'''''Fantasy Craft''''' is a [[fantasy]] [[role-playing game]] based on the [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition|''Dungeons & Dragons'' 3rd edition]] rules, released under the [[Open Gaming License]]. It is based on the ''[[Spycraft]]'' 2.0 rules.

[[Character creation]] follows a pretty typical pattern. Each character has an Origin, a [[Class]], and various character [[trait]]s. The origin consists of a species, such as Human or Drake, a specialty, such as Aristocrat or Fighter, and the choice of two [[origin skills]]. Splinter races are defined by the use of Species Feats, such as Elemental Heritage denoting a special affinity with earth, water, wind, fire, or some other element, or the Hill-Born feat, which turns a standard, or mountain, [[dwarf]] into a hill dwarf.

Most traditional D&D classes are represented in some capacity as a Speciality. For instance, Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Rogue, Sorcerer, and Wizard are all presented as options, in addition to Acrobat, Adventurer, Fist, and Warden. Each specialty grants a bonus feat and a few useful abilities.

The classes cover a wide range of options. Each has a [[core ability]] available only to a character who chooses that class as their first core or expert class. The classes grant a number of abilities tied a class's particular theme. ''Fantasy Craft'' somewhat resembles [[d20 Modern]] in that the classes are not strongly tied to a specific background or vocation,but rather a specific style, role, or realm of ability. The core classes in Fantasy Craft are:

:'''Assassin:''' A Talker/Combatant who specializes in deception and death.

:'''Burglar:''' A Specialist/Combatant who excels at stealth, agility, and dirty tricks.

:'''Captain:''' A Backer/Combatant who leads by wit and courage.

:'''Courtier:''' A Talker/Backer who who is an expert at persuasion and resources.

:'''Explorer:''' A Solver who specializes in rare knowledge, treasures, and exotic travels.

:'''Keeper:''' A Specialist who excels at a particular skill.

:'''Lancer:''' A Combatant/Talker with an emphasis on mounted combat and heavy combat.

:'''Mage:''' A Wildcard who is master of arcane spells.

:'''Priest:''' A Wildcard/Backer who commands miracles and counsels and aids their teammates.

:'''Sage:''' A Backer/Wildcard who possesses great knowledge and inspiration and dabbles in many fields.

:'''Scout:''' A Combatant/Solver who uses stealth and prowess to overcome obstacles and slay creatures.

:'''Soldier:''' A Combatant who is a master of combat feats and profiencies.

In addition, the core rulebook presents several Expert classes, available at level 5:

:'''Alchemist:''' Backer, an expert in elixirs and magical transmutatons.

:'''Beastmaster:''' Specialist, a wilderness survivalist with exotic creature companions.

:'''Edgemaster:''' Combatant/Backer, expert in deadly strikes and terrifying displays of weapon skill.

:'''Paladin:''' Wildcard/Combatant, powerful warrior who draws strength from their Alignment.

:'''Rune Knight:''' Combatant, warrior who combines might at arms with arcane magic.

:'''Swashbuckler:''' Talker/Combatant, dashing fencer.

The ''Fantasy Craft'' bestiary includes a number of traditional foes as well as "rogues," or NPC opponents. ''Fantasy Craft'' uses a system that allows opponents to be quickly generated to any Threat Level relative to the PCs based on defined traits. For instance, a monster's attack ability will scale according to its Threat Level.

''Fantasy Craft'' makes use of [[Action Dice]] to influence encounters.
