What it is about

Come, daemon, and see. See that your temper is mild, your power wanting, and your audacity unearned. See that all you are and could ever be wrought from the souls of men, and that man will ever stand above your kind with strength beyond your imagining. Aura & Iron is an unofficial hack for Shawn Tomkin's Ironsworn RPG designed to replicate the abilities, stories, and character archetypes found in action-oriented media, such as the superhero and battle shounen genres, whilst maintaining Ironsworn’s grounded fantasy roots. Gaze past the omnipresent dream that keeps the ignorant from the truth and see the Ironlands in new light. Learn of the awakened, the mystical warriors who reshape their souls into fantastical powers, and their condemned cousins the accursed, who sacrifice the versatility of the awakened for twisted bodies of impossible strength. Then, face off against the dreaded daemons that stalk the Ironlands and test your mettle against their iron talents. Aura & Iron includes: Brand New Lore: Uncover the secrets of animus, the spiritual energy that dwells in all living things, and daemons , powerful wraiths born of the souls of men, and their effects on the Ironlands. This new lore is designed to work with the default Ironlands setting and comes complete with new world truths New Assets: Over 50 new assets , including traditional path, companion, and combat talent assets as well as powerful origin, curse, source, and technique assets which allow you to represent a wide array of supernatural powers that use the new character track, aura Combat Additions: The introduction of the iron talent mechanic to add a mechanical edge to combat encounters whilst still sticking to Ironsworn’s narrative-first combat philosophy A New Relationship Type: The new enmity track allows you to represent negative relationships, such as those of rivals and sworn enemies, as an inversion of the traditional bond track New Epilogues: A revised version of Write Your Epilogue move, Finalise Your Destiny, creates a more in-depth look at how your character did (or didn’t) change the world, and how they live the rest of their days New and Altered Moves: New moves, such Achieve Circle Enlightenment and Gain a Nemesis, as well as changes to existing moves to compliment Aura & Iron’s new mechanics Optional Rules: A myriad of optional rules and rule adjustments to help you adjust the overall power level of your campaign so that you can these rules with a variety of power levels and in a variety of settings
