NEW UPDATE!! This release includes two new classes unique to both Pathfinder and 4E. For Pathfinder there's a re-worked, re-balanced and more group friendly Factotum, and 4E has a weird Mimic class. Both of which are still in the planning phases and haven't been extensively playtested, but any...

PDF version 0-2 is up on Dropbox! Included in this version is all of the chapters from before, as well as Pathfinder class rules, 4E class rules, Mutation, Special Rules (traits, backgrounds, ougis), sample campaigns and an extras canon section. The lore section has been changed with an added...

fireinthedust: A lot of your problems have already been solved with the revisions to the older chapters that I'm working on, and I've taken into account many of the suggestions people have given me about the setting. For example, I do like the idea of having many languages, and at the time...

- Elves live in forests or cities. They also live forever which makes no sense as they are usually the rarest and most mysterious of the races. - Dwarves live underground, drink ale and are Scottish. - Orcs are green and angry. - Gnomes are short and good with magic. Usually annoying too. -...

I'm changing that to roughly describing how large or small things should be instead of giving basic numbers. The reasoning for that is based on the fact that it never made sense to me that half-orcs are playable but orcs are monster-as-PC. Because of that it makes a lot of half-orcs that are...

The Earth is about 24,000 miles wide, not 8,000. You are right about one thing, and that's that I've been measuring based on square miles and not linearly. As for the languages it says nothing about the languages being the exact same. The English you and I are speaking in now is very different...

There's a whole section on Mutation since it's a pretty big topic, so don't worry about that. And yes, I will be self-publishing, at least for now. I do have a few friends in the industry who may help, but at the moment I'm planning on releasing the PDF for free myself. Should there be enough...

I'm about halfway through the book (so art and layout are far from final), but I wanted people to take a look and told me what they thought so far. The setting actually contains rules for use in Pathfinder and 4E, and this sample PDF has chapters up to the chapter on races (classes, special...

Thanks for all the input! I always worry that if I don't try to be funny or interesting people won't read. I've gotten rid of a lot of the extra stuff and tried to make things tighter and to the point.

It's the future. The Galactic Accord sent a 10,000,000 km probe to Earth which released mutagenic clouds that scoured the Earth's surface changing almost everything it touches as setting humanity back several thousand years. This is a test administered by a coalition of aliens in the Milky Way...

But that doesn't make any sense, because then you gain, effectively, double-hitpoints. You could just dump everything into the eidolon's con mod and become a beat (not that you couldn't already.) Plus the counter of having the eidolon get to 1HP, then you get low, then the eidolon get's...

Yeah, you shouldn't compare it to the barbarian because while the mechanics are similar looking they function differently. This is almost a RAW/RAI problem (I say almost because you're taking the ruling for changing the ability scores of a character and applying it in this situation (when the...

Right, but if the eidolon is dismissed via damage (you run out of temporary hp), that doesn't mean that you switch constitution scores, gain HP, and then come back alive and re-summon your eidolon. Furthermore the only way in which that would happen would be if you reached 0 HP or lower and...

The problem with that is that the new constitution score doesn't "add", it switches. The reason you use the eidolon's con score is because the eidolon is taking damage in your place. You may elect to take damage in place of the eidolon, but you do not gain to your constitution score, only choose...

marcielle: We don't have any Clerics or healers (well, we have an alchemist but she spends most of her time blowing up rooms.) I picked up a wand of CLW for quick and dirty healing between battles. But, how does the example in your first paragraph work? Does the Eidolon take away any of my Con...
