Clarifications

Analyzing Opponents

Creature Analysis is for Creatures

Call of Harrow is for Horrorspawn (Horrors and Horror Constructs)

Size Up is for Namegivers

There is now equivalent for spirits or dragons.

Appropriate Knowledge skills can be used instead of these abilities for general knowledge, but not specific traits.

 

House Rules:

1. Healing

When you make a recovery test for damage only, instead of a Toughness roll it is instead Toughness roll + (Circle x recovery level). Recovery level is based on whether you have Durability 3, 5 or 7 from your discipline. The recovery levels are 1, 2 and 3 respectively.

 

2. Journals

Writing a journal will earn the character Earthdawn Points. In order to earn the points, you have to finish the journal for a session before the beginning of the next session. Each session you write a journal for earns you one Earthdawn Point.

Benefit  Earthdawn Point Cost 
Reroll player roll before is resolved (max once per roll)
Spend a karma point on a test. This is in addition to any other karma that may be spent on the test.  (max once per roll) 2
Reroll GM roll before roll is resolved (max once per roll) 3
Add minor change to current scene 1
Prevent PC from dying - character is at one point from death rating and gains an additional wound 10

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Taking Step

To keep the game moving along, the characters will often just use their step value for determining success or failure. This is basically taking 10 from D&D.

 

4. Perception/Awareness

When not actively trying to perceive something, your passive Perception/Awareness will be step-2. This is not the minimum for your rolls when you are actively perceiving.

 

5. Magician characters do not have any spell matrices.

 

6. Clip the Wing will be usable on Windling Characters

 

7. Generating Attributes. Roll 4d6 and drop the lowest six times. Until the point cost of your attributes is at least 25, reroll your lowest stat.

 

8. Personality traits will be used. Select at least two.

Sample Personality Traits: Aggressive, Aloof, Altruistic, Ambitious, Amoral, Apprehensive, Argumentative, Astute, Attentive, Bloodthirsty, Bold, Charismatic, Chivalrous, Cold, Compassionate, Compassionless, Condescending, Confident, Conniving, Conservative, Courageous, Courteous, Cowardly, Creative, Cruel, Cunning, Curious, Cynical, Depraved, Dignified, Disciplined, Dishonest, Drunkard, Easy-going, Eloquent, Energetic, Extroverted, Fanatical, Follower, Forgiving, Friendly, Generous, Good-humored, Gracious, Greedy, Gullible, Honorable, Humorless, Idealistic, Immature, Immoral, Insightful, Insulting, Intellectual, Intense, Intimidating, Intolerant, Introverted, Intuitive, Irrational, Jealous, Judgmental, Kind, Lazy, Liar, Logical, Loner, Loyal, Lustful, Malcontent, Manipulative, Militant, Miserly, Mocking, Moral, Naïve, Obsessive, Opinionated, Optimistic, Overbearing, Paranoid, Passionate, Patient, Persuasive, Pragmatic, Protective, Proud, Rational, Reactionary, Realistic, Reasonable, Rebellious, Reserved, Resourceful, Rude, Sadistic, Sarcastic, Selfish, Sensitive, Sentimental, Shrewd, Spontaneous, Superstitious, Suspicious, Sympathetic, Treacherous, Vengeful, Witty.

 

9. Starting Equipment: Artisan Tools, Dagger or Knife, Grimoire (magicians only),  Traveler’s Garb (soft boots, shirt, belt, robe or breeches, traveler’s cloak), 100 silver pieces. The silver pieces can be used to buy additional equipment at book price. Once the game starts prices will vary. The kaer's prices will almost always be higher. Remember that you are living in a town in a cavern and the closest thing to wilderness are the agriculture caves when you buy additional equipment.

 

10. Each character should have a sentence or two describing how their discipline and their worldview relate to each other. See personal vision p. 79.

 

11. Have a general background in mind and flesh it out after the first introductory session.
