I'd like to see something like this: http://www.earthdawncompendium.com/articles/show/52f0fb62708f8aeb0f000001 ...but then again I would because I wrote it. Basically, I'd like it to be similar in function but balanced so that it doesn't overshadow adepts. I think this framework also better allows r...

As an international customer, I absolutely don't mind waiting if that is the easiest. After all the pdfs will be available for us in the meantime.

Maybe set it up so they can go above this limit but to do so requires a contest of wills like suggested above. Place penalties on these contests for every point over the limit you go. So if your summoning is rank 5 then you could summon 1 rank 5 or 1 rank 2 and 1 rank 3 or 5 rank 1 spirits. But if ...

I'll preface this with my experience is with ED 1ed so this may have changed. Here's my 2 cents. I love the idea of summoning but toning down the spirits to make it fair takes away from the magnitude of those astral entities. Like horrors they should stay mysterious diverse and powerful. I'd rather...

I have lots of issues with the summoning rules and could probably write pages and pages of things that don't work as intended and things that are just plain broken. I'm going to limit myslef to a few key points that particularly bother me. Having said that, outside of combat, the rules work quite we...

I've had this too. I've tried two systems to combat it. Allowing people (PCs and NPCs) to take their step number and only requiring rolls when using Initiative Talents that change the step number such as Air Dance are used are used. I haven't noticed any issue with either and am tempted to not even...

I also like the way Knockdown Tests are done. It does take a tiny bit of math, but it makes sense. I wouldn't change this either. Same here. The biggest issue I've had with players new to Earthdawn(usually coming from D&D) is initiative rolling every round. What are the Talents in the game that...

Since it has come up a couple of times, what do people think about reducing the Knockdown difficulty? Specifically dropping the +3 modifier that has existed in every edition of the rules thus far? It makes it easier to resist knockdown, and makes the math a trifle easier as well. Yes, drop the modi...

I think that for such characters you should stop giving adepts as opponents. Make their legendary status their opponent. Get people from far lands come to them and ask for help with powerful horror/monsters. Get them into politics, let them settle in some town and take care of their net of follower...
