• Rewrote Introduction and Character Creation intro
• Updated character sheet
• Updated character creation instructions
• New art for races
• Added Smack It Off power for some monsters
• Added Shake It Off by default for all monsters
• Edit pass over entire document (kill me)
• New cover art, take that!
• Clarified that magic doesn’t stack on Attacks/Defenses
• Fixed Divine Strike anima cost
• Changed immobilized condition to be –2 to Defenses
• Clarified rogues’ Backstab Attack power
• Added ghouls, kobolds and lich to Beasts & Bastards

Congratulations! Looking very forward to trying this out for real!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the read through so far. I'll review it once I'm done.
ReplyDeleteWOwW this is dang fine! free rpgs like this make me happy!
ReplyDeleteI have a question. Each of the classes gets powers/spells each level. Do they automatically get all the powers/spells of that level, or do they choose one or a couple or what?
ReplyDeleteYep, you automatically get all of the powers of your level and lower (Page 57 of the Player's Guide).
DeleteI am astounded by just how professionally put together this is. It's a beautifully written and conceived system that just begs to be read, digested and played. I'm part-through the first part of that now and loving what I am reading so far. Can't wait to play it.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Superb.
