 Character Creation
Character creation in Breathe and Live simple.

First players must decide their 6 base stats. There are

multiple methods to finding their base stats, though they all
work equally well.

Second, players decide their fighting style. There are two

options from the get go, between using breathing
techniques as a swordsman or eating demon flesh with
demonification. This can be a very tough decision as it does
affect how battles are fought for the rest of the campaign.

Third, players add flavor text to explain their time spent

training. These details are not essential for gameplay but do
very much so help the character writing aspect.

Fourth and finally decide, using a set number of points,

whether the player can decide their extrasensory abilities,
superhuman features or max out learning all of their
breathing technique forms.

After all this is done character creation is complete.

3
 Rolling

Rolling in the Breath & Live system is similar to other

popular tabletop roleplaying games. Players use a d20 everytime

and add their skills and abilities to the appropriate rolls. The

only stark difference comes in the form of separating the base

skills and derived skills.

Base skills are the larger of the two sets of numbers, made

up of 6 base stats, which are all given modifiers players use

during rolls that equal the total of the base stat minus one. The

only bonuses supplied to these rolls with base stats are typically

given from extrasensory abilities or superhuman features.

Derived skills are, more simply, used for roleplay scenes

outside of combat. These bonuses to a players d20 rolls come

from the total of their derived skill, adding any bonuses from

clothing, equipment or otherwise noteworthy skills.

4
Determining Health, AC and Reactions

Health Points work fundamentally the same for every character,

every swordsman starts out with a base 20 health. The only time
health permanently increases is during ranking increases or
when acquiring health improvements through training.

Stamina is determined by (20 + Fortitude)

Stamina is used to perform Breathing Forms and use Total
Concentration Breathing. If a Swordsman reaches 0 Stamina they
are forced to recover for a turn and cannot attack, if the player
cannot make a recovery breathing for 2 rounds after hitting 0
they lose consciousness.

Player AC is determined by [10+ Speed]

The starting number of Reaction Points is determined by

(5 + Speed + Smarts). Reactions function as your safeguard to
instant death, using a reaction point to dodge instantly allows
your character to move a full 30ft (6 spaces) in any direction
away from an attacking demon and instantly negates all damage
incoming. Reactions do not recover without rest.

5
 Deciding Base Stats
Used as a basis for strength. Anything that requires a strong body can call for a force
check.
Force Examples include; Lifting, Throwing, Carrying, Striking with force, pressing, hitting or even
swinging.

Used as a basis for the bodies ability to be dexterous, agile and light footed.
Finesse Examples include; Long Jump, Gymnastics and feats of being acrobatic. This extends to
sword control and ability to swing properly.

Used as a basis for physical wellbeing and the ability to shrug off damage.
Fortitude Examples include; being poisoned, eating toxic material, adapting to new conditions and
being hit with extreme force.

Used as a basis raw speed and quick thinking. A very small use skill that can really shine in
the right conditions.
Speed Examples include; Dashing, feats of athleticism in quick succession or moving to one target
after another.

Used as a basis for anything that requires a silver tongue.

Social Examples include Charming, lying, interrogating, distinguishing truth from lie or even
convincing fall under this stats guide.

Used as a basis for anything intellectually challenging.

Smarts Examples include; perceiving, understanding, investigating, putting clues together, general
and medical education as well as understanding.

To decide a players base stats, there are two main methods that provide the quickest

and easiest methods for fairly attaining your beginning stats. Rolling; Players roll a

D6 and assign each roll to a base stat. Players who choose to roll can assign the

numbers after rolling 6d6 die or may choose to assign a number each time they roll

their d6 die. Assign Numbers; Assign these numbers to stats (0,1,2,3,3,5)

though players starting at higher ranks may adjust the numbers accordingly. Each

base stat is given a modifier of the each stats total minus one.

6
 Derived Stats
While not useful for combat, derived stats provide a

plethora of help to players in non-combative or hostile

situations. Players, after creating their base stats, will then

move to designate their derived stat numbers. Derived stats

given a point pool of their base stats, meaning the more

points players have in a base stat the better their derived

become. Derived stats, though not used for rolls in combat,

do provide some benefit, with basic attacks gaining a

bonuses to damage from derived stats like Raw Power and

Accuracy helping with basic slashes and gunfire.

20
 Breathing Techniques
Breathing Techniques / Forms in Breathe and Live functionally
serve as a swordsman's greatest weapon. Before you choose a
breathing style you have to be aware of how these techniques work.

Using Breathing Forms in Combat

● Breathing Techniques will automatically hit. Unless a demon

uses a reaction point to avoid it. Otherwise there is no need to
make a check against AC, breathing forms will always land.
● Breathing Techniques cost stamina. Breathing forms eat away
at a players stamina and if they arenʼt careful can cause
players to pass out or become incapacitated if they hit 0
Stamina.
● Breathing Techniques, at least in this system-- not in cannon,
actually do produce elemental effects, but this is more so for
flavor and roleplaying.

Using Breathing Forms outside of Combat

● Displacing Debris such as rubble.

● Remove Obstacles such as walls, doors, etc.
● Reach far or high places with the momentum of the move.

21
Learning Breathing Techniques

Breathing Techniques and their forms can be learned at the

start of every character. Each character can site a trainer or
practitioner of their desired breathing technique, these mentors
can even range from book guides, real people and even hashira
NPCs available in game.

Learning a new technique post character creation.

If a player chooses to use a studying slot to learn a new

technique they must find a way to learn it. Whether they find a
guide to a new technique via a book, find a teacher or listen to a
record with an audio guide, it doesnʼt matter. These new
techniques will be learned in full and come with all the new
forms, though it will take awhile to completely master it.

43
 Demonification
Demonification is only for those who can stomach the taste of demon flesh.
Starting with a required Constitution bonus, players are able to practice Repeated
Action as a means of boosting their strength to help battle. A change in
equipment offers a completely new style of gameplay.

Main Features of the Demonification Playstyle

❖ Demonification users start with both
➢ Trench Gun (2d8+Finesse)
➢ Wakizashi (1d4+Force)
❖ Demonification users now use “Repeated Action” as their scaling battle
mechanic, building strength with each and every melee attack made.
❖ Demonifications gain usage of “Demon Blood Points” in order to acquire
abnormal strength and speed.
❖ Demonification users must constantly be aware of their Demon to Human
blood ratio in order to not be overcome by demonic power and turn
inhuman.

Repeated Action is an attack roll that is used over and over that Increases with
sequential attacks. Every round Repeated Action Is used increases the base
damage by +1, this bonus also stacks with the user's Force.

Replacing Stamina increases is natural for demonification users when they rank
up, rather than receiving more stamina every rank demonification users alter
between gaining another bonus +1 to repeated action and gaining +2 to every
piece of demon flesh consumed.

Recovery Breathing is an action that can be taken during a
round that allows a player to recover (depending on rank)
1d8 per rank of Stamina. You cannot do it while using Total
Concentration Breathing.

Basic Attacks - A simple, no stamina cost attack that uses your

nichirin weapons base damage. These attacks use a base (1d20 +
Finesse) roll against an enemies AC to hit.

Total Concentration Breathing - It costs 1 stamina per round to

keep active and allows you to use technique forms. This stamina
cost must be removed at the start of every round.
Players can ignore this cost once they learn Total Concentration
Breathing Constant.

Dodging - When being targeted for an attack, a player can

forego using a reaction point and risk losing their turn for a
finesse based dodge. If the dodge succeeds the player can
move anywhere within 3 spaces and take no damage from
the attack. if they fail they must receive all damage
attempted to dodge.

Reaction Points - usage allows the player to ignore all damage

from an incoming attack and move their full walking distance in
that instant, removing a reaction point from their counter. At first
level players can use [Dodge] reaction but may learn more later
on.
Reaction Points cannot be refilled until a resting
Short Rest (4 hours): Regain ½ Reaction Points
Long Rest (8 hours): Regain All Reaction Points

Other abilities gained later may allow you to use a reaction point
to
● Attack out of Turn
● Cover an ally for damage
● Recover Stamina

Players can choose to either use 1 point, per type of react action
they have. These may alter how the react works.

character sheet. These “study slots” are actually abilities or

actions players can choose to study and add to their arsenal.

list of studiable skills and take their pick. Each skill will be tied to

a certain amount of missions numbered by difficulty level, level

being how long it will take for a player to practice, in missions,

until players are able to actually utilize their abilities.

Superior Skills
Along with these fantastic abilities, skills and additions are

notable abilities of, long ingrained in demon slaying. These

“superior” skills act more as a milestone for the players masteries

of breathing techniques and total concentration breathing. These

abilities appear on a players sheet after meeting the prerequisite

skill requirements. Players are encouraged to explain or roleplay

their training sessions for these skills and elaborate on the

struggles and trials faced during training. These also allow

 Nichirin Weapons
Nichirin Blade - Standard | 1d6 | The
standard Nichirin Blade is a long sword with
a sharp, curved blade that can be used to
deliver devastating slashes and cuts to
demons. The blade is made of a special metal
that absorbs heavy amounts of sunlight
during its formation, allowing the blade to
damage a demon's body and even kill them.
The hilt of the blade is wrapped in a
comfortable grip, with a circular guard at the
base to protect the user's hand. This is the
standard weapon used by the demon slayers.

Nichirin Blade - Wakizashi | 1d4 | The wakizashi

is a shorter version of the standard Nichirin
Blade, with a blade length of about half that of
the standard blade. It is designed for use in close
quarters combat or as a secondary weapon. The
blade is still made of the same special metal that
reacts to demon blood, and is sharp enough to
deliver lethal cuts to demons. The hilt of the
wakizashi is also wrapped in a comfortable grip,
and it comes with a circular guard at the base to
protect the user's hand.

 Nichirin Weapons (2)
Restricted to: Users of Insect Breathing
Nichirin Blade - Needlepoint | 1d4 | The Needlepoint
Nichirin Blade is a weapon of deadly precision. Its
thin blade, lavender-blue in color, features a
needle-like tip that can deliver a lethal strike. The
scabbard of the blade is specially designed to store
poison, which can be administered through the
needlepoint to deliver a potent venom to demons
during combat. It requires skill and precision to
wield this blade effectively, making it a powerful
weapon in the hands of a skilled demon slayer.
Needlepoint scabbards also contain a large amount of
the slayers chosen poison, automatically coating the
blade everytime it is sheathed.

Restricted to: Users of Stone Breathing

Nichirin Blade - Maul | 1d12 | The Maul
Nichirin Blade is a fearsome weapon,
consisting of a spiked flail and a battle
axe connected by a long chain. Its dull
gray color belies the immense power that
it holds. The maul and axe are incredibly
heavy, requiring a great deal of strength
to wield effectively. With its devastating
impact and crushing power, the Maul
Nichirin Blade is a formidable weapon in
the hands of a skilled demon slayer,
capable of dealing devastating blows to
demons in battle.

 Nichirin Weapons (3)
Restricted to: Users of Beast Breathing
Nichirin Blade - Serrated | 2d6 | The Serrated
Nichirin Blades are a formidable pair of weapons,
each consisting of a standard-sized Nichirin katanas
with a unique twist. The blades are chipped with
numerous gashes along the edge, giving them a
serrated appearance that is both menacing and
deadly. The indigo-gray color of the blades lets
others know this slayer isnʼt to be trifled with.
Notably, these blades lack a handguard, allowing for
quick and agile movements in combat, but also
requiring exceptional skill and precision to wield
effectively. In the hands of a skilled demon slayer,
the Serrated Nichirin Blades can carve through
demons with brutal efficiency.

Nichirin Blade - Whip | 1d10| The Nichirin Whip
Blade is a unique and versatile weapon in the
game, resembling a long, flexible whip-like sword.
Its distinctive pink color is eye-catching and adds a
touch of elegance to its deadly form. However,
unlike traditional swords, the Nichirin Whip Blade
must be wrapped in its sheath rather than

Restricted to: Users of Sound Breathing
Nichirin Blade - Dual Chainsword | 2d10 | The
Nichirin Dual Chainswords are a unique pair of
hulking metal. These amber colored blades of
nichirin are both several feet in length and
require immense strength not only to swing but
to spin and throw. Unlike traditional swords, the
Nichirin Dual Blades must be wrapped in cloth
rather than sheathed normally, due to its massive
stature. This allows for swift drawing of them.
These blades have extended range up to a full 5ft
from their base swings.

Restricted to: Users of Serpent Breathing

Nichirin Blade - Twisted Blade
| 1d8 | The Twisted Blade is a mesmerizing
katana with a distinctive curvy, winding
Nichirin sword, bathed in a captivating
lavender hue. Its blade swerves and strikes
with a snake-like vigor, reflecting the courage
and determination of its wielder. The sheath,
equally unconventional, mimics the fluidity of
the blade, creating a harmonious and
eye-catching set. With this remarkable blade
in hand, serpent breathers find slaying far
easier.

 Medical Attention
This small guide is how to determine the wound threshold of certain
attacks, the higher the damage the worse the wound.

Physical Wound Types

Smaller Wound - 1-7 Damage
Smaller cuts, scrapes or bruises
Laceration - 8-12 Damage
Large deep cuts, internal bleeding
Grievous Wounds - 13-20 Damage
Shattered or broken bones.
Near-Fatal Wounds - 20+ Damage
Lost limbs or Pierced organs

Starting at Grevious wounds, players stop being able to healing up to full

health. Receiving a Grievous or Near-Fatal wound removes 10% of a

players total health until they receive the medical aid of a surgeon or

doctor. There are several types of medical aid supplies available at

multiple different locations and shops, including general stores and

doctors offices. Players who receive Grievous wounds or Near-Fatal

wounds need to find a location with a doctor where they can receive

medical treatment. Once at aforementioned locations players can speak

to kakushi or regular doctors who will perform healing treatments and

even perform surgeries. When close enough to these locations players

may also reach these doctors over the radio to summon them, though

they may take time to travel to the desired location and will be without

most tools theyʼd need for more intensive care. 73

The State of the Demon Slayer Corp
Demon Slayer SPOILERS beyond this text, please be aware.

The time is 1934 and some time has passed beyond the

death of Muzan Kibutsuji. With this, the Demon Slayer

estate has taken a careful rest during this time of peace.

Though not less than 10 years after his death demons have

begun to pop up here and again for some reason. Not as

rich or influential as before, the Ubayashiki family has

once again taken up the mantle of protectors of Japan.

They called upon as many slayers as they could to return

fire against the demons and their new leader but it has

been a fruitless fight, demons hiding even more cleverly

than before. That is until your players arrive. The now

leader of the Corps Kaisho Ubayashiki, a 17 year old

prodigy, commands the frontlines. 10 Hashira stand as the

last line of defense against the hell brought on by the new

wave of demons.

 New Demon Era
Demons have long since plagued humanity and after the destruction

of Muzan Kibutsuji it was finally thought to be over. However through some

hellish means, evil prevailed. Now again demons have begun popping up to

rend hope from the arms of the living, taking a drastically different

approach than before. The leader of the demon armies is unknown to the

Demon Slayer Corps, though her 12 commanders make a great effort to

show themselves whenever Hashira decide to take on missions. These 12

commanders do reclaim the mantals of “moons” though not in any ordered

power structure. No, not this time around,instead they take prefixes with

their most identifiable feature, assumedly named by their master. These

names have traveled through ears of demons and humans alike and all 12

have been at least comfortably identified.

All of the demon commanders make up what the Corps now calls

“The Tree of Evil” with all their sects compiling the trees “roots” or

“branches”. The new mission of this generations Demon Slayer Corps is to

uproot this tree for good.
