Game of Death

[seasong]

Okay, I received two alternate core classes in e-mail, from two different people. A martial artist and a ninja.

The martial artist is, I think, from Kenneth S. Hood's Imperium stuff, and the ninja is from LOT5R. Both started out Not Balanced, and it's been a really massive headache to find a fair way to make them into proper core classes without nerfing them so much that it's unfair to the person wanting to play them. I could spend a week on either one, using a thread like this one in the House Rules forum, to really get it right. So I'm going to ban them, because in very practical terms, I can't meet the deadline with them.

Many of the individual abilities in the class would make good swaps in the rogue or monk classes, however, and if you will send me a list of what abilities, specifically, you were hoping for out of the respective classes, I will work out an appropriate swap and let you take the alternate ability set for the standard core class.

THE WEBSITE

As mentioned, it is pretty spartan. I will be using this for reference from now on. It's about 20,000 words, so it makes a nice, small, 16 page supplement .

If you see errors, please let me know.

If I'm missing something we talked about, let me know, since this will be my reference work!

Edit: Note that I have not included banned items. Given the time sink just getting the approved stuff in was turning out to be, I will have to do banned stuff some other time.

Looks cool.

Error: Draconic Might was erroneously priced on the web page. It should have been 1,200 GP. This has been corrected.

Forgot:
Dancing Charge (feat)
Two-Weapon Harmony (feat)

These have been added. Thanks!

I've mentioned this to a few people in e-mails, but I thought I might as well make it clear here:

If you sent me a "final copy" of your character sheet prior to the website going up, I did not treat it as a "final copy". Please feel free to go through the website and make sure there's nothing you want to change before telling me it's "final".

Also, I am trying to fix the Mantle of Egregious Might right now. Augh!

Mantle of Egregious Might fixed.

Oh, interesting side note: I'd originally predicted about 50-60 items coming my way for approval. What I actually received was about 80 items that were approved (some with nerfing or alteration for rules compliance), and probably about 20-30 that were banned.

We've also got quite a few pre-game rules clarifications, and a few house rules, all of which look pretty good... and I think that I've established a good enough rapport that y'all know what to expect from me when I DO make mid-game rulings (i.e., as rules strict as I can be, with an eye towards simple rules and an interesting fight when there are gray areas).

Oh well, enough rambling from me. I've got characters to pick apart. Prepare to face Great Justice!
