What is Ultimate Hyper Fantastic Magical Girls Role Playing Game?

UHFMGRPG is a lightweight (ish) tabletop role playing game like Dungeons and Dragons. It's designed to be easy to
learn, fun to play, but still have a lot of meaningful choices to make as a player. Its theme is the classic anime trope of
Magical Girls! If you like flashy, exciting battle sequences with magical girls fighting monsters, this game is for you!
What will I need to play?

When I play tested this, we played online using Roll20, so I guess you don't really need anything, but if you want to play
in person, you need a standard set of playing cards, 6-sided dice (at least 10), and paper and writing utensils for
character sheets. It's nice to have things like miniatures, maps, etc., but these are not necessary to play (or can be
improvised with whatever you have lying around).
What sets UHFMGRP apart from other Tabletop RPGs?

Fun mechanics: The biggest innovation in UHFMGRPG is its card system. To use your special abilities, you need to
discard a card, but you can also use cards to empower your abilities, so there's a real dilemma on how and when to use
your cards. It's also a lot of fun to use and empower abilities since players are encouraged to shout out the name of
their abilities (just like in an anime) and when empowered, it just gets better. One of my favorites is an ability called
"Final Strike" which has the special ability of allowing all players to contribute to the empowerment of it. Nothing beats
shouting out "ULTIMATE, HYPER, EPIC, MEGA, FINAL STRIKE!!!" and dealing massive damage to an enemy!
Fun Dice: UHFMGRPG uses a dice system very similar to "Betrayal at the House on the Hill". I like how this feels better
than a lot of other dice systems since it produces pretty consistent results, there's some randomness, but not as much as
a D20 system like Dungeons and Dragons. When you roll exceptionally well, it feels really special, and when you roll
really crappy, it's still kinda fun. The only downside to this, is that it's best to play with the dice from "Betrayal at the
House on the Hill", but normal 6-sided dice can be used.
Hard, meaningful choices: There are so many good choices for character selection and ways to play each Aspect (sort of
like a class) that it becomes a challenge to determine which set of choices is the "best" and no two characters will likely
be the same. There are a lot of awesome abilities and perks to choose from and how and when to use these all matters!
No game is perfect, what's wrong with this one?

UHFMGRPG does a great job at being a Magical Girl battle simulator. Combat feels great and it plays nicely as a game.
Where it lacks most as a system is handling what happens outside of combat. There's just not a lot of applicable
mechanics for the day-to-day life of the Magical Girls. This was rarely, if ever a problem when I was GMing, I had great
players though, who like to roleplay and it all worked great even without hard defined mechanics. But, my only regret at
this point is not capturing that aspect of the trope in more solid terms.
The free playtest beta is available for a limited time. I really hope to create something that any RPG player might be
proud to have on his or her bookshelf. If I get good feedback, I plan to hire an artist, and work on making this into a real
guidebook. I don't know how all the pieces will fall into place yet, but I don't want the hard work I've put into this to be
wasted.

What’s This All About?

Ultimate Hyper Fantastic Magical Girls Role Playing Game (UHFMGRPG) was inspired
by a "magical girl" “choose your own adventure” a group of my friends scrounged from the interwebs
and the subsequent idea of having an actual RPG campaign based around the concept. I was roped into
being the game master to run the campaign, but I was unimpressed with systems that I found online.
Since we wanted to stick to the source inspiration as much as possible for the characters they had
created, I started to develop this system instead of adapting an existing one. It’s been a lot of fun
developing and playing and I hope you enjoy it as well!

Creating a Magic Girl

To create a magical girl, you must determine your stats, choose an aspect, choose your perks, and
choose your abilities. Additionally, you define your magical girl’s outward appearance such as eye color,
dress, etc. Finally, you get to craft your character’s personality and backstory. While roleplaying, it is
important to describe as much detail of your character as possible so that other players can really get a
feel for the character that you have created, who she is and what she is like. It’s OK for your character
to basically be your avatar in this world, but it’s also fun to try to inhabit a character that drastically
differs from your personality. Experiment and find out what works best for you!
The best recommendation I can give to someone who wants to roleplay their character well is to think
about as many questions as possible about your character and to write a biography which can help you
be consistent with your character, especially if she doesn’t share your personality or mannerisms. This
is also something that’s great to share with the Game Master so that she or he can incorporate these
aspects into the narrative. You could also share this bio with other players so that they can get to know
your character a little better, especially if your character shares a history with other player characters.
Magical Girls' Weapons:

A magical girl never needs to worry about bringing weapons or items into battle because her weapon
is an extension of herself. Magical girls use all forms of weapons. It’s completely up to your imagination
as to what weapon your magical girl uses. No matter what the form of the weapon, they all act
mechanically the same in this game. A sledgehammer is handled the same as a pistol in all situations
by this system, it just might look weird to swing your hammer and hit something 20 feet away… If a
weapon is separated from a magical girl, it vanishes in a flash, a puff of smoke, or some other special
effect that is consistent with her aspect, but she can create a new one instantaneously. A magical girl
cannot be disarmed.
3
Stats
Stats define a character’s traits and natural abilities. There are 5 stats to consider: power, style, smarts,
guts, and spirit. Power determines how much damage she can deal to enemies and the effectiveness
of many abilities. Style determines a magical girl’s movement speed and her effectiveness in
performing actions that require finesse rather than raw power. Smarts determines how often a magical
girl can use her abilities, how much she can empower her abilities, and the effectiveness of many
abilities. Guts determines how much damage a magical girl can withstand and her ability to resist
physical ailments. Spirit determines how well a magical girl can resist emotional or psychological
ailments, how easily she can influence others, and the effective range of her abilities.
All magical girls have a base score of 5 for each stat. When creating a magical girl, you choose 1 stat to
get a +1 starting bonus, and another to get a +2 starting bonus. You also will choose an aspect which
will affect your magical girl’s stats. Each aspect raises and lowers some stats, so consider carefully
which stats you want to apply your starting bonuses. Finally, stats increase over time as magical girls
are rewarded milestones.
It is not a requirement, but for role-playing purposes, it is generally more immersive to align the stats of
your magical girl with her personality. For example, if your magical girl is a tough, no-nonsense, business
type of girl, it would make sense for her to have a high guts score. If she is an intellectual type, she should
probably have a high smarts score. If she’s a moody or depressed girl, she should have a low spirit score.
Or conversely, if she’s a cheerleader-type, she should have a high spirit score.
Reducing a stat to zero:
The lowest possible value a stat can have is zero. This cannot occur when creating a magical girl, but
some abilities can reduce stats. The consequence of any stat being reduced to zero is debilitating to a
magical girl. No matter which stat is reduced to zero, the effect is mechanically the same, she cannot
take any actions.
Spirit: You are so depressed, you cannot even force yourself to take actions.
Power: You are so physically weak that you cannot take actions.
Style: Your joints lock up, you cannot move or take actions.
Guts: You are so physically fragile, simply taking steps breaks bones.
Smarts: You are comatose, unable to take actions.

Temporary hit: 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60
Some abilities grant temporary hit points. These are special in that when you receive damage, you lose
them first and any unused temporary hit points expire at the end of each encounter, unless the ability
used to grant the temporary hit points states otherwise. These must be tracked separately from your
normal hit points and cannot be used interchangeably. Due to the nature of these, it should never be
the case that your normal hit points are less than or equal to zero and you have temporary hit points.
Abilities that temporarily raise guts score do raise the number of hit points a magical girl has, however,
an equal number of hit points that are gained this way will be lost when the effect ends. That is to say,
raising guts score does not provide temporary hit points, but instead temporarily raises your current and
total hit points. Be careful, because this can be disastrous if you have taken damage, your hit points can
be reduced to zero once your guts score returns to its normal amount.
Natural Healing:
Magical girls are very resilient and will very quickly naturally heal any lost hit points at a rate of 1 hit
point per minute (or 1 hit point every 20 turns). While this healing is generally not enough for a magical
girl to fully recover in a single encounter, there is very often enough down-time between fights for a
magical girl to regain all her missing hit points.
Death and Dying:
The job of a magical girl is a dangerous one, indeed. If a magical girl’s hit points are ever reduced to
zero, until the end of the encounter, she falls unconscious and drops out of her magical form, becoming
a normal girl. If she receives further damage while in this condition, she dies. Most enemies will be
distracted enough by other targets that this should never happen, but some enemies are particularly
cruel and will finish off a downed magical girl.
This is the end for your magical girl and you may have no other choice but to create a new character or
gain control of an NPC depending on your GM’s discretion. Only very special circumstances may allow
a character to come back from death, such as an incredibly powerful ability, or advanced alien
technology, at most times though, neither may be available to you.

Abilities
Every magical girl has a variety of abilities at her disposal. There are a number of abilities that all magical
girls know. These are known as universal abilities. Each magical girl also knows an additional number of
non-universal abilities equal to her smarts score. When creating a magical girl, choose these abilities
from her aspect, or abilities from the non-aspect abilities. These non-universal abilities require you to use
one of your turn's actions and to discard a card of your choice from your hand when used. Universal
abilities do not require you to discard a card when used. You can also make some abilities stronger by
using additional cards to empower them. Abilities are covered in detail in the Aspect section.
Actions & Reactions:
Most abilities are labeled as an action. Action abilities can be used on your turn to do various things and
require you to expend one of your turn's actions to use.
Reactions are a special class of abilities that can be used outside your turn. Any time you are personally
threatened by an enemy attack or ability, you may use any reaction you know if you have prepared to
use a reaction in advance. Several reactions are universal abilities and are known by all magical girls.
On your turn, as an action, declare that you wish to prepare to react to enemy attacks. If you are
attacked, or affected by an enemy ability, you may use any reaction that you know. There are several
reactions that all magical girls know and several that you can choose to learn (see abilities above). If
your next turn comes and you have not used a prepared reaction, you may use introspection to draw an
extra card.
Basic Attack:
Sometimes, you don’t want to do anything too flashy or elaborate, you just want to hit something.
Probably the most basic ability that all magical girls knows is the basic attack. To complete a basic
attack, perform a power check against a target. There is no range limit for any weapon as all weapons
are just magical emanations from the magical girl wielding said weapon, but the effectiveness of the
attack decreases with distance. By default, you get -1 to your check for each square between you and
your target.
After declaring your attack, the target has a chance to use a prepared ability such as block, dodge, or
resist as a reaction (see below). Depending on the result of the enemy’s reaction (if the enemy can
react), you deal damage. You may empower your attack by playing a single card and adding a bonus to
your attack according to the empower ability table. Normally, you may only use a single card to empower
an attack. You must also shout out what kind of attack you are performing. For example, if you played
an ace, it’s an “Ultimate Basic Attack”, if you played a queen, it’s a “Mega Basic Attack”.
Sphere of Influence:
Your Sphere of Influence determines the maximum range of many of your abilities. The radius of your
Sphere of Influence is equal to your spirit score. Unless the ability states otherwise, you normally may
not use any abilities on targets outside your sphere of influence.
9
Abilities that affect a large area can go outside your sphere of influence. When an ability effects a
circular area, the center-most square of the circle must be within your sphere of influence, but the rest
of the area does not have to be. If an ability hits targets in a line or a cone, the cone may sometimes
extend beyond your Sphere of Influence.
Empowered Abilities:
Many abilities can be empowered beyond their
standard form. Empowering an ability can have one of Empowerment Table
several different effects on an ability. It may increase Card Value Modifier Bonus
the damage dealt by the ability, the size of the affected A Ultimate 7
area of the ability, or the duration of effects caused by

times when they are used, some can only be Q Mega 5
empowered once per use, and some cannot be
empowered. Each ability specifies how much and what

Table to determine the value each card gives when
empowering.
2 Dainty 2
If you do choose to empower an ability, the modifier adjective from the empowerment table is added
to the name of the ability. For example, if a magical girl chooses to use Fire Blast, and chooses to play
the queen of hearts to empower the ability, her Fire Blast becomes a Mega Fire Blast, dealing more
damage or increasing its size! If an ability is empowered multiple times, it gets the adjective from each

Aspects
A magical girl’s aspect determines the nature of her powers, and manifests as a design motif for her
clothes, weapons, etc. It probably also says something about her personality as well. There are
practically an infinite number of potential aspects, but this guide only covers the most common types.
Fire Aspect
Magical girls with the fire aspect are often very passionate but can be short-tempered or even violent in
nature. Generally, these girls are more prone to taking action rather than careful thought, rushing
headlong into battle, guns blazing. The fire aspect is rife with raw power but lacks the utility that many
other aspects offer.

Ice Aspect
Magical girls with the Ice Aspect are commonly mild-mannered, collected, and strategic, but are often
emotionally cold, prone to holding grudges, or completely lacking empathy for others. The Ice Aspect
is nearly as offensively powerful as the Fire Aspect, but also has several abilities which have defensive
capabilities.

Lightning Aspect
Magical girls with the Lightning Aspect are often erratic and unpredictable and are often highly
emotionally charged. They love to live in the moment and rarely act strategically. Sometimes
temperamental or even mean-spirited, you do not want to get on the bad side of a lightning magical
girl because you never know when she will strike to take her revenge. The Lightning Aspect strikes a
balance between the raw power, speed, and utility, but much light a flash of lighting, may not be most

Earth Aspect
Magical girls with the Earth Aspect tend to be down-to-earth and patient. These girls are usually not
ones to show off, keeping their abilities well-guarded. That said, Earth Aspect girls are generally
extremely brave, not backing down from a fight when one is necessary, and when fighting in a group,
these girls prefer to be on the front line protecting their allies. These girls are the linebackers of the
team, with great defensive capabilities and some utility and damage, but are a bit slower on their feet.
Stat Adjustment: +2 to guts, -2 to style

Wind Aspect
Magical girls with the Wind Aspect tend to be carefree and playful. These girls tend to value freedom
and adventure. Much like the wind, they rarely sit still, and are constantly in flux. These girls tend to
have a hard time focusing on a single task and can easily become frustrated or bored when faced with
challenging tasks. These girls also often are quite aloof when interacting with people they find boring.
Stat Adjustment: +2 to style, -1 to spirit and smarts
Passive Ability: The Wind at Your Back – Everywhere you go, the wind propels you forward. Each
turn, you get to take a bonus action which can only be used for movement, but only for one-half of the

Time Aspect
Magical girls with the Time Aspect are a very diverse group without much in common with each other.
Some are great team players, others are loners. Their natural affinity with time gives them a bonus to
style, but these girls are not necessarily the most powerful or hardiest.
Stat adjustment: +1 to style, -1 to power or guts
Passive Ability: Hold it! - You may use future actions as reactions rather than having to prepare
them in advance. Anytime you would have an opportunity to use a reaction, you may choose to receive
one fewer action on your next turn and instead may use a reaction as if you had prepared it in advance.
You may only do this once before your next turn.

Butterfly Aspect
Magical girls with the Butterfly Aspect often have bubbly, friendly personalities, but may in secret be
quite vain. Often, these girls are quite frail in nature and have a hard time dealing with physical hardship
but are generally quite charming. These girls are not known to be heavy hitters, but Butterfly Aspect
has a large selection of abilities with high utility to help in almost any situation. Although they may
appear quite delicate, you should be careful not to underestimate them!
Stat adjustment: +2 to spirit and -2 to guts
Passive Ability: Flutter - A magical girl with the Butterfly Aspect can choose to remain stationary
rather than falling when in the air. If she takes the Flight perk, she can move 2 extra squares when using
a movement action.

be obvious, and ultimately it is up to the GM to decide how this occurs. Some examples might be
defeating a particularly challenging boss, discovering the roots of a global conspiracy, or traveling to
another dimension and back. The rewards for reaching milestones are outlined in the table.
Situational and Obscure Rules:

Stealth and Hiding
As an action, you can attempt to hide from enemies, preventing them from targeting you, and
potentially allowing you to sneak through an area.
To hide, make a style check against the smarts or spirit check (whichever is higher) of each target that
could potentially perceive you and add any applicable modifiers from the Hide Modifier Table to each
target's check as appropriate. There may be additional modifiers depending on the situation which can
be applied by the GM's discretion. Many times, you may be practically guaranteed to hide from an
enemy (it’s dark, the enemy is facing away, you’re behind a wall, and more than 4 squares away).
Sometimes, it can be practically impossible (it’s sunny, the enemy is facing you, you’re out in the open).

Making an attack or using an ability will automatically make all nearby enemies aware of you. If you are
hidden from an enemy, they do not get to use reactions against your attacks or abilities. You get no
other bonus from attacking an unaware enemy.
Sneaking Around
If you are already hidden, you can attempt to sneak around, just be careful not to make a sound! First,
choose a square you want to sneak to. You can move up to your standard distance, but you receive a -1
penalty to your check to use hide for each square beyond one-half of your standard move distance.
Perform a check as if you were trying to hide like above from your new location with any applicable
modifiers and any penalty from moving beyond half of your standard distance.
Attacking and Destroying Inanimate Objects:

There may be times in which you need to destroy someone's property, it just comes with the job of
being a magical girl. That doesn't mean there's no consequences for doing this though, so don't go
around knocking people's walls down or anything like that…
Inanimate objects have an inanimate guts score, which determines their damage resistance from
attacks, and a certain number of hit points, which must be reduced to zero to be destroyed. Objects
that are harder to destroy have a higher inanimate guts score for instance, a 5-foot cube of ice has an
inanimate guts score of 3, a 5-foot cube of wood has an inanimate guts score of 5, a 5-foot cube of stone
has an inanimate guts score of 8, and a 5-foot cube of steel has an inanimate guts score of 12. The number
of hit points is generally determined by the size of the object you are trying to destroy. A wall will have
31
around 5 hit points, a door usually has around 3 hit points, Inanimate Hit
and a window generally has around 1 hit point. Object
Guts Score Points
You can use basic attacks or abilities to destroy objects. 5' Ice Cube 3 5
Inanimate objects can't block or dodge attacks, so you
always hit, and instead of making a guts check against 5' Wood Cube 5 5
damage, the object automatically gets damage reduction 5' Stone Cube 8 5
equal to its inanimate guts score. For example, if you decide
5' Steel Cube 12 5
you want to break down a wooden door, you make an
attack against the door and roll a power check of 7. The Standard Door 5 3
door has an inanimate guts score of 5 and 3 hit points, Steel Door 12 3
therefore you deal 2 damage to the door, severely
damaging it, but you don't quite break it! You attack it Glass Window 1 1
again, rolling a power check of 5 which means the door Steel Bars 12 3
receives no damage. You try one last attack and get a
power check of 6, enough to deal 1 last damage to the door, destroying it and clearing your way. You
would have needed to get a power check of 8 to outright destroy the door in one hit in this example.

Some abilities cause status effects which have positive or negative consequences.

Areas of Effect:
Different abilities cause affects over different areas. This section describes these in more detail.

If an ability affects an adjacent square, it means it affects one of the 8 squares surrounding the character
in question. Or, if dealing with a 3-D situation, any of the surrounding 26 cubes are considered adjacent.

33
Cone:
If an ability has a cone area of effect, it affects squares in a cone-shape in front of the character using the
ability. The cone always opens away from the character using the ability, becoming larger the further
it reaches. The cone extends at 45 degree angles from the direction which the character is facing.
Regardless of the direction the character using the ability is facing, the number of affected squares is
always equal. Most cones will look something like the cones shown below.

Square Circles?
Since distance is measured by squares and each square is considered adjacent whether it is connected by an edge
or a vertex, an ability that affects a circle effectively effects a square area with sides of lengths equal to the
diameter of the circle.

Character Creation Example

To help you understand how to create your own magical girl, I have outlined how to create the butterfly
aspect magical girl, Mox.
To start, all magical girls have a base of 5 points in each stat: power, guts, smarts, style, and spirit.
A butterfly magical girl gets +2 to spirit and -2 to guts. All magical girls also get to choose a stat to
give a +2 bonus and another to give a +1 bonus. I will choose to give Mox +2 to her style, and a +1 to
her spirit. I can also now calculate her hit points since I know that she has 3 guts since the number of
hit points for a new character will be 10 + ½ her guts score, or I can refer to the Hit Point Table.
Therefore, at Milestone 1 Mox has 5 power, 7 style, 5 smarts, 3 guts, 8 spirit, and 11 hit points.
Next, I need to choose which abilities Mox knows.
She has 5 smarts, so she can learn 5 abilities in Mox, The Butterfly Aspect
addition to the universal abilities that all magical Magical Girl
girls know. She can learn any ability in the
Power 5
butterfly aspect, or from the non -aspect abilit
ies. So, I have chosen Magic Missile, Butterfly Style 7
Swarm, Mesmerize, Iridescent Wings, and Blood Smarts 5
Nectar. Guts 3
Finally, I need to choose perks. All magical girls Spirit 8
start with 2 perks. So, I will choose Wing-a-Ling to Hit Points: 11
allow Mox to properly fly and have wings, and Magic Missile
Finesse to allow her to capitalize on her high style Butterfly Swarm
to deal some extra damage with her normal Non-Universal Abilities
Mesmerize
attacks. Known:
Iridescent Wings
And that’s it! Mox is ready to go! Now, as Mox Blood Nectar
gains milestones, she will gain additional hit Wing-a-Ling
points, stats, and perks. If her smarts score Perks:
Finesse
increases, she will also get to learn new abilities.
Passive Ability: Flutter (from Aspect)
Therefore, a magical girl is never set in stone and
fixed, she will grow and improve over time!
It’s not easy to make these choices! There are many aspects, abilities, and perks to choose from and
without knowing how all the game works, you can make unwise choices. I recommend fully reading
through the player’s guide before attempting to create a character. Work with your GM, if you make a
bad decision, see if she or he will allow you to change to what you want. Ultimately, the game should
be fun, and regretting a decision when creating your character is an easy way for the game to be less
fun than it can be.

The Role of the Game Master:
The game master (GM) is the most important person at the table. In the GM's hands lies the fate of all the player
characters (PCs). The GM acts as each and every non-player character (NPC) and is the ultimate arbiter of rules.
The GM orchestrates the challenges the players will face and controls the enemies they must defeat. But as the
cliché goes, with great power comes great responsibility. The GM is responsible for creating and managing the
world that the PCs live in, but the GM must balance and mediate the needs and desires of all players. The best
GMs find a way to make every PC’s story and NPC’s story gratifying, satisfying, or sometimes heart-breaking. If
you aspire to these heights, GMing might be for you. I have attempted to capture my strategies on how to run a
game and hopefully provided enough that you could be successful in this endeavor. Good luck and have fun!
Part 1: Introductions
Throughout every story, there are many introductions. The setting, the player characters, the non-player
characters, the enemies… Each introduction is an opportunity for something amazing to happen and a great GM
takes each of these opportunities very seriously. Introductions paint the edges of your stories and lay the
foundation your campaign is built on.

Part II: Managing Encounters
So, you've introduced your first enemy! Now it's time to start combat. Managing combat is one of the most
important roles of the GM and requires tracking several things simultaneously. There are many methods to do
this depending on how you're playing. The simplest way is to track everything by writing it all down on paper,
alternatively, you could use Excel, or another spreadsheet tracker, or if you're playing remotely, there are several
virtual table top programs with a plethora of tools at your disposal. For clarity and simplicity, I'll assume you are
using only paper and pencil for tracking, but if you can do it this way, any other tools you decide to use will be
easy.

Part III: Progression

After completing an encounter, your players are going to want to receive a reward. What benefit do they get?
UHFMGRPG doesn't have experience points, but it does have something akin to levels that other RPGs have in the
form of milestones. To me, simply fighting enemies to grind for experience has no appeal (and I can't be bothered
to figure out appropriate EXP curves and appropriate experience rewards for defeating enemies anyway). So, in
place of this, player progression is more subjective and left in the hand of you, the GM! As outlined in the Player's
Manual, milestones are rewarded periodically throughout a campaign. Since there's not any other way to reward
players, generally this should happen fairly often, probably about once every 3 to 4 sessions. If you are using my
module, it will state when you should do this, but it's really up to you as the GM to choose when to award these.
Typical times would be after a crucial arc has been completed for an NPC, or after the players have accomplished
a particularly challenging encounter.
The other type of progression you need to manage is story progression. UHFMGRPG has no mechanics for this
and is left in your hands on how you want to handle this. Friendly NPCs may give missions, or rivals may have their

Other tips:
Lately, it has become popular to record and stream pen-and-paper role playing games (often as podcasts). I
recommend listening/watching some of these to get a good idea of how to run your game, especially if this is your
first time GMing.
Tropes are common throughout all story telling devices, don’t be afraid to borrow ideas from any kind of media,
whether that be movies, video games, anime, whatever you're into.
Avoid "railroading" your players when possible. Games like this are designed to enable collaborative story making
between all players and the GM. Ensure that your players have some agency in the world, control as little of the
story as possible.
On that same topic, don't do "cutscenes", save for very special circumstances, your players should never lose
agency over their characters.

Introduction
This manual describes The Corruption, the natural enemy of Magical Girls. This is intended for Game
Master use to run enemy encounters. In this manual, you will find several different enemies to choose
from for running encounters in your game and detailed descriptions of how each enemy behaves and
its stats. Players should not see this document since it can give them an unfair advantage.
The Corruption
The corruption is a naturally occurring element of the Universe. When something comes into existence,
so too must its counterpart. With matter, antimatter. With order, entropy. With creation, annihilation.
As life flourishes and technology progresses, more Corruption is generated.
Corrupted Creatures:
Upon reaching a certain critical mass, the Corruption manifests into distinguishable forms with the sole
purpose of destruction. If left unchecked, The Corruption would destroy everything in the Universe,
returning it to a null state. It is a Magical Girl’s responsibility to fight and destroy these Corrupted
Creatures wherever it may lie. Magical Girls have a special ability to purify defeated Corruption.

Corrupted Magical Girls

When a Magical Girl turns her back on her calling, loses connection to her source of power, or has been
captured and changed directly by the Corruption, she can become a Corrupted Magical Girl. Rumors
abound that some Corrupted Creatures can turn normal humans into Corrupted Magical Girls as well.
These characters present unique challenges for Magical Girls. Should they fight her? Should they try
to reason with her? Can she even be reasoned with? Save her? Can she be saved? Does she want
to be “saved”? Or, should they join her?
Regardless of how the Corrupted Magical Girl came to be, her stats and abilities are determined in a
similar way to normal Magical Girls. Corrupted Magical Girls are more powerful than their noncorrupted
counterparts, having a base of 7 for each stat. While Corrupted
Creatures do not need to use cards to use their abilities, Corrupted Corrupted
Magical Girls do and may even empower abilities. The rules for
hand size and how many cards she starts with in an encounter is Empowerment Table

How to use Corrupted Magical Girls:

Corrupted Magical Girls are not intended to be playable characters or cannon fodder. These are
designed to be the primary rivals, unknowns, or foes. They are meant to drive the plot of your campaign
forward, not simply as a challenge that your players are meant to overcome. That said, some can hold
their own in combat even against a group of Magical Girls. Others may need help from Corrupted
Creatures to be able to last more than a few rounds. If you include them in combat, you must be
prepared that your players can kill them, which might ruin whatever story you’re shooting for!

Banshee
Often misunderstood, the banshee is not necessarily an evil being. Magical girls that find themselves
unwillingly corrupted may take this path, choosing to quarantine their corruption rather than spreading
it. These girls often try to seclude themselves in a place separated from society such as cemeteries,
sewers, or dense forests. However, they cannot help but to wail and cry, shooting dread through those
who hear her keening. Some of these girls may actually try to warn others of the presence of corruption,
but since they are corrupted, doing so often brings only doom upon to those they wish to protect.
Stat Adjustment: +2 to power, -2 to spirit

Passive Ability: Murder of crows - The banshee is surrounded by a murder of crows that follow her
around. Whenever she is attacked and receives damage, her crows counterattack, each dealing 1
damage for each point of damage dealt. A banshee has a number of crows following her equal to triple
her power score. Each crow has 2 hit points and 4 for all stats. They circle and flock around the
Banshee, spreading out in a large circle around her, but do not have a turn or actions of their own.

Cait Sidhe
Cait Sidhe (pronounced like “caught-she”) are often fickle and unpredictable. You never know for sure
if they are friend or foe until they turn on you. One would be wise to not cross the Cait Sidhe unless
prepared for the consequences. Cait Sidhe love to hear riddles play games, and to dance! Often, they
treat combat itself as a game and love to toy with their enemies. If encountering one, it is possible to
distract a Cait Sidhe from her destructive tendencies for a time, but she will get bored easily and turn
back to her favorite pastime of ripping the entrails from whoever was unfortunate to encounter her.
Stat Adjustment: +3 to power, +3 to style, -4 to smarts

Passive Ability: Always Land on Their Feet - The Cait Sidhe does not receive the cumulative penalty
from dodging multiple attacks.

Fallen Angel
Fallen Angels are the most powerful type of Corrupted Magical Girls. These girls take great pride in
themselves and are usually very headstrong. Sometimes, it is this pride that leads them to break away
from other Magical Girls and strike out on their own ultimately leading to their corruption. Other times,
they break away due to feeling of a great injustice imposed on them by their lot in life. Some of these
girls may revel in the destruction the Corruption cause, others may still attempt to fight against it,
sometimes blind to the fact that this only hastens their descent into corruption.
Stat Adjustment: +6 to power, +3 to style

Passive Ability: Blackened Wings – The Fallen Angel has black feathery wings, granting her all the
benefits of the “Flight” perk.
