Novus 2e / Hope everyone is well
« on: March 28, 2020, 12:08:28 PM »
Glad to hear! All is well here. Family is in isolation. No small feat with a 6 & 8 year old and the winter grudgingly hanging on here.

Novus 2e / Boons & Snags?

Cool- especially for the Beta, less might be more.

I don't think you really need to expand on fate points yet. Why not roll fate points and boon points into the same thing? Just a thought.

I think that they overlap enough that you could remove them.

Novus 2e / Spells question
« on: February 20, 2020, 12:26:42 PM »
I have always liked the idea of the per rank "spell as a skill" approach. Keeps scaling easy. As a thought though, maybe scaling is tied to lore not to skill?

Novus 2e / Roll20 - Novus
« on: July 30, 2019, 09:46:34 AM »
Agreed. You can change the map to hex based too if you want- I just left it on squares. I think I was envisioning a "lite" novus presented for use in roll20; so, you'd color code your AB, DT, and Hits to coordinate with the "bubbles" on a character. Almost like a version that has character creation stripped out of it and is a plug and play intro to dice rolling and your world.

Novus 2e / Racial Talents
« on: July 01, 2019, 01:37:55 AM »
One thing I do using Novus & Hero System is give pool of Racial Talents and let the players choose 2 or 3 of them. That way not all elves have the exact same talents. That would be a fun thing to do in a setting.

Novus 2e / Lantyr - potential default setting
« on: June 20, 2019, 11:41:54 AM »
I like it. My time is at a premium right now but as you develop stuff further I'll try and hash out adventure hooks based on locales.

Looks great! I may purchase that program for myself. Did you find it intuitive to use?

Novus 2e / Should Balls, Bolts, and Cones be separate spells?
« on: May 09, 2019, 10:44:39 AM »
Seems good. I suspect you'll have to keep your eye on it through playtest. I like how it's kind of an investment; not great out of the gate, but something that is worth developing over time.

One of the things I've learned from watching D&D evolve and Rolemaster not is how important it is to make magic available.

I'd do
X Arc
CTN: 16 Fatigue: 1
vs. DT Range: 5' Arc (90 Degrees)
Caster is able to focus magical energy to create an Arc Attack within a 90 degree arc in front of the caster. Only one attack (Targeting) roll is made, and the result is applied against all targets within Range.
Scaling Options
Per additional 45 degrees +2 CTN +1 Fatigue
