Sorry about the lag, I've had troubles getting onto the boards lately. My characters were several paragraphs of historical description, giving a brief overview of their adventuring careers and how they reached the point they did, and then a stat block. Off the top of my head I can't give you a...

Re: Anything...? I gave an iconic character for both the classes I submitted, but I was under the impression at the time that such things were absolutely mandatory for participation in this project. Though if you think about it, providing an iconic character might help with illustrating the...

Thanks! Just wanted to drop a quick note and say thanks to FFG. My shiny new Path of the Sword was just dropped off at my desk. Alas, it'll be hours before I'm home and can give it a proper read (I hear employers tend to take a dim view of devoting hours of work time looking at RPG texts). But...

I'll offer mine up to Paul. Good as the book is sure to be, I think one copy will be sufficient for me.

Re: wish me luck... Best of luck to you. May your fear be the worst of it.

Re: what did you get...? I picked up Spells & Spellcraft, Path of Magic, and the Seafarer's Handbook. Both magic tomes are quite good, though I only have a single spellcaster in my party and he's such a traditionalist that anything that's not a translation from 2E is "lame." His loss. My NPCs...

I've already gone on one such binge just recently, and it's amazing how much better you feel afterward. But now I'm afriad this new tragedy combined with all the cool stuff due out from FFG soon (and there's oh so much of it), looks like it's going to send me back for more. Well, I imagine I'll...

My bad. It seems there's no longer a release date for the Quintessential Paladin. But I swear it was at one time November. I went looking for it not long ago.

Thanks for the heads up on this book. I would have never seen it otherwise, but I've now only had it a short time, and I'm very impressed with it. I run a game that has a paladin in it, and the player has been very disappointed with the lack of material about his class available to him (it...

I had 2 also, which would explain why there were only 8 names then. Okay, I feel a little better, since I was starting to think my e-mail didn't get through for some reason. I too am anxiously awaiting Path of the Sword. I was considering breaking down and buying it until I found this thread.

Re: Maite d'Escrime... I think you might be okay with maître d'armes. It comes across as clearly French (and still keeps the elitist ring you're looking for), but armes is close enough to the English arms, that a reader is likely to infer a waepon of somekind. And let's face it, when you think...

Book? While we're just passing around information, has anyone received their copy of Path of the Sword yet? I'm still waiting on mine, and the more reviews I read about it the more I'm wondering how much longer I can hold out.

Re: Cool, but... Wow, a proposal. That sounds cool. Alas, I can't make any changes to the Forgemaster, not in good conscience anyway, as it wasn't my submission. :( I did the Warrior of the Broken Wake and the Storm.

Re: Quick take! I don't think it really matters who does it. If you like, I can make all the edits (I think we're in agreement on everything now) and re-post the doc. Or you can modify the version you have. The end result is the same, as it seems we also both have freelance deadlines coming...

Re: More Broken Wake! I don't have a problem with that. I origianlly required weapon focus: any axe, but enough feedback came saying that it was too limiting that I changed it. I think your suggestions are good and make perfect sense.

Re: MDK No, I like it as a supernatural ability. I don't think there's any reason to change it. I get that, and it makes sense, but I wonder about playability. The statistical chances you have statted out with various creatures place the overwhelming majority of them at death less than 50%...

Sever Life You know what? I have no idea why, but for some reason I read the revised Sever Life completely differently. I thought the revised power worked as such: If you score a threat, roll the critical check as normal. If you roll within the threat range on this confirmation roll, you force...

Re: Warrior of the Broken Wake comments... I don't really think so. The warrior has to give up all but one attack per round to maintain the hold, and is denied the possibility of a critical, so he loses a big potential to damage. I think it balances out. So saying a reversal becomes a disarm...

books Nope. But I think Morrus was waiting on a few addresses for a while, so he only sent them to FFG a few days ago, maybe a week by now.

Re: Nice redos! Clifford Horowitz Works for me. I'll make the appropriate changes tonght. Sorely huh? Well, we can't have that. Go right ahead and make that character up then. What if a reversal resulted in a disarm instead of a counter-grapple? I honestly didn't know I hit a variant...
