I think most if not all of the standard origins careers could accommodate a social outcast background. I'll use OLD as my example but this could probably also apply to the other genre systems. Like so: Acolyte, Page, Wizard's Apprentice: you ran away from home to become a.... Farmer...

The bane of rpgs: try to give weapons realistic attributes, and all players will gravitate towards giving their characters the mechanically optimal. Make them equal enough that you have a whole variety of styles amongst characters, and guaranteed someone will complain about non-realism. :) I...

The shifter exploit already has two levels; perhaps one solution to your problem is to add a third level to it where you get the animal's skills too? That would still only let your shifter be the animal for 1 hr, but it would let them be the 'full animal.' I could also see adding additional...

It's not immediately useful, but remember when you gain a Grade your maximum dice pool goes up by 1 but your attributes and skills only go up a maximum of 1. Starting with a higher pool 'in the bank' means you can immediately take advantage of the higher grade. So if your group is going to run...

Another thing to remember is that in WOIN there are a lot of combat decisions that can add and subtract dice. If your core attack is 5d6, you should not assume that you're going to be rolling 5d6 for every attack. in some cases you may be rolling less in order to gain some benefit, and if...

The reason for this is that barbarian is perfect for the stats I want, but he is in no way a barbarian. So reskin it. Hey look, there's a career called Knight of Forestria! The Knights of Forestria may be a bit rough around the edges, but they are knights, defenders of the realm, and any...

Very cool app. My apologies if this wasn't covered in the 13 pages (!!) of other messages, but there doesn't seem to be any way for characters with a positive psi score to add universal psionic exploits. Will this be added in future versions?

Why not allow your players to 'take 3' instead of rolling a damage die? Or 3.5 (1D=3, 2D=7, 3D=10, 4D=14, etc...). That way they have the option of guaranteed average or rolling to try and get something better. If you want margins of success, you could give them +1 to damage for each 1, 2, or...

Elijah, Melee weapons get the same bonus (either STR dice pool *or* skill dice pool, as a flat bonus to damage). Ranged weapons get skill dice pool as a flat bonus. See first paragraph on page 58.

Congrats! I note the errata removing attribute substitution was not incorporated into p14 (though it is elsewhere). A small thing but if someone's using that page to guide them through char gen, it could be confusing. Something to note for version 1.3 :)

You may want to come up with a mutant career that has the "Spirit Animal" exploit from the Shaman career in Eons #61. It would be a good template for a "flexible power" mutant. Basically it allows you to spend 2 actions to gain one attribute or skill of your totem animal for one minute (animal...

Ah. Well yes, the system is designed that way. I believe Morrus has stated on multiple occasions that any group of reasonably built PC's should be able to wipe the floor with a similarly sized group of NPCs of the same grade. The system is designed to have a challenging group of NPCs be a grade...

Just curious, why is one of your PCs constantly shooting/stabbing at your other PCs? You HAVE been playing it per the rules, that it's only usable 'once per enemy,' right? A PC's ability to avoid Weak Point lies in the fact that once an assassin uses it against them, that assassin can never...

Defense scores are dice pool x3.5, rounded up (reference is page 56, OLD). The Squire exploit that allows you to take half your charges' damage rounds it down (OLD page 47). When you defeat an opponent of 'half grade' you get half experience, rounded down (OLD page 58). So, in conclusion...

[Me before] Hey Morrus, do you think you will be implementing similar changes to NEW and NOW? Strike that, I see you already did! As an aside, your Errata has errata. Under "Sylvan Elves" it says "Grand Elves gain..." and "Grand Elf character..." Your copy and paste is busted! :)

Not disputing anything said above, but take a look at the OLD errata. Size defense bonuses have been changed.

Wow, those are some pretty major changes! Most of the character concepts I've messed around with made heavy use of the racial attribute exchange option (though weirdly enough, not the hook exchange). I will have to go back and see if they work with the new system. The changes to size and shield...

Another possibility would be to design a few race-based careers/careers with racial prerequisite. NEW already has a few of those so it would be fully consistent with the system concept. Then you can give those careers supernatural exploits appropriate to the race. If you get EONS, also...

Quick question on whether the Pirate career (O.L.D.) attributes are an error or not. They read as: AGI +1, INT +1, LUC +1, EP +2. Clearly that last entry should be "REP." But that also adds up to 5 attribute points. Is that correct or is there an error there?

Flips, I'd suggest Deadly Strike (if your caster PC qualifies) before you pick up Evoker. Same benefit with fewer restrictions. Of course having both is deadlier than either one alone. Which brings up a question: could a mage casting an Evoke cantrip do 1d6+1 with DS and 2d6+1 with DS + Evoker?
