The Realm of the Gateway series incorporates a wide range of genres, from high fantasy in the Magic Realm to science fantasy in the Science Realm, with a bit of chaos brought in from the Death Zone. These core books provide information for creating and playing a range of different character types and professions. The Advanced Character Guides introduces new options for creating beginning characters and options for creating a wide range of options for advanced characters. Book Two: Advanced Characters gives players and Game Masters new options for developing characters as they advance through play. These optional rules include new Epic Skills, granting characters new abilities not tied to a profession, and new Advanced Professions, allowing characters to develop in new and unique ways. These rules are designed to be fully modular, allowing players and Gamemasters alike to take as much or as little from the advanced professions to create a truly epic character. - from the publisher's blurb
