Novus 2nd Edition
Novus 1st Edition
Welcome to the seventh issue of Libram Novus. In this issue, we are going to start off with rules for creating your own races, and then show you how we made the PC and monster races for Novus, and then to round things out we will give you a couple of example races made using these same rules.
Some of the new races we give you make for good monster races, so we give you the monster stat blocks for them as well.
Then we introduce Kindred Talents. This is a system that allows the GM to make specific racial talents for his setting, allowing such things as a Half-Dwarf/Half-Gnome or a Lizardman/Halfling/Human crossbreed, or many other possible combinations. We round this out by giving you examples for 14 races (PC and Monster), and give you a very Special Kindred Talent, the Dragon-kin!
Enjoy!

Welcome to the eighth issue of Libram Novus.
We start off by presenting you with a group of options that can be used to enhance your game. These options run the gamut from being a way of encouraging players to have reasons why their characters travel together to an expansion of the Action Point rules.
Then we round out the issue by presenting you with an alternative manner of creating and defining Combat Styles. This gives them a bit more oomph! and makes them a bit more interesting overall.

Welcome to the tenth issue of Libram Novus.
In this issue we go back to school. And the name of the class we are attending is Alchemy 101. In this issue we will go over the various specialties of the Magecraft skill required for crafting magical items and go into how such items are made using the rules.
And finally we will end up with an updated listing of the magical items from the core Novus book where these rules have changed the way that they are made.
Enjoy!

Welcome to the eleventh issue of Libram Novus.
In this issue we bring you an alternative to the standard Combat Moves and Combat Styles found in the core Novus rules.
These alternatives also bring a host of smaller changes to the system, such as the implementation of Damage Caps, and additional weapons, and even minor changes to many classes to compensate for the new lack of Combat Moves.
Enjoy!
