RISE is a roleplaying game that offers exploration and challenges that allows a player to develop a character, both in personality and ability. What separates this game from other roleplaying games is the huge breadth and depth of choice that it gives to its players. RISE does not simply offer "classes," such as the wizard or rogue, but encourages the creation of a character that is as unique as the player. RISE has over 2,000 combinations of basic character choices by utilizing the FACT system. When considering the availability of Features, Acumen, Competencies, and Talents, there are over 300 trillion types of characters to be made, with even more customization available beyond this basic rule book. Since RISE is designed in a modular style, it can be played as simply or as complexly as your group wishes, allowing you and your friends to add or remove options as you see fit. So heed the call of adventure, gather your friends and seek your quest. Elude ruin and RISE as a hero!
