Having nothing to do with Fasa or Earthdawn beyond giving them my money, it's probably not my place to post this, but Mataxes has a new preview up, Scout, and I want to comment on it.

Panda's contribution to the discussion.

And, since Josh always ends this way:

I love the flavor of the World Pulse Talent, and of the high levels in general.

As it is, caused me to take another look at Scouts, and I love them more now. Might be my favorite after Illusionists and Elementalists (which are tied).

(I typically picked Ranger in some other system, so I shouldn't be surprised.)

edit: Also, "One with the World," love it.

I was a bit too busy to post the thread this morning, so good on you for showing initiative! (Must have maxed out a die or two.)

As far as that power... I'm (mildly) tempted to change it to "One with Everything" to reference a joke about Buddhist pizza chefs. ('Cause, you know, I try to slip some jokes and whimsy in there for my own amusement.)

Gotta have fun somewhere, right?

Question, though, could you or Morgan expand on this statement?

I wasn't seeing much in what was said that points towards looking beyond the physical world. Am I missing something?
