Ah, the Training Packages feature isn't ready yet. How soon do you think it'll be?
The current version has a "Buy TP" button, but it only asks for a name an cost, to reduce the remaining DPs during level up and adds the Name to a "TPs Purchased" Section. You have to manually assign the ranks.
The best way to accelerate the coming of the improved TP feature is to
vote on the poll if you haven't already.
In any case, I have several commitments that won't allow me to release a new version (except of course in case critical bugs are detected) until the end of May.
And when you 'eventually add packages for all the different companions', will this be a separate purchase or included in the ERA Character Law? Will this include the extra Professions from the still licensed books as well?
As stated in the poll, once the feature is added to the product, I intend to gradually add that information to all the packages that have TPs. The upgrade is always "free", since you just re-download the new version for all packaged previously purchased.
Are the skills from the SoHK included or will that be a future purchase? (and will the specific Static Manoeuvre Tables from the SoHK be used or just the generic RMFRP Static table?)
I think all the skills and maneuver tables from SoHK are already included in the RMFRP Character Law package. So that leaves an open question. What will we offer to those who want SoHK professions (and eventually TPs)?
I did a quick check on the RPGNow site and I was pleased to see the Mentalism, Fire & Ice, Construct Companion from RMFRP and the Essence, Channeling, Arcane Companions from RMSS are still available - will the Professions and Training Packages from them be updates or extra purchases? Unfortunately, the Martial Arts Companion was absent so I'll have to add those if anyone in the party will need them and it will be the generic MA Ranks 1-4 OB's.
When each package is released you get all the content of the book, for all the stuff supported in ERA. I tried to detail all of that in the
package poll.
Hey, don't worry about martial arts that much. All the skills in the Martial Arts Companion are already included in the free base product.
You will only be missing the spell lists, professions, training packages, background options, attack tables and criticals. Come to think of it, that's a lot of content lost! Is there no way to release a booklet with the old rules, so that I can then offer them in ERA?
The Product Descriptions and your reply didn't specifically mention the extra professions in the '...of Channelling/Mentalism/Essence' so I just wanted to confirm that they are included.
The Spell Law package does not include any profession. All of the professions in Spell Law are included in the Character Law package.
From your YouTube videos, it looks like you're using the Combat Companion's 'armour by the piece' system instead of the generic AT's - is that only available for the RMC version? Although it was a RMC Companion, that particular chapter was also compatible with RMFRP.
The videos showing Combat Companion content are older footage using my group's ruleset. I have coded it for us, but I can't offer it for sale because ICE is not offering the book anymore.
I have all the RMFRP books (and the RMSS books that weren't rebranded for RMFRP) and will be starting a campaign in the next few months and just wanted to know which Professions and Training Packages I need to withhold from the players.
If you are willing to dirty your hands and edit the XML files, no profession is off-limits. The same goes for spell lists, attack tables, etc. If you have the books, and head over to the
advanced customization thread, we can help you get everything you need into the application.
