Fixed problem with careers not showing big

spotted problem with Wardancer. Sentence is correct but mistyped and badly explained. There is no option for ANY in strange eons - so the 3rd option is Meant to say ANY, not Tactic. may alter in photoshop/GIMP when i make other changes

Yepesnopes -

i found the special abilities the hardest bit to do (well, that graphics and text, stats are easy as the follow certain rules) do you have any suggestions. Believe it or not that is toned down from the original version!

That is indeed one of the hardest parts. For me was a pain when I was designing careers for the book of the Asur, especially the High Elf wizard path.

What worked for me was play test, discussion in the forums but finally my own taste ;)

I will read the Wardancer career and all the path you have designed and give you my five cents.

Cheers,

Yepes

Due to issues with non original artwork i wont be able to upload the woodelf careers to rpggeek. Will just have to host pdf myself.

Hey,

I have read the Wardancer career path and the Wardancer entries from the Wood elf army list. Here are some thoughts that you may want to consider or just ignore completely. They are only ment as a reflexion.

- The Forest Demon career is listed as a Elite career. It should have four talents slots instead of three. Additionally, Elite careers have between 12 an 13 advances instead of the normal 10. Finally, the "Any" talent slot only appears in careers with the "Heroic" trait. Nevertheless, I don't think it will be game breaking, just out of the "norm".

- After reading the Army book, I would design the tattoos more in line with the Gutplate of the Maneater rather than in line with the Troll Slayer. For example:

Talismanic Tattos: Soak 1, Defence 2, and you may spend fatigue, stress or wounds once per to session to ignore a critical wound.

- As for the Bladesinger, it appears to be some thematic contradiction between the warhammer 3 rpg and the army book. While in the army book they say that wardancers tend to fight with many different weapons, dual swords, two handed, spears… the rpg seems to favour the dual wielding style wardancer. In the army book they say that since they fight with so many different weapons, units of wardancers may add 1 to their Strength and 1 to their attack characteristic. You can for example give a career ability that would be +1 damage to all melee attacks (the same as the giant slayer), although it is a bit boring. You can use the assassin career idea (very nice one) or a variant of it like for example

boon +1 damage

boon boon: +1 damage, perform a free manoeuvre

An option to keep your proposed career ability would be to restric it to a certain type of action cards, for example

boon boon: add the secondary weapon DR to the total melee damage of any melee action card with the Ritual Dance trait.

Although I still think +5 damage is way to much.

I hope this may be interesting for you, but at the end is a matter of styles.

Cheers,

Yepes

Couple options:  

1)  just put a link to the forums there to your hosting site

2) upload the files without the artwork, and list that the files with the artowrk are on your hosting site

GW is very sensitive about everything.  I's surprised that the artwork on DeviatnArt is allowed.  Imgur might be a better direct link hosting site.  Again, anythign that is more permanent than our own computers is probably a good idea for longevity.

Yepesnopes:

Thanks for your suggestions. MY WFB army book is quite old - and there was little on higher ranked wardancers…

I'll probably use most of those suggestions. I hadn't realised that Elite Careers got 4 talents, but then SE doesn't allow 3. But since i would have needed to photoshop ANY in, i may as well stick in a 4th slot!

Emrikol:

Will add a link into the forums as suggested.

The High Elves,Wood Elves and Dark Elves are a long lived species, Teclis has been around longer than 221 years,

Malekth of the dark elves and his mother have been around for over 2000 years. Then you also have the Lady of  the Lake person.

So my question is, do the elves that retreated from the old world still exist on the High Elf island?

Trying to work out why high elves would adventure in the Old World, apart from the Sea Elf traders that is. Thought maybe some may be curious of their old haunting grounds.

From the careers I seen listed you have most of the wood elf ones covered barring the Glade Guardians, Glade riders,  treesingers and wizard/sorcerers/magic users. Did anyone do the beastmaster and his pets?

What High elf careers are missing that could be played by a player?

Handmaidens of the Everqueen, marines.  Cant think of anything more.

How do wood elves and High elves react when near each other?

Doesnt seem to have taken long for the wood elves to have gone from High Elf to Wood elf, 2000 years, think in Elf lifetimes that is. But they went more primitive every quickly. One to five generations, if they live 400 to 2000 odd years.

I wonder what an Elven book would bring to WFRP if they had been created in 2nd ed and 3rd ed.

I did many, including the Handmaidens and a whole path sailor->mate->captain->admiral

Still, when a player of mine wants to play an elf, we work hard on justifying why his character is in the Old World.

Might I suggest a special ability along the lines of

All of your melee attacks gain the following

(Boon)(boon) - Add or remove a recharge token from one of your currently recharging ritual dance actions.

It would be nice to see a career ability tapping into the wardancer career mechanic.

Gotta say though, its all lovely work.

That isn't an issue with GW, it's with the original artists. Unless you have license to use the artwork, it's a copyright violation.

Randomly pulling images off of Google and distributing them isn't kosher, free fan product or not.

Doc, the Weasel said:

I would say if they are in Google they cannot be further distributed. I think it is more a sort of advertisment :p

Opps, must have missed over the Handmaidens. Must have read over it when looking through the Many careers you created.

Here you have

RPGGeek was nice enough to get us a project link for it (Valour of Ages) so that we can link Yepesnope's book of the Asur and everyone else's stuff there, but they wouldn't let us upload it for that reason (non-original art).  They informed me directly that GW is hypersensitive about their artwork moreso than any other company so they alerted us to be wary of that.

Anyways, EVERYONE is allowed to produce stuff on Strange Eons and upload it to the RPGGeek FILES section to help complete the project as much as you want.

Elves are evidently in demand, so if you create some fan stuff, it's likely it will get used by other groups.

One final note about Strange Eons:  Version 2 has WFRP workable stuff.  Version 3 has not been fully adapted yet.

That is akin to saying that it was ok to rob the house because they left the door open.

You shouldn't steal artwork to class up your project, no matter how easy it is.
