The Tabletop RPG adaptation of the Dragon Age role-playing video game series, designed by Chris Pramas and published by Green Ronin in 2009. The players take on the roles of the warriors, rogues, and mages in a darkly Heroic Fantasy world of Thedas. The game was originally published in three sets, for character levels 1-5, 6-10, and 11-20, respectively, before a Core Rulebook was released in August 2015.The game's core mechanic, similar to that of the d20 System, is to roll a GURPS-like 3d6 (three six-sided dice), add the ability score and skill modifiers, and compare the result to the target difficulty score. One unique aspect of dice-rolling in DA is the so-called "dragon die"—a die that is colored differently from the other two. When doubles turn up on a roll, the dragon die's value determines the number of "stunt points" that the player can use to enhance their action on that roll, such as combat maneuvers or extra spell effects. Its value can also determine the degree of success on certain rolls, including acting as a tiebreaker.TableTop featured a game GMed by Chris Pramas himself for its season one finale. | |

Blood Magic | |
| Dragon Age (Tabletop Game) / int_270c1778 | comment |
Blood Magic: A mage who wishes to learn The Dark Arts can take the blood mage specialization, which grants them access to an array of gruesome spells that are Cast from Hit Points. As they level up, they can eventually cast their spells from the blood of willing allies or even from enemies. As blood magic involves continually losing health in order to cast its spells, taking the specialization outright requires a high Constitution score. | |

Big Badass Battle Sequence: Set 3 adds in a rule set for Mass Battles, each taking three parts and with "crisis points" when near success or failure.

Skill Scores and Perks | |
| Dragon Age (Tabletop Game) / int_3b6a5d9b | comment |
Skill Scores and Perks: Focuses and Talents vaguely correspond to Skills and Perks, respectively. Focuses represent a particular expertise in a narrower subset of certain Attribute checks (e.g. "Perception: Seeing") and give a flat +2 bonus to rolls where they apply. Talents have three levels, each of which gives the character a unique gameplay advantage. New Focuses can be learned at every new level (alternating between primary and secondary class Attributes), while Talents can be acquired or upgraded every other level. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Dragon Age (Tabletop Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Since the module (as part of Set 1) had been written concurrently with Origins and published just a couple months after its release, some weirdness is to be expected. For instance, "darkspawn" seems to refer to any monster of demonic origin, rather than to the creatures of the Taint; likewise, the blight wolves are a normal occurrence rather than a portent of the coming Blight; non-mages serve as Dalish Keepers and Firsts; and Chantry priestesses walk around with crucifixes (though this last one was fixed in the online PDF re-release). | |

Non-Combat EXP | |
| Dragon Age (Tabletop Game) / int_5432a8a1 | comment |
Non-Combat EXP: The game outright states that any spending of resources into an encounter should be compensated with EXP, whether or not combat is involved. These resources can include health and mana, time (both in-game and real-life session time), money, political favors, etc. in order to make roleplaying and exploration encounters worth the effort. The game even goes as far as including entirely different stunt systems for social encounters and traversing the wilderness in order to keep gameplay engaging. | |

Back Stab | |

Back Stab: The rogue's special move works by running up to an enemy and attacking in the same turn for an attack and damage bonus (it only works with melee weapons). At level 4, they can backstab an enemy they start their turn next to by bluffing, attempting to deceive the enemy into a fake-out attack instead of sneaking up on them. | |

Combat Medic | |
| Dragon Age (Tabletop Game) / int_5fff364d | comment |
Combat Medic: Since the mages combine the healer and the nuker roles, they can become this. Healing wounds with bandages is also an option for non-mages with decent Cunning. With enough investment in the Chirurgy talent, a warrior or rogue can heal just as much as (if not more than) a healing spell using bandages and other medical supplies, though more advanced healing techniques such as area-of-effect healing and regeneration can only be done with magic. | |

Armor and Magic Don't Mix | |
| Dragon Age (Tabletop Game) / int_6243b83b | comment |
Armor and Magic Don't Mix: While there's no rule that says mages can't equip armor, in addition to taking the usual penalties from being untrained in its use, armor also bumps up the mana costs of all spells, with heavier armors requiring more mana to be burned per spell. Averted if taking the arcane warrior specialization, which grants the mage armor training normally exclusive to warriors and allows them to ignore extra mana costs for wearing armor up to a certain amount, in addition to being able to wield certain melee weapons. | |

| Dragon Age (Tabletop Game) / int_8aaa6f4f | comment |
Character Customization: The players can select gender, class, name, background, and starting items of their character. The rest (attribute scores and skills) is randomized, though later additions have allowed a Point Build System. A large portion of character customization also comes from taking various skill focuses and talent upgrades that mold your character into a unique individual. No two characters of the same class and level function the same in game due to the wide array of abilities they can develop and improve. | |

Demonic Possession | |
| Dragon Age (Tabletop Game) / int_906365a2 | comment |
Demonic Possession: Being possessed by a demon is a risk all mages face when they blow their casting checks (but only when they use spells with prerequisites—the most basic ones taught to apprentices are safe from misfiring). If the mage in question fails all of the successive skill checks that come from such a failure, they turn into a horrific monster known as an abomination. They then have to turn in their character sheet to the GM and roll a new character. In addition, the rest of the party now has to fight this abomination, which has all of the spells and abilities of the mage it once was. | |

Multiple-Choice Past | |
| Dragon Age (Tabletop Game) / int_a426ae28 | comment |
Multiple-Choice Past: Like in Origins, the players select one of several pre-generated backgrounds for their characters, which affects their starting stats, skill focuses, and class options. Along with several familiar backgrounds from the video games, other backgrounds from the box sets include: In Set 1, you can be a Dalish or a city elf, a dwarf commoner, a Circle or Apostate mage (elf or human), an Avvar, and a Fereldan freeman (the latter two were actually planned as playable origins for humans in DAO but were cut before the release). Set 2 adds High-born/Low-born Dwarf, Orlesian exile, and Fereldan Craftsman. It also suggests more variety in the mage backgrounds through customizing the geographical origins of Apostates and Circle Mages. Set 3 adds Orlesian Noble, Escaped Elven Slave and Tevinter Altus (noble mage). The Faces of Thedas sourcebook adds Ben-Hassrath, Dalish Mage, and Incarnated Spirit to the list of backgrounds, making a combined total of thirty-three backgrounds across all of the game's materials. | |

Prestige Class | |
| Dragon Age (Tabletop Game) / int_a7bb930 | comment |
Prestige Class: At level 6, characters can choose one of seven specializations available for their class. These specializations are special talent trees that have tighter restrictions on who can take them, and they provide huge bonuses that heavily lean towards a particular playstyle. For example, the marksman specialization is exclusive to rogues who are at least a journeyman in the archery talent, and grants special attacks and heavy bonuses when wielding a bow, while the templar specialization is exclusive to warriors who possess high Magic (normally a Dump Stat for non-mages) and grants them the ability to nullify ongoing magic and attack a mage's mana directly. At level 14, players can choose a second specialization to further add to their arsenal of special abilities. | |

Armor-Piercing Attack | |
| Dragon Age (Tabletop Game) / int_afc8ddc7 | comment |
Armor-Piercing Attack: Using the Pierce Armor stunt in combat allows you to halve an enemy's armor rating when calculating damage for the attack. In addition, some spells and abilities deal penetrating damage, which completely ignores armor, making mages very effective in dealing with enemies wearing pesky plate mail. | |

Special Attack | |
| Dragon Age (Tabletop Game) / int_b1d7169c | comment |
Special Attack: If an attack roll (typically 3d6) produces a double (two dice with the same number), you can perform a "Stunt" of your choosing against the targeted enemy instead of a basic attack. Stunts can entail dealing extra damage, gaining an extra attack, disarming an opponent, etc. This also applies to skill tests in both social and exploration encounters, with the game including separate stunt charts for each type of encounter, meaning you can mechanically change an encounter by slipping subtle flirting into a negotiation or mentally preparing yourself for combat as you open a door. | |

One Stat to Rule Them All | |
| Dragon Age (Tabletop Game) / int_b798d379 | comment |
One Stat to Rule Them All: The Magic ability is the one stat that determines a mage's proficiency with magic. It determines accuracy and damage with all basic ranged attacks, mana reserves, success on casting rolls, damage dealt by most spells, and it also influences how hard it is for enemies to resist those spells. Largely averted for warriors and rogues, however. | |

Path of Most Resistance | |
| Dragon Age (Tabletop Game) / int_c04f297d | comment |
Path of Most Resistance: The GM's manual suggests rewarding players with Experience Points based on how much trouble they had overcoming each challenge—in other words, the harder the path they choose, the more XP they get. | |

In Set 1, you can be a Dalish or a city elf, a dwarf commoner, a Circle or Apostate mage (elf or human), an Avvar, and a Fereldan freeman (the latter two were actually planned as playable origins for humans in DAO but were cut before the release). | |
