Looking for people for a second round of feedback for my races project (human, elf, halfling, dwarf). Please indicate clearly in the comments if you are interested.
The project treats races a bit like compendium classes, mainly focusing on generic racial move options usable across different classes: a few starting ones, four 2+, and four 6+ moves.
Interested
Huh. Tell me more.
Interested.
You would have to take it at first lvl amiright?
Gerard Snow William Nichols At 1st level you pick your race like normal, say dwarf. Then you could take the racial move for dwarf that your class provides., but if you are using my stuff you would also have 3 alternative choices to take instead of your class racial move, or take a move for being a half breed (like a 1/2 Dwarf, 1/2 Halfling) which opens up the racial advanced moves for both races. Then there are more dwarven moves for advanced levels that you could typically take instead of your class ones. The amount of advanced racial moves you take, and thus how much your race impacts your character, is completely up to each player.
I could certainly go for an expansion on dwarves, but I’ll certainly take the others too 😀
Cool, got a thing we can see?
Dwarves are the best, of course. But, this is obvious and well known.
William Nichols I’ll give it a day or so to give people a chance to replay to the post and then send out a group post with links to everyone who replied.
I have a paladin racial for dwarves that I have been trying to get someone to run: when the GM picks vows for your quest, temperance is not an option.
Jason Shea by allowing half-breed access to the best of both racial classes aren’t you opening a tempting gate for min max? Why choose anything but to be a half-breed if mechanical optimization is a thing.
Perhaps limit the half-breed to choosing the Advanced Moves of only one of their parents or otherwise reducing the effectiveness i.e. the half-breed is Jack Of All Trades but Master Of None.
Just a thought with limited info to draw upon…
EDIT: corrections to auto-correct
^Completely agree, and that is my concern as well. Its like multi-classing into the Wizard spells at level 2.
I’m very interested
Robert Jacobs RidersOfRohan I’m looking at the moves available and not really seeing how someone would min-max it. I’ll be interested to see what you think once you look at them. Keep in mind, that taking half-breed eats your starting move, so you are already down 1 move.
which starting move?
Josh C Your racial starting move.
Okay, Jason Shea. Like I said, hard to provide good feedback on something we haven’t seen yet. 🙂
At the end of the day, no matter what, if it works for your table I’d call it a success.
Yeah we didn’t have much to work off of. So feedback at this point isn’t possible.
Jason Shea OH half breed is a different starting move that does nothing except give you access to 2 sets of racial moves?
Interested
Josh C Exactly.
I think I prefer doing it like the Ranger does Half Elven, but I’m still willing to give it a once over and see how I like it.
I sent out the links in a separate post to everyone who indicated interest. If you didn’t get a notification you may want to loosen up your notification settings for G+. Let me know and I can tag you in the post.
I got this notification, but not that one.
Josh C Yeah, I recommend everyone go to their G+ settings and change “who can send you notifications?” to ‘everyone’ and then below where the ‘notifications’ section is flip on all the stuff under ‘posts,’ especially ‘shares a post with you directly’. That’s what I did to make sure I never miss anything. In the future I’ll make sure to tag people in the post just in case. 😉
I also got this notification, but not that one. Please just link
Jason Shea that’s not a good recommendation. Seriously. Everyone should loosen their privacy settings just to give you feedback on your stuff? Make it easy on the people you are asking for help to give you help.
I’m with RidersOfRohan: throw it on Google Docs, Comment Only, No Download and provide the shareable link.
Robert Jacobs I apologize for any offense. My intention wasn’t to say you all need to do that, but saying what I do. There is a project I would have missed recently if I didn’t have those settings. I still messed up by saying it at all. My bad.
I also forgot to put in a direct link or anything, which an oversight I regret. One of the other posters commented that they saw the post in their feed (implies that you could all too), but they commented on the other post, not here, and I didn’t realize that this information wasn’t there for you guys to take advantage of. Either way, I messed up by writing that stuff and not being clear about how you all can access the links right now. I’m pretty new to soliciting closed feedback through G+, and I’m still figuring it out.
Anyway, here is a direct link to the post, which you should all be able to access since it is shared with you, but I’ll also tag you all in it just in case. https://plus.google.com/u/0/116778651030776699740/posts/dQwZ4miQFYg
No offense taken Jason Shea…just didn’t think it was a good request.
