Re: Wyvern: Animal?
Hello, For what it's worth, the intent was that yes, wyverns are in fact adolescent dragons. I would probably treat them as magical animals, but would leave it up to the GM to decide for their own game. An interesting possibility is that for all intents and purposes during their wyvern phase, they a...

Re: Step dice - d8 system
Interesting. When Greg Gorden (the original designer of the Step System) submitted his final draft of the ED core rulebook, he had worked out an alternative dice progression that was based on the D8. I don't recall his exact reasoning at the time, nor the dice progression, but in the end we went wit...

Re: Pattern Items

If you know something about this subject, it would be much appreciated if you would elaborate. Thanks in advance! I can try to answer ...

Re: Companion Enchanting
It means exactly what it says. If you want to create enchanted boots, you need to be able to make the boots in addition to having the Alchemy skill (or appropriate knack). You can't enchant your coat for the same reason your plain wool coat can't be a polar fleece. That's not what it is and it can ...

Re: Brainstorming a campaign concept
Hello, I think the Theran Empire book is an ideal fit for this campaign. Given the unrest in Barsaive, your PCs could venture to other parts of the Theran Empire to troubleshoot other potential uprisings. I think the Therans consider Barsaive a lost cause in the short term, and would instead focus t...

Re: Vampires
Hello, From what I can recall about stuff Lou Prosperi (the ED1 line developer) said, one of the concerns with vampires arose from the power and significance of blood magic in the Earthdawn setting. When you're dealing with a creature that feeds on blood, that needs to be considered. In some of the ...

Re: Earthdawn Social Media
A nice message from FASA's president Ross Babcock about the 25th anniversary of Earthdawn :) http://fasagames.com/earthdawn/pinannouncement/ One minor nitpick: FASA Corporation stopped production of Earthdawn in 199 8 , not 1996. Thanks! Lou Prosperi Earthdawn Product Line Developer FASA Corporatio...

Re: Adventure module list
I'm don't know if 'canon' fits neatly with everything. I know past line developers didn't always consider some adventures canon (From memory Terror In The Skies was one of them, and thus its events not mentioned in the Travar sourcebook), though they were official products. The adventure frameworks...

Re: Earthdawn Blog and Previews
Hi Josh, Here's this week's preview, looking at the significantly refurbished Devotion Point system. http://fasagames.com/earthdawn/questor-advancement-and-devotion-points/ This looks pretty cool. I admit I was skeptical based on the first preview, but this one really helps clarify how things will w...

Re: Rules Question: Optional talents and legend point cost
Hello, Fair enough (about not listing talents twice - which is a Good Thing (TM)), but what is the rationale for the increased cost? This also makes no sense to me. If the cost needs to change (and I don't see why it does) I would think the cost should be lower. As the adept gains experience, learni...
