Well there are all the problems that 1.2 has that I've mostly hit up on in the doc already.
Level cap idea: Interesting I guess depending on how it's done, but really it probably isn't needed.
Also, as of what you've said in that one post, doesn't that mean all player's go GT at level 11.

Wait, what?
Your link is broken.

The doc for the Sylladex Cards has restricted access.

Don't you need your Defensive Power for your first Suit?

You aren't required to make a power for armors, unless I'm much mistaken.

You are.

If you're going to rules lawyer a game you have no intention of playing - in the game's in character thread, rather than the OOC thread - then it might be worthwhile to actually read the ruleset we're using. It took me 10 seconds to find this with ctrl+F.

Armor cards do not necessarily grant a Power, and the Powers they do grant have a wider variety of uses. However, they are always Encounter usage powers.

I don't know what it said in the 1.1 doc, but I have an old downloaded version of the 1.2 doc and the latest rev on Google Docs, and it's been this way a while now.

Ah, sorry, I was posting from my phone. I didn't mean for it to sound so curt.

Anyway, that is indeed different from the 1.1 doc, and might have been changed? Although, the entire point of Alchemy mechanic has to do with having the cards, just like with Gamma World's Mutations and Tech cards. I mean, I guess just having passives is cool, it's just sort of boring.

Anyway here's the quoted section from 1.1

Much like weapon cards, defensive alchemy is composed of two parts. One part is a broad Collectible benefit that is gained from collecting the item and wearing it regardless of it’s presence in your Sylladex hand, the other is a Power that can be used only as a card in your Sylladex hand.... The Power created by Defensive alchemy has no set template, as nearly every component is subject to change, however it will always be set to an ENCOUNTER usage.

And depending on what that downloaded version of 1.2 is (who am I kidding all of the 1.2 beta versions were horseshit, that we made), it's awful and I wouldn't trust it.

Sorry for bothering you about it.

You should probably fix the Alchemy table with relation to how the Basic Weapon's Precision and Damage is unmatchable.
Slightly confusing on my wording, I think? Example time, should help us both.

Light 2H Ranged Kind - Precision +3, [W] - 2d4
Heavy 2H Rangedkind - Precision +2, [W] - 1d12

It costs Light 2H RK 2 Alchemy Points to become +3 2d4, while it takes Heavy 2H RK 3 Alchemy Points to do the same.
This is, of course, unbalanced.

There are probably more of the same of this, I'm just tired.

I do not quite like what I see from DnD Next.
I think the Martial Classes need some cool high-level maneuvers.
Where are the eye gougings? Where are the hamstrings. I want to be able to have my fighter give out conditions dammit.
