Hullo Earthdawnies!
Over the last two years, I have been slowly chiseling away at a Character generator for Earthdawn 4th edition.
I am proud to say that today, I am opening up my resulting Steps web app for beta testing.
If you are interested, please follow this link
Have a look around, and tell me what you think, and, especially, if something breaks down on your end. Click the topleft burger to access the menu and find the email link on the About page.
The app should work in any modern browser, and for now focuses on data from the Players Guide, Gamemasters Guide and Companion, which means no Gauntlet, for instance, quite yet. Don't worry, they will come along later.
This beta period will last for at least a month, and some of that time I will be offline on vacation, please be patient with me.
Steps Beta!
Re: Steps Beta!
Wow, very nice, thank you!
Just some thinks I noticed so far:
Just some thinks I noticed so far:
- Bloodelves are missing
- I would add the source for "Other Talents" to make it easier to pick one. For example Elementalist Circle 5: Fireblood (Journeyman)
- Versatility:
- Talents are not filtered by circle (for example Wheeling Defense can only be learned at circle 7 at the earliest)
- You can select a status level (Novice, Journeyman, etc.) - what for? As far as I remember not the status level of the talent is needed to determine the legendpoint costs, but the circle you learned it at. Or am I wrong?
- Thread and blood magic:
- I would rename "Name" -> "Type" and "Target" -> "Name".
- The selected bonus (for example Spellcasting + 1) doesn't increase the Step at the Talents overview (I would add a column "Bonus" or "Mod" there)
- It would be nice to have a Roll-function.

Thank you (o:
Yup; they're in the Elven Nations book; this release is just about the core books.
I'm not sure I understand - do you want to add the Tiers of the Talents?
Yup. I think I'll let the upcoming validation function flag improper use of Versatility instead of barring it entirely, for reasons of (heh) versatility =P
You pay for the tier the teacher bought the Talent at. If the teacher didn't get Avoid Blow till circle 14, you pay it that way.
Or at least that's how I understand the rules to work (o:
Noted. If enough people agree, maybe I'll change it (o:
This is a bug with the pattern items; noted.
It is already on the list, but adding something of that complexity is not going to be a top priority till I have this part working pretty smooth (o:
It should be eminently more doable than it was with secondstep, but for it to happen, it requires someone to step up and translate the relevant text; I know only Danish and English to a level to make them. Also, this is on about the same tier as dicerolling in priority, from my point of view. Enough user request, and I might change my mind (o:

Re: Steps Beta!
Is there a place to record the languages associated with the r/w language and speak language skills/talents?
If you press the button to add a discipline and then delete it before choosing a discipline, the add a discipline button disappears.

Re: Steps Beta!
Is there a way to reorder Talents or Skills? I like mine in Alphabetical Order.
