TIER The Enhanced Role-Playing Game 2nd Edition is a revolutionary tabletop RPG game that offers D&D style gameplay, but there are NO CLASSES! TIER uses a system of Masteries, similar to Feats but much stronger. You start at level 1 with 3 or 4 Masteries, depending on your starting race. As you gain level-ups, you select new Masteries to empower your character. There are 100+ Masteries to choose from, allowing you to make an infinite number of unique characters. These Masteries allow you to perform anything you'd expect in a D&D style game, such as melee combat, ranged attacks, bardic music, spellcasting, turning undead, stunning/blinding enemies, disabling limbs, sneak attack, power attack, and etc.
The game also features special Transformations at levels 16 and 36. Transformations significantly alter your character, providing additional statistics, powers, spells, and etc. There are about 30 different Transformations, some of which include an Alien, Half-Dragon, Half-Demon, Half-Angel, Half-Beast, Surrealist, Elementals, Undead, and etc.
Most importantly, TIER only utilizes the 1D20 die, which reduces the number of dice rolls and number-crunching. Using less dice speeds up combat and allows more time for role-playing and decision-making.
This purchase gives you everything needed to play the game, including game rules, monsters, magic items, pre-made campaigns/worlds materials, sample characters, and etc.
"If you are a fan of the D&D 3.5 style of play this book might be a 10 for you." - Roleplayers Chronicle
"I really like some of the changes the developers of this game made." - Roleplayers Chronicle
"The TIER approach really stands out as you get to higher levels of play." - Roleplayers Chronicle
"Because there are no classes the player has much more flexibility which is great, the introduction of masteries which, in my view, are a combination of class features and feats, works really well." - Roleplayers Chronicle
"This book takes the place of the three traditional core rulebooks that we have come to know, which is a good thing. This system is designed to take characters into high-level play which has the added value of cutting out the cost of some additional books." - Roleplayers Chronicle
"I love the classless system as it allowed me to make the character I wanted to make, not yet another cookie cutter (insert class here). The masteries concept is great, it really trimmed off some of the feat fat that has bugged me for years." - Roleplayers Chronicle
"Check TIER out and even if you don't completely switch over to its system, there is a lot of goodness in this product." - Roleplayers Chronicle
