giving a Casting Option to the Summon Familiar spell




It looks like this has not yet made it into the errata?

First of all, let me welcome you to the Firehawk Games Forums! I hope you enjoy playing Novus for many years to come!




Thanks, and thanks for the in-depth reply.  I'm enjoying reading the system, and hope to play it soon.




Original d20 roll? This spell was not based on anything from a d20 system.




Ah, ok.  I thought I had read somewhere that the rolling mechanic was originally a d20, but I guess I'm mistaken.




The list of potential familiars in Novus actually changed several times over the course of the Open Beta, evolving as the system (and the critters in the Creatures section) evolved. And I pretty much just made the list alphabetical since that was easier to make sure I didn't miss anything.




That makes sense.  Thanks a lot for the answer.

The Familiar Spirits table (Novus Deluxe p. 62) lists the familiar in alphabetical order.  Given that it's a 2d10 roll, the results are biased towards the names that lie in the middle of the alphabet (Goat, Hound, Lizard).  Is this a holdover from the original d20 roll?

Would it make sense to place more common familiars types in the middle of the curve?  Alternately, a percentile roll would make the results linear (although I can't find any other cases of percentile rolls in Novus).
