Some new talents, including some common structural talents (Martial Training, Great Fortitude, Lightning Reflexes, Iron Will) and a couple cornerstone talents. This document is far from complete, and may well be split up as individual sections become better-populated… but it’s a start.
Now to convert the Shadowdancer prestige class to capstone talent. Prerequisites This prestige class can be achieved after seventh level (10 ranks in Hide required) and spans ten levels. I’m going to plan this to be a three-tier capstone talent starting at the Expert tier. Skills: Move Silently 8 ranks, …
I may have gotten lucky on my first choice of prestige class to convert. Arcane Archer actually fit the model well. Some of the other prestige classes, not so much. On closer examination it appears that many of the RSRD prestige classes can be better handled in Echelon as common …
Dwarven Defender in Echelon. This is a first draft, since it’s my first attempt at any capstone and the reasoning process needs to be debugged as well as the actual results. This is a 10-level prestige class, so corresponds to two or three capstones. It seems to me the powers …

Ascension to godhood, apotheosis, is handled like other character development matters — using talents. The rules for this are inspired by those from Mongoose Press’ Classic Play: Book of Immortals. Talent selection in Echelon is generally pretty freeform. As far as the rules are concerned, apart from the distinction between ‘upgrading’ and …
Okay, first draft for character creation. It’s pretty simple overall: I’ve got a slew of common talents defined (at least in draft): Divine Talents from Agents of Faith, Combat Talents from FantasyCraft, and more Combat Talents from Iron Heroes mastery feats. I’ve also started a document containing new talents, including a cornerstone …
