Message: <blockquote data-quote="Water Bob" data-source="post: 6617676" data-attributes="member: 92305">--  REPUTATION  --People often ask me the differences in the Atlantean edition of the rules and the Second Edition.  I usually point them to two main areas:  The rule change in Second Edition that makes a Grapple Check easier (it's just one check instead of the standard d20 3.5 two checks to touch and then grapple), and the greater emphasis that Second Edition has on low level game play (besides the examples of Humans in the Beastiary, Second Edition includes a short section that defines what a "level" means).Now, I've found a section of the rules that was actually truncated in the Second Edition--the rules for Reputation.  The Atlantean Edition includes a large chart of Repuation Modifiers that is missing from Second Edition, but AE also includes a different table (than is in 2E) to show the effects of Travel and Distance on Reputation.Also, AE goes into some detail defining the Nature of Reputation where as Second Edition condenses this into a single paragraph and largely leaves the definition up to the GM.Some will see the 2E version as a more rules-lite and easier-to-use version of the same rules.  Others will want the detail missing in 2E that is included in AE.I'm just reporting the differences here.</blockquote>
