Revised Battlelords Playtest v4 OUT!
You guys really wore me out with all the comments on this one, which is good. Version 3 was the first version people were actually playing with. Many people provided a number of good examples that were so useful in clarifying their opinion that I added them to the document. There is no way anyone will be able to say we do not listen to our users :)
Unlike previous versions, I was not able fit all of the feedback in this version. The remaining feedback changes will be added to the next version, but do not let that stop you from cannot commenting. I will also be working on reviewing all the skill descriptions, so look for that stuff next version. There was just so much feedback I had to stop somewhere and push the rest off to v5.
Highlights:
- broken document into players guide and BM guide documents (both of these also have a version with changes from the previous document highlighted)
- skills are back to 10% per level (except weapons/gunner which are 5%/level)
- we are NOT implementing to-hit for matrices
