Hi everybody.
I just joined the list and have been reading it for a couple of days.
I've created a chart for Elven Focus mentioned in RMCo1 and I thought I'd share it with you (is there any need for this in RMSS?).
Categorys Skills A:Adrenal Adrenal Moves(All), Contortions, Stunned Maneuver B:Meditation Meditation(All) C:Crafting Crafting, Fletching, Stone Crafts D:Athletics Diving, Skating, Skiing, Surfing, Tightrope walking, Tumbling E:Outdooring Caving, Hostile Environment, Rowing, Skating, Skiing, Stalk 'n' Hide F:Spying Disguise, Falsification, Mnemonics, Signaling, Stalk 'n' Hide, Surveillance G:Physician Drug Tolerance, Hypnosis, Second Aid H:Performance Disguise, Mimery, Mimicry, Mnemonics, Signaling, Ventriloquism Race Can NOT choose Half-Elves A D,E,H Half-Elves B A,E,F Half-Elves D C,F,G,H Half-Elves E - Fair Elves A,E,F High Elves E,H Wood Elves C Aquatic Elves F,G Grey Elves E,G,H Dark Elves C,G,H
The pc chooses one category and counts his racial SD as possitive instead of negative.
When I created the Categorys and Restrictions I considered my view of the diffrent elf-races and what would be appropriate in each category. So if your elves differ from the descriptions in the rm-products you should probably modify the restrictions.
As this makes elves more powerfull there are some variants listed in RMCo1, another one is to require a BO ta have a focus (come to think of it a well spent one, +40 in several skills). I havent read Talent Law but from the discussion I gather that you buy talents for points, this would obiously be a quite expensive talent if it were incorporated into that system. Q: Do you a starting amount of points or are you required to take flaws for every talent?
Please give me your comments.
