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...

There is a knack that allow this, it's called: Being a Great Dragon

Passion worshiping, even for questors, if a far way from our organized religions. Furthermore, I don't remember reading anything considering beliefs in a 'Passion-proprietary afterlife'. People knows there must be something after death because, well... spirits and stuff, but from what I understand, ...

Since the Research talent in the Player's Guide did not state how long it took per attempt, I had always assumed it was, like so many things, 8 hours but could never be sure since there was no clear rules. However, I've just noticed that the Research Knack 'Librarian' in Mystic Patch seems to confir...

When wondering unclear things like that, I often assume something got lost/broken/attempted to fix between editions so I go see the previous ones. 4th, 3rd and Classic edition have the same 'knowledge of nethermency' thing HOWEVER, 1st and 2nd says that NETHERMANCERS (only) are not affected by that ...
