It has been a long while since I have really been able to work on Novus. But that has recently changed and I have spent a good bit of the last week or two making changes. And I still have plenty more to make.
Keep reading to see what I have been up to!
I finally finshed reworking the spells last week. I even got them into the pagemaker file.
I have since then begun working through the manuscript updating other items. Here is a partial list of the updates/changes taking place.
- Removing the Boon/Snag system and tables
- renaming the things that you spend Fate Points on as Boons
- Moving the newly renamed Boons out of the Finishing Touches chapter
- adding Boons for dealing Secondary Damage & Wounds
- making changes so that Fate Points are more easily earned (i.e. similar to how Boon Points used to be)
- Fixing skills (changing Unarmed to martial Arts and providing basic styles; fixing Influence so that is a single style of skill (in some places it was treated as a sub-skill and in others as a specialty skill)
- Fixing Training Paths that use Unarmed to match the changes in skills
- Fixing Unarmed in the Combat Chapter
- removing Boon Points and Snag Points from throughout the manuscript
- fixing the Running Novus chapter (i.e. Boons and Snags)
- changing the thresholds for Type II damage, and correcting errors about how it works
- Creating Wound system that also uses Thresholds
- Changing how wounds are calculated (for how many you can receive)
- Update all the creatures to accomodate the other changes made.
I am sure that I am making others as well, but that is all that I can think of at the moment.
