An Introduction To Savage Suzerain

     The Suzerain experience is one that values grand, heroic scope over the slim-and-trim ideals of the Savage Worlds core system. No longer are heroes constrained to being merely Legendary. Instead they are able to access a wider stage where their very words will shake the heavens. In comic book terms, this is cosmic-level stuff. The fantasists would have you believe that it is epic, while classicists would prefer the term 'mythic.' Either way, your characters won't be spending a lot of time fighting rats and bugs in the sewers.

     This is represented mechanically with a wealth of new options, both for building characters and interacting with their surroundings. Everybody who's anybody has access to minor special powers, which are fueled by natural wellsprings of bioelectric energy - Pulse. This invigorating life-force is the stuff of spirits: the human soul, specters without a physical form, and gods alike. These spirit forms aren't a natural part of any of the Suzerain realms, but they have ready access to them through the spirit world.

     The spirit world is a moonlit reflection of the solid world, where every action is suffused with pale light and symbolic gravity. The terrain surrounding spirits of pure emotion often warp and pool to reflect their inner states. Those rare sages and street-corner madmen who tell stories of such places of pure energy often tease their audiences further with the promise of a layer of reality even deeper than the spirit world - one where even Pulse breaks down and is reformed into the transcendental residences of the gods.

     Suzerain uses rules from Savage Worlds: Explorer's Edition, but adds a few twists; it is best if you are already familiar with those rules before reading further.
