Palladium Fantasy Role-Playing Game

The Palladium Fantasy Role-Playing Game is a fantasy role-playing game published by Palladium Books in 1983.

This game is set in the "Palladium world" 10,000 years after a great war between the elves and dwarves. Some critics noted that this game, created only a few years after Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, has many similarities.

Similar to AD&D, players can choose from one of several races for their player character, including human, elf, gnome, and dwarf. Unlike AD&D, there are several other races players can also choose including troglodyte, kobold, goblin, orc, changeling, troll, and wolfen (a hybrid human/wolf race).

Players then can choose from character classes that are roughly analogous to those in AD&D: Warrior, wizard, cleric, thief, etc. Similarly, alignment, hit points and experience points all work in much the same way as in AD&D.

Character classes determine which skills are available to the character, and grant access to abilities like spellcasting. Characters can leave one class to pursue another.

There are several different kinds of magic as well as psychic powers. Magic is powered by Potential Psychic Energy (P.P.E.), while psychic powers are fueled by Inner Strength Points (I.S.P.).

The book delves into the long history of the Palladium world, which is divided into several ages.

The game is set on a single continent and several nearby islands. The climate varies from tropical in the south to subarctic in the north.
