CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER
In its full release, Fabula Ultima lets you create a custom Player Character that suits the type of
story you want to see at your table. For the sake of simplicity, this tutorial provides four pre-made
characters designed to help you learn the rules of the game and discover its potential!
If you have less than four Player Characters, make sure one person plays as Blair Clarimonde.
You can find sheets for all four characters starting on the next page and on fabulaultima.com!
BLAIR CLARIMONDE
The perceptive heir to the throne of Dunova, Blair can support allies in battle
with words of hope and encouragement; when necessary, they can unleash
powerful light-element magic against the enemy.
CASSANDRA
Strong and agile, Cassandra is the former captain of the Skyrider force and a
master of spear combat. She can weaken enemies and strike at flying targets
using her elemental powers.
EDGAR
A young inventor who survived a mysterious incident, Edgar is clever and
resourceful. His custom-made pistol can target multiple foes at once and
inflict negative status effects.
LAVIGNE FALLBRIGHT
Solemn and imposing, Lavigne was the princess of the kingdom of Armorica,
conquered by the Empire. She can channel her lifeforce into a massive
greatsword and is the most resilient member of the group.
When you see this icon on your sheet, it means this part of your character is “locked”
