P.S.
Stay tuned for more exciting Cresthaven news and updates in the coming weeks!
1) Yes it makes sense 🙂
2) Love the art. Sort of a Dark Souls vibe.
3) First page, link to the Char Sheet or list what page it’s on
4) I actually really like the class restrictions, reminds me of AD&D
5) Draco – those are some really heavy light penalties! These would keep me from playing them.
6) Love the class summary on page 16!
7) I would give Barbarian and Cavalier some special abilities at Level 1 like the other classes
8) Page 25 – may just be me, but results of Turn Undead don’t make sense, three results for Succeed
9) Page 32 – assassin is spelled wrong 🙂
Thanks for giving us a sneak peek!
Thank you for the feedback! On point 7, their initial bonuses are better hit percentages and more hit points.
Greetings! I’ve spent some time on the play test document and here’s my thoughts about it!
Cresthaven can’t escape its own destiny as another heartbreak Fantasy system, which truly it’s not a bad thing at all! It could be used as an advantage as it may derive from the main source of inspiration.
Let’s see some examples:
Level squish! It would be nice to keep the level range from 1 to 10 offering alternative leveling system above the indicated levels
Offer “something” at each level, even an advantage to something is better than a level gap (with the exception of Paladin & rangers who gains a couple of signature skills)
Personally, I’m using the mentality of E6 The game inside the world’s most popular roleplaying game and it works like a charm! Heroes keep their feet in the ground without sacrificing the notion of leveling
Best of luck to your new endeavor!
Thank you for the feedback! The class features die down after 4th level as character growth changes from class to more wealth and magical items. At that point the game changes dramatically. Even the experience points grow exponentially as to show that the growth slows dramatically, instead shifting to experience.
