Welcome to Final Fantasy d20!
In this handbook, you will find all the information needed to run a Final Fantasy d20 game, or to add Final
Fantasy flavor to your normal 3.5 edition or Pathfinder campaign. The series is designed for electronic
distribution, made to for modular access to the game system in PDF format that is easy to print out and use as
you need them for your games.
This particular chapter is only the beginning. It is designed as an introduction to the FFd20 game, to give
interested parties the overall design philosophy. This chapter is an introduction to the game itself.
It is important to note that this game is built entirely with the 3.5 edition and Pathfinder rules in mind, and thus
often very closely resembles those rules. Departures from the core system were carefully considered and studied
to measure their impact on the game. Those departures that were ultimately embraced were those that added a
significant “Final Fantasy Feel” to the tabletop game, which includes emulating some aspects of a computer
RPG (CRPG) in Pen-And-Paper format, and adopting some of the more archetypal FF trappings. Departures
include things like the magic points, limit breaks, FF spells, summons and plenty of other ways in which FFd20
is distinguished.
Even with these diversions, care has been taken to ensure a balance with non-FFd20 sources. Any materials
made for the core system of 3.5 edition and Pathfinder should work side-by-side with the FFd20 rules without
much complication. Advice is given in a later document (“Conversions”) about how to integrate the material. It
is largely assumed, however, that in using the FFd20 system, you will be largely using things designed for the
FFd20 system. Final Fantasy d20 puts you in control of the vast worlds of Final Fantasy. Regardless of how you
use the material in these documents, it is your world now.
What is Final Fantasy d20?
Final Fantasy d20 (abbreviated as FFd20) is a table-top role-playing game that uses 3.5 edition rules and
Pathfinder combined with the style of the Final Fantasy videogames to create a pen-and-paper RPG that is
capable of putting the epic, save-the-world adventure, deep characterization, and story philosophies that have
become the hallmark of the Final Fantasy games into the control of any group of gamers.
In doing this, FFd20 takes 3.5 edition and Pathfinder as its rules base, and supplements it with new races, new
classes, feats, skills, spells, prestige classes, characters, monsters, meanings, and iconography of the Final

Fantasy games. Rather than focus on emulating the mechanics of the FF games, FFd20 cherry-picks from
various games in the series, utilizing trends that unite them to forge a table-top game system that can
successfully drive home a unique Final Fantasy feel in play.
In short, the rules and advice in these documents is not just for any night of normal gaming. FFd20 promotes
episodic, narrative-focused, character-driven gaming, in which the players put themselves in the roles of heroes,
not just adventurers. More dramatic and involved than dungeon raids, the campaigns of FFd20 focus on
philosophical themes of humanity, such as death, love, truth, evolution, time and space, and true human nature,
entwining these ideas into the heroes and the villains and the world itself.
FFd20 explores these stories with imagery drawn from the Final Fantasy series, and through that series, through
world myth and legend. At the center of FFd20, like at the center of any FF game, is the concept of envelope-
pushing storytelling, examining the meaning behind the myths, and drawing them into a blending of logic and
passion, coupled with fast-paced, interesting battles and epic struggles the entire way. FFd20 does for tabletop
role-playing what FF has done for video games, creating a dynamic and robust system for pushing the meaning
of RPG Fantasy to its final limits, and breaking through. Enjoy it!

CHAPTER 1: THE BASICS
The Core Mechanic: Whenever you attempt an action that has some chance of failure, you roll a twenty-sided
die (d20). To determine if your character succeeds at a task you do this:
• Roll a d20.
• Add any relevant modifiers.
• Compare the result to a target number.
If the result equals or exceeds the target number, your character succeeds. If the result is lower than the target
number, you fail.
DICE
Dice rolls are described with expressions such as “3d4+3,” which means “roll three four-sided dice and add 3”
(resulting in a number between 6 and 15). The first number tells you how many dice to roll (adding the results
together). The number immediately after the “d” tells you the type of die to use. Any number after that indicates
a quantity that is added or subtracted from the result.
ROUNDING FRACTIONS
In general, if you wind up with a fraction, round down, even if the fraction is one-half or larger.
Exception: Certain rolls, such as damage and hit points, have a minimum of 1.
MULTIPLYING
Sometimes a rule makes you multiply a number or a die roll. As long as you’re applying a single multiplier,
multiply the number normally. When two or more multipliers apply to any abstract value (such as a modifier or
a die roll), however, combine them into a single multiple, with each extra multiple adding 1 less than its value
to the first multiple. Thus, a double (×2) and a double (×2) applied to the same number results in a triple (×3,
because 2 + 1 = 3).
When applying multipliers to real-world values (such as weight or distance), normal rules of math apply
instead. A creature whose size doubles (thus multiplying its weight by 8) and then is turned to stone (which
would multiply its weight by a factor of roughly 3) now weighs about 24 times normal, not 10 times normal.
Similarly, a blinded creature attempting to negotiate difficult terrain would count each square as 4 squares
(doubling the cost twice, for a total multiplier of ×4), rather than as 3 squares (adding 100% twice).
ABILITY SCORES
ABILITY MODIFIERS
Each ability, after changes made because of race, has a modifier ranging from –5 to +5. Table 1-1: Ability
Modifiers and Bonus MP shows the modifier for each score. It also shows bonus MP, which you’ll need to
know about if your character is a spellcaster.
The modifier is the number you apply to the die roll when your character tries to do something related to that
ability. You also use the modifier with some numbers that aren’t die rolls. A positive modifier is called a bonus,
and a negative modifier is called a penalty.
ABILITIES AND SPELLCASTERS
The ability that governs bonus MP depends on what type of spellcaster your character is: Intelligence for black
mages; Wisdom for white mages; or Charisma for bards, red mages, summoners and blue mages. In addition to
having a high ability score, a spellcaster must be of high enough class level to be able to cast spells of a given
spell level. (See the class descriptions for details.)
