From Introduction: These rules enhance and replace the rule originally presented in The Foundation: A World in Black & White. You will need you 3rd Edition manuals to make the best use of these rules. Character creation uses the methods outlined in the PHB, substituting the material below in the process where appropriate. The world of "The Foundation" is one of the modern day, and thus you won't see many of the races normally seen in a fantasy game unless your DM says it's okay.
