Re: Initiative: Needing More Than 10 Cards

I downloaded and printed these. They got to 27, look good, and have large numbers:

Re: Jack of all Trades

Instead of using JOT there should be some kind of half caster feat Heroic Ability that you can only take once and with very limited parameters: lower starting skill, limited starting spells, no grimoire use (only spells in memory), etc. Half casters should be a thing but JOT is an awkward way to do ...

Re: Dragonbane BETA Rulebook Feedback - Chapter 4 Combat & Damage

Page 50. Armor. There is no way anyone is putting on or taking off plate armor in a single 10 second action. It really isn’t something that could be done in combat but if you want to make it a possibility how about one round/action per Armor Rating? Still not realistic but at least not ridiculous.

Re: Dragonbane BETA Rulebook Feedback - Chapter 4 Combat & Damage

P.46 DURABILITY The Beta now says that a weapon which parries but has its Durability exceeded is not usable until fixed by an artisan. In the Quickstart it said that the weapon could continue to be used but with a Bane. House ruling encouraged and all, but I prefer the Quickstart. I agree. Weapons ...

Re: Dragonbane BETA Rulebook Feedback - Chapter 4 Combat & Damage

Page 48, Grapple. This seems too good. It should be done with a bane vs an armed opponent. Why can’t it be dodged? It seems that if someone tries to tackle you that getting the hell out of the way is a good strategy. I’d maybe go so far as to allow the initial grapple to be opposed with mobility or ...

Re: Dragonbane BETA Rulebook Feedback - Chapter 2 Your Character

Page 31, Experience. Three different advancement systems is two too many for a game intended to be relatively simple. In game checks, plus post game questions, and session count for Heroic Abilities out to be collapsed into one unified system of advancement.

Re: Dragonbane BETA Rulebook Feedback - Chapter 3 Skills

HEROIC ABILITIES should have levels like in FBL or Symbaroum. If they won them every 5 sessions, very soon they would end up having all of them in a fairly long campaign. Maybe increase the number or have them bought with Advancement Mark increases? My group averages 40 or more sessions a year. Tha...

Re: Dragonbane BETA Rulebook Feedback - Chapter 2 Your Character

Page 15, Artisan tanning refers to animal armor rating. None of the animals on page 99 have armor ratings.

Re: Jack of all Trades

JOT would make more sense if it let you add another trained skill or something like that. As written, JOT is ridiculous. Never mind the Mage problem, but it also allows a character, after a single session of play, to become a fully trained blackmith!

Re: Dragonbane BETA Rulebook Feedback - Chapter 3 Skills

I like JOT BECAUSE I can choose to be a warrior with spellcasting if I like. I like the spending of a heroic ability to do this.
I agree there should be some way to facilitate this but getting all the abilities of a Mage after just one session of play is not it.
