Re: Turning Skills into Talents
To give you an impression, on how / why these things differ: As an Adept, you get Talents granted by following the Path of our Discipline. If you read the novels, Talents are described as an ability that the Adept "knows by instinct". E.g. a Scout who is climbing a mountain instinctively knows where...

Re: Beastmaster 12th Circle Discipline Talent issue
your adept is probably walking around in forged armour, carrying a forged weapon, probably has several thread items, might have several common magic items, and is quite possibly literally so famous that people recognize them on sight. I think most people are going to figure out *something* is out o...

Re: Astral Space attacks
@ Chris: Well Elements and Elementals are inhabitans of the Netherworlds. There are even Homeplanes for them. As such, Elements in their Earthdawn-manifestation are quite likely to be a product of Astral Space. Thus would make a Gauntlet theoretically privileged to be able to fight astral foes. All ...

Re: Astral Space attacks
You can assume that all Adepts have an astral pattern - not just an echo. So even a Gauntlet or Beastmaster can hit an Astral being with their Claws or Fists. The same Magic that allows you to hit Astral Targets protects you from not getting infected with all sort of stuff from touching several kind...

Re: Fan Collection - The Ways of Adepts
Hi, I think the idea itself is splendid. Though there are a lot of Source Books about this topic - Way of the Adept / Edition 1 Player's Handbook . Makers of Legend 1 - The Way of War - Makers of Legend 2 - The Wanderer's Way So a lot of stuff has already been published. Since a lot of these descrip...

Re: Beastmaster 12th Circle Discipline Talent issue
I think that there is a difference in your examples and your theory :-) If a Wizard uses Astral Sense to increase his Astral Sight, he will get a superior Astral Sight, yes. But you can prevent him from casting it or make it more difficult for him. He even has to spend an action to buff himself. Tha...

Re: Beastmaster 12th Circle Discipline Talent issue
I think crushing blow being better than down strike is deliberate. it's kinda the point; the warrior does fighting well, and everything else is pretty much secondary to that. they get the best damage replacement talent because fighting is their focus, and while they can add a little bit other than ...

Re: Beastmaster 12th Circle Discipline Talent issue
Of course it is a very splendid improvement from old editions that you can apply your lower circle spells far longer since the new system. And of course, Great Leap is a strong talent. But compared to e.g. Crushing Blow, Down Strike is ALWAYS worse. You are either riding your companion and can "Down...

Re: How do Non-Adepts Journey on the Wheel? (Elvish Spiritual Belief)
They Wheel of Life demands that you follow a certain view of Life. E.g. the Path of Warrior demands that you try to understand how your instincts shape your decisions. So basically, everything you do to experience these impressions is adequate to follow the path. Great Elves like Aithne have a very ...

Re: Beastmaster 12th Circle Discipline Talent issue
I think the general design problem is to introduce Talents that do not "feel" to be beneficial to increase during your adventure. E.g. if it "feels" like to lean the way that you stop trying to gamble for like 4-5 hits with your Claw Frenzy at a cost of 8-9 points of strain at higher Circle adventur...
