Our first Core Rulebook used the OGL 1.0a as the foundation and allowed the game to be 5e compatible. However, since the rulebook's publishing there had been changes to the OGL both proposed and later repealed. To avoid any future changes to the OGL, we have removed the OGL content and rewrote the rulebook to be our own independent system that uses a Creative Commons License that allows anyone to use our game.
Some of the major changes to the rules include:
Removed Ability Scores and replaced them with a Talent system
Removed Class Archetypes and replaced them with a Class Skill Tree
No level cap
Changed how Character Creation works
Simplified Spellcasting
Expanded on Psionic Powers
Redesigned creature stats
Changed the rules on Death, Dying and Healing
Updated Conditions
Rebalanced Cybernetics and Mutations
Added Weapon Quality and new Critical Hit rules
Includes a new Character Sheet
What the rulebook still includes:
13 Playable races with unique Nationalities and Species
15 Classes to choose from
Enchanted Tattoo creation
Rune Crafting system
Detailed explanation of the DarkEnergy setting, including its worlds, deities, factions and history.
A unique Faith & Philosophies system that brings meaning to your beliefs and grants powerful bonuses.
Playable curses of WereDisease and Vampirism
Suit-up in your power armor and wield your enchanted chain saber as you navigate the apocalypse of Earth and discover new worlds. Within the pages of this book, you will find all the rules you will need to play or run a game of DarkEnergy.
