Aren't all of these skill feats optional? I don't think you have to take them.

I'm reading the updates. I just usually don't have anything constructive/witty to say.

How about something that fits in "Game Reference" or "G.R."? Or is that a little too low-brow?

Thanks for the clarification. I'd also like to point out there's no mention of the life span of either ogres or orcs.

I have a hybrid race question for an OLD character, specifically a half-ogre (half-human). Humans get a +1 adjustment to two attributes of my choice, but these have to be averaged with the ogre adjustments (+3 Strength, +3 Endurance). If I average the human adjustments before choosing the two...

The descriptor example doesn't include a build.

Here are some additional thoughts. 1) Size affects Defense and Soak. Smaller creatures gain a Defense bonus. Larger creatures suffer a Defense penalty and gain an equivalent amount of Soak. 2) All characters posseses the same amount of “defensive capacity” (or DefCap), which is level-based to...

What is the better outcome? 1) There’s a specific method used to get a high Defense. A character whose concept includes being harder to hit will always use this method. A character whose concept includes being able to absorb damage will not necessarily use this method. If a character isn’t...

Is it "bad" if everyone favors Agility? Maybe this is just a clash of playstyles.

I have some ideas on this. 1) Add a new attribute for projectile attacks (i.e., bows and guns). Thrown attacks are fine as is, but projectile attacks are basically on the same level as magic. The new attribute would act like magic. This is a clunky method. 1a) Defense against projectile...

You could have campaign-based prerequisites.

My understanding is that the spells in the above PDF were created using the EoM spell lists. If these spells take 2 actions to cast, they’re equivalent to signature spells. That makes the PDF “spell paths” lists of signature spells of increasing MP cost. This is the first part of question 1...

I like the concept. I have questions. 1. If I understand this correctly, a secret provides you with a list of signature spells of increasing power. Is that correct? Do they have to increase in power (e.g., powerful ray and weak area effect or always weak ray and powerful area effect)? Can they...

How close do you want this to mirror D&D? The magical traditions are definitely reminiscent of the classic D&D design: spells + thematic features. However, I get the feeling that this gives the magical traditions twice as many abilities as the non-magical traditions (thematic features only, no...

Whoops. I forgot to check for cross-pollination of terms.
