Chapter I :

Character Creation

The first thing to choose when creating a character is the race. All races have advantages and disadvantages. See 'Races' formore information.

Each player character starts with 90 points that are to be shared in Hp, [Attributes] and [Skills](and Backgrounds forhumans). The Hit points, or Hp, have a base of 10. Not more than 20 points may be used to gain Hp.

[Attributes]The maximum point to be distributed in attributes is 28. The starting maximum for each individual attribute is 8(Except for

Shumi).

One character point gives one attribute point.-Strength(Added to physical damage)

-Vitality(Physical damage is reduced by this stat number)-Magic(Added to magical damage)-Spirit(Magical damage and/or effectiveness is reduced by this stat number)

-Speed(Added to the initiative, also count as the character's quickness)

-Luck(The chance to do critical strikes, and for situations that involve luck in some way)

[Skills]Though the skills' maximum is 255%, a character may not start with a skill higher than 80%. One character point gives 5%in a skill. See 'Skills' section for more information.

You may also take advantages and disadvantages to personalize your character.

[Starting Equipment]All characters start with 2d100+ Luck*10 Gils.

You may now choose or design your Limit Break and choose your starting weapon within the Equipment list.

THE Evolution

When a shumi gets level 100, he morphs into a moombas. He can learn ALL moombas abilities, but may not stock spells

anymore.

______ __Moombas

The moombas are considered by humans to be ridiculous mutations of an unknown animal. But the moombas, who share alot with the Shumi Tribe, are very intelligent creature, though sometimes it's hard to believe. Most of them don't speak, but

several know some words teach mainly by humans. The moombas are commonly used as cheap workers, or even sometimeslaves. They are of very affective nature for those who treat them well. The moombas may not draw or cast spells, but have

many similar abilities. These abilities are learned by earning AP from monsters, and work like the Guardian Force learning.

Limit Break

___Designing Limits___________A limit break is a special skill characters can use in dire situation. The Limit becomes active when the character has lessthan 1/3 of his total Hp. The two types of Limits are Physical Attacks and Magical Effects. At creation, the character has 14

points to distribute in different aspects of the limit. He'll get one additional point each five level.

-Physical Attacks : For each point, the attack causes one die of damage(or cure one die). The weapon used determines thekind of dice. A point may also give 10% chance of doing a abnormal status(Or 5% for really powerful spells like death or

stop). Each point may also give 10% chances to hit. Imagine any kind of effect, the limit is the most personalised part of thecharacter.

-Magical Effects : May cast spells or similar effects. Keep a balance.

The Game master always has the last word.

___Limit Examples____________It surely leaves more room for imagination, but you're not obliged to create your own limits. You may choose within thesefew.

Blue Magic(Magical Effect)The blue magic is a very strange art indeed. By fighting many enemies, you may learn to use their own weapons. When youfight a new enemy and get its belongings, you can sometimes learn their abilities.

Mighty Guard

Creature encountered : BehemothItem gained : Barrier


12/50

Effect : Cast Shell and Protect on you and every ally less than 3 meters away.

Ultra WavesCreature encountered : Caterchipillar

Item gained : Spider WebEffect : Create huge high frequency sounds, reducing all enemies in a 5 meters area to silence(40%), and doing them 3d6 of

damage.

ElectrocuteCreature encountered : Blitz or Creeps

Item gained : Coral FragmentEffect : The target and all creatures within 3 meters lose 4d6 + Magic due to lightning damage.

Drinking Wind

Creature encountered : Abyss WormItem gained : Windmill

Effect : The caster take a deep breath then throw the piercing breeze on one enemy for 2d10 + Magic (Wind damage). Thecaster gains the entire HP lost by the victim.

Elemental Blow(Physical Attacks)

You may now use the magical energy with your weapons. When attacking, you conjure a spell to strengthen your blow. Inorder to make a certain attack, you must have the according spell, and the spell is lost afterward.

-Hit : Use the character's hit stat

-Damage : 2d* + Strength + any elemental spell(within the 8 elements)The weapon damage also becomes elemental damage of the chosen type.

Hyne's Energy(Magical Effect)Cast any spell you have with double range, damage, %...(choose one)

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages and disadvantages really make up an unique character. You may only take them during character creation, and

they remain forever or, for extremely rare cases, may be lost during the course of a campaign.All advantages and disadvantages are rated, and in order to take two points in advantages you must have two points in

disadvantages.This is only a list to give you some ideas. The game master may design any serious advantage and disadvantage he

imagines.

________Advantages

-Resource(4): You have a remuneration(a job or otherwise) of 600 Gils per month, and an additional 200 for each other pts.

spent. May not be taken with Esthar and Balamb, Trabia or Galbadia Garden backgrounds. You cannot take this with Poor.

-Wealth(2): It may be family heirloom or simply earned funds. Your starting money is 6d100+(luck*10). You cannot have

the least amount of money within the party. If so, reroll until it is no more the case. You cannot take this with the Poordisadvantage.

-Contacts(4): You have a good contact within an organisation(either be the Esthar Academy, the Trabia Garden or anythingelse). Spend(2) more pts. to have an additional contact within the same organisation, or (3) to have a contact into another

organisation too.

13/50

spirit to feel that she is magically unusual, and that she is a "sorceress". You cannot detect if she has good or evil

behaviours. To the GM: the sorceress also knows she was discovered...

-Good Reputation(4): You have a really good reputation among the members of a chosen area or society. This give you aneasier access to superior grades. It just takes a little less to "grade up" within an organisation. To the GM discretion.

-Weapons Master(4): You may chose two primary weapon. In other terms, both cost you the normal price. If you take a

third weapon, however, the skill will cost you the double.

________Disadvantages

-Weakness(4): You have a native and unexplainable weakness against a chosen element. When taking damage from the

according elemental hit or spell, your vitality or spirit does not reduce it.

-Physical Weakness(4): It takes 2 pts. to raise your strength and vitality attributes of 1. This exclude the character creationprocess.

process.

-Unlucky(4): It takes 3 pts. to raise your luck of 1 pts.. This exclude the character creation process. Situations that you are"out of luck" could also happen.

-Poor(2): Your starting money is 5d10+(luck*10) instead of 2d100+(luck*10). You cannot have more starting money than

any of the others players. If this is the case, reroll until you have less. You cannot take this disadvantage with wealth orresource.

-Spells Instability(4): Each day, you have 40%(reduce with luck) chances that any of your spells is empty(the number you

have reduced to 0) when you wake up.

-Draws Inapt(*): Your % of chance to draw is always reduced by 10% for each pts. you want to gain this way.

-Social Black Sheep(2): You are rejected by almost everyone, and oddly enough, when you show up into a store, themerchants often raises his prices...just for you ;)

-Hunted(*): There's a price on your head. You said something, or did something at the wrong time, in the wrong place. Ask

the game master for the rating. If it will play an important part of the game and will cause trouble to the player, gives like3pts. But, if a "hunter" just shows up once or twice during the game, give 1- 2pts.

-Claustrophobia(2): You are extremely claustrophobic and uncomfortable indoors or underground. You receive -20%

penalty on all rolls in such conditions.

Chapter II :

The World

History

_________The Mankind EraA history heard by all, forcefully swallowed by some, and revered by others. Few still remembering it entirely. The Centra

civilisation, also known as Centra Empire, saw daylight 4000 years ago, or so will we count. They lived in peace forhundreds and hundreds of years. They built a single but huge city on the southern continent, but did not seemed to explore a

lot. On each generation, a very small number of young girls were given fragments of Hyne's own power. These rare personswere called sorceress. They helped the Centra society, for they had inherited strange powers. During the years, Centra tried

to understand this energy, in result they created impressive magical technology and found the existence of the mysticsGuardian Forces.

_________The First Lunar CryFollowing the archives, it started around 3900, more than a hundred year ago. There was some unexplainable violence, andpeople became selfish. The first Lunar Cry known to human occurred. Thousands of evil creatures from the Moon kept

falling, forming a bloody bridge to Earth. Animals and pacific creatures of the Earth were killed, or somehow turned into

horrible monsters. Centra's people spread around the world, escaping in mobile shelters, and living their once-wonderfulcity behind them. The monsters completely ruined the Centra Empire, and only pieces of burnt land remain today. Theescaped citizens divided into two groups, the Western and the Eastern. The Moon monster breeded, and invaded to rest of

the world. Since they mostly spread on the eastern land, and also because of the temperate climate, Esthar soon becamereally advanced in technology. The other side became the world like we know it, Galbadia being the first permanent city

created. They had left quickly, and with no methods of communication, the western land never knew what happened to theothers who went elsewhere. The two societies divided, and Esthar stayed closed and secret. Even now, nobody really knows

if Esthar exist or not. There are rumors and legends, not more.

_________The TroublesTimber and Balamb were created respectively in 3971 and 3973. Dollet followed a year after, principally to install a

communication facility. Galbadia had spread a lot. In 3982 (40 years ago) the galbadian army took control of Timber. Ayear after, a strange phenomenon occured, the Radio Interference. Almost all radio communication facilities were shut

down because of the noise across all frequencies. Short transmissions are still possible, but most country now communicatesthrough the use of HD cables running underground. The only radio communication facility still 'almost' operationnal is the

Dollet Communication Tower. The first Garden was created in 3988. With the financial help of an unknown shumi and themoral help of his wife the sorceress Edea, Cid Kramer created the Balamb Garden from an ancient Centra shelter.

Galbadia(also on a Centra shelter) and Trabia Garden respectively followed. The Gardens were supposed to be neutralorganizations 12 years after, the Timber Owls, leaded by the well-known Rinoa Heartily and the famous Balamb SeeDs,

declared the Timber independence. Some say it started the Galbadian moves. The longly forgotten Sorceress Edea(said tohave been possessed by Ultimecia, a sorceress from futur), gained control of Galbadia, and ultimatly the Galbadia Garden.

Fortunatly, the bold SeeDs, led by the legendary Squall Leonheart, stopped her machiavelics schemes. Galbadian missilesdestroyed the Trabia Garden during the fights, and a similar (but missed) attempt was made against Balamb Garden, who

used the shelter's technology to escape the attack.While constant battle were raging, a second Lunar Cry fell upon Earth, bringin back to life an ancient imprisonned

Sorceress, Adel. But Esthar was prepared. Though Esthar was in a way discovered, they still keep their secret and their

doors closed, and most people are still unaware of their presence. The world now live an era of peace, each day helps incontrolling the breeding monsters from the moon. But the Great Hyne, creator of mankind, did not settle this world forpeace.

TTIIMMBBEERRMMAANNIIAACCSSJune Special issue

As for our June special edition, we decided to make a compilation of the greatest articles of Laguna Lore. We must

tell again that since some articles are old, there may some mistakes, especially the fact that Timber is now independant!So now, let's enjoy a trip around the world with our reporter Laguna!

Hi Everyone! I'm Laguna Lore, I've been soldier in Galbadia Army for several years, it was the only way to travelI've found. But now I'm here to report you my travels! I'll go everywhere, and if ladyluck is with me I'll maybe reach Esthar!

Deling CityMy home! This center of the Galbadian territory could surely be Esthar's rival ! The Centra's romano-gothic era's

buildings, the rich manses and the great gateway are really worth the trip. You could walk down the huge streets duringhours, under the nice constant dawn created bu the surrounding mountains.

Within the shopping arcade is the city's hotel. Although very expensive, I suggest you to visit the warm bar underneath. Ithas been for long the place where soldier go between jobs. The President Deling, leader of Galbadia, live in the

presidential residence near the center of the town. The General Caraway, chief of the Galbadian Army also resides here, inan awesome manse at the west of the city.

WinhillA peaceful small village, with old houses, lots of flowers and vegetations of all kind. The citizens live quietly,

according to the old traditions, and are unaware of the trouble from the rest of the world. I should come back here and

spend my old years...

TimberHere is the Timber Maniacs editing house. Timber is a nice area, but its people aren't very sociable for someone

like me who had been in the galbadian army. Since the city was invaded in 3982 by Galbadia, soldiers roam everywherehere. It is still a really nice place to visit, their bar has a very attractive moond and is worth a look. Exept for the little hard

time I had with the complex train system (it's not called City of Trains for nothing), I fully enjoyed each day of my stay.(We wish to remember the readers that Timber is now free and independant!...)

Shumi Village

While I was looking for Esthar(I was looking for a way from north), I heard for the first time about the ShumiTribe. Their village is located at the north, within mountains and forests. I had some problem around the area, but

fortunatly for me, the good Shumi Tribe found me down a cliff, and cured my wounds. I will never thank them enough. TheShumi live in small houses made of rocks and roots they are very strange indeed. They give much importance to fraternity

and friendship, but don't underestimate them, they are really wise!

DolletAfter my problems in Esthar quest and my meeting with the Shumi Tribe, I somwhow ended up in Dollet. The town

is quite big, and is much impressive since every building has at least two floors. The old but awesome and comfortabledesing and architecture, gathered with the wonderful sights the bridges offer is really an interesting trip. Dollet is also one

of the last places where you may find 'almost' effective air communications devices and facility.

BalamdAfter my unsuccessful search for Esthar and my stay at Dollet, I decided to visit the uncontested fish capital :

Balamb. This small town is unique in its kind, much different of Timber or Deling City. Buildings are made of sky-blue

domes, everything in town is round, keeping the mood peaceful and quiet. Navigation is their principal economic andtouristic activity; the Balamb port is always busy. I stayed a while in the Balamb Hotel and saw nice sights that even greatcities cannot offer. Unfortunatly, I shortly ran out of money, and could not even taste the reputed Balamb fish.

Fishermen Horizon

A village made of pieces of screwed ships, somehow floating in the middle of the sea. It is really a great work, andI guess it's why the fishermen here are reputed as much for their mecanical skills than for their fishing talents. They're

independants, and they are fully for violence abolition. They're well organised, hate surprise and special events. I don'tthink any stranger receive a warm greeting here, but once you know them, they're kind people.

Chapter III :

Esthar

Esthar is a mysterious city hidden on the eastern continent. It was created after Centra's destruction, and since it was well

hidden from the moon monsters, they got time to build it VERY huge, with advanced technology and defenses. Over theyears, they put much of their efforts on the spatial travels and on the understandement of the sorceresses' powers.

The Esthar armors and weapons are derived from an ancient technology from Centra, in some way similar to the one usedby Galbadia Garden.

Armors

The Esthar Armors allow their soldiers to use (draw/stock/cast) magic, and to junction status defense.

Academy's code of

conduct.

Esthar Blades

Chapter IV :

The Garden

Gardens are private military academies, which houses young students, of ages 6-19 and of either gender, to train them intocompetent soldiers. The Garden are places where students can live and train, housing superb facilities such as training

centres, lecture theaters, cafeterias, student accomodation and other student needs that you would expect any college tohave; There's even a library where students can study arts such as magic and fighting. The ultimate aim of a Garden Student

is to join various armies over the world, but for special students with pure natural talent, an agency called SeeD was set up.Each Garden has its own teachings, but all are neutral, often mercenaries.

Galbadia Garden

Unlike the other Gardens, the Galbadia Garden deplores the use of Guardian Force, and therefore replaces them by heavytechnology. Their armor and weapons allow them to use (draw/stock/cast) magic, each different giving them different level

of power.At character creation, the Galbadia soldier get 50 more Gils, and have 15% more in their principal weapon skill(with a starting maximum of 95%).

Weapons

Galbadian soldier mostly use swords and gloves, but shotguns, machineguns and other less casual weapons sometime figure

in their equipments. The second level weapons(Maverick, Ulysses) are considered Soldier's and may junction magic toElemental Attack; the other(Gauntlet, Exeter) is Elite and may junction magic to Elemental Attack and Status Attack. In

order to junction magic, the weapon user must have armor to stock spells

Galbadian Warmachines

At first used for missions in impossible condition or danger for a human, the warmachines quickly became an interesting

solution. The steel soldiers aren't ambitious, disobediant, lazy, yet they are very wise and powerful.Most of them are unique, since they're supposed to be created for specific missions, and have special abilities according to

the work for which they were designed. But one of these missions is fighting, and for it were designed and created byhundreds the warmachines. The warmachines are quite common, and presented in two principal types:

_________________SAM08G

This living weapon is used for raw fight. It carries two 155mm cannons on its shoulders, and has a 60mm vulcan in itsmouth. Though not very bright, it's a though and powerful model.

_________________ GIM52A

This model is used in hard territories like deserts or mountains, because of its wits and limited capacity of flying. Use anadvanced laser technology and homing missiles.

Balamb Garden

The first garden created. Cid Kramer built it 34 years ago on a Centra shelter, with the financial help of the Shumi Norg.Cid has been the Headmaster for 12 years, followed by Squall Leonheart, who's still in place. During the Era of Troubles,

Squall and Cid used the shelter's technology to make the Garden fly, dodging lethal missiles. The Garden still moves, butusually stays around Balamb.

Balamb Garden use Guardian Forces, powerful magical creatures taking place in the student's mind.

Trabia Garden

Trabia was the last Garden created, 2 years after Balamb. It was build on the northen continent. Trabia Garden put muchmore efforts in knowledge than in fighting skills. Many exchanges were made with Balamb Garden, so that some student

could learn the way of fighting. Several Trabia students join SeeDs each year.The Garden was destroyed 22 years ago during The Troubles by galbadian missiles, but was rebuilt 7 years after in the same

area.Those who have been to Balamb Garden to finish their training have learned the use of Guarden Force.

Chapter V :

System

_________Combat BasicsA round of combat is about 10-30 sec long. When engaging a combat, each character (including monsters and other NPCs)

must roll initiative. You roll 1d10 and add your speed. The one who have the highest score act first, and so on. Some special

manoeuvers may increase or decrease an initiative, their use must be declared before the roll. The initiative is rolled eachround. If two characters roll the same initiative, they attack at the same time(and thus taking damage at the same time too).Once the initiative done, your character acts. Your chances to hit are your weapon skills rating minus the enemys evade

rating. As for any skill roll, you throw 1d100 and must get lower than your total chance to hit to be successful. You cannothave less than 10% chances to hit a target.

Determining critical hits:When you roll an attack, you have a number of chances equal to your luck rating divided by twoto do a critical hit. If you have 60% in a weapon skill and have 9 in luck, you must roll from 56 to 60% to make a critical

hit. When a critical hit occurs, you double the damage.When you hit, you add your strength for your damage if you use any mele weapon. The damage is decreased by the enemy's

vitality, but is never reduced to less than 1.Exemple:

Wedge has 70% to hit, Strength 6, Speed 7 and Luck 6. He's fighting a caterchipillar(Speed 3, Vitality 5 and Evasion 0). Onthe initiative roll, Wedge gets a 4, and the caterchipillar gets a 6. Wedge wins the initiative (4+7 > 6+3). Wedge attack. He

get 68 on his roll, thus making a critical hit. He roll his damage (Blade : 1d8) and get 5. The total damage is (5+6)*2. The

catherchipillar, having a vitality of 5, take 17 damage.

_________Abnormal Status

Some spells and creatures may give abnormal status. Here is a description of each.-Bersek: The affected character fall into an uncontrollable rage. Tough he doesn't attack allies, the GM choose wich target

he hits. Damage is doubled before all modifications. He may breaks things up and run around.-Sleep:A magical sleep. If the character loses any Hp (Physical Damage only), he wakes up.

-Confuse: Character is under the GM control. If the character loses any Hp (Physical Damage only), he is no moreconfused.

-Silence:The victim cannot talk, nor use spells, Draw, or use GFs.-Poison: The magical poison does [1d6 +Magic of the caster -Victim Vitality] (Minimum 1) per round. Other poisons may

have other effects.-Darkness: The character vision is shrouded by a small magical dark cloud that stands over his eyes. Skills that require to

see are reduced by 20%, unless a skill or ability prevent it(like nightvision).-Curse: Disable limit break. The character stats and skill% are also recuced by half.

-Zombie:Take damage from recovery spells and double damage received from holy element, and is healed by poisons. Itact much like a disease, and if it persist more than a day, the character slowly become numb and unable to act and think

properly until cured. After a week, the character loses 1 vitality point per additional day he is zombified. If he ever reaches0, he becomes a zombie, permanently.

-Break:The character flesh is turned into stone.-KO: The character is KO, but not dead. He can be "revived" with a Pheonix Down. A character dies when he loses any

amount of HP while being KO(see the glossary).

_________SurpriseWhen surprised, a character may not use evasion skill. A surprise hit give the attacker an automatic critical hit. There are

many ways of making surprise attacks, the most commun is usually to move silently to the back of the target. The victim

may have to make an awareness roll to avoid surprise, his chances are usually reduce with the attacker stealth.

_________Magic

Except for some spells, which are specified and have a % chance of working, all spells are automatically effectives.

_________DrawTo draw a spell, you must first make a Spell Lore roll. A success mean that you are able to chose the spell you will draw.

When you fail, the GM chose it on purpose or randomly, but you still get spells. You must then make a draw roll (BaseDraw% + GF Bonus - Spell Level*10) to determine if you are able to draw or not. On success, roll 1d4+1 to see the number

of spell you get. Draw may also be performed during a fight, as a normal action, but must be at less than 4 meters of the


20/50

source. You may also choose to draw-cast. In that case, you get -2 to initiative roll, but you immediatly cast the spell you

just are drawing. The maximum Draw% after all adjustments is 95%.

Other ItemsBy defeating monsters, enemies and troughout adventures and exploration, the character will end up with a whole bunch ofstrange object (Screw, Sharp Spike...). These items may be used to remold weapons (and armors for galbadian), but may

also be sold. Though not everyone is looking for a Star Fragment or a Steel Pipe, the Game master may put a price on theseitems. Some of them make people and GFs learn abilities, other may give or stock spells. The most commun are the MagicStones and the M-Stone Pieces. They contain energy that can be mutated into spells with the use of a GF ability (or big

technology). The M-Stone Pieces give level 1 spells, the Magic Stones give level 2, and the Wizard Stones grant the morepowerful spells. There are 5 spells per stone. Some other items may give abilities to GFs. They all also have their logicalsuses, even tough somes are quite hard to describe (and also somewhat very hard to imagine what the fuck they could be).We're gonna try to fix that later.

Chapter VIII :

Guardian Forces

Guardian Forces, or GFs, are strange and powerful creatures of unknown origin. Though some live on Earth, many livesomewhere else, further than any human will ever go. Some people have learned to use them, or to tame them. The GFs

give some characters power, and may be summoned in battle or dire occasions.

There are three types of Guardian Forces, listed as Internal, External and Catalyst. Each is different when the GF issummoned. Internal come into the battle to make their attack, external make their attack from far away, and catalyst use the

summoner's body to make their move. When a summoned catalyst GF is attacking, the character is completly unaware ofhis surroundings while his body morph into the GF.

The GFs level up with XP, which them gain even if they are not summoned (but they must be junctionned/equipped).

Guardian Forces Evolution Table :

Level Experience Needed1 0

6+ Lvl*100+previous

ElementMany GFs have element. When it's the case, the GF's damage is considered to be an elemental attack of the chosen element.

Summoning Speed

The time needed by the character to summon a GF. During the given number of rounds, the character may not do anyaction, but is aware of his surroundings. During the GF summoning time, if the character is attacked, the GF lose HP instead

of the character, and the damage he takes is reduced by the summoner's vitality.

NOTE: All GFs have the following already learned abilities : Magic and Draw. The ability [GF] isn't used in the ff8rpg,since when you have a GF it means you can use him. [Item] isn't used either, 'cause it just wouldn't make any sense at all.

Chapter IX :

ENEMIES

Here are listed monsters, useful npc templates and other types of enemies. We strongly encourage the gamemasters tomodify them to fit in their campaigns and with the player characters. If you want some challenge, monsters should be 2-5

lvls higher than the players.

IntelligenceThe creatures' intelligence are represented by numbers. You must refer to this table:

0 = Extremely stupid.1 = Average animal intelligence.

2 = Bright animal. May elaborate small plans and tactics.3 = Average human intelligence.

4 = Superior intelligence.5 = Genius intelligence.

Weaknesses and resistances

Most creatures have at least a weakness, and some have resistances. A creature weak against an element will not reduce itsvitality(or spirit) to the damage when hit by the element. If they are very weak, the creature take double damage.

A creature that resist to an element only takes half damage, and a creature immune to something takes, of course, no

damage.

Experience

Each creature give experience, which count XP and AP. Humans and mere shumi do not gain AP. The APs cannot bedivided into multiple abilities.

Monsters

The monsters are a recent phenomena, for they had not been seen before 150 years ago. Some of these creatures are mutatedanimals, yet most are result of the breeding of the monsters coming from the moon. They still have one thing in common:
