Re: Mistake with Lifepath Favoured Skills for Cultures

Interesting that the number of Favoured Skills per character have been reduced in 2e. In 1e each character would have four: one each from Culture and Background and two from Calling. In 2e you seem to get one choice from two possibles from Culture (or just one with no choice from Background/Backstor...

Re: Mistake with Lifepath Favoured Skills for Cultures

Actually, you get one regardless you're using life paths or not. Mind the wording for every culture in the core rules: ...choose one Skill among the two underlined and mark it as Favoured. Note that you also get more favoured skills from your calling, this time choosing 2 out of 3. Ah interesting!

Re: Mistake with Lifepath Favoured Skills for Cultures

Thanks Asgo - I should have used the rulebook and created a character before I opened my big mouth! :(

Re: Mistake with Lifepath Favoured Skills for Cultures

Ah - I see, you only receive one Favoured Skill under the main rules and the Lifepath rules choose for you.

Under the LIfepath rules, it states "An optional choice of Attributes, Favoured Skill and Distinctive Features is also offered, to speed up the process of character creation."

Re: House Rule: Lifepaths for the Dwarves of the Blue Mountains

Good idea to adapt this from the 1e Adventurer's Companion. However now Dwarves of Durin's Folk (I guess these are used as the basis for Dwarves of the Blue Mountains?) start with only Travel or Craft as Favoured Skills and (as I have come to realise) these mentioned Favoured Skills aren't additiona...

Mistake with Lifepath Favoured Skills for Cultures

As a LM running a 1e TOR campaign for some years, I am enjoying slowly reading through the 2e rules and appreciating many of the changes that have been made. However there has been a mistake made with the Favoured Skills added using the Character Lifepath rules - I see that each Culture only gets on...

Re: New Homebrew: Wilderland Patrons and Expanded Lifepath Rules

Great work! Just need to let you know to edit out some unwanted words that crept into p. 1, under Beornings Backstory 3 of your Expanded Lifepath rules: "He was a hardy warrior, but you remember him best 46 The One Ring wrapped in his white wolf-skin,.." I really like your Family Lineage r...

Re: Hope in 2.0

I'm used to the RAW 1e Hope rules and still trying to work out whether I like what I know of the 2e Hope rules or not. If I was starting with 2e, I would just take and use them, not having experience of anything different. Whilst we have some inkling of details of the new rules, we don't know everyt...

Re: Councils in TOR 2e

I like that idea Falenthal - I think that I'll adapt to using that or similar. I'm not sure if my group ever failed to reach the top level of Successes... but then they tend to be careful that characters only use skills with a good chance of success - quite a reasonable way to play.....
