So I'm working on a planetary classification system that encapsulates all the key elements needed to run a game and I have just come up to Gravity (pgs 255-256 of the playtest document). Granting that it's possible I'm reading this wrong, I seem to be producing some pretty odd results...

It's just a sonic grenade on grenade launcher called a rocket launcher with a long range. The notation on area effect needs to be cleaned up. It works for me but no one else since it's not defined anywhere and is some sort of intermixture of AE notations from other games I've played.

Easy enough, thanks!

If a PC is wearing an environmental suit what is the impact to damage? If an ice dragon uses its cold breath or a fire dragon uses its heat breath on a character wearing such a suit are they immune to it? Resistant to it? No protection? Just how 'extreme' can the temperature be? Also, does...

Morrus has indicated in a couple diff. threads over the last few months that he has lots more to do w/careers - I imagine that will include making more. You could probably help him by indicating which types of character / career combos fell short.

I'm going to disagree w/Morrus a bit here. We play w/a miniature board and grid but really the only thing that you need to be comfortable doing is ascertaining a few key elements such as: * Does a character have cover * Does a character have crossfire There are no 5-foot steps, opportunity...

If your interested, you can read the play report associated with this update here. This week's adventure included a single combat encounter and a series of non-combat encounters. The combat encounter was a mixture of a spaceship battle and a personal combat w/a boarding party. Combat We...

You can extrapolate this from the rules. With the above you can then presume a battleship such as this one would deal 400d6 damage with a cluster bomb dropped on a person or 40d6 if that bomb is dropped on a tank.

I agree that AGI is over-represtend but I'm not personally a huge fan of moving ranged attacks to INT. I know that Morrus is looking at ways to de-emphasize AGI and pump other stats. I think there's room to make more melee STR based. I go through the weapon list and almost everything is AGI...

I added cost to the template. It's the only way I know of to compare ship power levels for the purposes of balancing encounters.

I agree That is how it is setup right now. Pg. 73 of the N.E.W. play test doc - A starting character uses d6s in his dice pools. However, experienced characters use larger dice. Acharacter progresses through several tiers based on how many experience points he or...

That's correct. One rank per tier. Period. Prior to that change, you could safely ignore the Tier system and your character could still advance. If, for instance, you wanted to play a game that never diverged from d6s you could still do that and your character could advance through the ranks...

My group has been averaging around 40 XP per session so far but I expect as we get more familiar with the rule stat will increase. Right now we get through 1 or 2 encounters in a night along with the non-combat stuff we do. Couple of other thoughts - Adding a skill rank is a significant...

Bit late to the party but if your interested, here's the version I did for N.E.W. Although I haven't done it yet, the idea is to make some racial traits that allow them to get good at changing their shape. One will be something such as a glopian infiltrator that allows them over the course...

We changed all our characters over to the new 1-skill rank per tier restriction. Here is the impact it had: J5: dropped 2 ranks in Marksman but selected updated Career to gain additional AGI - net impact -1 die new attack pool 6 dice Therick dropped 1 rank in Marksman losing 1 die of...
