to memorize spells anymore. Instead he uses his Spellcraft skill to
cast spells „on the fly“. Both clerics and wizards use the same spell system and the same primary ability (Int). Spellcasting is
fatiguing and each cast spell gives caster fatigue points. Magic is a pretty dangerous business and often bad things can happen. See
Chapter 9 – Magic and Chapter 10 - Spells.
4
Chapter 2 – Races
Races found in this chapter replace those from PHB. All abilities have a cap of 18, modified by bonuses and penalties from race
description. This cap means that character can have higher ability scores only by using magic.
Example: dwarves can have maximum Wisdom 20, maximum Dexterity 16 and maximum Strength 18.

Paths may have requirements a PC must meet in order to take that path. Careers replace prestige classes. They represent
archetypes of more advanced professions. Careers always have requirements a PC must meet, in order to take that career.

New Item Descriptions
Blunderbuss: A primitive shotgun, this weapon has a wide, bell-shaped barrel and is designed to hold and fire shot that scatters
when discharged. The blunderbuss affects all targets in a 10 ft.-wide line beginning at the front of the barrel. The blunderbuss was
designed for use in close quarters against tight packed opponents.
Flintlock Musket: Flintlock musket is faster to reload and fire, and somewhat smaller and lighter.
Flintlock Pistol: A flintlock is faster to reload and fire, and somewhat smaller and lighter. Firing loaded pistol in melee doesn’t
impose -4 penalty to Defense. Those who rely on these guns for their lives or their livelihoods often keep several of them loaded and
ready in a bandolier, so they can fire one, toss it aside, and draw the next, without having to spend time reloading. A character with
multiple loaded pistols may fire one per round, provided they quickly discard the one previously fired. Firing loaded pistol in melee
doesn’t impose -4 penalty to Defense.
Matchlock Musket: A shoulder-fired matchlock weapon.
