I'm curious how easy/hard it'll be to add/remove stuff without breaking balance. Will it be easier than 4e to add classes, for instance? E: Also, I just want to say that this rough sketch of The Priestess:  is Amano as gently caress! I'd love to see more of this, because it's just

Laphroaig posted:you do not need to make 1-30 levels of various powers. That's basically the thing that I was wondering about. I'm thinking the best design approach for a class would be to start with the simplified version and then start incorporating more complex elements and choices from there. I just want to make technomages. And kung-fu bears.

Mikan posted:13th Age explicitly insists you change your power names to make them unique and reskin as necessary.  When you say "reskin", does that mean you can swap damage types and such without begging the DM, like turning a Burning Hands-type power into a stream of frigid cold?

Mikan posted:I should have pregens for all of them, and I'm hoping to have multiples along for classes that can play differently. I'm trying to highlight different cool mechanics and options. Which classes actually show up in the playtest will depend on player choices, though. quote:I guarantee the Fighter will be more interesting than the Fighter in the thing I recently ran.

I have a question regarding shipping costs. Why does it cost double to ship to Canada compared to the US? Seems odd to me, considering the geography (and being Canadian  ).

Overemotional Robot posted:Oh poo poo this would actually work really well in this system. How so? In general concept (adventuring to different dungeons to collect macguffins to defeat a bad guy and collect a sacred relic), or actually adventuring in Hyrule? Because Hyrule as a setting seems horribly idealistic no matter which game you try to base it off of, where everyone but Ganon is a good guy. I mean, there's certainly Icons, but they all get along with each other pretty well as far as I can tell.

Mystic Mongol posted:So? You've got a single good guy icon, and several other factions, all of whom have fallen into darkness. Their lands are full of monsters, their faction heads are deeply distrustful of outsiders, and the whole place isn't doing well. But by That works. I was under the impression that the Icon system centred around them wanting to kill each other, which doesn't mesh particularly well with the Zelda games.

moths posted:If only there were 33 pages of thread that just did that just now! I'm gonna guess  Seriously though, I have to agree that the OP could use some sprucing up, especially since there's no more NDA shenanigans to worry about and pre-orders are up. It's a lot easier to get people interested in parting with their money when they can get all the pertinent information they need to make an informed choice in an effortpost or two.

Galaga Galaxian posted:Or the immortality could just be the "I never age, but can still die an unnatural death via violence" thing. I have a character in a 4E campaign with this kind of immortality. He has a spellscar that basically prevents him from staying dead; when he does die, he eventually resurrects an indeterminate amount of time later with a fractured memory. He can recall bits and pieces of various events that have happened over the last 100 years, though he's spent many of those years being dead, and each death creates holes in his memories and experiences. He spends each life trying to find a way to die permanently, and has been killed in a variety of fashions. He's currently a Monk in his present life. *shrug* I think it's an interesting character trait.

moths posted:So what exactly is wrong with single turn buffs, self-buffs, or icons that aren't statted out? I think these are all great things and really can't see how anyone would have a legitimate problem with any of that. Icons without stats are immortal, even if it's explicitly mentioned that they're just really powerful and influential mortals.

Speaking of pre-orders, when are non-backers going to get a chance to order 13 True Ways? I was moving when the Kickstarter was going, so all my money was tied up in getting that over with.
