My nightmare was that everyone would be so excited for 5e that we'd schedule all these games and then struggle to fill them. This is amazing. We also have these seminars: 13th Age Adventure Design (panelists TBD) 13th Age GM Roundtable (at the moment Rob, Mike Shea and me) 13th Age: Year One (the state-of-the-game panel with Rob, Simon, me and whoever else we can rustle up) 13th Age Monster Workshop (panelists TBD)

When I played a monk I had a ton of fun and didn't feel left behind at all. I kept saying it but everyone seemed to ignore me so I kind of stopped. Monk has a bunch of stuff that means this isn't really fair. I mean a Monk with one feat in Flurry gets essentially two attacks per turn for free.

The problem is that the rogue already does this without spending a feat and can do it from round 1. e: I didn't think about the fact that Flurry's damage scales faster and doesn't depend on positioning, though.

Well the new classes are so interesting that I changed my mind, instead of the Centaur Diablo 2 style Paladin I was going to play for the Theros 13th Age game I am instead going to make a Returned (a type of undead for the Theros setting) Necromancer.

So many d20 games struggle with describing a monk. I really like the idea of a hard to hit, flurry-of-attacks class that lacks in damage but you'd better not ignore him or he'll pull some kind of jackie chan poo poo on you and now you're wearing a ladder as a necktie or are flat on your rear end with the fighter coming at you with a certain stabulous look in his eye. I'm glad to hear the 13th Age one is more fun though. I'm thinking about moving a PF game to 13th Age, and people always complain about a lack of options in 13th. (These people are spergs, but they're -my- spergs.). I'll have to check it out.

Followup - some notes on the Vault. Apparently when I did security updates on Joomla earlier this month it changed something the template I was using needed - now you can't edit things while using that template. So I'm trying to come up with a new template for the site without breaking the readability of what is there. So if you see anything odd over the next few days - that is probably me trying to get a new theme/template up.

The better comparison to sneak attack would be greeting fist, which gives extra damage that scales better than even improved sneak attack and can be doubled if you blow 1 ki on it.

There's some stuff in it that I'm pretty iffy on (the fact that pulling a Perseus against basilisks gives you -2 for the benefit of rolling one more death save seems kind of arbitrarily punishing clever, mythic action, for example, and I don't really like a ton of the fluff because I prefer more gray-area Icon stuff) but the monsters themselves are generally pretty interesting!

You should see "Download 13 True Ways Chaos Mage, Necromancer, & Occultist preview as zipped PDFs now." This playtest does not have updated versions of the Monk, Druid, or Commander to my disappointment, but does show off some cool, new classes. .

I didn't know that this was only for the new classes so I asked if the monk was changed while waiting on my copy. That is why we're talking about monks and not the new classes. Also, how does everyone else feel about the "once per level" tags that a few abilities have? Personally, not a fan.

Once per Level stuff seems kind of blah to me too. I am not sure I would spend any resources on selecting one, unless it came with something more useful.

The feat to get a free 5 with an icon is definitely underwhelming at once per level. The 9th level occultist spell that literally allows the player to rewind a noncombat encounter? That poo poo is awesome, and once-per-level feels like the perfect frequency for altering reality to that sort of extent.

Well, to be fair, as far as I can tell Occultists don't realy have a limited spell selection, so they're just getting that as a bonus - once it's cast, they can use that slot for other 9th level spells without having 'wasted' a spell pick, because of how their flexible spell memorization works.

Evil Mastermind posted:Basically I have no idea what everyone's talking about. Here's what's available to playtest: PACKET 1: Commander, Druid and Monk - last updated in February. Available to people who purchased the 13th Age escalation edition, pre-ordered the Bestiary, and/or who backed 13 True Ways. Rob says we probably have enough feedback on those classes to make necessary changes, so you probably won't see updated versions until 13 True Ways goes on pre-order and the draft-in-progress of the entire book is made available to customers. That will happen when it's ready, but we're aiming for later this month or early June. PACKET 2: Chaos Mage, Necromancer and Occultist - made available this past Friday to 13 True Ways backers, and to Bestiary pre-order customers today.

Would goons be interested in a 13th Age dataset for PCGen or something similar? I've found that the excel spreadsheet on the Pelgrane site doesn't really meet my needs for having things on the character sheet and prettiness, and hasn't got a bunch of the extra classes (Stalwart etc) in it either.

I haven't played around with PCGen much for the last few years, but did a bit of customising back when I played 3.5. Last night I started modifying the 4E framework they have to handle 13A. The Barbarian seemed fairly straightforward (although I've just built a skeleton and need to put in feats, more abilities, etc), but the Bard is going to be a lot more complicated. Goon project?
