Welcome to the fourth issue of Libram Secundus. In this issue, we are going to expand upon the Money and Equipment section from the core rules.

I have two goals for this issue. The first is to expand the equipment lists to include a number of additional items that will of interest to adventurers. In doing this, I realized that I needed to better balance some of the costs, so I decided to rework all of the costs so that they are more along the lines of quasi-historical costs. I have converted those costs into the monetary system used by the Novus 2e core rules. This has lowered many costs, but raised a few others. It is recommended that you use this system in its entirety, as the costs in this expansion are balanced across the board. Balanced differently than the system in the core rules, I should say.

And for my second goal, I have created a Commerce system as well. This system will allow for haggling for prices. This will allow for players to exercise their trade skills if they should choose. This can also be used for fencing goods that may not do so well on the open markets.

To finish off, I have also created an Armor Creation System that allows for the development of specialized armors. In doing this, I have also reworked the Armors section of equipment using these rules so that they are more along the lines of what would be found in fantasy style setting, such as Anwyn.

Welcome to the third issue of Libram Secundus!

We have packed this PDF with a treasure trove of things to add to your game. This includes 8 new Training Paths, 2 new Combat Moves, 2 new Combat Styles, 23 new spells and 2 new creatures (with 24 variations between the two).

New Training Paths

As mentioned, we have 8 of them, two of each type.

Swashbuckler - A light weapons specialist who likes to combine some acrobatic ability with his combat skills.

Adepts

Minstrel - An entertainer with modest combat abilities. The Minstrel is often able to get into places others might not, as well as gaining both the confidence of and information from those he meets.

Sohei - This is a non-magical Monk, a martial artist. He often focuses on using weapons with his martial arts as if the weapons were extensions of himself.

Hybrids

The rest of the PDF works to support the Training Packages provided. This includes the new Combats Styles, and the 2 new Combat Moves used by those Styles.

Introduction
Welcome to the 2nd issue of Libram Secondus.

This is an open-ended series of PDF products designed to bring you, our valued customer, new rules, guidelines and other game related material in a manner that allows you to pick and choose those elements that you want to add to your game.

Each issue will focus on a single topic or a series of smaller articles focused around one or more related topics, to better serve your gaming needs. Libram Secondus will not be restricted to a standard page count, so you can expect that some issues will contain more pages than others.

LIbram Secudus is the first in a line of small edtions to the core rules of Novus 2e. In this issue we present you with 5 new Player Races that you can enjoy

• Asgerdi - Giant human-like people. They easily stand head and shoulders above most other races.
• Centaurs - These are your standard half-man/half-horse folk.
• Halflings - They call themselves the Omari. These little folk are as tough as you would think.
• Khelez - In the world of Tyrlon, these folk descended from spider-demons who used mighty magics to make themselves more human-like in order to escape an island where infernal creatures were trapped. The ritual worked too well, and the Khelez were born.
• Vsori - Another race from Tyrlon, these small, lithe beings look like elvish gnomes, but they are highly arboreal, prefering to live up in the trees because their original world often had many dangerous predators stalking the ground.
• And of course, we include the Kindred Talents for these 5 races.
