Steamforged Games has lifted the curtain on how its Dark Souls tabletop RPG rules differ from the Dungeons and Dragons system it's based on. Changes include completely diff♎erent magic mechanics, new boss behaviors when they hit half health, and an HP overhaul that sees players sacrificing points to use special abilities.

Revealed as part of a on Steamforged's official website, these additions to the Dark Souls tabletop RPG have apparently "cut [fifth-edition D&D] to ribbons before reanimating it by the bonfire". This means it should have a unique flavor despite sharing some DNA with core 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dungeons and Dragons books. 

One difference is that the Dark Souls TRPG scrapꦬs D&D magic in its entirety. As the blog notes, it was: "definitely not suitable for a Dark Souls game". It's been replaced with a new attunement slot system with limited uses and an almost-parasitic element where some leech off your character's health.

Speaking of which, the game also does away with traditional Health and introduces 'Position💫' instead. Even though it still tracks your adventurer's wellbeing, it can also be used up to "tweak a dice roll, or to use special abilities gained ⛦from your character class or equipment".

That push and pull appears to be a key part of the TRPG's makeup; as an example, there are no Death Saves. What's more, being reduced♔ to 0 Position will send you back to the bonfire without your collected souls and with a "significant risk you’ll lose part of yourself". As the blog notes, the ൩"gradual erosion of humanity" is a major theme for the Dark Souls tabletop RPG. More specifically, players will "begin your campaign with a character concept. Each time you die, you risk parts of yourself being whittled away, leaving you a husk. A mindless hollow".

Seeing as the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:initial announcement caused some negativity on social media about Steamforged utilising the D&a🍸mp;D system (a number of commenters replying to the💞 felt this wasn't a good fit for Dark Souls), all of the above feels like a way of reassuring fanbase concerns.

Beyond these little nuggets of info, we know very little else about Dark Souls: The Roleplaying Game. However, with pre-orders going live this February 8 (to be followed by a vague 'Spring 2022' release), we shouldn't have to wait long before finding out more - and seeing whether it's worthy of a place on our list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best tabletop RPGs.
