Overview
Welcome to the BOTSE Helper!
A community project designed to bring together terminology, iconography and rules in a centralized location for the board game The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era by Chip Theory Games.
These references are a companion to the official rulebook, which you can read in full on this site. Pages based on the rulebook show the pages their rules come from, like this:
Select a page number to preview that part of the rulebook without leaving the page you're reading. In the rulebook reader you can browse the book's contents and index, and each page lists the references here that cover it.
You can also find more resources on BOTSE Tracker, which works alongside this site: switch between the two with Rules | Tracker in the header (or at the top of the menu on a phone).
