Just a quick message to say I've just posted the final word of the 5-year-long Spycraft 2.0 campaign I've been playing online with three of my players. Almost half as much have joined the campaign at some point and left before the end, but I'm quite proud to say we've finished 7 very long scenarios, and achieved a weird transition from World on Fire to something that looks a lot like Dark Inheritance in the very end. I'm a bit sad we couldn't enjoy the WoF faction supplement, but it was still a fun world to play in. If I ever find the time, I'll post an abstract of each scenario and of the campaign as a whole. But right now, I'm just both ecstatic and sad it's over.

Thanks Crafty for this great, great game! And I hope -- no I know -- 3rd Edition will be even better! 

Right. I should finish the PDF as well. I'll check it and get back to you guys.

Although they are in a full document, there are a few Master Classes in the Eberron and Iron Kingdoms Conversion Guides (the only ones I translated in English yet). Ozcorn and I have also reworked the Artificer as an Expert Class. As I said, I'm not that fond of new Base Classes ...

Animal Partner can't be temporary.

If you just count total feats there are 24 Pathfinder feats (B/M/S across 8 terrain) which is a pretty significant number.

Nope, only 10. Mastery and Supremacy apply to all the Pathfinder Basics feats you have.

A lot of it is in French, but we have a few houserules and game aids in English for Mastercraft on le Scriptorium: http://www.le-scriptorium.com/index.php?page=mastercraft

It's mostly meant for the Pathfinder Basics feat, and then it works perfectly, because it has no prerequisites and the increased travel speed really becomes useful (since the whole group can now travel faster). Night fighting isn't a bad choice either.

I agree with your concern. However, I don't see this particular gamebreaker as a real gamebreaker anyway. Even before the Adventure Companion came out, I hoped to see this one as a feat that would be accessible early on. Maybe in a more limited way, but still ... So, considering that I really don't want my dragon-like or drake PCs to have to wait Level 14 to be able to blend in with the party when necessary, what would you suggest?

Absolutely, it's not made for any type of campaign. But in Sunchaser, for instance, I might want to play an actual, big, bad dragon.

[Great Wurm]

Yeah, I can't really get over Truly Massive. As I understand it, the main problem with this feat was about gear, mostly armors and weapons. So why not limiting it to Drakes? Since they're Beasts, they already can't use weapons!

Great Wurm
You've had centuries to grow and become one of the most terrifying beasts of the known world.
Prerequisites: Drake, Level 1 only
Benefit: Your Size increases to Huge (4x4) with a Reach of 2. You also gain thick hide 3 but you may not wear any other type of armor.
Special: When you gain this feat, you may reduce any of your attributes by 2 to gain an additional Species feat with the requirement "Level 1 only".

Dracosire
You have seen humanoid civilizations drift by and being carried away by the winds of time for millenia.
Prerequisites: Great Wurm, Level 1 only
Benefit: Your Size increases to Gargantuan (6x6) with a Reach of 3 and you gain 2 additional Interests. However, you suffer from burden of ages (see Fantasy Craft, page 13).
Special: When you gain this feat, you may reduce any of your attributes by 2 to gain an additional Species feat with the requirement "Level 1 only".

Alter Ego
After centuries of living among folks, you have learned to mingle with them.
Prerequisites: Great Wurm
Benefit: You may dedicate at least 1 hour of Downtime to adopt the shape of a typical member of 1 smaller humanoid species (your choice, made permanently when you gain this feat). You also need 1 hour of Downtime to change back. Otherwise, this ability is identical to the Dragonlord's dragonshape ability (see Adventure Companion, page 119). If you ever gain this ability later, you are entitled to adopt the shape of 2 different humanoids.

What do you think? Is it completely unbalanced? What would you change? 

I agree(d). But I did try the Path concept and it didn't work out very well, at least I didn't feel it did.

Half the point of the thread is to mention what Expert Class concepts we think we'd also like to see as Base Class concepts.

I know, I know. It's just that there is nothing I'd like to see as Base Class. There are already quite a lot of them and I wouldn't like to see too many more. But that may be just me. On the other hand, I feel there are many Expert and Master classes that could be done.

That's something I've been actually looking at for an adaptation of Monte Cook's WoD to Mastercraft. Although I'm still waiting for 10kB because it may change a few pivotal things about it.

Other than that, I can see all the others as Expert Classes.

Mostly 1/day becomes 1/scene or a number of times per session equal to starting action dice, except for very strong abilities, which become 1/session. 1/week almost always becomes 1/adventure. That's how I deal with it anyway.

Anyway... Do Saving Throws work for Priests the same as for any other Caster? Normally this is 10 + Charisma Modifier + Spellcasting Feats... if so his Spells are laughably easy to resist. He is low on Charisma - more of a combatant - and will lose even one point when he gains Elemental Legacy.

Yes they do. And yes, Charisma is important for Priests as well.

Also the description of how Divine Magic works mentioned that a Priest may use one Spellcasting Trick without cost. I assumed, and ruled so for now, that this also means they have to have the Spellcasting Feat in question. I hope that this is correct or did I bungle up?

That's correct. You still have to have the feat, which also boosts your spells save DCs, so it's not such a bad thing.

what brought you guys into Spycraft (why the Spycraft game/books)

Quite simple, I wanted to play an espionage game and I was a bit sick of James Bond at the time. So I looked for something else, found Spycraft, and became a lost cause. Ten years of active fanaticism since then, including four years of online campaign mastering (http://forum.le-scriptorium.com/index.php?showforum=83)!
