Fires Far Away
Introduction
Fires Far Away is a fan made game designed for running tabletop games in the style and content
of the Dark Souls computer games, or a rough approximation.
The full rules will be explained later in the book, but Id like to start with explaining the ideas the
game is based around.
By and large, you will see the same terminology in this book as you would see in the games
themselves. This is with the intention of making it as easy as possible to take content from the
games and convert it to this system.
Mimicking the player-skill based gameplay of a video game is impossible in pen and paper, but in
the spirit of that game design Fires Far Away eschews dice rolls as a resolution mechanics
whenever possible. No roll to hit, no roll for damage, no roll to succeed. Flat success with some
conditional logic is the norm. In this manner, success depends mostly on what equipment you
have and the choices you make rather than the fickle whims of random rolls.
This applies to more than combat. Out of combat, you can expect a prevailing theme of ‘lock and
key’ problem solving. Like a lock, you need to find the right key to solve it. There can be multiple
‘keys’ for a given problem, be they actual physical keys or abilities or information. This replaces
using skills with random success rates solving problems for you.
Unlike the player’s character in the video games, in Fires Far Away you are not expected to fight
alone. You are individually weaker than you might be in the video game, necessitating you work
as a group to survive. And survive you must. As undead suffering from the curse, you can die and
still come back from it. But every time you do you lose a little more of your humanity and your
mind. Die too often, and you can expect the curse to take you and render you truly Hollow:
mindless and dangerous and unplayable.
And last but not least, the game intends for large portions of the characters and the setting to be
informed through the use of stories, told by the players themselves as they rest. Resting at the
Bonfire is an event, not just a speedbump on the road to your next excursion. Such stories are not
just informative, but act as a key part of many downtime actions.
If all that sounds worth your time, keep reading. Otherwise you can make you own damn
homebrew.
Legalese
For the record, I don’t own ANY of this shit legally speaking. I’m not planning on making any
money off of this and neither should you. Don’t be a dick.

CHAPTER 1 - At its most Basic: Stats and Souls
Player Stats
Players have seven Stat scores, and a number of values derived from them. Taken all at once, it
may seem overwhelming. Too much book keeping. You should find that while writing out a
character sheet or leveling up might involve juggling numbers, in play actions will be quick and
easy because all of the math has been done in advance.
Base Stats
The list of Base Stats for players are provided below, as well as hand bullet points detailing all of
the effects of leveling up that Base Stat for handy reference.
Vitality (VIT) – Used to increase the Health of the character.

• The Health of a character is equal to 150 + (VIT * 20).
Endurance (END) – Used to increase the stamina dice of the character and their equip load. Helps
resist Status Effects like Poison, Bleed or Curse.
• Stamina Pool by Endurance
1-5 6 - 10 11- 15 16 – 20 21 - 25 26 - 30 31 - 35 36 – 40 41+
4 Die 5 Die 6 Die 7 Die 8 Die 9 Die 10 Die 11 Die 12 Die
• Equip Load = 30 + Endurance
• The total Weight of your carried equipment, based on your Equip Load, impacts
your ability to use the Dodge action and how easy it is to do so.
• Resistance (used to defend against Status Effects) equals Endurance * 2.
Strength (STR) - Used to unlock most weapons and in many cases improve the damage of those
weapons.
• Higher Strength will allow you to use more weapons.
• Increasing Strength will increase the Scaled Damage of any weapon that scales
with Strength.
Dexterity (DEX) - Used to unlock most weapons and in many cases improve the damage of those
weapons.
• Higher Dexterity will allow you to use more weapons.
• Increasing Dexterity will increase the Scaled Damage of any weapon that scales
with Dexterity.

Attunement (ATT) – Used to enable the use of Spells and Licenses.

• At 9 Attunement, 1 Attunement slot is unlocked. After that, for every 3
Attunement (12, 15, 18…) an additional Attunement slot is unlocked.
• Attunement slots are used to attune spells for casting.
• A player cannot buy a License if they already have more Licenses than they have
Attunement slots.
• Every increase to Attunement increases Focus. Focus equals 40 + (Attunement * 2).
Intelligence (INT) – Used for Sorceries, Pyromancies, and some Hexes. Also effects Magic, Fire and
Dark defense and damage.
• Higher Intelligence can unlock magic weapons and Catalysts for use. Will also
improve the performance of such weapons and Catalysts.
• Higher Intelligence unlocks more powerful Sorceries, Pyromancies and Hexes for
use.
• Increases Magic Bonus, Fire Bonus, and potentially Dark Bonus. This impacts
related defenses and spells.
Faith (FTH) – Used for Miracles, Pyromancies, and some Hexes. Also effects Lightning, Fire and
Dark defense and damage.
• Higher Faith can unlock magic weapons and Catalysts for use. Will also improve
the performance of such weapons and Catalysts.
• Higher Faith unlocks more powerful Miracles, Pyromancies and Hexes for use.
• Increases Lightning Bonus, Fire Bonus, and potentially Dark Bonus. This impacts
related defenses and spells.

Other Values
A more complete list of the various Derived Scores and their functions.
Health: If your Health is reduced to 0, you die. Luckily (or unluckily, depending on your point of
view) as an Undead death doesn’t last long for you. Your maximum health is equal to 150 + (VIT *
20).
Focus: Used to activate spells and sometimes other abilities. Focus is equal to 40 + (Attunement *
2).
Stamina: A pool of six-sided die that represents your ability to act during a given combat turn. At
the start of each combat round, you roll all Stamina Die in your pool and set them aside, rolled
numbers preserved. You expend Stamina to perform actions in combat. Your amount of Stamina
die available is based on your Endurance.
Humanity: Humanity is gained by defeating bosses, piecing together from Dregs left behind by
weaker enemies, and can even be found by exploration. As long as your current Humanity is 1 or
greater, you have a Human form. If you have 0 Humanity, you appear as a Hollow. As long as you
are human form, non-cursed humans will treat you normally but hollow NPCs will be much more
predatory. As long as you are hollow form human NPCs will be afraid of you but fellow hollows
will treat you like any other person. As long as you posses Humanity on death, you do not suffer
any negative effects of dying beyond losing your held Humanity.
Soul Level: As you spend Souls to level up your character, keep track of what your current level
is. This number is your Soul Level. Not only does the amount of souls needed to level up change
each level, but your Soul Level factors into many Derived Scores, meaning that these scores
increase any time you level up regardless of what you invest that level into.
Physical Defenses: The Physical Defenses refer to defenses for Bash, Slash and Thrust damage
types. These all work the same way, though they are different values. Whenever the character is
dealt damage of the according type, reduce the damage taken by half of your total relevant
Defense. Bash Defense is equal to 1/2 the characters Soul Level + any Bash Defense provided by
armor or other sources. The same is true for Thrust and Slash defenses.
Magic Bonus: Impacts Magic damage, spells and Magic Defense. Equal to the Intelligence of the
character.
Magic Defense: Whenever the character is dealt Magic damage, reduce the damage taken by half
of your total Magic Defense. Magic Defense is equal to 1/2 the character’s Soul Level + their Magic
Bonus, as well as any Magic Defense provided by armor or other sources.
Fire Bonus: Impacts Fire damage, spells and Fire Defense. Equal to the character’s (Intelligence +
Faith)/2.

Fire Defense: Whenever the character is dealt Fire damage, reduce the damage taken by half of
your total Fire Defense. Fire Defense is equal to 1/2 the character’s Soul Level + their Fire Bonus,
as well as any Fire Defense provided by armor or other sources.
Dark Bonus: Impacts Dark damage, spells and Dark Defense. Equal to the Intelligence or the
Faith of the character, whichever is lowest.
Dark Defense: Whenever the character is dealt Dark damage, reduce the damage taken by half
of your total Dark Defense. Dark Defense is equal to 1/2 the character’s Soul Level + their Dark
Bonus, as well as any Dark Defense provided by armor or other sources.
Lightning Bonus: Impacts Lightning damage, spells and Lightning Defense. Equal to the Faith of
the character.
Lightning Defense: Whenever the character is dealt Lightning damage, reduce the damage
taken by half of your total Lightning Defense. Lightning Defense is equal to 1/2 the character’s
Soul Level + their Lightning Bonus, as well as any Lightning Defense provided by armor or other
sources.
Resistance: Your Resistance is used to stave off the onset of status effects such as Poison, Bleed
or Curse. Whenever you gain buildup in relation to a status effect, that status effect does not
trigger until your total buildup for that status effect equals or exceeds your Resistance. Certain
gear may increase your resistance to specific Status Effects, treating your Resistance as being
higher in relevant cases. Resistance is equal to your Soul Level + (END * 2).
Equip Load: Your Equip Load determines how high your Encumbrance can be and how that level
of Encumbrance impacts your ability to use the Dodge action. Your Equip Load is equal to 30 +
your Endurance.
Encumbrance: Your Encumbrance is equal to the total weight of the weapons, shields, armor and
rings you have equipped. Consult the table below for its effects on the Dodge action.
Encumbrance < 50% Encumbrance Encumbrance Encumbrance > twice
Equip Load between 50% and between 100% and Equip Load
100% Equip Load 200% Equip Load

Souls and Leveling up

As you defeat enemies, you will acquire souls. These souls are gained immediately upon the death
of that enemy, even before the battle ends.
Souls can be traded to others as a form of currency, or spent to level up. Souls can also be lost,
usually as a result of dying.
This will mean that party members can become out of synch in terms how many souls they have
and even their levels. However, even a disparity in levels doesn’t mean one cannot contribute to
the success of the group.
To level up, the amount of souls needed changed each level. See the table below for details.

CHAPTER 2 - Making a Character

Step 1: Choose a name. For many, this is the same as in any other system. For it is not uncommon
for Hollows, whose memory has degraded due to the curse, to have latched onto a name that is
not the one that they were given by their parents. For others, in some lands it is traditional to
introduce yourself via your profession, such as ‘Knight Elric’ or ‘Jeweler Alice’. Ultimately, that
you have one is largely more important than what it is.
Step 2: Choose your Gender. For the purposes of this, your options are limited to Male and
Female. Mechanically, this only rarely matters.
Step 3: Choose your Profession. This defines your starting attributes and equipment. Certain
professions may result in spells.

Chapter 3 - Exploration
Whether it is the walled city of lords, or the expansive kingdoms of Drangleic, the world is a big
place full of more than just things to fight. Most of it probably wants to kill you, but not all of it!
Over the course of your adventures, your group of undead will come across wonderful vistas and
ancient ruins, sources of both treasure and danger. Taking an active hand in exploration will be
more satisfying, and more rewarding, than acting like a passive passenger on your own epic
journey.
Cartography
As your group explores, it can expect to cover a lot of ground. And if you are following the Dark
Souls tradition, you can expect to backtrack a lot, returning to old doors with new keys or
outstanding bosses with gained strength. A well-kept map can make this process much, much
easier.
As you explore, one of your priorities as a player should be to make a map of your surroundings,
and mark it with noteworthy features and enemies. Do not trust your character to remember such
details for you, as Undead have notorious problems with fading memory.
Whenever you want to return to a previously explored area, your group can return there without
having to deal with any of the enemies, traps, or environmental dangers described on your map
(or maps, if the area you are returning to extends across multiple maps). This allows you to
simplify back tracking, under the presumption that your characters can manage the trip with
foreknowledge and preparation. Don’t always take this to be an absolute, however. If there are
threats on the way back of which your characters are unaware, such as new enemies or previously
open paths that are now closed to you, you will have to deal with those as they come.
It is the players responsibility to keep and maintain their maps. If you should lose them, they can’t
help you.
Problems and Solutions

Fires Far Away, unlike many RPGs, avoids pitting success on random chance. Don’t expect to have
an exhaustive list of skills to roll to see if you notice something or solve your problem.
Instead, Fires Far Away follows a logic that might seem familiar to fans of old style video games:
lock and key logic. Simply put, you open the lock if you have the key. If you do not have the key,
you cannot open the lock. In this context, ‘key’ can mean all sorts of things. Actual, physical keys
are the obvious example, but a specific magic ring might end up being a key that allows you to
solve your problem. Or membership in a covenant. A license. A spell.
GMs will have to find the right balance between presenting problems and making solutions
available. There is nothing wrong with having players run into a problem and then making them
find the key for it, but industrious or curious players should have the opportunity to find keys to
locks they don’t even know about yet.
13
Fires Far Away
Have Detours Planned

If at first you don’t succeed, die and die again. However, Humanity is a limited resource and
memories are precious. If the party is having trouble with a specific area or enemy, find another
path to explore and come back later. There is no shame in avoiding a boss that you don’t have the
tools to beat yet, and victory will be all the sweeter when you can fight an enemy that used to be
your doom on an even footing.
This also applies to locked doors and other obstacles in your way. You won’t always have what you
need to get past them the first time you encounter them, so just make a note of it on your map
and keep an eye out for information and tools that can help you solve that problem in your other
travels.
Ambushes
Not every enemy you come across is worth engaging in a complicated encounter. Often, a lone
enemy like a cowardly hollow or an ooze clinging to the ceiling lies in wait to take you unawares.
These threats are dangerous, perhaps even deadly, but are meant to be handled quickly as a series
of exactly two attacks, and then moved past.
When an Ambush begins, the Ambush is always targeted at a specific character. Some Ambushes
target the first person to stumble into them, others wait and take the last person in line. Try not
to repeat the same trigger too often, or pick on a particular player too much.
An Ambushing monster has the same stats as a normal enemy of its type, with the exception that
it only has 1 HP.
The Ambushed player starts by rolling 2d6 as a Reaction Roll. If the result is less than or equal to
the Stamina cost of using the player’s held weapon, the Ambusher goes first. The Ambusher
makes a basic attack against the player, and then the player responds in kind. If the Player kills
the Ambusher, they gain half the number of souls normally associated with that enemy, and have
the chance to Loot as normal. If the player fails to kill the Ambusher in one attack (which, given
the fact they only have 1 HP, would require that the player fails to overcome their damage
absorption) the monster escapes and no souls or Loot are gained.
If the result of the 2d6 Reaction Roll is greater than Stamina cost of the players held weapon, the
Player makes their attack first. If they fail to kill the Ambusher, the monster makes its attack
before it escapes. Otherwise it resolves as above.
If the player is holding more than one weapon at the time of Ambush, they may choose which
weapon to could for the purpose of determining the outcome of the Reaction Roll. Obviously,
faster weapons are more likely to give the player the chance to strike first. Only weapons that are
held, not just carried, may be counted for an Ambush. Spells may not be used to deal damage in
an Ambush, only weapons (which, for an unfortunate sorcerer, may mean whacking a hollow with
your catalyst and hoping it hurts them).

Merchants – Hollows and Humans

In your travels you can expect to find friendly faces here and there. Some might only have some
helpful advice for you, others might be allies you can convince to help you in battle against
certain foes. But sometimes they have what you want, and to get it you will have to give them
something in return.
How you deal with these individuals depends heavily on whether they are humans or hollows.
Hollows, like you, tend to be rather laid back and resigned to their fate. After all, they will have
already died once, and that tends to grant some perspective. Like the players, Hollows crave souls
to salve their ailing mind, and all material concerns are a distant second to this all important goal.
Whether it be a blacksmith to work your armor, a sorcerer you want to copy spells from, or an
accomplished adventurer with treasures from distant lands, all hollows can be expected to treat
souls as the ultimate currency.
Humans are a different matter. Humans, while often short lived in the sorts of places that hollows
seek their fate, can be found in both civilized areas and the dangerous corners of the world.
Unlike hollows, these humans have never died, and thus treat souls as more of an academic
concern. They still value material wealth, and you will need coins to buy their services instead.
In general, human merchants work much like hollow merchants, but the value of their wares can
only be paid in rusted coins or gold coins. Rusted coins are worth roughly 1000 souls to such
humans, and gold coins are worth 5000. Other treasures might be of value to humans as well, but
coins as currency is a longstanding tradition you can count on.
Status Effects
Status Effects in Fires Far Away all use the same basic mechanic to determine gaining them:
certain attacks, spells and traps will cause the victim to gain an effect pool associated with it.
These pools drain over time, usually at a rate of 10 points per combat round, but if the pool ever
exceeds the affected target’s Resistance the Status Effect immediately applies and the pool drains
to 0. Usually you will not have more than one Status Effect accruing at a time, but in rare cases it
can happen and neither pool affects the other. Generally your Resistance applies equally to all
Status Effects, leaving you equally vulnerable to all, but certain items or abilities will grant you
extra Resistance against specific Status Effects.
Common Status Effects are provided below, but GMs can include new Status Effects in their
games as well with little effort.
Acid: When this effect is triggered, the target must choose one weapon, ring, or piece of armor
that he has equipped. This item becomes broken, and provide no benefit or use until it has been
repaired. Acid generally provides no benefit against monsters.
Poison: Target starts to lose health over time. The target loses 10 HP at the end of every player
turn. This lasts until the effect is cured or until the end of combat, at which point the target loses
an additional 50 HP. Life Loss, unlike damage, is not reduced by Defense.
15
Fires Far Away
Bleed: Target immediately loses an amount of life equal to the Critical Damage of the weapon. If
no such value is available, the amount defaults to 150. Life Loss, unlike damage, is not reduced by
Defense.
Frostbite: Target loses 50 HP, and for the rest of this combat rolls one fewer Stamina Die. This
can be applied multiple times in a single combat. Life Loss, unlike damage, is not reduced by
Defense.
Stagger: Target loses half their unspent Stamina die of their choice, or one unused Interrupt, as
appropriate. They cannot use the Dodge action for the rest of the Round.
Curse: Curse is an especially nasty status effect, or rather a grouping of status effects that share a
common defense. Curses are magical effects that can affect the player even beyond their next
Death. For as long as a character is suffering a persistent Curse, that character’s attacks are
treated as if they were Cursed weapons for any situation where that matters (usually relevant
when fighting ghosts). Persistent curses last until the character removes their curse, such as by
using a Purging Stone.
Common curses include:
Killing Curse: The character dies instantly. This is unfortunate, but has no persistent
effect.
Petrification Curse: The character dies and their body is frozen in place. They do not
revive, at the bonfire or otherwise, until this curse is cured for them by someone else.
Until this curse is removed all equipment that character is carrying is similarly petrified,
and unavailable for use. This curse is not to be underestimated, as it is the closest thing to
death that can happen to an Undead. Petrification Curses can be cured using a Divine
Blessing or a Fragrant Branch of Yore.
Withering Curse: The character immediately dies, and upon reviving their max HP is
halved. This effect persists until the curse is Cured.
Curse of Hollowing: The character loses one humanity, or failing that a Memory, as if they
had died. Their maximum HP is reduced by 50. The character cannot be affected by the
Curse of Hollowing a second time while the first is still in effect. This Curse lasts until the
character next dies, or is Cured.

Chests
Chests are a staple of any fantasy RPG. Its where you expect to find good stuff, or occasionally get
attacked by a mimic looking for a free lunch. Typical adventurer stuff.
For the purpose of Fires Far Away, there are two distinct kinds of chests: wooden chests and metal
chests. Wooden Chests typically contain common items, and metals chests typically contain rarer
things.
When opening a metal chest, you simply get what the GM says is in the chest, which should be an
uncommon or rare item ,or perhaps even a valuable key. That’s fine and dandy.
Wooden chests are another matter. Much more commonly found than metal chests, when a
wooden chest is opened the player who is opening the chest may roll 1d6. On a 4 or less, the GM
selects a common item that the chest holds. However, on a 5 or 6, the player is the one to pick the
common item they receive. This gives players some amount of leeway to acquire specific items or
resources they need without being entirely at the GMs mercy to give it to them.
While GMs have more leeway to select the contents of a chest, the player must have a Common
Item to suggest immediately. If they cannot provide a Common Item for the chest promptly, no
more than a minute, the GM instead should provide the item. This is to prevent halting the game
to endlessly search the book for the ‘perfect’ item for it.
Optional Rule: Pieces of the Past

As your players explore, they should be doing more than just finding new weapons and the
enemies to use them on. They should be learning about your setting, the world around them, and
the people that have lived in it. For GMs who wants players to engage with this lore finding, the
following suggestion is provided.
As you plan the surroundings and events of your campaign, and the locations your group will
explore, come up with stories. Important heroes, kings, and scholars of the past. Their successes,
their mistakes, and their ultimate fates. Provide fragmented records and clues about these stories,
which could be anything from the placement of specific items, the condition of certain areas, and
other details.
As the players piece together these clues and threads, they can choose to perform a unique action
during a Bonfire rest, in which they tell the story they have pieced together. If the GM confirms
that player’s understanding of events is reasonably accurate and complete (100% accuracy is not
required, as long as all of the major points are conveyed) the players receive a reward. This reward
can vary based on the nature of the story and the difficulty of acquiring the necessary
information. The reward should be on par with receiving a Humanity, a powerful soul, or the
knowledge on where to find a rare or unique item.

Fog Gates : The GM’s All-Purpose Tool

Time is convoluted in Lordran. What does that mean? Nobody knows, but damn if it doesn’t
handwave all kinds of game mechanics!
In all seriousness, though, much in the way the video game series used that to explain away the
signs and invaders of other worlds, GMs can make use of this particular setting mechanic to
enhance their own games.
Peruse these examples, and make use of what tickles your fancy!
Special Guest Star by way of Summon Sign

Not everyone can make every session. This is a sad fact of real life being usually more important
than gaming. This can however make the in-game tracking of that character a real problem,
because whether they exist for that session can change on a dime.
Dark Souls gives us a handy tool for this: the Summon Sign. Simply summon your flakey party
member via an obvious glowing rune on the ground whenever they can make it, and have their
phantom fade away when they cannot. This mechanic is much more flexible in an RPG than it is
in the video game, and such companions need not ever actually go away if circumstances can
conspire to keep them around. This mechanic can likewise be used to introduce new characters
after an old PC has gone hollow, or is currently Petrified.
Likewise, a player who has to mission a session or two can find themselves summoned through
another world, or mysteriously vanish as the party passes through a Fog Gate.
Fog Gates
Fog Gates are an ominous looking way to split up levels and loading times in the game. In Fires
Far Away, use this as a way to denote to the players that there is a boss ahead if you want to
foreshadow it, or to signify a special exit from their current area. Fog Gates are a function of the
mysterious breakdown of time and distance in the waning days of the Age of Fire, so they can
even lead to times long past or places much further than a few feet would signify.
And, GMs being people too, its also an entirely legitimate use to say ‘This hallway is blocked by a
Fog Gate. It resists your passage because I didn’t design that area yet. Go explore something else
for now.’
Its poor showmanship, but hey. We’ve all been there.
You can use Fog Gates for pretty much anything, from checkpoint to plot device. You could even
make the mist a more active force, a mysterious bank of fog sweeping the party to parts unknown.
Play around with the idea.

Fires Far Away
Death and Hollowing

It wouldn’t be a Dark Souls game if death wasn’t a learning experience, but at the same time the
infinite attempts that are fine in a video game simply remove a great deal of tension from a
tabletop RPG.
Most immediately upon Death, all of the unspent souls carried by that character are absorbed by
the enemy that killed them, and half of that value is added to the souls gained from that enemy’s
defeat. A character that is dead does not gain souls from enemies killed during their death. If they
are lucky, their fellow party members will choose to split some of their winnings with their fallen
comrade when he awakens during the next Short Rest or Bonfire Rest.
But there are other consequences of dying. Hollowing is a constant threat in the lore of Dark
Souls, and so it shall serve as the ultimate fate of those that die too often in Fires Far Away.
Each character begins with 3 Memories. These are important pieces of memory that define you
and your worldview. If your character Dies and they are Human, they become Hollowing. If a
character dies while already Hollowing, they must remove either 1 Memory, or their own Name.
Once a Character forgets their Name, they cannot regain Human form.
If a character dies and has no Memories or Name to sacrifice to the curse, they become a Hollow
and cease to be a player character. The GM should instead set aside their character sheet and
consider using that character as a unique Encounter enemy at a later date, in this campaign or
even some other.
Memories can be regained, but not easily. A Memento can act as one Memory, sacrificed upon
death in the place of one. Likewise, a rare and coveted Human Effigy can restore a character’s
Name (or, at least, let them pick a new one).
Gaining new Memories can also be triggered during a Bonfire Rest, using a Story. See Bonfire
Resting for more details.
Extreme Deaths
Under certain circumstances, a character will suffer what is called an Extreme Death. Extreme
Deaths represent situations that make recovery of the body difficult or impossible, such as falling
off of a cliff, being frozen in a block of ice, or being dissolved in acid. This does not mean that the
character is well and truly dead, as the Curse of the Undead is nothing to trifle with, but it can
mean that the character is beyond the ability to participate in the rest of the adventure as their
body cannot make it back to the restorative embrace of the bonfire.
In such cases, the character might be rescued by the actions of the other party members making a
concerted effort to find and retrieve their body. If this does not happen, or it is impossible, one
must hope that the lost character was carrying a Homeward Bone. If the character is carrying a
Homeward Bone, that item is lost and the character immediately uses it to return to the last
Bonfire rested at. Otherwise they might be lost for good.
Lenient GMs might instead reintroduce the character again in the future by having the party find
their summon sign at the next bonfire to be discovered, summoning the character from another
world in Lordran’s convoluted flow of time. In such cases, the newly summoned character has lost
all carried souls and humanity before they can be spent, and has permanently lost an item they
carried of their choice as well.
19
Fires Far Away
A Short Rest
When not under any immediate threat or time constraint, the players can take a short break to
recover and prepare. Short Rests do not require the presence of a Bonfire, and usually only take a
few minutes.
During a Short Rest, if this is their first Short Rest of the session all characters regain 1d6 Focus,
and heal up to 20 Health. Each character may take this opportunity to change what Armor,
weapons, and rings they are carrying for the next leg of their journey, as well as what items are on
their belt.
Estus Flasks do not recharge during a Short Rest.
If a character is currently dead, they come back to life with all of the penalties of dying in place
during the Short Rest, and with only half of their total health healed. They are then able to
continue with the rest of the party for the next leg of the journey. If the player has suffered an
Extreme Death, a Short Rest does them no good.
Bonfire Resting
Resting at a Bonfire is an almost religious experience for a cursed undead. It heals and soothes in
a way that touches something primal, beyond explanation.
During a Bonfire Rest, all characters return to life and heal for their full HP amount (unless
Cursed or some other condition would prevent them from doing so), and all Focus restored.
Players may also perform the following Bonfire actions:
Level up: Spend souls to increase your abilities or buy Licenses.
Burn an item in the Bonfire: Some items, like souls or humanity or White Branches, provide
unique effects when consumed by a Bonfire’s flames.
Change Attunement: Assign new spells or abilities to your Attunement slots.
Change Equipment: Equip new Armor or Weapons to carry on the next leg of your journey.
Tell a Story: Telling stories are good ways to bolster the hopes and minds of the group against the
horrors to come and the Curse eating at their sanity. Telling a story can provide different benefits
based on the story being told, but what they all have in common is that they require the player to
actually make up a story and tell it to the rest of the group, as In Character as they can manage. If
the group and the GM agree that the story was Well Told, extra benefits may apply. Well Told
doesn’t necessarily mean that your characters believe the story or approve of it, but rather that
the group is giving that player credit for making the attempt. If the player is really just half-assing
it for the mechanical benefit, though, don’t reward them for skimping. These stories should be
used to round out not just the characters themselves, but the world they live in as well. No
specific Story should ever be told twice.
20
Fires Far Away
Tell a Personal Story: Make up a story about something important to your character. Some
event that shaped you. If the group agrees that the story was Well Told, and you have
fewer than 3 Memories, gain a new Memory. This cannot be used more than Once a
Campaign by a given character.
Remember a Skill: To Remember a Skill, pick a License you can afford with your currently
unspent Ability Points. Tell a Story about either how you learned that License or a time
you used that License to noteworthy effect in the past. If the Group agrees that the story
was Well Told, that License costs 1 less to purchase for you during this Rest (to a
minimum of 1).
Speak of the Past: Make up a story about the ancient world your characters inhabit. Time
leaves the details of much of the world hazy, and the line between hearsay and history,
between Fact and Legend, is almost impossible to prove. There is no defined benefit to the
outcome of this story, but GMs should feel encouraged to work such events into the lore
of the world. The weapons of ancient warriors as gear, or the monstrous vestiges of former
heroes as enemies invented in these stories might make an appearance, especially if the
group agrees that the story was Well Told. Of course, no obligation to do so exists,
especially if the story is too outlandish or self-serving.

Fires Far Away
CHAPTER 4 – Combat
Combat is separated into rounds, which do not have a defined initiative order like some other
RPGs you might be familiar with. Instead, each round begins by all participants rolling their
Stamina Bar and setting those dice aside. If facing a Boss, that Boss uses this time to roll all AI
rolls. Then, the player with the highest total Stamina for the round may go first.
The first player to Act may spend any amount of Stamina they choose on any number of actions
they can afford, one dice at a time. Stamina from a single die cannot be split between two
different actions, Stamina in excess of an action’s cost is lost. Once the player is done with the
actions they wish to take at this time, they choose the next player to act. When another player is
chosen to go next, they may Pass without spending any Stamina and choose someone else.
This continues until all players are either out of Stamina, or haven chosen to Pass. Once a player
decides to Pass, they can no longer spend Stamina except on Reactions.
At any time when a new player is chosen to Act, the GM may play an Interrupt. An Interrupt is,
essentially, the turn of an enemy, but powerful enemies like Bosses may have more than one
Interrupt per round. A GM may, if they choose, play multiple Interrupts before the next player’s
action. If all players are done acting for the current round the GM must exhaust all remaining
Interrupts before the next round can start.
Stamina Bar
Each character has a pool of resources of actions called the Stamina Bar. This is usually 6 six-sided
die, but can be higher or lower depending on the character and level. At the start of each round,
you roll your Stamina dice and set them aside. Actions you take have costs, either as a numerical
value or as a flat -1 die. To take that action, you must either remove a number of die totally at least
that value, or remove a die regardless of its value, as appropriate.
This variation in a character’s ability to act from round to round represents the chaotic flow of
battle. Some rounds will leave your character well positioned and with ample time to think, and
others will leave you scrambling just to avoid death with little opportunity to counterattack. You
cannot control these circumstances, but you can control how you choose to deal with them.
Spend your stamina wisely, and be careful not to overextend yourself. If you spend all of your
Stamina, you will leave yourself unable to perform crucial reactions such as Dodging or readying
to Block.
Interrupts
Boss Monsters are a bit more complicated, and we will get to those in a moment, but normal
enemies that you fight in Encounters have a simplified ruleset. They conflate most of their
defenses into a single value, reducing damage from multiple types by their damage absorption
and likewise treating their Damage Absorption as if it were their Resistance for Status Effects they
might suffer. Throughout the turn, they can use Interrupts to act. During an Interrupt the enemy
may Move a number of spaces equal to their listed speed, and then perform an action. Usually a
Basic Attack, but not always. Most enemies have some kind of special ability they can use instead,
and they can always devote their turn to something else that makes sense in context like opening
a door or setting a fire.

Boss Logic – AI Dice

Fires Far Away Bosses have many powerful attacks, which if they could use as they saw fit would
likely overwhelm you. Where the games follow patterns and give you tells to let player skill guide
your way to victory, this translates poorly to a tabletop game.
Instead, Boss Monsters in Fires Far Away roll AI dice as listed in their description, usually rolling 1
or 2 d6 multiple times, with each instance of AI dice acting as a different Interrupt. Compared to
the Action Table of that boss, this reveals the available actions that Boss can take this turn.
However, such single minded dedication to such a small pool of options leaves bosses very poorly
equipped to deal with creative players. As such, for a given Interrupt the Boss may choose to use
the action associated with the roll of their die, or any other lower roll. This means that Basic
Action will always be available, allowing Bosses the flexibility to do such things as climb up to
reach the higher ground a player is perched on, or run for cover. This also means that Bosses, like
players, are forced to make do with a fluctuating level of ability each turn, rather than relying on
their strongest possible attack again and again.
Abbreviations
Wep stands for the Stamina Cost listed for the weapon. For simple attacks, that stamina cost is all
you pay. Stronger or more complex attacks will apply a modifier to that value. Slashing or
Thrusting with a Halberd might only cost you 7 Stamina, but Sweeping with one would cost you 7
+ 4, for 11 Stamina to make the attack.
S stands for Slashing, any weapon that deals Slashing damage can perform this action.
T stands for Thrusting, any weapon that deals Thrusting damage can perform this action.
B stands for Bashing, any weapon that deals Bashing damage can perform this action.
Catalyst refers to the implement required for casting that manner of spell. Typically, Sorceries
require staves, Miracles require Talismans, and Pyromancies require a Flame. Special Catalysts
may also exist.
Ax stands for the Axe weapon type.
Bw stands for the Bow weapon type.
CBw stands for the Crossbow weapon type.
CS stands for the Curved Sword weapon type.
Dg stands for the Dagger weapon type.
GS stands for the Greatsword weapon type.
Hb stands for the Halberd weapon type.

Chapter 5 – Equipment
Equipment
You’ll need any advantage you can get on your journey. Some of the weapons, armor and gear
provided below should help matters.
Parameter Bonuses and Scaled Damage

Many of the weapons that follow are more effective based on your Base Stats. They are shown to
not only poses a minimum stat value required to use that weapon, but a Scale Rank associated
with that stat.
This is displayed in the format of 10|C, where 10 is the value needed to use the weapon and C is
the rank of the Scaling effect for that Stat.
Most weapons will Scale with more than 1 Stat. You determine the bonus damage from each
Scaled Stat for the weapon individually, and then add it all together to determine your Scaled
Damage. This is then added to your weapon’s listed Damage to determine how much damage
your character does when using it. Keep track of your Scaled Damage as a separate value, some
effects or actions might impact it, and, it will change as you level up whereas your weapons Base
Damage will only increase if the weapon is Upgraded.
Some weapons will Scale different damage types with different stats, such as a flaming sword
scaling its Physical damage with Strength and Dex, but its Fire damage with Faith. Unless
otherwise specified, all Scaling is Physical damage of the weapon’s listed types.
Other items, such as Catalysts, instead scale their Spell Bonus in place of their damage.
The ranks provide benefit as follows:

S A B C D
+ (Stat * 1.5) + Stat + Stat / 2 + Stat / 4 + Stat / 10
Two Handing a One-Handed Weapon: You can hold a melee weapon you meet the
prerequisites for that normally uses 1 hand in 2 hands instead to increase its damage. Doing so
adds your Strength score to the weapons damage for as long as you wield it in 2 hands, though
this obviously means you cannot also benefit from a shield.
One Handing a Two-Handed Weapon: You can try and use a two-handed weapon in only 1
hand, but doing so requires you to meet all listed Stat Requirements for the weapon + 4. For as
long as you wield the weapon in only one hand, you only benefit from half of the weapons normal
Scaled Damage, and you cannot deal Stagger with the weapon even if an attack or ability would
otherwise allow you to.

Rare Weapons
Rare weapons are of a quality and legacy that sets them apart from all but the very best of
weapons. Your best chances of finding these weapons are to pry them from the cold, dead hands
of elite enemies, or to find them in carefully guarded chests. Rare weapons can only be upgraded
with Twinkling Titanite, and cannot be enchanted or Infused.

Unique Weapons
Unique weapons are the personal weapons of kings and heroes past or present. As their name
suggests, there is only one weapon of its like in all of the world. Finding such a weapon is a
remarkable boon, and the most common and reliable way to acquire one is to fashion them from
powerful souls. Of course, that means first finding a master blacksmith to do the work, and
bringing them such a soul. Unique weapons can only be upgraded with Twinkling Titanite, and
cannot be enchanted or Infused.

Catalysts
A Catalyst is a catch-all term for an item that allows you to cast spells. Different kinds of spells
allow you to perform different kinds of magic, but they all use a single mechanic know as Spell
Buff. Much like weapons have damage, each Catalyst have Spell Buff which impacts the
effectiveness of spells. Spell Buff can be upgraded as if it were damage, with Common or
Uncommon Catalsysts upgrading with Titanite and Rare or Unique Catalysts upgrading with
Twinkling Titanite.
Many Catalysts can also be used as crude weapons, though bonking a monster with your staff is
likely much less effective than channeling arcane power through it. Some exceptions exist that are
more weapon than catalyst, though the Spell Buff of such tools usually suffers accordingly.

Shields
Shields are lifesaving pieces of defensive equipment used to increase your defenses against a
specific threat. They generally provide no benefit except when used to Block, though shields can
also be used to perform a Bash attack as if they were a weapon, with no Parameter bonus from
Attributes. Some shields also provide magical benefits, which apply for as long as you are carrying
the shield (even if you are not Blocking with it currently).
The defensive properties of Shields can be upgraded as if they were Armor. The Bash damage
cannot be upgraded. Common Shields can be upgraded with Titanite, and Rare or Unique Shields
can be upgraded with Twinkling Titanite.

Armor
Armor is defense gear worn to reduce damage you take from attacks and other sources. Armor is
traditionally separated into groups called Sets, and when you find a Set of Armor you gain one
copy of each piece that makes up that set. Multiple copies of a given Set of armor can be gained by
the party, and indeed they must be if you want more than one character to be wearing the same
armor, as a given piece of armor cannot be used by more than one person at a time.
Normally a character would be expected to wear an entire Set of armor, but players that wish to
mix and match armor pieces between sets are welcome to do so.
Armor provides defensive bonuses for both Physical (Slash, Thrust, and Bash) and Supernatural
(Magic, Fire, Dark and Lightning) sources of damage. These apply all times you would take
damage while wearing them, unless otherwise specified.

Rings
Rings are a form of magical equipment that provide useful bonuses often not available from other
equipment or spells. Each character may only wear up to two Rings at a time, so these benefits
must be chosen carefully, but a player may change their equipped rings during any Short Rest or
Bonfire Rest.
No character can wear more than one copy of any Ring with the same name. Different Rings with
different names can have overlapping or stacking effects.
No Rings are Common, the least rare Rings are always Uncommon. Most Rings are Rare. In
addition, many Rings have a second, more powerful form listed as a +1 variation of that Ring.
Certain powerful individuals or skilled smiths can upgrade a Ring to +1 in return for favors or
powerful souls, otherwise +1 Rings are always Rare (even if their original version was only
Uncommon).

Flasks
Flasks are a special item that carries special use and meaning to those suffering the curse of the
undead, as it carries some small amount of the strength of fire to heal the mind and body of those
that feed on souls. There are many kinds of flasks of various quality, from different lands or
different ages. Any successful undead will have a Flask attuned to them, restoring its power
whenever they rest at a bonfire. A single person may only have a single Flask attuned to them at
any time, and a Flask that is not attuned to an undead lacks the conduit required to replenish
itself. However, an Undead may drink from Flasks belonging to other undead, if they are willing
to share such a precious resource.
Most Flasks either heal a set amount of health or restore a certain amount of Focus when
imbibed, with a few doing both. Each Flask also has a set number of uses, which are restored only
during a Bonfire rest.
Any Flask may be shattered to create an Estus Flask Shard. Estus Flask shards can be given to
Blacksmiths or Firekeepers to enhance another Flask, granting one additional Drink from it after
any future rest. A given Flask cannot be upgraded in this fashion more than 5 times.

Humanity: Can be consumed to increase the Humanity of the user, staving off hollowing for one
more Death. Or instead, Humanity can be fed to a Bonfire to increase its strength, benefiting all
attuned Flasks during Bonfire Rests there going forward.
Alluring Skull: Throw up to 3 spaces away. The next Interrupt used by an enemy within 6 spaces
of where it lands must be used to move as close to that space as possible, and no attack is made.
Cracked Red Eye Orb: Can be crushed to gain 1 Dreg in addition to any other Loot when looting
a fallen enemy. Or, instead, you may crush it over the body of a defeated PC to destroy one of

A Cracked Red Eye Orb can also be consumed in conjunction with a soul Item, such as a Fading
Soul, Soul of a Hero, or even a Boss Soul. Doing so increased the amount of souls gained from it
by 50%, but you are the only one to benefit from doing so. No other party member gains
anything.
Gold Coin - When looting, before you roll, Crush to roll to Loot two times, add +1 to one of those

Boss Souls and Boss Weapons
Certain bosses with drop as part of their rewards a unique Soul attuned to them. This soul can be
consumed by a single player to give them, and only them, an influx of souls. Alternatively, the
Boss Soul can be saved for later and traded (along with some souls as payment) to a Master
Blacksmith, archwizard, or other powerful individual to transpose its properties into a unique
piece of gear that is strongly aligned with the soul.
This is often a weapon of special power, but can just as easily be armor or a ring or a spell,
depending on the special nature and history of the boss in question. Some Boss Souls even have
multiple items they can become, and the players must choose which one they would like to trade
the soul for. The transposer in question should always explain the player’s choice of options to
them ahead of time.

Optional Rule: The Nature of the Soul

Many powerful beings and bosses gain that power through quirks of fate eerily similar to the
ancient souls they carry. Across time and many cycles of the world, it becomes an obvious fact
that certain souls always lead their bearers to similar powers and similar destinies, glorious and
tragic alike.
What, then, of the undead that consumes such a soul?
GMs wishing to explore this question might alter Boss Souls or design their own to have unique
benefits and or drawbacks to consuming them for souls. This might include bestowing new
Memories, taking on those imprinted on the soul itself, or unique Licenses. Certain souls might
carry within them important plot information that becomes known to the one that consumes it,
while others carry unfortunate curses that warp the character to some degree.
Play with the idea to whatever degree you desire.

Weapon upgrades
There are two kinds of weapon upgrades: Reinforcement and
Infusion. Any blacksmith can perform Reinforcement
provided a weapon, a smithy, and some Titanite. Infusion
requires the skill of a Master Blacksmith and a Ember, and
allows you to change the nature of a weapon.
Reinforcement of Weapons
Weapons can be reinforced up to 5 times. This is described as a weapon being +1 to +5, with the
weapon starting at 0 as its listed stats. Each Level of reinforcement adds an amount of physical
damage equal to 10% of the weapon’s original damage (rounded down to the nearest integer). So a
fully Reinforced weapon will do 150% damage for its base value. Reinforcement does not impact
weapon Scaling.
Common and Uncommon weapons Reinforce using Titanite. Rare and Unique weapons can only
be Reinforced with Twinkling Titanite. Legend tells of weapons of unusual origin or far off lands
that can only be upgraded with even rarer materials, like demonic metals or dragon scales. But
what are the odds the likes of you would ever find such a weapon?
Common and Uncommon

Reinforcement Level Resources Cost to Upgrade
+1 1 Titanite Shard 250 Souls
+2 2 Titanite Shards 500 Souls
Rare and Unique

Reinforcement Level Resources Cost to Upgrade
+1 1 Twinkling Titanite 1000 Souls
Not everyone can Reinforce their own equipment, though those with the Blacksmith license can
Reinforce and Repair equipment with access to an Anvil. Sometimes you can find an abandoned
smithy that still has an Anvil for your use, but there are also portable Anvils that can allow you to
work your equipment on the road during Bonfire Rests.
For everyone else, you will have to find a friendly Blacksmith to do the work for you. If you have
one in the party, that’s great. Otherwise, you had better start making friends with strong-armed
folk you meet on your travels.
59

Infusion
Infusion allows you to change the nature of a weapon, typically in the form of adding new kinds of
damage to the weapon.
It is possible for weapons to be infused multiple times, however a weapon cannot have more than
one kind of secondary damage. Bleed and Poison effects likewise fill the roll of secondary damage,
so you cannot have a weapon that causes both Magic damage and Bleed. However, Infusions that
change the Scaling of a weapon can be combined with weapons that add secondary damage just
fine.
Infusion Requires Effect Cost

Heavy Heavy Gem Increase Strength Scaling of the weapon by one Rank (to a 1500 souls
minimum of E).
Sharp Sharp Gem Increase Dexterity Scaling of the weapon by one Rank (to a 1500 souls
minimum of E).
Arcane Faintstone Increase Intelligence Scale of the weapon by one Rank (to a 1500 souls
minimum of E).
Silver Holy Silver Increase Faith Scale of the weapon by one Rank (to a minimum 1500 souls
of E).
Bleed Bloodstone Weapon deals 30 bleed per hit. 2000 souls
Poison Poisonstone Weapon deals 30 poison per hit. 2000 souls
Frost Coldstone Weapon deals 25 Frostbite per hit. 2000 souls
Magic Magic Gem Decrease base damage by 10%, decrease either STR or DEX 2500 souls
Scaling by one rank. Add Magic-typed Secondary damage equal
to half the new base damage, improved by Magic Bonus.
Fire Fire Gem Decrease base damage by 10%, decrease either STR or DEX 2500 souls
Scaling by one rank. Add Fire-typed Secondary damage equal to
half the new base damage, improved by Fire Bonus.
Dark Dark Gem Decrease base damage by 10%, decrease either STR or DEX 2500 souls
Scaling by one rank. Add Dark-typed Secondary damage equal

Lightning Lightning Decrease base damage by 10%, decrease either STR or DEX 2500 souls
Gem Scaling by one rank. Add Lightning-typed Secondary damage
equal to half the new base damage, improved by Lightning
Bonus.
Infusion requires more skill and resources than Reinforcement does. Players can only Infuse their
equipment if they have the Master Blacksmith license, access to a smithy, the listed Gems and
Souls, and a special item called an Ember. Embers allow Master Blacksmiths to perform specific
infusions. If you have a Master Blacksmith in the party, they can use an Ember. Otherwise, you
will have to find a friendly Blacksmith with the skill to use your Ember for you, though Embers
are exceptionally valuable and thus you might not get it back from them after. Embers can be
used many, many times, and most Embers survive from the foundries of ancient kingdoms.
Different Embers can have overlapping effects, depending on their origin.

Embers include:
Dull Ember: Allows for Heavy, Sharp, Arcane and Silver Infusions.
Farron Ember: Allows for Heavy, Sharp, and Poison Infusions.
Sages Ember: Allows for Magic, Arcane, Dark and Silver Infusions.
Crimson Ember: Allows for Magic, Fire and Bleed Infusions.
Profaned Ember: Allows for Dark, Fire and Poison Infusions.
Brilliant Ember: Allows for Magic, Fire, and Lightning Infusions.
Dragonslayer’s Ember: Allows for Heavy, Silver, and Lightning Infusions.
Deep Ember: Allows for Silver, Dark, Frost and Arcane Infusions.
Reinforcement of Armor
Reinforcing Armor is much less complicated than Reinforcing a Weapon, but also less flexible. It
requires much more resources to Reinforce armor, and Armor cannot be Infused.
Each piece of Armor can normally only be Reinforced one time. To Reinforce a Set, you will have
to perform Reinforcement for each piece of that Set on its own.
To Reinforce a piece of armor to +1 requires a Blacksmith with a smithy, 1500 souls and 5
Titanite Shards. Afterwards the Armor is considered +1, and all defenses it provides are increased
by 50%, rounded up. So an Armor piece that granted 12 Slash defense and 3 Fire Defense would
now grant 18 Slash Defense and 5 Fire Defense respectively.
To Reinforce an armor piece a second time to +2 requires instead 2500 souls and 2 Twinkling
Titanite and 3 Titanite Shards, resulting in armor that is doubled the defensive value of its original
values (ignoring the +1 values) but also weighting 50% more than it did originally.
This represents the sum total of ways that Armor can be Reinforced.

Chapter 6 - Magic
Spell List
Spells are special abilities that require a Catalyst to use. Spells are divided into four categories.
Pyromancies are heavily themed around Fire, both in the obvious use of burning things and more
esoteric applications of consumption and change. Pyromancies are typically cast using a Flame.
Sorceries are manipulations of the energies of the world honed by research and knowledge.
Sorceries are typically cast using a Staff.
Miracles are stories of the gods, empowered by the faith of the penitent. Miracles are themed
around protection, healing, and lightning as the divine weapon of the gods. Miracles are typically
cast using a Talisman.
Hexes are a heretical branch of magic that infuses, some would even say corrupts, spells with the
essence of Dark. Hexes tend to deal most directly with Humanity and the soul, and Hexes often
seem to guide themselves beyond the will of the caster. Hexes are typically cast using a Chime.
Each Spell has multiple two costs. The first cost is Stamina, like any action. The second cost is
Focus.
