Some abilities, powers, or effects call for a dice flip when a certain number is rolled during a skill check. A dice flip is also called a difference flip. This is written as “Flip-6” or “F6”, meaning that if any die on a roll shows a 6, it should be flipped to a 1 before being totaled to figure result points.

Advantage and Disadvantage
Status conditions, abilities, and effects can give a character Advantage or Disadvantage on a roll.
Night Mares
Night mares appear as large, black, misty
horses with Barning red eyes. Some say
they’re the ghosts of cruelly treated horses.
They look fully solid on the head, torso, and
upper legs, but the lower legs seem like mist,
though thls is (somerimes) only an illusion.
These ghosts of wild horses appear only
at night, and they can normally be heard
before they can be seen. Ac the approach
of a night mare, the area grows unnaturally
quiet. Sometimes, the only audible sound is
the thunder of the hooves. At ocher times,
the steeds are so stealthy chat they can’t be
heard umil they’re dose enough co mike.
The sudden appearance of one of these
creatures snorting steam can be a most
unnerving event.
Horses
Horses have been bred, domesticated,
and used by people for over five millennia.
Serving in warfare, farming, and transport,
no other creature has been more versatile
or vital co humanity’s survival. Although
technology has supplanted many of its
functions, horses still have the power to
inspire awe in a way few creatures do.
Homin-insectoids
Whether created by sorcery, weird sci-
ence, or some other sort of supernatural
occurrence, human-appearing insecroids
have begun to spread out. The primary
human-Insect Hybrid that are known to
exist are the hive-oriented Antians and
the more solitary Mantins and Wespefrau
(“Wasp-wife”).
Hive-Mind Aliens
The Augue, a type of hive-mind alien,
are very large, standing between 2.5 and
three meters in height when fully erect.
They weigh between 150 and 250 kilo-
grams and are immensely strong. They
can turn their torsos a full 7S degrees in
either direction, allowing them to respond
to attacks from any angle.
Herd Animals
On the great savannas of Africa, every-
thing gives way to solitary predators such
as the lion, the cheetah, and the jackal. In
comparison, the gazelle and zebra appear
almost tame. Twoorthreeseem picturesque
and seven to eight almost majestic. It’s not
until I 0 or more appear that they begin to
evoke a sense of unease. With a herd, it’s
not quality that matters: it’s quantity.
Headless Entities
The Headless Horseman of legend is
one a type of spectral creatures that seek
to regain in death what it had lost or been
denied in life, in the case of the Headless
Horseman, that is, a new head. Other,
similar entities may seek a hand, a heart,
or even something immaterial such as love
or respect. Universally, these entities are
driven to commit terrible acts in order to
achieve their goals.
Gremlins
Gremlins are the most feared creature in any
society advancing in technology. While they are not
the most powerful supernatural creatures, they have
the ability to cause machines of all sorts to cease to
function properly.
Gray Aliens
Commonly called Grays by humans,
their name for themselves is the KaLa. They
are between 1.3 meters and 1.67 meters
call and thin by human standards, weighing
between 26 and 45, yet sturdily built.
Their hairless skin varies from a light gray
or grayish green to charcoal gray.
