Welcome to Fantasy Heroes Unbound — a new, extensive core rules set that builds upon and unleashes the potential of the Fifth Edition rules of the world’s most popular fantasy RPG (both the 2024 and 2014 editions).

Offering near-limitless character options, Fantasy Heroes Unbound harnesses player creativity and advanced DM tools to enhance your role-playing experience. These stand-alone rules bring a balanced, point-based framework to the standard Fifth Edition foundation. With 14 new Classes, fully deconstructed PHB Classes, 12 new Species, and a diverse array of features, abilities, system mechanics, and combat options, Fantasy Heroes Unbound reveals the proverbial magic behind the curtain of traditional fantasy RPG design.

It’s time to reimagine and take control of the Fifth Edition RPG system to make it your own. Welcome to the beginning of your next great fantasy role-playing adventure!

The word “Unbound” in the game’s title isn’t simply a fanciful description – it’s a signal to players concerning what Fantasy Heroes Unbound is about, and it carries multiple meanings.

Creativity is unbound. Players aren’t constrained with a limited number of options that may be incompatible with how they perceive their character’s identity, power set, and adventuring goals. The vast choices in the core rulebook give players near-infinite character creation flexibility.

The world is unbound. Although the game primarily plays within the fantasy genre, players can decide the type of setting in which they want to adventure – whether it’s high fantasy, grimdark fantasy, romantic fantasy, or even urban fantasy and science fantasy in a modern setting.

The system is unbound. While design decisions for the traditional Fifth Edition PHB are notably guided by the concept of “bounded accuracy”, Fantasy Heroes Unbound gives gamers multiple toolkit modules to move beyond those constraints to create the role-playing experience they desire. Sections in the core rulebook detail Class design, spell creation, monster builds, feature customisation, and much more.

Fantasy Heroes Unbound offers gaming groups exactly what they need to bring the Fifth Edition game mechanics and their role-playing vision together.
