Posts and discussion about specific talents as they are developed.
I had initially aimed to create a unified casting system where all casters follow the same rules and cast the same spells in the same way, then use talents to control spell access, secondary powers, and alternate casting methods. I realized while examining Knowledge skills that there is probably a …
That’s the dwarf out of the way. I’m going to try to get through the rest of the RSRD races, hopefully tonight. I hope you’ll excuse the lack of commentary in exchange for more (draft) content. RSRD Elf Traits Converting to Echelon Cornerstone Talent We already have the traits, so …
Now that I’ve described how to convert a race to a cornerstone, let’s actually try it. Creating a Cornerstone Talent from the RSRD Dwarf I’m going to work from the Revised System Reference Document, since this is likely to be readily available to most readers. I think in practice I will …
I suppose it really has been a couple of weeks since I looked at capstones, I’m way overdue looking into cornerstones. Where common talents are typically things a character can learn, and capstone talents often mark what a character has achieved, cornerstone talents often represent what a character is. In …
So, Eldritch Knight is too boring for you, eh? Alright, I’ll take that implicit challenge. I used Martial Training rather than BAB on the assumption this was a military-oriented archetype. Each tier of the capstone also requires a Mastery talent for at least one melee weapon of your choice. Tier …
Dawnforge was one of the semi-finalists in the “new D&D setting” contest done by Wizards of the Coast about ten years ago (the one Eberron ultimately won), and ever since it was published by Fantasy Flight Publishing I’ve really liked it. This setting focuses on mythic heroism, to the point …
The Tome of Awesome collects material posted primarily by Frank Trollman and Keith (no last name provided, not me). I have seen statements from Frank that this is ‘freeware’ and ‘creative commons’, but no formal license statement in the document itself. Since I am using this as a placeholder at …
After posting the Eldritch Thread Talents earlier today, I have updated the divine talents posted a few days ago to include the domain spells. I’m not entirely certain how I want to apply them, but I have a few ideas. This means that at ‘dedicated caster’ of a particular god can, …
Green Ronin’s Advanced Player’s Manual contains an Eldritch Weaver class, and while I don’t plan to use this class, the Eldritch Threads look like they’re a pretty good fit for one model of spell casting in Echelon. This class was based around arcane spells and doesn’t dip much into divine spells. …
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.
