This die roll is sometimes compared against a

difficulty level specified by the text or by the
GM, which is called a Basic Check, or against a
die roll made by
the GM on an enemy or NPC‘s behalf, which is
called an Opposed Check. Whoever rolls higher
during an Opposed Check is the winner.

Another fundamental concept of the the Log

Horizon TRPG is Fate Points (which are very
similar to Prana in Night Wizard!).
Every PC has Fate Points and can spend them
as the cost of certain skills or to produce these
other effects:

• Increase the number of dice in a single

check (before making it) by one
• Reroll all dice in a single check

Now you should decide on the cosmetic aspects of your PC, if you haven‘t
already. Make sure you‘ve decided everything listed below:

• Sex
• Level (Elder Tale level, which is unrelated to your Character Rank and has no mechanical effect on
play)
• Starting Sub-Class (Mostly cosmetic, but may be a prerequisite for some Common skills)
• Guiding Creed (basically, the reason your PC is an Adventurer; roll or pick a selection from the ta-
ble below. The tag is really the only important part, as some may interact with Common skills. The
tag is essentially an RP guide,
otherwise, and may help generate ideas for characterization.)

size and builds. Their ability stats are well
balanced, making them the most
commonly chosen race.

In Yamato, Humans are the largest influen-

tial group, and thus, they act as the repre-
sentative of Good Eight Races. They have
strong social nature, and account for the
majority of nobles. Due to their large popu-
lation, Humans are seen in many kinds of
occupations - farmer, craftsman, merchant,
etc.

Humans are relatively tolerant of other

races, often being mixing with them and
living in the same cities. However, in many
cases, this tolerance is an expression of
composure as the largest and the strongest
race.

In human societies, the vocational speciali-

zation is accelerated; many occupations ga-
ther and form an urban area. There is also
active exchange between cities. Asocial,
primitive villages are almost gone in current
Yamato. Their level of culture is fairly high.
On the other hand, Humans are conserva-
tive and organized, tending to keep out of
danger and look for safety. Humans don‘t
travel much, and therefore, they aren‘t fit
for being merchants compared to other
races. It can be said that their adventurous
spirit is scarce. There are many historical
heroes, but Human heroes are not so many.

Elf
Elves are often found in forests or ancient
ruins and are known for their longevity.
They freely mix with humans and have been
allies of the humans and dwarves in the
past. They are usually tall, fair skinned, with
long hair, and angular faces.

They excel in archery and have high

will-power stats. Their physical characteri-
stics include long, pointed ears and slim,
fairy-like build.

In the distant past the elves were jealous of

the alvs‘ magic knowledge and allied with
other races to destroy them. They fought
the demi-humans alongside everyone else
and suffered their depredation.

Among players of Elder Tale, elves and

dwarves are the second most common-
ly-chosen races after humans.

The elves were most severely affected by

the wars against alvs and demi-humans.
Due to low birth-rate, it takes time to reco-
ver their population. Elves still have smaller
population than that of humans and dwar-
ves.

Unlike dwarves and wolf-fangs, they tend

to keep distance from Human‘s groups and
big cities. For long-lived Elves, the perse-
cution of Alvs is not the long past events.
They are afraid of being persecuted like
Alvs.

Elves coexist with forests and lands instead

of developing cities since they have an
affinity for the spirits and nature. There-
fore, elven cities often have the buildings
that have utilized the unspoiled plants and
watering places.

Dwarf

Dwarf is one of the Eight Good Races that

Dwarves are humanoid beings with a

Dwarves have high levels of stamina and
magic resistance. They are often crafters
and smiths among the adventurers.

Lore-wise, they are one of the four initial

races alongside humans, elves, and alvs.
Along with humans and elves, they waged
a long and bloody war against alvs.

Half-Alv
Although the Alv race is extinct due to
the war, they historically intermarried with
humans because the last remaining Alvs
were kept as slaves, and a Half-Alv child is
sometimes born into a human family due
to the emergence of recessive genes. Half-
Alvs naturally have difficulty conceiving
children, and a child born to two Half-Alv
parents may not be Half-Alv themselves,
making them a slowly declining race.

The birth of a Half-Alv is viewed as an ill

omen by People of the Earth, and they
often face persecution from an early age. In
the rural countryside, they may be forced
to leave their villages, while in noble fami-
lies, they may be kept away from society as
a mark of shame.

However, because they are physically al-

most identical to humans, and have high
magical prowess, many Half-Alvs move to
large cities to blend in. In magical research
institutions, they may even get prestige for
their abilities.

Physically, they are almost identical to

humans. Their eyes are somewhat beadier,
but the only sure-fire way to identify one is
with the tattoo-like mark on their tongues
in the form of the Alv emblem. Because of
this, many Half-Alvs detest being asked to
show their tongues.

Half-Alvs have the sole ability to operate

the magical apparatuses left behind by the
Alvs, though that doesn‘t necessarily mean
they know how the devices work. Because
of their innate magical abilities, they are
best-suited for Healer and Mage classes.

Wolf Fang

In the history of Elder Tale, the Wolf Fang

were among the beast-men races created
in order to combat monsters in the after-
math of the first World Fraction.

They have strong physiques and thick

hair, but their overall impressions are not
so different from Humans. However, their
appearances change when they‘re in a state
of tension, like battles: wolf-ish ears and
tail appear, and their eye colors also chan-
ge. Wolf Fang can choose whether to have
their ears and tails hidden, or always on
display.

They are about 145 cm-200 cm tall, and

weighed about 50 kg-120 kg. Colorings of
their stiff hair are mostly black, grey, or red.
Skin colors are mostly yellow-white, red-
dish-brown, or brown. Eyes have the cha-
racteristic color like gold or ruby-colored.

Wolf-Fangs possess amazing vitality, physi-

cal endurance, and leg strength. When wol-
fish ears and tail appear, their power gets
stronger. This means they have the ma-
kings of excellent warriors or mercenaries.
As Adventurers, Wolf-Fangs are suited for
Warrior classes and Weapon-based classes

Fox Tail

Fox Tail is one of the Eight Good Races

players can choose from in Elder Tale. It is
notable for its skill swapping ability, which
has made it a relatively unpopular race.

Lore-wise, Fox Tails are one of the three

demi-human races created by the Northrilia
Project to fight against the evil demi-hum-
ans created by the alvs.

They are humanoid with fox ears and phan-

tom tails (the number of tails is dependent
on the character‘s level). Unlike the other
man-beast races, Wolf Fang and Felinoid,
the Fox Tail race receives a boost in magi-
cal, not physical abilities.

In lore, Fox Tails have the ability to hide

their ears and tails, making themselves look
like ordinary Humans, and is presumably an
ability of all Fox Tails in the game. Nureha
uses this to her advantage in her Overskill,
Overlay, which combines this piece of lore
with her subclass, Courtesan, to create a
„perfect disguise.“ One of Minami‘s assas-
sins in „Isaac and Iselus“ uses this ability
to disguise himself as a nobleman during
Iselus‘ birthday celebration.

Race of Ritual

The Ritians (or Race of Ritual) are one of

the Eight Good Races players can choose in
Elder Tale.

Lore-wise, Ritians were one of the artificial

races created by the Northtrilia Project to
help in the fight against the alvs. Ritians,
specifically, were created with immense
magical power to serve as a replacement
for the alvs.

It is clouded in mystery but is known for

having high magical stats and for posses-
sing large amounts of knowledge. But due
to the bizarrely low health players of this
race have, few players choose this race.

Along with Felinoids, Wolf Fangs, and Fox

Tails, the Ritians were created to com-
bat the Demi-Humans summoned by the
Ruquinjé. Specifically, the Ritians were
created to replace the Alvs, who had been
wiped out by the other four main races. The
tattoos they have on their bodies was the
product of Alven technology that has now
been lost; the tattoos have a multitude of
abilities, ranging from protection to boos-
ting attack power.

Earthling Ritians have very short lifespans

and, like the race they were designed to
replace, have a low birthrate, making them
very rare. Of course, Adventurers do not
have that issue, although there are still
relatively few of them due to their low HP
gimmick. Slowly but surely, they are beco-
ming an extinct race.

Guardian
With the highest defense stats out of the
twelve classes, the Guardian has the abili-
ty to hold back enemies and is usually the
cornerstone of the front line. One of the
main roles of the Guardian is to draw the
attention of the enemy and take the most
damage of the group. Guardians can equip
nearly all kinds of armor and weapons, but
most players choose heavy plate armor, a
shield, and a one-handed weapon (such as
a sword, axe or mace), as this configuration
best suits a Guardian‘s strengths and battle
role.

The Guardian class supports the front line

and has many skills to draw aggro. For
example, the Guardian is the only class that
has multiple skills for the shield as well as
skills that nullify damage for a set amount
of time. However, the Guardian‘s potential
to directly deal damage is not very high.
A Guardian needs high quality gear to be
useful, which is one of the class‘ main
weaknesses.

Samurai
The Samurai primarily uses Japanese equip-
ment like daiyoroi, katana and tachi. The
Samurai‘s defense is said to rival that of
the Guardian, but because of the class‘s
inability to equip shields, its overall de-
fense is considered inferior. Despite this,
the samurai‘s role can also be that of the
Tank, drawing the attention of the enemy
and taking the most damage of the group.
Samurai, like Soujiro for example, can also
duel-wield, which can increase their dama-
ge output.

The Samurai class has many so-called „Ace

Moves“ that can chain large amount of
combos in a short time with high offen-
sive and defensive abilities, but with long
cooldowns. However, once an Ace Move is
executed, the Samurai is unable to respond
quickly to attacks and may even be unable
to move.

Monk
Of the twelve classes, the Monk has the
highest HP stats but is limited to equipping
light armor and incapable of using shields.
It also has lower defense stats compared to
weapon-based classes. To compensate for
this, the class has a high evasion rate and
the greatest resistance to special attacks.
This allows the Monk to function as an eva-
sion-type tank.

In contrast to the Samurai class, most of

the skills that can be acquired by the Monk
class have very short cooldowns, allowing
them to attack continuously by using a
variety of offensive techniques. Some com-
binations give special bonuses or trigger
additional combos if performed in a prede-
termined order. Therefore, the Monk class
has the highest and most diverse offensive
ability of the three warrior classes, making
this class popular amongst solo players in
Elder Tale.

Cleric
As priests who work for the sanctuari-
es, Clerics have the highest healing skills
among the twelve classes. They are capable
of equipping plate armor, giving them the
highest defense potential out of all the
Healer classes.

The Cleric‘s healing gimmick is known as

Reactive Healing: spells are applied to an
ally beforehand, and once they take dama-
ge, the spell activates and automatically
heals them. A skilled Cleric is said to cancel
out an average of three to ten attacks with
all kinds of recovery and healing skills.

However, similar to the Enchanter class,

Clerics lack strong offensive abilities and
must join a party to be effective against
strong enemies. Most players who choo-
se this class (which specializes in helping
others) have mild personalities; Marielle‘s
boisterous enthusiasm is an exception.

Only characters of the Cleric main class may acquire skills from this list.

Druid
Pledged to nature and spirits, a Druid is a
magic-type Healer, specializing in using
Heal-over-Time spells. Out of the twelve
classes, the Druid can produce the greatest
HP-per-second recovery rate by stacking
various skills to speed up the healing pro-
cess.

Aside from healing spells, the Druid has a

fair amount of offensive and defensive ma-
gic and is considered the most well-roun-
ded of the healer classes. The Druid can
also use magic that controls the forest. As
a result, battling against enemies in the
forest will be advantageous for parties with
Druids. However, one of the Druid‘s weak-
nesses is MP consumption, making them
incapable of continuously casting spells for
long periods of time. Thus, a Druid must be
very aware and keep track of his or her MP
use.

Kannagi
The Kannagi is a spirit medium who talks to spirits and
ancient gods. Because they are able to equip Japane-
se-style clothing, males are nicknamed Shinto Priests
and females are called Miko; at level 40, Kannagi will
receive clothing to fit those titles. This role is basically
the Japanese equivalent of a Medium and it‘s similar
to Druid but on a much weaker scale. However, they
can augment other healers of a group, as well as act as
battle surveyors.

A Kannagi‘s healing style revolves around damage

interception, creating barriers around a single ally or
the party. Thus, rather than healing damage after it‘s
done, these techniques prevent damage from being
taken in the first place. A barrier placed on a target can
completely nullify a predetermined amount of damage.
However, cast times are relatively long and it requires
a lot of practice to get around. Successfully using this
technique in a fight depends on the user‘s ability to
predict the type and range of the enemy, making it
hard to master.

The class‘s weaknesses are its unique style (which takes

a lot of skill to use) and its weak heals. Compared to the
other healer classes, the Kannagi‘s healing techniques
are the weakest because they focus on damage mitiga-
tion. This makes it difficult for it to help a team make
a comeback if they are already losing a fight, but the
potential benefit of negating damage can give a team a
huge advantage in the right situation.

Assassin
Assassins are weapon masters with a wide
variety of damage skills, and specialize in felling
enemies by unleashing massive burst damage.
Of the twelve classes, the Assassin skill Assassi-
nate can deal the highest instantaneous physi-
cal damage. Their modus operandi is delivering
a quick, clean, high-damage strike to take
down enemies in a flash.

On top of lightweight daggers, one-handed

swords, and certain two-handed weapons,
Assassins can also wield ranged weapons like
throwing daggers and bows. It‘s no surprise
that, with such a wide range of weapons at
their disposal, Assassin builds have a great deal
of variation.

However, Assassins have few defensive skills

and can only equip lightweight armor such as
leather or cloth. Because they have no skills
that can reduce damage taken, Assassins can
easily be taken down if an enemy‘s attack
lands. Assassins instead focus on evading atta-
cks and melding into the shadows. This has lent
to a general impression that Assassin is a very
„active“ class.

Swashbuckler
The Swashbuckler is an offensive melee
class that focuses on weapon damage.
Unlike Assassins who inflict large burst da-
mage on a single target, Swashbucklers can
inflict area-of-effect damage and focus on
whittling down enemies with debuffs. They
excel at high-speed battles and fighting on
the move.

Swashbucklers can equip one-handed

weapons, some two-handed weapons, and
throwing weapons. While they have less
weapon variety than Assassins, their light-
ning-fast serial attacks and wide range lets
them mow down groups of enemies.

Among the Weapon Attack classes, Swas-

hbucklers have the highest HP, Defense,
and innate Evasion rate and are the most
durable as vanguard attackers. As a result,
Swashbucklers equipping small shields
can be seen serving as off-tanks in smaller
parties.

Bard
Although categorized as a Weapon Attack
class, Bards lack the offensive power of As-
sassins and Swashbucklers, and their equip-
pable weapons are limited to lightweight
one-handed weapons, musical instruments,
bows, and a select few types of two-han-
ded weapons.

Despite these limitations, Bards‘ spell-

songs are the reason why they fall under
the Weapon Attack category. Spell-songs
have a wide range of possible effects: some
deal direct damage; others inflict debuffs
such as Sleep, Slowed, and Paralyzed; yet
others enhance the party‘s abilities by
increasing action speed, attack and defen-
se specs, and rendering them immune to
debuffs. These powerful abilities are how
Bards fight—even if their personal damage
is low, a skilled Bard can amplify the party‘s
fighting ability much more effectively than
having just another damage-dealer.

Sorcerer
Among the twelve classes, Sorcerers deal the largest
magic damage and are equivalent to a magical ver-
sion of the Assassin. Most Sorcerer spells manipu-
late elements such as flame, ice, and lightning, and
target the enemy‘s weak element for even greater
damage. They also have more area-of-effect atta-
cks than the Weapon Attack classes, making them
excellent all-rounders in battle. The flashiness of
their spells, like engulfing enemies in flame with Orb
of Lava or shooting blasts of lightning with Light-
ning Nebula, makes them a fun class to play.

However, this class is not without its demerits. The

biggest problem this class faces is its MP consump-
tion rate; Sorcerers may have high innate MP, but
it‘s not very high. Carelessly tossing around skills
will make you run out of MP quickly—a lesson many
beginners learn the hard way. To conserve MP,
Sorcerers may have to hold back on spells and let
others pick up the DPS.

Furthermore, this class has low Defense and can

only equip cloth armor with low DEF values. They
have the lowest innate HP of the Magic Attack
classes and their defensive abilities are the lowest
among all the twelve classes. Because their high
damage output causes them to attract Hate quickly,
tight coordination with the party‘s Warrior classes is
critical.

Summoner
Summoners have the magic that allows them to
summon mystical beasts or spirits. There are over
100 different types of creatures that can be sum-
moned. To prevent the class from being almighty
and game-breaking, the maximum number of
summoned creatures (which will stay out until called
back) that a player can summon at any moment is
one, and the maximum number of summoned crea-
tures that can be registered is twelve.

Some high-level beasts can only be summoned

at special locations after completing their specific
quests. While the number of summoned creatures
out at any moment is one, there are limited-time
summons of which there can be infinite amounts of,
so long as the caster‘s MP allows for it.

Summoners themselves have extremely low HP and

defense stats. However, due to the wide variety
of creatures that can be summoned and the ways
these creatures can interact with other beings and
the environment, a Summoner‘s role within a party
can include offense, healing, or support. This inhe-
rent flexibility makes it an extremely popular class
among players, including solo players.

Enchanter
Among the twelve classes, the Enchanter has the hig-
hest MP stat. However, its offensive damage in terms
of both specialized spells and melee is extremely low,
making it inherently a support class. Its defensive sta-
mina is also very low, making it an unsuitable class for
solo play and the least popular class in Elder Tale. Some
players say that the class is one that exists in concept
but that they‘ve never actually encountered an Enchan-
ter in the game. Finding a high-level Enchanter such
as Shiroe is even more rare, so experienced Enchanters
have at least heard the names of other Enchanters like
themselves.

Enchanters are usually able to stay in combat for long

periods of time because their spells consume MP at
a slow rate, and they generally support other party
members, rather than engaging directly in combat
themselves.

Enchanters are an extremely versatile class that boasts a

rich repertoire of spells at their full disposal. These ran-
ge from buffs that raise the combat prowess of party
members to spells that add status effects to enemies.
Still, due to the Enchanter‘s extremely low offensive
and defensive capabilities, it is nearly impossible for an
Enchanter to finish a fight alone.

the game. They should be prepared before co-

the GM should be familiar with the Scenario.

Every player needs to bring a Character Sheet,

and ideally their own rulebook and dice as well.
The GM also needs the battle map, the Hate

player.

- Main Play -

Main Play is when the game itself takes place. It is divided into multiple phases, and these phases
are likewise divided into scenes. At the end of each phase, all PCs recover a Fate Point.
• Opening Phase: During this phase, the plot begins as the GM presents the players with a
problem or situation that will draw them into the story. Often, this phase will
only last for a single scene. Once the players understand the objective of the
scenario, the game moves on to the Middle Phase.
• Middle Phase: During this phase, the players pursue the objective that they acquired during
the Opening Phase. They should be presented with challenges, trials, and
possibly enemies to defeat. Once the GM believes they are close to accom-
plishing their goal, the Climax Phase should start.
• Climax Phase: During this phase, the players confront the final barrier between them and
their objective. Often, this is a powerful boss enemy. When (or if) they over-
come the final challenge, the game enters the Ending Phase.
• Ending Phase: The Ending Phase serves as an epilogue to the story, showing the players
what they‘ve accomplished. There are typically no further battles or challen-
ges during this phase. After the story has been wrapped up, Main Play is over
and After Play begins.

Step 1: Choose a Prefix. Prefixes can be found in
the Item List. The Recovery Bracers now have the tags:
[Accessory] [Gloves] [M3]
Take note that certain Prefixes may only apply
to certain item Tags. These must be obeyed. Since the Bracer item is Item Rank 1, and becau-

Catalysts. +1 Attack Power and +5 Recovery.

The grade of the Magic Catalyst is equivalent to

the Item Rank of the base item.
For instance, enchanting Ring Mail, a rank 1
[Heavy Armor], requires [Magic Catalyst 1]. The
number of required Magic Catalysts depends on
the Magic Grade tag, determined by the cho-
sen Prefix. For instance, applying the Hardened
Prefix to the Ring Mail would be [M2], therefore,
you would require [Magic Catalyst 1] x2.

Step 6: Pay the cost

The Construction cost is equal to the amount

you would have paid for the Magic Catalysts.
For instance, two Magic Catalyst 1‘s would cost
30G total, so the Construction cost would be
30G. A table to help determine costs can be
found at the bottom of the Magic Items sheet in
the Item List.
