What Makes Guild Chronicles Different?

Designed to allow for flexible, creative, outside the box play

• Character creation is non-linear and allows even starting characters to be unique, specialized and engaging.
• Interacting with the world using checks allows you to flexibly combine Attributes and Skills to better capture the task you are trying to accomplish.
• When you make an attack in Guild Chronicles, you combine a power (from the Classes you’ve selected) with a weapon’s Strike. Changing weapons allows you to quickly change your playstyle and flexibly slide into other roles.

Limits frustrating results from bad luck in a few ways

• Most rolls will use two or more dice, creating more average results and far fewer unlucky “botches.”
• There is no “roll to hit” in Guild Chronicles – no more turns spent doing nothing because of bad luck!
• For an attack to critically hit, only one of the dice needs to result in the maximum result; you might even get more than one critical hit in a turn!

Designed to reward collaboration

• Powers that grant allies bonuses get more “bang for your buck” than ones that only affect your own character. 
• Many powers allow unique strategies and powerful combinations when used on teammates.
• Thoughtful planning of diverse individual builds can allow groups to function far more optimally.
