Nightmares of the Third Age

I gave it glance and I believe you have the longest multi-word italic there. xD I do not think I've have seen one that long, but then I only glanced and am not sure if I can find the important words in it to shrink it.


I'll give it a more critical glance after dinner.
 
Another question I don't think I've seen brought up... how are we doing Craft? Umpteen different abilities like it is in RAW, or houseruled?
 
Single ability with specialties for genesis, etc. you still need to fufill the other ability requirements to buy it though. Lore for magitech, medicine for genesis, etc.

Lunar seems like an obvious possibility, though beastman Infernal certainly works. Don't blame you for not wanting to use canon Lunars on a non-combat focused character though.
 
Well the thought was she was not able to arbitrarily alter her form. (Even with LSD and ESM). So Lunar was right out. Then again Beastman anything, and Genesis craft experiments are viable for all the celestial level types.
 
I am hearing a bunch of talk about Infernals and Solars, but are there any other Lunars besides me? Just wondering.
 
A fair question. OF the 10 of us. I know of 2 Solars, 3 Infernals, 1 Lunar, a Sidereal or 2?
 
Without getting into a arguement, may I ask why? I personally like Lunars, and would welcome a alternative opinion.
 
Because the canon Lunars are thematically incoherent from trying to be too many things at once, their Charms suck out loud for anything but direct physical combat or one-trick pony gimmicks (Pretty Kitty, prophecies better than the Sidereals-aka-Oracles get), and in a lot of places they just get arbitrarily shafted by base rules that make no sense (largely in the rules for animals) or overwhelming Solar bias on the part of the authors in both fluff and crunch.on


The Terrifying Argent Witches fan rewrite of them is infinitely superior in all ways. They've actually edged out Alchemicals for my second-favorite 2e splat, and have been extremely well received by almost everyone who's read or used them.
 
I've never had the pleasure of checking out the TAW rewrite; perhaps I should. Thank you for your feedback.
 
Conceptually, they're kinda cool, but the implementation left me feeling it was better to just ignore it. One of the developers actually went in to them at length and put down the issues I had with them better than I could. If you want I can find you that thread.
 
Several people I usually play with on other sites, dislike TAW as well. While there are few that do like it, it has a strong turn off from that side. I haven't looked at them. I just don't play fan splat rewrites. Additions are fine. Rewrites rub me wrong at times. With that said I have not looked at TAW.
 
That doesn't discount the fact that she made a lot of good points, most of which I agree with.
 
IMO, she really, really didn't. Very different design and play philosophies, I guess, which is one of the reasons I'm so very unenthusiastic about 3rd Edition. Many of the thing she pointed out as "problems," were among what I see as TAW's (and 2e's in general) good points.
 
2E didn't have "good" points so much as it had "less bad" points. I'm being facetious, but I don't think I'm too far off the mark.
 
Soooooo, anyway, my character needs a bethrothal to a decently placed dynast, young or widower, any suggestions for interesting hooks?
 
It's all someone's opinion, doesn't make it any less valid than any one else's. TAW turns people off. 2e Lunars turns people off. Clearly neither are perfect. I do agree 2e Lunars does have some harsh stuff that doesn't work well.


Wardragon will likely not like 3e. I'm more certain that I will, I agree with more of the current direction's vision than not. (in fact I have no dislike of things from what I have seen yet).


And if he doesn't and those that made TAW don't well guess what... They made TAW once, they can make it again. If nothing else they are quite talented.

Wrong gender, but otherwise an excellent suggestion ;-)
