The Sabre RPG Fantasy Premium Edition (1e)
by Michael D. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 10/20/2018 03:22:22

A excellent Fantasy Rpg based firmly in Runequest d100 family of games with its own unique features .

The magic system is superb with ten separate schools of magic which cover most types of magic you would expect from fantasy game. The maneuver system is interesting , maneuvers are a sort of feat/stunt system that can be activated by spending Spirit points the games equivalent of Power or Magic points from other d100 games and there is also a Talent system. This all leads to specialized lower level characters within the standard classless d100 standard. Having your standard fantasy Rpg party of Cleric, Wizard, thief and a couple of fighters is easily done in this game.

The combat system is a lot simpler that most d100 games with no hit locations and a very simple serious wound system. Some of the weapon do strange amounts of damage with the long bow in particular being under valued. Agincourt would not have been a victory for the English if their longbows only did 1d8+1 damage while the French crossbows doing d6+6.

This being a d100 game you can easily borrow the bits of this game you like to add to other games. I use my own house ruled version of Openquest and I can see myself borrowing the magic system and possible the maneuvers as well for my campaign

In summary this game does the standard “D&D” type fantasy better than any other d100 game including the Classic Fantasy for Mythras and I would recommend looking at the freebie version of this game and if you like it getting the modestly priced full version, A print on demand version would nice

A quick note about the bow damage: Effectiveness with bows in this system is tied directly to extensive training and practice, so while crossbow damage is fixed (they're easy to use), longbow damage increases with skill, talents and physical strength, so 1d12+4 is quite doable. Plus you get to shoot multiple times per round, while crossbows take a round or two to reload :)

At 352 pages, 350 are the content.

Sabre RPG is a D100 system party based on Runequest 6th Edition. Not only is it a class-less system; but also has a level-less approach to advancement.

There are over 50 combat and non-combat manoeuvres. Also 10 fields of magic.

I purchased this pdf and other Sabre PDFs about July last year (2016). There have been MANY regular updates since then (about 21 approximately for the various PDFs).

The website: www.sabrerpg.com or http://stephenlnowland.com.au/sabre/ is well worth visiting. There are 13 species/races (these include standard, exotic and hybrid/half races/species).

Attributes are: Strength, Agility, Constitution, Intelligence, willpower, Charisma.

Artwork: steadily appearing, and looking good. Plenty of blue text hyperlinks throughout for easy navigation.

At £2.40/$3.00 it's most definitely worth a look.
