Not good at anything, just a dummy. 🤪

Great post. A lot of the DM tools are missing.

I read the Mistborn trilogy, it was okay. Not enough to make me want to read the sequels (in basically a different setting). I couldn't get past the TWO prologues for Way of Kings. 🤪 My favorite aspect of Mistborn is when I realized Show this Vin was being lied to, and the epigraphs at the beginning of each chapter were actually important to the plot. Another series I've seen compared to Mistborn is Powder Mage, probably because the author is a member of Sanderson's writing circle and they're both 'revolutionary' urban fantasy stories. Again it's a case where I read the first trilogy but didn't finish the second, I just wasn't as interested in the characters and got tired of the constant POV shifts that seemed to serve mostly as a speedbump for story. An urban fantasy story I wish I could recommend is Lord of the Mysteries, which is certainly the best modern Chinese fantasy work I've read, although the prose is really not very good. I have no idea if this is the fault of the translation or the original author.

Trying to figure out if the Spellcaster Edge is a downgrade from a partial WWN mage / SWN psychic / Codex classes...   What arts from WWN would be fair to reproduce as spellcaster spells, or maybe even which spells from WWN or OSR would be fair game. And of course: How much a theoretical cyberware that grants the ability to cast a spell would cost. 🤪

I finally hit the halfway point of Reverend Insanity (Gu Zhen Ren) yesterday. It's (probably) a shame the book will never be finished (due to being banned by the Chinese government) but there's still plenty more for me to read. 🎃

TheWhitefire's and Gremlin's characters both have 3 foci listed. Not trying to be a tattler or anything just looking for clarification. 🙂

Do we get a bonus starting foci? I'm seeing a few non-Warrior/Experts with 3. 🤔

May I take the One Point Strike style from Atlas? 🙂
