The Update

Update #38 · Jan 30, 2013 · 6 comments
Folks.
This weekend, a new beta PDF went up on the rule of cool site. This is the last beta release prior to 1.0, so it's a pretty big deal. We're closing in on a viable release finally, though after our previous setbacks, it's hard to talk solid dates comfortably. I can't tell you what an honor your faith and patience has been. Together, we've made one of the best middle-range RPGs.
Your friend,
Jake

      DOH! I guess I just needed to keep reading. The Base Ref, Will, and Fort numbers are on the charts for each class. Then I noticed a line earlier that sort of mentioned this. I may just be dumb, but I think that could be made clearer on page 14 where you are explaining how to calculate the saving throws.

      Hopefully not too dumb a question, but how do I login to thr RuleofCool.com website to leave comments? I can't figure out how to get a WordPress login for the site.

      Also possibly another dumb question, but after supporting the KS ages ago. I finally have time to sit down and read past the first 10 pages of the manual, and I have a basic question.

      The calculation for three secondary stats (fort, will, reflex) include in them a "base X bonus", where X=the name of the stat. But where do I find those base bonuses? I only see a BAB chart. Is that chart also used for Base Reflex, Will, and Fort Bonuses?

      Hmm. I don't have the older one handy and no differences stood out. Thanks!
