So, just to resume and prevent any 'wishful interpretation': We'll use, as an example, the Lighting-bold earring (GM page 217); MD:12, 6 Ranks. Your 'Item History' guy has Rank 3 in Item History 1- The 'guy' will have to study said item at least 1 hour per day for a week, this CANNOT be 'compressed'...

1- I assure you Michael did NOT give you Purifier. 2- How many test knowledge (i.e. 'the questions) he learns depends of the number of successes he gets, but since he 'only' have Item History at Rank 3, he can only learn up to a maximum of the first 3 Ranks no matter how many successes he gets. Upon...

Great article.

However, you lost a great opportunity to make them using illusions or other kind of mimicry to hunt and call them the Ubersuper Duper.

In my opinion: - Defensive Stance is a Combat Option and therefore last for the entire round, beginning 'before' the round proper. - The knack, although being rolled immediately, (outside the 'running order for actions) still happens DURING the round. Thus, the Penalties/Bonuses related to Defensive...

Even in Earthdawn, he seemed to have been commission only for color pages; he's got Taint and Vergigorm in ...

I've noticed several books are missing for sale in the Classic Edition of Earthdawn. This is, of course, absolutely not vital since most of them (The Kratas book, Ardanyan Revenge and the Shards) are pretty much copied verbatim in 3rd edition. However, the Kratas character codex includes extended in...

Ah, uh, ouch! +16 means 5 extra success on top of the highest Social Defense of the group, that would mean, assuming someone has at least 10 in SD, a roll of 35 which, I admit is not that high. This seems to have been imported from 3rd edition were the +2 were per success level on the dreaded succes...

I could really use a clear ruling from a DEV here. We had a discussion about this in Discord but it was mostly opinions so I would like to have an answer to the following questions: When getting a second Discipline in the context of using the optional rule 'Using all talents to advance': 1- My under...
