Thunderstroke (p.65) - thunderstroke is the noise, but the wording of the spell description indicates this should be called 'lightning stroke'. (Maybe a translation issue?)

Why not both! Or some new skills plus some extra levels in professional skills. This reflects how most characters develop after leaving their profession for an adventuring career. By the way, I think the term 'profession' is causing some misconceptions particularly amongst gamers coming from class-b...

Combat Maps - I strongly advocate changing the scale from a 2m grid to a 1.5m (5 foot) grid. The vast majority of battlemats and maps out there are based on a 5 foot grid, which would be bothersome to adapt at best and unusable in some cases.

Min-maxers need to have fun, too. :ugeek: I quite like a certain level ambiguity and interpretation in RPGs. It encourages creativity and deeper thinking about the rules. Although I acknowledge the need for certainty when not playing with your regular crew, so I understand many referees prefer clari...

If this is someone's introduction to refereeing it's going to give them a very narrow understanding of the possibilities. An introductory or basic game c...

Indeed, we are already counting WP and HP and money, why not count arrows.

Re: Power from the Body, is there any reason for the current system of rolling a die and changing that many points from HP to WP? Why not just say you can directly use HP to power spells?
