Not any talent probably, but all talents from discipline options instead of limiting them to one/circle. Yeah, this. Any Archer can learn any Archer Talents. What's wrong with that? Thanks for the clarification. The other way made my head explode. I actually really like the new Archer build. It smo...

Talents don't need to be used every round in order to be worthwhile. This shift away from situational abilities is one of the biggest flaws in design since RB took over imo.

Hey look it's D&D with a different dice system. I got flanking, I got flanking w00t!, w00t!. Backstab, Backstab. I win Earthdawn! I've got two responses to this: 1. Good. ;) 2. We've gone over this already in another thread. Guess you never played AD&D, huh? The way Surprise Strike works no...

Circle 1 Changes: Karma Ritual is no longer a talent. Avoid Blow and Throwing Weapons have changed places. Spend karma on Avoid Blow? Yes, please. Arrow Weaving moved here from 4th Circle, allowing for the adept to use threadweaving right out of the gate (huge fan of this by the way). Circle 2 Chan...

Reposting from Kickstarter: For those interested, here's a side by side comparison of the Archer in 3ER & 4E: Circle 1: Karma Ritual, Missile Weapons, Mystic Aim, Throwing Weapons, True Shot New Circle 1: Arrow Weaving, Avoid Blow, Missile Weapons, Mystic Aim, True Shot Circle 2: Direction Arrow...
