This is a minor update with the changes I made to the Rogue sneak attack, some layout adjustments and some minor rules clarifications and prices for hats (The people I play with often want to buy hats). It's not a big release and I didn't comb through it. I also dropped the light crossbow because I didn't like having it as a light weapon (will all that implies rules wise) and there was no real need for two crossbows in the heavy weapon section.
This is basically state of the art Beacon until I get the document proofed by someone other than myself - that will either be a 6th draft or Beacon 1.0 - the good version.
Download Beacon 5.2.
Just started reading through the latest update (5.2) and found this,
ReplyDelete"In addition to a race, players must choose a class for their character. The class determines how they"
, under the "Classes" heading. It just ends as if it has been cut off.
Will identify any further discrepancies as I read through the document.

I can only read in short amounts due to real life, but this also caught my attention,
Delete"When a character is in a situation where they are going to take damage (from a weapon hit or any other non-specific damage) they can choose to instead spend HP to avoid taking some all of that damage."
Should it read, "... to avoid taking some or all of that damage."?
I guess since you didn't ask for proofreading this may seem knit-noid, so let me know if you want me to cease and desist.

no thats great, i appreciate the extra eyes. ill fix those.
DeleteBottom of pg11. "That means they going to be easier to hit (their DEX bonus goes down)," should read, "That means they're going...."
ReplyDeleteTop of pg13. "Spell casters can cast any spell with a spell level to equal or below ½ their class level, rounded up." should read, "... level equal to or below..."
Like I said, going through it slowly at present.

Well, from the rules section, the only other thing I found was, "It can usually only be obtained through less-than-reputable sources, as the possession of poisons are commonly illegal" in the poison section. There was a missing "." (period) at the end of the sentence.
ReplyDeleteThe last thing I found I would like to send to you privately... but I can't seem to find an email address.
I have always loved Beacon and it is amazing what a great rules set you have made of it. Very nice!

Thanks Bane, I'll get to those fixes this week and I added a contact form on the about page.
DeleteNo problem. Private email sent. Again great stuff. Hope to get to run some Microlite/Beacon soon... hopefully.
