Re: Convention Play - GaryCon IX
And even if we don't have the full-blown releases, we can provide the working drafts that were used to run the adventures at this past year's GenCon.

Re: "Canonicity" of ED2
Obviously, anything from ED2 would need to be tweaked/updated to fit the current rule set. It's been a while since I've looked at anything from ED2, and I can't think of anything offhand that I think needs to be updated. So... it's as "official" as anything else from earlier editions. As a point of...

Re: Statistical breakdown
By the way, I really like AnyDice. I have to refresh myself on the syntax every time I use it, but it's so handy.
I only wish it had been around back in the 90s when I was doing my (First Edition) Step System analysis. Would have saved me a lot of time.

Re: Statistical breakdown
Going with the idea of "roll Attribute, use Skill Rank as a bonus to result" means you end up with a different distribution compared to the traditional Step system, with the differences being more dramatic the higher the modifier. To provide an example, let's take a Step 6 Attribute and Rank 4 skill...

Re: "Canonicity" of ED2
I was wondering what was the status of the material published by Living Room for Earthdawn 2nd Edition. I know that story-wise ED4 "retcons" ED2, but what about the new Disciplines, creatures and Horrors? Are they still part of the Earthdawn canon, or shall I consider that ED2 basically never exist...

Re: High-Circle Preview: Archer
Wizard will be shown. They have some new talents that really play up their mastery of magic concept. Warrior gets a couple of new talents. The Weaponsmith continues to shine as a "support" Discipline (I really like their C9 Discipline power).
Really, all of them are pretty cool.

Re: High-Circle Preview: Archer
I thought there was a spell at higher circles in the previous edition that could increase your Karma Die type, but I'm AFB right now. Just something bouncing around in my head at this point. Thanks for the response! There was, in fact. Improve Karma was the spell in question. And it wasn't even tha...

Re: High-Circle Preview: Archer
I do have one question that neither you nor Panda touched upon. Why did you decide to increase the Karma Step at 13th Circle? Increasing the Karma Step is a cool idea, and I'm glad to see it in there somewhere, but unlocking it at the Master tier seems like a really late time to introduce the mecha...

Re: High-Circle Preview: Archer
We're looking at a new name for Defense. As Morgan commented in one of our back-and-forths, "Names are hard." (At one point one of the Sky Raider Discipline abilities was called "big-ass lightning attack.") The difference between Vital Ward and Vital Strike is Vital Ward is just a straight add-on to...

Re: High-Circle Preview: Archer
In case anybody missed it, a look at a couple of the talents in that Archer progression are featured in today's post.
Kind of a stealth update.
