New systems for medieval magic like folk charms, alchemy, astrology, astral charms, and theurgy. Three new religious core classes (priest, canonist, and saint) and five supporting prestige classes (crusader, templar, prelate, hermit, and mystic). The introduction of Charisms, new feats representing gifts of miraculous power granted by God. Rules for holding academic disputations, creating theories, and writing books. Non-combat core classes like scholar and artist.Overviews of the Christian Church, the political history of the time, philosophy and the arts, and medieval laws and beliefs. Suggestions for alternate campaigns, like the Abbey Campaign and the Court Campaign, and intriguing historical What ifs?. Backgrounds and stats for important people of the day, like Empress Matilda, Archbishop Anselm of Canterbury, and natural magician Adelard of Bath. The book also presents Kin of the Conqueror, a campaign setting detailing the anarchic period after the death of King William the Conqueror. From 1087 to 1154 the British Isles and northern France were convulsed by wars over his legacy. Plunge into adventure with Kin of the Conqueror, or use the rules to explore other parts of the medieval world. Either way, the Medieval Player's Manual is your starting point for a new d20 experience.
