Re: Earthdawn Companion?
I must admit that I haven't been as hyped for a rulebook as I am currently for the compendium for a long time.

Re: Problems with circle advancement and balancing
We always assumed, that each character receives Legend Awards based on their own circle. We played that way from the mid nineties on. I believe I've met other groups handling Legend Awards the same way we did until today.
That said: I am not the GM of the group I'm playing with now.

Re: Problems with circle advancement and balancing
If we are only talking about legend points, then this calculation is correct. But Legend Points are just a synonym for game time. According to the table, characters on Circle 2 receive four times as many Legend Points as characters on Circle 1, so while the three characters who had the less efficien...

Re: Rules Question: Optional talents and legend point cost
Since the cost of learning these optional talents is not based on the current circle of the character, but on the circle of the talent slot with which they are learned, it is relatively cheaper to learn them on a later circle.

The players have chosen different starting ranks for their talents. 3 players decided on a talent on rank 3, two players decided on two talents on rank 2. This led to the situation that the characters, with the ...

Re: Rules Question: Optional talents and legend point cost
One interpretation is the right one, the other one was the wrong one.
Thanks for clearing that up.
