Upon further reflection, I’ve modified some of the starting
gear for characters, and adjusted damage for fixed damage. I changed the rules for hits (they are no longer rolled), and I also realized that each character was one point shy on their attributes, and adjusted accordingly. Stat blocks keep getting cleaner and simpler, which I like. Monster stat blocks that I'm working on are ending up VERY lean.
· All characters start with a simple weapon (damage 2). If this is a heavy weapon, the hero can add MGT to that damage; a simple ranged weapon has a range of 30’.
· Starting armor is nothing for a mystic (armor 0), padded armor for a rogue (armor 1) or ring mail for a warrior (a low-quality heavy armor rating 3). Leather is going to be armor 2; studded leather is going to be armor 3; chainmail will be armor 4; plate mail will be armor 5.
· None of the starting gear has any market value; these things cannot be traded in as credit towards the first upgrade.
· Replacing any of these weapons, or purchasing an additional weapon, costs 3 gp.
· Skarn’s gauntlets were too much of a game changer. I’ve changed them to lesser gauntlets of might that grant +1 to might.
· I’ve changed the honey so that a drop restores 3 hits. This makes it a slightly less powerful magic item, but more suitable for a level 1 character. I’m thinking a standard healing spell will restore 5 points per mana spent (as of my current thinking), so this is a little less powerful than a standard healing spell.
