01
What is it about?
Savage Worlds supports different campaign genres using a shared rules framework. Attributes and skills are rated with different die sizes, and leading characters have resources for influencing their luck. Official settings build on that foundation with additional character options and rules tailored to particular adventures.
02
At the table
Players roll an attribute or skill die against a target. Bennies can reroll tests or soak wounds when important situations put their characters at risk.
