Arcane Exercise Volume 1: Ability Score Improvement

 Ability Score Improvement is the first in a series of expansions for the exercise ruleset presented in the Arcane Exercise Core Rulebook. It uses the classic tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) mechanic of ability scores to organize and progress fitness training. Users can choose Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution to guide their exercise journey.

What is Arcane Exercise?

Arcane Exercise is a system and tool agnostic lens that uses game design theory to simplify the process of understanding exercise-based movement. It uses common TTRPG vernacular, game mechanics, and an old school fantasy aesthetic.

What’s in Arcane Exercise Volume 1: Ability Score Improvement?

  • An expansion of the ideas first presented in the Arcane Exercise Core Rulebook
  • Information on the three ability scores (Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution) and how to use them to steer training.
  • A guide on how to build an exercise program using Ability Score Improvement

Expansions and Supplements

The Arcane Exercise series is intended to be a simple, accessible way to interact with exercise and movement. I hope to release future expansions on the idea with drills, games, tool-specific iterations, and more. It is also intended to be a collaborative project, so different interpretations of the idea are welcome.
