io penso che bisognerà aspettare per giudicare...ora tutte queste congetture son basate su troppo poco x valutare...

cmq forse hanno pensato a quelli come me che nn hanno tempo e difficoltà a trovarsi con gli amici per poter creare qualcosa Online...e nel frattempo avvicinarsi ai videogiocatori....considerate che c'è ancora chi pensa a D&d a quel gioco con carta e penna =roba antiquata! (x loro)

per quanto mi riguarda, penso che verificherò bene di cosa si tratta e poi ci penserò se prenderlo e usarlo....x un bel po tuttavia la 3.x continuerà a darmi enormi soddisfazioni!

vedo che non ci sono novità sulla 4° ed quindi vi butto la un paio di chicche

-i colpi critici ora sono un valore fisso,te tiri un bel 20 senza bisogno di confermare e raddoppi il tuo massimale di danno,furtivi schermaglie etc inclusi nel raddoppio

-novità su chi sta per morire,si segue la seguente tabella: se vai sotto lo 0 tira un d20.
1-10:peggiori e soffri.Altri 2 tiri sotto 11 e sarai morto morto
11-19:stabile.
20:non si sa bene perchè ma ti rialzi con il 25% dei tuoi Pf.

-non si muore più a -10 ma a -25% del massimale dei Pf. Cioè sempre rispettando la tabella di sopra,se un colpo ti manda a -11 devi tirare sempre 3 volte prima di morire ma muori sul colpo se ti manda sotto del -25% del tuo massimale di Pf.

Altre cose non me la sento di dirle,ancora sono sotto shok. Cmq sto preparando un topic per Anima:beyond fantasy per presentarlo a tutti

in pratica invece di semplificare le cose, complichiamole!!! perfetto!!!

In realtà la meccanica dei colpi critici è stata semplificata.
Prima era:

1- Tiri un d20 per il TxC.
2- Qual'è la minaccia di critico della tua arma? [Risposta]. Se il risultato del TxC è interno all'intervallo di minaccia...
3- Tiri un d20 per confermare il critico.
4- Il TxC, sommando i bonus, supera la CA del bersaglio? Critico confermato.
5- Tira i danni.
6- Moltiplica i danni per il moltiplicatore del critico.

Adesso è:
1- Tiri un d20 per il TxC.
2- Hai tirato un 20? Bene... Critico!
3- Invece di tirare i danni, infliggi i danni massimi (esempio: 1d8+2 = 10 danni). Tuttalpiù, tira qualche dado extra se la tua arma lo prevede.

Credo che sia molto più semplice ed immediato.

Per quanto riguarda la meccanica sulla morte, mi era sfuggita la cosa del tirare un d20 a ogni turno... Ma non so quanto sia diverso dalla situazione attuale (si tira un d100, eh).
La cosa del "25% dei PF massimi" effettivamente è una complicazione, ma è necessaria. Ai livelli più alti (ma anche oltre il decimo...) un intervallo di soli 10 pf diventa esageratamente piccolo. Usavo già una home rule molto simile, quindi va da sé che non mi trova discorde.

infatti mi riferivo alla complicazione delle situazioni che portano alla morte...

io preferisco a volte soluzioni + semplici ma meno realistiche rispetto a quelle iperrealistiche ma che mi richiedono tiri vari e meccaniche astruse...

a mio avviso le meccaniche di morte sono una cosa particolarmente inutile su un gioco. Alla fine come narratore decidi sempre se il danno sarà mortale o solo da far perdere i sensi al tuo giocatore e se deve morire tanto fa morire a 0 che a -10 o -50. Il sistema migliore è sempre quello di guerre stellari o i livelli si salute della WW

Dipende dal punto di vista: alcuni master sono estremamente super partes e applicano i risultati in modo assolutamente imparziale, narrando poi la storia su quella base anche se si discosta molto dai loro piani. E' solo una questione di stile di conduzione delle partite.

Va a gusti. ma credo che un master debba saper valutare quando un pg merita di morire e quando no.. ed agire di conseguenza.. ma qui vado
... riguardo all'estensione della soglia di morte può essere una cosa interessante per i picchiatori (classi che ad alti livelli ritengo inferiori agli incantatori).. e potrebbero dare un senso all’inutilissimo talento “duro a morire”(ammesso che sopravviva) …
Un unico motivo per il quale mi potrei avvicinare subito alla 4.0. è se potenziano i picchiatori

io sapevo che era il 50% dei PF totali e non il 25

Io già adoperavo questo sistema di critico... Troppo macchinoso e troppi dadi da tirare per i gusti miei quello del manuale ...

Rispolvero un po' il thread con un po' di sane anteprime ufficiali.
Faccio post diversi per non confondere il materiale.

Play an elf if you want …

* to be quick, quiet, and wild;
* to lead your companions through the deep woods and pepper your enemies with arrows;
* to play a ranger, a rogue, or a cleric.

Physical Qualities

Elves are slender, athletic folk about as tall as humans. They have the same range of complexions as humans, tending more toward tan or brown hues. A typical elf's hair color is dark brown, autumn orange, mossy green, or deep gold. Elves' ears are long and pointed, and their eyes are vibrant blue, violet, or green. Elves have little body hair, but males often grow long sideburns. They favor a wild look to their hair, which is often a shaggy mass of braids.

Elves mature at about the same rate as humans but show few effects of age past adulthood. The first sign of an elf's advancing age is typically a change in hair color -- sometimes graying but usually darkening or taking on more autumnal hues. Most elves live to be well over 200 years old and remain vigorous almost to the end.

Playing an Elf

Elves are a people of deeply felt but short-lived passions. They are easily moved to delighted laughter, blinding wrath, or mournful tears. They are inclined to impulsive behavior, and members of other races sometimes see elves as flighty or impetuous, but elves do not shirk responsibility or forget commitments. Thanks in part to their long life span, elves sometimes have difficulty taking certain matters as seriously as other races do, but when genuine threats arise, elves are fierce and reliable allies.

Elves revere the natural world. Their connection to their surroundings enables them to perceive much. They never cut living trees, and when they create permanent communities, they do so by carefully growing or weaving arbors, tree houses, and catwalks from living branches. They prefer the primal power of the natural world to the arcane magic their eladrin cousins employ. Elves love to explore new forests and new lands, and it's not unusual for individuals or small bands to wander hundreds of miles from their homelands.

Elves are loyal and merry friends. They love simple pleasures -- dancing, singing, footraces, and contests of balance and skill -- and rarely see a reason to tie themselves down to dull or disagreeable tasks. Despite how unpleasant war can be, a threat to their homes, families, or friends can make elves grimly serious and prompt them to take up arms.

At the dawn of creation, elves and eladrin were a single race dwelling both in the Feywild and in the world, and passing freely between the two. When the drow rebelled against their kin, under the leadership of the god Lolth, the resulting battles tore the fey kingdoms asunder. Ties between the peoples of the Feywild and the world grew tenuous, and eventually the elves and eladrin grew into two distinct races. Elves are descended from those who lived primarily in the world, and they no longer dream of the Feywild. They love the forests and wilds of the world that they have made their home.

Elf Characteristics: Agile, friendly, intuitive, joyful, perceptive, quick, tempestuous, wild.

Male Names: Adran, Beiro, Carric, Erdan, Gennal, Heian, Lucan, Peren, Rollen, Soveliss, Therren, Varis.

Female Names: Adrie, Birel, Chaedi, Dara, Ennia, Farall, Harrel, Iriann, Lia, Mialee, Shava, Thia, Valenae.

Elf Adventurers

Three sample elf adventurers are described below.

Varis is an elf ranger and a devout worshiper of Melora, the god of the wilds. When a goblin army forced his people from their woodland village, the elves took refuge in the nearest human town, walled and guarded by soldiers. Varis now leads other elves and some human townsfolk in raids against the goblins. Although he maintains a cheerful disposition, he frequently stares into the distance, listening, expecting at any moment to hear signs of approaching foes.

Lia is an elf rogue whose ancestral forest burned to the ground decades ago. Lia grew up on the wasteland's fringes in a large human city, unable to quite fit in. Her dreams called her to the forests, while her waking hours were spent in the dirtiest parts of civilization. She joined a group of adventurers after trying to cut a warlock's purse, and she fell in love with the wide world beyond the city.

Heian is an elf cleric of Sehanine, the god of the moon. The elven settlement where he was born still thrives in a forest untouched by the darkness spreading through the world, but he left home years ago, in search of new horizons and adventures. His travels lately have brought rumors to his ears that danger might be brewing in the ancient forest, and he is torn between a desire to seek his own way in the world and a sense of duty to his homeland.

PIT FIEND ( )

Nobles of the Nine Hells, pit fiends form an elite ruling class that oversees vast numbers of lesser devils. Only the archdevils known as the Lords of the Nine stand higher than the pit fiends.

Each pit fiend is lord of a large domain within one of the layers of the Nine Hells and is vassal to the archdevil who rules that layer. A pit fiend might govern a city, command a fortress, lead a great legion, or serve as a seneschal or counselor for an archdevil. With the exception of Asmodeus, each Lord of the Nine commands no more than a dozen or so pit fiends.

As the lords, barons, viziers, and generals of the Nine Hells, pit fiends rarely confront adventurers in person. They are the progenitors of devilish schemes, and they step in only when important plans go awry or when great plots reach fruition. In the Nine Hells proper, pit fiends command vast numbers of lesser devils. Penetrating the defenses of a pit fiend's castle and destroying the mighty devil in its own demesne is a deed of truly epic proportions.

Pit Fiend Tactics
A pit fiend fights close to its enemies, catching them in its aura of fear and aura of fire. On the first round of combat, it spends an action point to use infernal summons. It then uses point of terror against a tough-looking foe and tactical teleport to place two allies in flanking positions around that foe. With its remaining minor action, the pit fiend uses irresistible command on an ally within range.

A pit fiend alternates between point of terror and irresistible command, sometimes using both if it has a spare move action it can replace with a minor action. Otherwise, the pit fiend uses pit fiend frenzy, teleporting as needed to gain a better position.

A pit fiend does not sacrifice its life needlessly and makes a tactical retreat if death is imminent.

Pit Fiend Lore
A character knows the following information with a successful Religion check:

DC 25: Pit fiends are the nobles of the Nine Hells. Each pit fiend serves as a vassal to one of the nine archdevils and commands a fortress, city, or army in its master's domain.

DC 30: Once every 99 years, a pit fiend can grant a mortal's wish by performing a terrible ritual. Only the most powerful and promising of mortals are offered such a temptation.

DC 35: Well-known pit fiends include Baalzephon, one of the powerful circle of pit fiends known as the Dark Eight; Gazra, who governs the city of Abriymoch in Phlegethos, the Fourth Hell; and Baalberith, the major-domo of the palace of Asmodeus.
