A Feather's Breath

A hack of the Breathless system by Fari RPGs. 

Adventure in a world where the veil between our realm and the realm of the fey is thin and magic leaks through, making some ordinary people just a touch magical.

This game is based on Breathless, a system that assigns a different die to each ability. These dice step down as you use them - it's easy to reset the dice again, but it comes at a cost. This results in a game with constant forward pressure. 

The original Breathless is a Zombie Apocalypse thriller/horror system. I have softened some of the mechanics in A Feather's Breath to make an adventure in the Fey Realm mysterious and threatening without being hopeless or too deadly. This document also includes a full magic system, a table of 100 magic items, and a sample story to play through with NPCs included.
