Fantasy Heroes Unbound brings fresh fantasy adventure to the Fifth Edition foundation – optimised for the 2024 edition (v5.5) and fully compatible with the original v5.0 2014 PHB. The entire game line provides players with new opportunities to create characters, explore a new world, and tell epic stories around the table.

And best of all, free PDF copies are included with every physical book purchase, whether it's part of your pledge tier or as an add-on.

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 and the System 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 this 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.

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

Build a hero unlike anything you have played before with 14 new Classes designed to push Fifth Edition character creation beyond its usual limits. Additionally, the official world setting expansion of Khromys adds another 8 original Classes.

Become a Biohunter, a battle-hardened warrior who combines martial training, physical enhancements, and specialised defences to track down dangerous prey. Step between worlds as an Outworlder, using dimensional abilities to mimic the powers of others, open portals, and support your allies. Or become a Soulwarden, a powerful protector who can heal wounds, manipulate minds, perceive beyond the present, and harness the mysterious connection between life and death.

Step beyond the familiar fantasy ancestries with 12 new Species that embraces the flexible character creation of Fantasy Heroes Unbound – with another 7 new Species detailed in the Khromys setting expansion.

From animal inspired Anthros and fungal Mycellans to stone-like Minera, nimble Manders, Fey-rooted Goblish, and more – each Species offers unique features and traits that can shape how your character explores, fights, and survives. With Hybrid Species options fully supported that go well beyond simple Half-Elves, you have even more freedom to create a character that feels uniquely yours.
