One of the mandatory step to create a group pattern is to swear a oath of blood peace with the other member(s) of the group. Since such a oath requires, at least, 2 people, I'd say that no; a group pattern requires... a group.

There is many 'schools of thought' concerning Thread Items. Some GM are very generous with them, some uses them very rarely and there is anything in between. First of all, the Thread Item mechanic in Earthdawn is rather crunchy and can be hard to understand for a new comer. Personally, I find it sti...

Thanks everyone I wasn't sure if 4th edition moved it or if it was in the same spot as the Thera book showed it. Good information to have. Well, the Theran book never showed where Shosarra was beside a vague arrow pointing north. I really hated that because making that crayon map just a few inches ...

There it is: https://www.google.ca/maps/dir/Chernobyl,+Kyiv+Oblast,+Ukraine/Pertominsk,+Arkhangelsk+Oblast,+Russia,+163550/@57.3720924,27.4618978,5z/data=!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x472a8f00e898abcf:0x14bcceabdbfd5d2c!2m2!1d30.2218992!2d51.2763027!1m5!1m1!1s0x44228929d66304ab:0x81168665bdda1d5e!2m2!1d38....

1- Excellent question, I'm surprised nobody noticed that before. I guess it would mean that a PC with a torch can see up to 10 yards while a GM controlled NPC can only see up to 5 yards :-) But seriously, until the devs release an errata on the subject, I would say its up to the GM. 2- I'd say that ...

Hello As far as I know, there is no clear and definite answer to those questions but based on a paragraph I will copy at the end of the post, here's my opinion on the subject: Question 1: Things/persons/creatures that are PHYSICALLY in Astral Space appears 'fully defined' and their True Patterns are...

Indeed. We tend to see Charisma as the 'they love me!' stat but its ALSO the 'they fear me!' stat.

'Stacking' Claw Frenzy and Momentum Attack would basically allows the character to do 2 Claw Frenzy per round which would be... kinda OP. That does not make Momentum Attack a 'wasted' talent; say you are a 12th Circle Adept and have (say) Rank 12 Claw Frenzy then you can make up to 12 attacks in the...

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'...
