This is a character I've made in other systems before, the basic goal is to make a semi versatile fairly basic fighter.

Thanks, I'll go back and adjust for Power Attack. I also realized I had Craft in his skills when he should have Wrcraft so start first, I will adjust. Next version will be Level 4.

After completing his training, Jonathon is now ready to go out into the world. His Father has gifted him with a nice sword and nice armor for his travels. Jonathon Smithson, Level 1 Fighter NG Medium Human Male, Theme: Dilettante Deity: Mithrais Faith Points: 1 Str: 16 Dex: 14 Con: 15 Int: 10...

OK I am going to do something now I've done before in other systems, I am going to build a sample character for all to see and stat him out at various levels. Jonathon Smithson, Level 0 Special. Jonathon Smithson was born the 2nd son of a prominent Blacksmith in a large town. While he...

Ok I thought of a few more questions, once again fairly random. For the fighter ability Powerful blow do you deciide to use it before or after the atatck roll? Psion as an available multiclass for Dwarves? That one seems odd, any real reason behind it? I don't think you answered it...

Ok I was just curious since CON is physical toughness which seems like it should affect Wounds directly. I guess being able to go lower in negative HP counts. May have more questions later but that's all for now. One other Praise though, I LOVE the way you do encumbrance.

Interesting take, I'm curious to learn more about the world though if I get around to running it I'll probably keep the world more D&Dish at first. So what about the other question I asked earlier. Why does CON affect Vitality and not wounds?

I figured that was the case. Do all the races have a plac ein the default setting? If so that must be one crowded world.

Does the 20 year experience period include a character from levelling up as a townie/alder? My guess would be no. If this is the case then the 20 year thing is a bit more palatable; after 20 years out in the world more exposure to the world really won't teach you anything new. Still the 20...

I agree with this one entirely and that's one of the main reasons I fell in love with the E6 concept for 3.5& Pathfinder. Radiance seem to do it WITHOUT having to limit the system at all. Now if I ever run a game of Radiance I'll definitely limit what races/classes are available but I hate...

Not sure I buy this one. I honestly think the long lived Races SHOULD be more powerful overall but fewer in number. If anythign radiance supports this mechanically because a bunch of level 5-6 Humans can match a few level 15+ Elves. Still it's a minor issue. Please do. You could even use it...

I also just wanted to let you know that while I have a lot of questions and some critiques I am genuinely interested in Radiance. It has many things that I like a lot. -Saves as defenses (one of the few things i liked about 4e) -Far more customization than I expected at first glance. I was...

Ok thinking of Townie and Alder as packages does help. It still creates a somewhat odd mix of NPCs following the same rules as PCs (5 points/level) but not following the same rules (jumping from 2nd to 6th to 13th). There's nothing inhrernetly wrong with it, it's just new and odd and will take...

I just looked over the TOWNIES section a bit and I have to say coming from a 3.5/Pathfinder background it's hard to accept that the NPCs don't play by the same rules as the PCs. It seems very odd to have TOWNIES with abilties that PCs can't get till late in their careers. I understand the idea...

I find myself looking through the Player's Guide a lot lately so hope you don't mind more questions. Got 2 Races questiosn for you. 1). Half Orcs but No Orcs? Why no Orcs? 2). Was it your intent that the Atlans be land dwelling with a strong connection to the sea? Or actual sea dwellers...

While I'd love to try radiance out a bit I don't think it'll replace Pathfinder, we're far too involved with Organized Play. Thanks for the explanantion, I understood that it was used for all Class Abilities, just wasn't sure about the Mundane. To get one of my friends to try it though I may...

It's great to see an author so willing to listen to fans. I'm still trying to convince my local group to give Radiance a try, we're firmly entrenched in Pathfinder. I'm sure we'll get around to it sometime though. One quick question: For attacks do you only uuse your prime stat when using a...

I'd love to see the version of the Believer theme that allowed it. Honestly I'm just questioning the worship one god approach that most fantasy gods take when Pantheism seems much more appropriate for a world with so many gods.

Glad to hear it's coming along. I only asked because I've been thinking about the nature of gods in RPG lately and I think a Pantheist theme (to allow pCs to worship more than one god) might be a cool idea for Radiance.

How is work going on the next book? Are you still looking for ideas/themes?
