Let's say, just as an example you have a human PC with 4 in INT. Say he takes the second level of mage for 2000 XP and then raises his INT costing 1200 XP for a total of 3200 XP. If he instead takes the attribute first it would cost only 1000xp plus the 2000 for the tradition after saving him...

Couple things I noticed while converting my players traditions to the new playtest doc 1) mental defense of page 61 says substitute WIL for STR, rather than for AGI. 2) the monster section still lists carry capacity as STRx20. Not sure if this is an error or intended. 3) Drain still says it...

Atom Mlatom suggested people post more races to the database, and while I'm not ready to put up my races yet I do have one tradition and six variants of a monster to share with anyone who'd like to see.Short bit of background (skip if you don't give a darn): A player of mine a few years back...

Oh, hehe. I must have misunderstood. With a name like the "Lord of Dark Places" he definitely seemed very menacing xD

...He's cool and all, but... Why is an Ice Dragon more powerful than a demonic creature that can begin the "end of the world"?

Prolly a typo. The chart equals (agility+1)*1.75, not -1.

Considering it only appears in the gladiator tradition, (I ran through the rest of them and didn't see it) I'd assume it was an error. That being said, while having the same name might be confusing for players, I see no reason you couldn't use both the skill and the combat trick. The combat...

The issue I see with that is if you want to define all the possible cases any of these skills can be used in it would take an infinite number of cases. That's why I suggested having a couple examples that work and some that don't, as a guideline. The way this system is written, in my opinion...

I love how you put reading as a dc 13 check so the average human in the average situation had to struggle to read. After I thought about it out makes sense for OLD but for some reason my brain jumped automatically to NEW xD When I first read Morrus' system I was iffy on it. There are quite a...

I apologize. You're completely correct, and that wasn't fair to you. I should have handled that discussion in a PM, rather than your thread and I'm sorry. If a Moderator or Administrator would be kind enough to hide or remove my off-topic posts I would greatly appreciate it. All that aside...

The skill can be used to benefit anything it can be reasonably rationalized to benefiting (The playtest document uses the word "relevant". Reasonably rationalized is my interpretation of that, based on the example.). For example, I realize I've been poisoned so due to my skill with meditation I...

About the only difference i noticed was illusion being replaced by weave and see, and of course the removal of the three lists with no targets that you mentioned earlier. I'll be interested to See how those work, and figure out how to weave them into my playtest. The new format does look far...

Sorry for the double post, but I just got home and did a reading of the Open Game License. I was wrong, it is share-alike, not share left, but it would still definitely be worth adding a separate entry zone for license if you support third party developers. The Open Game License only...

I'm not sure. QuickOffice (android) doesn't seem to work with them either. Might be an MS exclusive extension.

I know you can't. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get into a discussion with you about it, I simply wanted to mention it from the aspect that it might be worth putting a zone for it in the database.

That's precisely what I meant.I can't take your rules and rewrite them under a new license, nor make a version or variant of any of your content under a different license, but I may develop content compatible with your system under a license other than the OGL, so long as I do not re-license any...

I may be wrong, but it was my understanding that the open game license is Inclusive copyleft, not exclusive (similar in style to GPL). I'll have to read it through, but it was my understanding that content developed for a system under the OGL could be released on any license that A) was less...

None of this seems to be implemented yet. It was something that came up with my group too because we're thinking of moving our previous campaign to OLD temporarily for play testing. The way we resolved it was to treat languages as bonus skills. You get a number of free language skills equal to...

And keep in mind that there's nothing saying that list have to be exclusive. If a player wants to train an ability to behead humanoid enemies with his axe by exchanging a certain number of attack dice for a certain percentage to instagib them, there's nothing stopping their DM from working with...

I guess. I've been testing them with my players (each of them are using 3 first party traditions and 1 custom), I've just been keeping my results internal since we haven't come across any issues. Even if there were issues though, it's impossible to make a set of guidelines for making a new race...
