Future core: p. 38: "The die penalty is -1d6 for a mild condition, -2d6 for a severe condition, and -3d6 for an extreme condition." Should be "The die penalty is -1d6 for a moderate condition, -2d6 for a severe condition, and -3d6 for an extreme condition", "mild" has no die penalty.

Finally got around to reading through Future Core, and I really like the final result! In particular, it seems much more concise and clear than the playtest material I've last seen somewhere around last summer. I'm not sure if I can entice my regular party into it, but I'll be definitely looking...

And that's why you never go with rolling stats, ever...

My players got flustrated midway through the maze, detected the general direction to the hideout with magic (I honestly can't remember the exact method, but it was clever enough to work) and tunneled through one of the dead ends. Bypassing half the traps on the way, of course.

The War of the Burning Sky explains that some thousands years ago, not sure if before or after Axis Seal happened, Primordial Dragon of Fire mutilated Primordial Eagle of Air, tearing out his heart, all to steal his power (in my headcanon this started the reign of dragons in Ber and elsewhere)...

In my personal headcanon, Godmind Urn is long-lost Gidim artifact, which houses a seed for Overmind-like entity (see Godmind in Danor), to simplify the control of the conquered world. Without proper control it's mostly inert, but Sidjen may have a word about that, especially if party drags Urn...

It's near the very beginning of the section, under "Paco’s Excavation" Rather than rely on traditional Water Breathing rituals, which do nothing to keep at bay aquatic predators, Paco used expensive diving bell lanterns, custom created with Bergeron’s coin. These crystal lanterns, mounted on...

I still think that 5e is kinda underdeveloped at this point. And wizards are still quadratic... On the other hand, there's a third party mod for legacy offline Character Builder for 4ed, which in many cases is better than official product, and which adds all the official content (and there's...

I'm still looking for an opportunity for Luc or Leya Jierre to talk about their long-living dream of "walking through the sky", perhaps, "skywalking"...

My players realized the pun, I did not -_-

Checked in the text, it's in the "Smuggler's night", second paragraph, citing: The Crisillyiri will hand over three crates of magic wands, and the local smugglers will pay them with a case of gold worth 10,000 gp, plus stack of bills of mark worth a total of one hundred and fifty thousand gold...

I can't load my copy right now, but from memory the money is in form of small casket of solid gold, retrieved from some shipwreck by Beshela and given to Gale, then passed to Nilasa. It's likely already in the cargo hold of local ship, perhaps loaded with irrelevant heavy-looking things to mask...

Well, of course she got the planar energy on her, she was there when the portal to Apet opened. It's not a damning evidence by itself. The question of how much exactly in control is she, or how much Sighjen's consciousness merged with her may be open, if you want for some reason turn her a...

The way it is framed, Xambria looks not as a suspect, but as a victim, who barely escaped Sidhjen in Flint. I guess, your players are not convicted? In my game, Sidhjen was very wary of constables due to party psion beeing able to sense something in Xambria consciousness. The way it actually...

I apologize for taking my time to answer all who posted, be assured that I read all the answers. I just want to restate that I was afraid mostly not of the player breaking the game, but that his supersenses will trivialize some parts of it and make it boring. I've gained many ideas how to...

Oops, my bad, it's Sorcerous Vision.

It's not a power, it's a feat, Arcane Vision. EDIT: also, what you propose basically sums up to a lot of flustration for the player, which wouldn't be there if he wasn't so good at the skill he wanted to be good at. This is exactly what I'd like to avoid

Not sure, perhaps making it a group check and decreasing difficulty a bit would help, but I haven't tested this.

In my experience, unfortunately, Prestige system kinda falls apart mid-heroic due to at least one player having enough Diplomacy bonus to overcome any and all penalties for extra favors per day and/or level of said favor. It's a neat way to track the group "importance" in addition to just their...

Sorry, didn't have time to reply to all the posts, we're having a bit of a break in our play either way. Some technical replies: Never said he would. You're forgetting +2 from familiar (actually, not a Coure Attendant yet, but another one with Arcana bonus) A bit of leeway on my side, I...
