And another brainfart: If every two additional successes = a +4 bonus, why not allow the option for a Step 4/D6 die to be rolled instead? That allows for a less-than-average (1-3), an expected average (4), but also the chance of an above-average 5, and a 6 makes for a 'splosion, so you have an oppo...

A number of the Disciplines have quite particular Rituals, ones that cannot be done anywhere daily. I agree. FASA made everyone's karma rituals unique, but they didn't make necessarily make them functional. An easy fix for the scout would be, "Blind fold yourself. Sit and imagine you have been...

What are half-magic adepts? Is that a concept from ED3 I have missed? There is a short reference to them in The Adept's Way (ED1), also included in the EDC Player's Compendium and ED3 Player's Companion. There's not much about them. Basically, Namegivers who possess some abilities that allow them t...

Bottom line: two less talents to spend LPs on, which means more LPs to spend on other abilities. Nothing erroneous about that. :) And also two more Talents to spend Legend on, since Durability and Karma Ritual no longer count for Circle Advancement.

But it also frees up two talents which characters would normally throw Legend Points into, meaning more Legend Points to put into other talents. First thing most of my players do when they get to Second Circle is pump 300 LPs into their characters' Durability to get it to Rank 2. Those 300 LPs can ...

Personally, I don't see the fuss about the Karma Ritual and Durability proposals. The precedent for magical abilities that scale by Circle "without requiring the expenditure of Legend Points" is already there in Earthdawn, and has been since ED1. It's called Half-Magic. And you can't impro...

Isn't the durability vs HP problem the most easy one to fix/house rule? Just give every disciplin an additional talent at circle 2: durability, which the adepts have to raise in the well known way... That's how ED3R presented it. Durability as an additional Discipline talent at Second Circle, inste...

OK, so I was right the first time. /phew!

My bad, sorry. I didn't realize it had changed from +2 per success level to +4 per success level. Not following rpg.net, so that's invisible knowledge.
