Silent but deadly!

Hey there! Look, a ninja! Never mind, it's gone.

Speaking of which, New arcane background: Ninjitsu! Personally, I think this one is awesome. I apologize in advance if the description may seem a bit simplistic and less serious. I wrote this one at home and the kids in the background put me in a silly mood (as opposed to the boss in the background).

I believed an agility-based AB would throw the game off-balance a bit because it would also allow the character to excel at fighting AND shooting. To balance it out, the ninja needs BOTH hands to cast. So you either fight or cast. Also, no attack spells, if you wanna kill someone, that's what Katanas are for. Finally, a botched roll will leave 'em shaken AND expose their location. Too bad if you were sneaking around.

I updated the Cannoneer to make it make more sense. I hople they are a bit simpler to use now. I also got rid of the machinist, turns out it was too much like a white mage.

Finally I did some fine tweaking on the Starting Powers/Starting Power Points department.

Mooglecraft!

Alright, kids, gather 'round, it's update time! Today I updated the Magick Arcane Background. Mages now start with as much Power Points as a Generic Wizard, but start with twice as many spells, this is because they have a limited choice of spells and many are redundant. There is also no serious consequence for failure. What's new, though, is the Mooglecraft Arcane Background! I don't know about you, guys, but to me it sounds like a load of fun to play either Cannoneer or Machinist. The classes take a bit from the Weird Science AB. This background is Agility based, so to balance them out they get to do some extra steps before they can perform their power. These classes are inspired by the Flintlock and Gadgeteer classes from FFTA2. Also, there's a new page: Races! This one isn't really that exiting because I took race descriptions off the web and then followed the rules in the SW handbook. so 99% of the credit goes to the awesome people at http://www.returnergame...

Now featuring bonus races!

Update time! As requested by one of my players, I came up with a description to what I imagine a male Viera would be like. Any other race I post here will remain here and not go to the PDF. Also, this is the first entry under the Races  tag. I'll try to post any other race conversions I come up with there. What do you think? Check it out and post a comment! Link:  Viera (male)
