Castles and Crusades: Double Edge System

A modified FATE aspect system originally put together for Castles & Crusades but could easily be ported to a retro-clone.

Choose 3 Aspects at character creation:
  • Skill (gem cutting, rock climbing)
  • Profession (blacksmith, apothecary)
  • Personal trait (nimble, greedy)

Edge Points:
  • 5 Edge (FATE) points
  • Refresh when CK/GM says so
  • 1 FATE point gained when a character aspect is invoked by the CK/GM

Spend Edge Points to:
  • Re-roll 1d20
  • Invoke character and scene aspects for +2 each
  • Boost any +2 modifier to +1d4
  • Boost any +3 modifier to +1d6
  • Boost any +4 modifier to +1d8
  • Boost any +5 modifier to +1d10
