    EONS #42: Variant Humans

    Very nice. Question on the Warped: their "Warped Psionics" exploit allows them to start with two psionics exploits that they don't have the Psi rating to purchase (or use). How is this handled? I understand there are other instances of PCs being allowed to acquire a universal exploit without...

    Homebrew Werewolf -- Wanted input

    Well they're certainly much bigger bonuses than I would ever give, but WOIN has the nice concept of a maximum dice pool per Grade. So these bonuses really just have the effect of making anyone who contracts the disease a 'max dice pool' fighter without having to worry about buying or increasing...

    EONS #40: Reputation, Contacts, & Credit.

    Nice addition to the rules. One thought: the Intelligence Agent/Spy gets no Rep. At first I thought this made sense, because I was thinking of Rep primarily as the ability to be recognized/known, and a spy would not want that. However, Spies should have lots of contacts and the ability to...

    N.E.W. p69 Sasha Bolotnikov is listed as having the Astrogation skill, but her careers give no access to it. Compounding this problem, the N.E.W. space travel system requires regular astrogation rolls but only three origin careers (Farmhand, Navy Brat, Service Droid) and *no* standard careers...

    [WOIN] Fantasy Careers errated version is now available

    And to be fair, I frankly don't think they should all be equally available to all PCs. Yeah it makes sense to allow all PC's to wear higher quality leather, but the ability to use high quality plate should not be equally available; that requires training. So personally, I would change the...

    [WOIN] Fantasy Careers errated version is now available

    Great! Going through it now. First question...do Orcs really get STR+2, AGI+2, INT+3? I thought the +3 was an error, and it was supposed to be errata'd to +1? Second question...p45 defensive skills: did you guys forget to add the armor skills? They aren't listed. Third question...p48-49...

    N.E.W. I took the plunge. Now What?

    For OLD, Watchman is pretty good; the "clues" exploit, liberally interpreted, should allow you to pick up on secret stuff. Trouble sense and Vigilant are also pretty good for that sort of PC, and the career comes with the Perception skill to boot. Burglar is another good choice, with exploits...

    A couple of questions

    I would say its still too powerful. The Firemage only gets the 2d6 bolt after taking a pre-req exploit. Also without any pre-req or MAG requirement, you've just rendered 8 of the ranged weapons in the basic book mostly obsolete. So it seems unfair or unbalanced to me to hand it out to any mage...

    A couple of questions

    I generally agree with Morrus, but thought I'd add a few more comments. 1. True, your spellcasters aren't going to be able to go toe-to-toe in combat with the fighter builds right out of the gate. Whether you, the GM or player consider that "as it should be" or "that kinda sux" is really up...

    [WOIN] What additional material would you like to see?

    Hey all, I thought I'd open up a thread on material you'd like to see the wonderful folk at WOIN produce (disclosure: I'm merely a lurker/fan. I have no affiliation with the designers). I'll start with some suggestions for OLD: 1. The Firemage...me likey. But it begs the question, where are the...
