Time for the the gaming stores that have special status for earlier release to sell them and for those that pre-ordered to get them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are ten abilities that all come in three levels; base, improved, and supreme. Costs two story points to activate them. You can obtain upgrades through their purchase.

Solkar77 39 Posted April 14, 2018 Wow, that's really an advanced delivery. OK, I'm itching to know things about the magic system. From what I have learnt is that no new magical actions. So I assume verse and rune are new magical skills which use the normal magical actions but with its own combination... Right? I also assume rune need to runeshards to cast. I also assume verse uses Presence. Assumptions correct? Any crunchy detail on them? Any twist on Arcane, Divine and Primal? What is elven magic about? 1 DarthDude reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not familiar with Terrinoth, so how accurate to the setting it is I have no idea. Verse and Runes are new magic skills. They work much the same as the other magic skills. There is a table which shows which magic actions can be taken with which magic skills. Depending on which magic skill you have you may be able to use some magic actions but not others. Whether you choose to follow it is up to you. Implements are a big deal in casting magic. Runebound shards have their own section separate from the information on implements so there is some detail. There is information on Gods, music magic, spiritspeaking, and eleen magic, but it all appears to be more fluff. 2 hours ago, CapnNemo said: I'd kind of like to know what all careers are included, as well as the player races. Just a listing to see what it offers. Disciple, envoy, mage, primalist, scholar, scoundrel, scout and warrior. Human, elves, dwarves, orcs, catfolk, and gnomes. All the races (except humans) come with sub-species so they are expanded on compared to the generic versions in the core book. No reason you couldn't use the other three versions of humans if you so choose. 2 2 DarthDude, twincast, Mogloth and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
