Re: Strength and armor based initiative penalties
All of my experience is with 3rd Edition too, though i hope to continue that game in 4th Ed soon. The group had a Troll Warrior who in my opinion would have been the king of combat if not for his lack of aggressiveness and tactical acumen, and even then he definitely carried his weight. He and the H...

Re: Strength and armor based initiative penalties
The rule was likely removed because armour-defeating hits are no longer a thing, so heavy armour is much more valuable.

There is actually quite a bit published, here are canonical answers to your questions, in order: What is beyond the Dragon Mountains between Death's Sea and The Aras Sea? The ea...

Re: Your Earthdawn
When the Travar book is released the 4 galleys, 6 drakkars are just those owned by the city. Individual merchants have their own fleets. Yes, that is why i speculated that, in addition to the 63 airships owned by the various city-states, and the 21 ships owned by merchants from Jerris and Iopos, th...

Re: New Discipline Creation
Thank you for the quick reply! I think I have a copy of the 3rd ed Gamemaster's Companion so I'll check that out. In the mean time, how do you decide which talents belong in which tier? I'm guessing that all of the talents on the core book are generally considered Novice or Journeyman. Do you guys ...
