Re: Buckler and Bow

Isn't this the entire point of a buckler? For use by archers?

Re: [ED4E] Running for Troubadours

As far as I can tell, Inspire Others is a decent candidate for the single best talent in the game. Heavy investment in that pays off and makes the entire party capable of ridiculous feats.

Re: Descriptions

It's always been a part of the ED universe that I've played in that weaving a thread pretty nearly required a physical action (usually something that looks like moving threads around with your bare hands), and so if it was done during conversation it was kinda like someone unsnapping a belt knife - ...

Re: Additional Targets in Spellcasting

Do you think letting someone be the target of multiple Mind Daggers break the game? Not the penalty aspect, just the damage? It's essentially increasing the speed of multiple castings by adding threads but then making only one spellcasting test. It says "additional target", not "addi...

Re: ED4 Design: Airships, Riverboats, and More

Delay, my foot.

This is super cool, and even having something published in this area is kinda above and beyond.

Re: 4th Edition Reviews?

Yeah, that's pretty much the way to do it. Except I think avoid the word "refund". Just say that when you Circle, you gain free Legend equal to what the rank *would* cost, and also that they can wrap one meditation session on that Talent into the training to raise Circle. This HR would nee...

Re: 4th Edition Reviews?

I get that... it's one of the things that often makes ED grognards (and I count myself among them -- bought the original core in hardcover in '93) growl. But, honestly... are the free talents good enough to justify spending points on them? No, but if people who don't get them for free have the opti...

Re: [ED4] Book Memory Wizards

Saving money on library fees. Encyclopedic knowledge of any subject you can find a real good book on. Worrying less about the fragility of that one amazingly awesome ancient tome you found in a kaer. Permanently memorizing any book someone is foolish enough to leave you alone with for ten minutes. T...
