Re-Establishing vWord or Equinox

[Zorbeltuss]

Aside from being class based, it has a magic system that doesn't turn into massive rocket tag spellcaster>>>>>non-spell caster mess.

Feats for martial characters are massive improvements plus generally providing some cool new option. And all classes gets special stuff.

Also world building is a toolbox, so if GM doesn't want magic he can say that his world doesn't have magic. And then there won't be any mages.

Might be nice if someone wanted to use it with the setting. Unless there's major differences, it doesn't look like Pathfinder, D&D 3.5, etc, would work particularly well without a overhaul.

[TetNak]

And just as an FYI, if I run a game out of this setting, and that's my end goal, I'll be using Savage Worlds, Modified Chronicle (ASOIAF), or GURPS 4E.

[Zorbeltuss]

ASOIAF is the only system of those I know in and out.

Savage worlds I don't know at all.

[TetNak]

It is super easy. But thats pretty far off, more than likely, so we will see.

[TetNak]

zorb, to kinda go sideways a bit.. here was what i was thinking for asoiaf magcic. basically replace status with a magic attribute. it would be for magic defense and offense. so you could raise it and still not be able to cast anything. you would need a benefit to cast anything, specialties would do various things.

[Trogdor]

That's a clever way to handle things.

[Zorbeltuss]

I would not discount status so readily, though it could be renamed and re-purposed, call it authority, maybe.

Depending on what sort of magic you want, you could easily use knowledge as the key skill. Appropriate if magic is something that is a time consuming affair that requires recipes.

[TetNak]

Status in ASOIAF is fine, but I'm speaking from a non-ASOIAF perspective. I wouldn't replace status in ASOIAF for magic.

[Zorbeltuss]

I think you misunderstand me here.

Status matters for intrigue, so you cannot simply take that ability away, even if you transplant the ruleset into a different kind of setting.
