Al-Qadim

Description

Magic carpets, ghoulish vixens, genies rising from the sand in a whirlwind of smoke and fire — such wonders, spun into tales by the fabled Scheherazade, enchanted a king for a thousand and one nights. The AL-QADIM™ campaign will enchant role-players for a thousand and one more. You are about to discover an exotic realm inspired by the tales of Sinbad, Ali Baba, and other classics from the Arabian Nights. The first in a series of products, this volume features everything DMs and players need to launch the AL-QADIM campaign: • New rules for adventure, including desert survival, turning the hand of Fate, and averting the mysterious power of the evil eye • New roles to play: bold desert raiders, swashbuckling corsairs, clandestine slayers, mystic clerics, wizards of fire, sorcerers who command the genies, and more — over 20 roles in all! • New proficiencies, from camel-riding to haggling at the bazaar • New spells and a unique realm of magic, featuring the provinces of flame, wind, sea, and sand • An introduction to Zakhara, Land of Fate, a new setting for the AL-QADIM campaign.

First Sentence
