Specializations

Postby Darksyde » Mon Feb 27, 2012 4:03 am

So, with the latest news I gave in and finished up my 3rd edition book list with everything save Cathay items. After looking through the Kratas book I was surprised to find the Specializations section which I had not heard much talk about. I found the concept appeared to be sound and added a little more variety in the Disciplines (note, I have little practical game experience but from what I have read I didn't see anything that jumped out as a red flag). So I was wondering if these didn't actually work out so well or if they may show up in other books after the change over is complete later this year/early next. Are there ore in the nations books that I just haven't found yet?

We try to keep the actual discipline rules in as little a number of books as possible. So, for example, you don't have to go to NoB4 and/or bring it to the table to find the Sky Raider assassin specialist.
Technically, many of the specialist rules in Namegivers also belong into Kratas, that they ended up in Namegivers is because of the publishing schedule, where we put Kratas before Namegivers for ED3 because you guys kept pestering us about it. ;)

One general remark on specialist rules, though: many GMs seem wary to simply allow to retcon a character. In a running game, the new specialist in sourcebook #15 won't be of much use to many players, simply because they already got their characters.
Best kaer anywhere.
