Title: Glossary
Post by: imported_Rasyr on February 13, 2011, 03:06:32 PM

I am thinking that it would likely be a very good idea to include a small Glossary at the end of the introduction chapter.

Towards this ends, I would like suggestions on words/phrases to include in this glossary.

Things like

Armor Rating
DEF (Defense)
Attack Bonus (AB)
Player Character (PC)
Non-Player Character (NPC)
Game Master (GM)

Other suggestions are welcome. I will worry about writing the definitions to include, so no need to try to include them here.

Or have them for a download on the website. That way you can have a running glossary with words from various products.

I think a Glossary is a good idea.

I think this is a great idea. I am reading through the rules right now and have come across terms like "favored skill" before they were explained latter on. So it kind of interrupts the flow of reading if you come across a term you don't know about yet, and you have to skip farther into the book to understand what it means. A glossary in the beginning could explain the terms so the reader is not forced to skip ahead to figure out the meaning. It is also good for people who do not read the book cover to cover.

Glad you guys like the idea... Suggestions of words to include in the glossary would be even better... (http:///bigsmile.gif)

Basically, all terms that are abbreviated in most places, I'd say.
CP = Character Points,
SP = Spell Points
...

Something else I would think many people would like would be a short table for units of measurement.
Not all who buy and play Novus will be used to the imperial system and a short list of how many inch make a foot and how many feet a yard and so on might be greatly appreciated.. If it would also give rough estimates in metric units for each unit, it would be even better (http:///bigsmile.gif)

Any more suggestions for words/terms to include in the Glossary? I currently have the following:

• Armor Rating
• Attack Bonus
• Character Points
• Defense
• Game Master
• Non-Player Character
• Player Character
• Saving Throw
• Spell Points
• Stat Bonus
• Stat Value
• Stats

Please, make suggestions. Anything that might seem even the least bit confusing is something we might want to consider including.
