Re: Reforged Power 2.0 Alpha/Beta

Another thing, Inner Peace elf talent, rank 3, allows to relocate one attribute point to another with limitations - max 5 in Strength, Wits and Empathy, max 6 in Agility. Rank 4 allows to add another attribute point for a day - max 5 in Strength, Wits and Empathy and max 7 in agility - shouldn't rank 4 allow for max 6 in other attributes?

And if yes, then Rank 5 should probably allow for max 7 in other attributes if 8 in Agility is the max?

Glad that you liked it :)

Link to 1.9.25. Some notes:
  • Readded the kins to the Gamemaster's booklet.
  • Also rewrote Ogre rank 2, slightly reworded some Misgrown talents and added Diseased Flesh (as ulcers/sores was a rollable thing they could have). Could probably have a better name.
  • I left Psychic Power as it was. As you said, when rerolling armor you might just roll more 1s instead of more 6s and it costs 1 WP. So it might not be too overpowered.
  • Short break. New try: "You can still quickly regain your attributes. If you plan on resting, you can regain 4 in each attribute by: first ending your current QD by taking a short break, then take your Quarter Day’s rest, take another short break during said rest, and then start the upcoming Quarter Day with another short break, all at the cost of extra re-source rolls"
    - I think that it should be important to note that you only really lose a single QD, the same as a regular rest would cost you in the standard rules.
    - As for taking a short break during a rest is silly, well it mostly because of the wording. I see a rest as taking things easy, and a short break is just that you eat breakfast, lunch, dinner or the like just before or after said rest (or even during it, unless you also sleep, then its more likely to occur before or after, like "5h and 45 minutes sleep plus a 15 minutes breakfast"). It could perhaps be reworded from "short break" into something else?
  • I clarified that you don't need the talent to parry a ranged weapon if it is in reach of your weapon.

Release around the end of the week, unless anything major happens. All kinds of feedback is of course still very much appreciated!

Edit: I missed you "Inner Peace" elf talent question. I'll have a look at it later.

Missile Parry: "You can also also parry them with a weapon..." - double "also"'.

Diseased Flesh for Misgrown - I think that's a good name for this mutation. I checked in my Tome of Corruption (Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay book) and there is a similar mutation to this one, directly translating to "Diseased Flesh", so yeah, it's alright!

Short break: Yup, we got it, I think it's worded perfectly now :D

Question about the new Path of Valor talent for Champion: I get a feel from it that Valor pool is supposed to give the effects to the whole group, i. e.: the Champion creates the pool of let's say 5 Valor points and then whole team can use it to negate receiving damage (Rank 1), correct? If no, then it sounds like a great idea to change it accordingly, as it would strengthen the position of a Champion of "support class" in combat.

Can't wait for official release!

Missile Parry - fixed, I really should stop editing things when I am tired in the middle of the night >.<

Elf talent - hmm.. I really overcomplicated a lot of old stuff in 1.2!
RANK 4: I just removed that last part about the maximums, it didn't add anything meaningful. Is now more like spend 1 WP, gain +1 to any one.
RANK 5: Changed to: "As rank 4, but you may spend up to 3 WP per attribute, each WP so spent grants a +1 bonus for a day or until you meditate again, whatever comes first."

Path of Valor. No, only rank 3 affects allies (passively), without spending valor. I think it might be overpowered if it applies to the whole party? If maybe as rank 5?
I could then change it, to perhaps:
RANK 1: Keep as is.
RANK 2: Move the passive fear bonus from rank 2 here?
RANK 3: The damage bonus from rank 2 can move here?
RANK 4: Move old rank 5 here, i.e rank 2 gains a bonus from reputation.
RANK 5: Your sense of triumph affects you allies. When you set up a pool of Valor (see rank 1), you may select any number of allies within NEAR range. They will now also deplete the Valor pool to negate attribute damage.

I agree to the changes you suggest to the Path of Valor - it also removes somewhat strange healing ability from this class. And just to be clear, in rank 1, to negate damage, you have to SPEND Valor points, correct?

I've also found a couple of typos, all in Magic chapter of Player's Booklet:
Wonder spell - "This is an Epic Spell, se the description" - missing "s" in "see".

Swarm Magic summary:
  • Infest: - in the summary list you write about target having to succeed Move roll to stop receiving damage, but in it's own section it doesn't say anything, so which way is it?
  • Wasp Cannon: - "Summon a personal a ranged weapon - the second "a" is unnecessary.

Elemental Magic summary:
Heart of the Moment - it should be "heat", no "heart".

Motlen Seat spell - Earthquakes section - there's random "A." in there, should probably be removed.

Link to 1.9.26.
  • Path of Valor: Changed. And yes, you spend points to negate damage, and this is forced. I updated to clarify. Hopefully better now?
  • "it also removes somewhat strange healing ability from this class" - I fully agree. And if there are any other strangeness in the rules or rules you do not like, please continue to point that out! :)
  • Infest - changed the summary. It was changed so many times during writing, so I must have missed that. The spell you can end with a successful roll became "Harass".
  • fixed the other typos you found

Path of Valor: - rank 4 - should be "As rank 2", not 3, as bonuses against Fear are in rank 2 of this talent.

Wonder spell - "This is an Epic Spell, se the description" - Oh I see I said the wrong letter is missing and you didn't fix it! Sorry! There's missing "e" in "see", not "s"!.

Path of the Artisian: - rank 1 - "You can in just a few minutes and with barley no materials..." - should probably say "with barely any materials".

Path of the Commander: - rank 2 - it may be worth clarifying what exactly "reducing the effect of a fear attack" means - is it that each success in Performance roll eliminates one damage to Wits received?

Path of the Face: - rank 4 - I'm having a hard time understanding who I can impersonate at this rank. If rank 3 gives me the ability to assume the appearance of another kin, and your rank 5 gives the ability to take appearance of a monsters like ents, what exactly I can impersonate at rank 4?

Updated to 1.9.28.
All Roll20 macros are now using Reforged Power 2.0 rules. See readme for changes.
This also means that I am kind of done with everything needed to release it. But very much still appreciates feedback, ideas, etc!

Path of Valor: - fixed
Path of the Commander - yes.. tried to update it? could perhaps be written better?
Path of the Face - well, I guess that a Goblin could perhaps look just like an Ogre with rank 3 RAW? I rewrote it somewhat...
