Let your imagination soar into the realm of 'Fantasy Hero'. Create exactly the character you want to play, choosing from hundreds of skills and abilities. The combat system is fast-paced and easy to use, but alive with a feeling of reality. Tactics and skill are more important than dice rolls in the struggle for life and death. Rules are included for creating any spell or item of power from your favorite story or film. Magic is now as unique and creative as you are. The Sourcebook shows you how to adapt your current world or create a new one of your very own. There's even a solo adventure so you can start playing the basic game when you open this book. Later, you can add as many optional rules as you want. This is a game that you will grow with, but never grow out of. The 'Hero System' is a series of games that work alone or together. Characters from any game can be played in all the others."
