[Review] Fantasy Craft Adventure Companion

Hats off to Doublebond. All you whiners owe him an adult beverage.

I might buy him a beer, but I'm keeping those four hours... on my mantle... like a trophy...

Question: is there a class that doesn't have notice on its skill list? If there isn't, then I'm not sure of the logic behind giving the C&D's Fulminarius specialty Notice as a bonus Origin skill

I can't think of any, unless the upcoming Spellbound classes are notice-free?

I pondered the same thing a couple pages back.

[Doublebond]

page 64 of the core confirms there are no core classes that don't have notice.

My only complaint about the Adventure Companion is that I was hoping for some bits for Epic-level play (God of War-esque). Perhaps I was mistaken to think that those rules were going show up this time around.

Are the master classes not "epic level play"? I thought that was the point of them?

I understand there is an entire supplement (and setting) planned for just that style of game. They were talking about the philosophy behind it at one point; instead of adding 10 more levels to the game you simply raise the baseline or something.

i.e. Level one becomes much more epic and the whole scale moves up to accommodate it.

I wrote that entire chapter, btw. And Chapter 1. And Chapter 2. And parts of 3. So I take full responsibility/flames/accolades for this thread 

What parts did Mark work on?

Mark added a few new critters to Sunchaser.

One question though (not mechanics related) for the species feat where Saurians get the bite II attack (the one that turns them into gatorman, basically. AFB at the moment). What is the in-setting rationale for them losing their tail attack (i.e. mechanics wise that makes sense, but does their tail drop off or something, because as I recall, gators have huge tails)?

The rationale is they are not able to whip it around. From a balance perspective, their bite attack becomes one of the most powerful natural attacks available to a PC at III (that's 2d8+str lethal, FTR), without other feats or classes coming into it.

Godspawn was supposed to be just that, but was removed from the AC because it needed too many rule twists (if I remember Alex's words). Maybe it will return some time later. Personally, I can't wait!

Cool!

[Typhon]

Again, I wished you guys had sorted out the new species feats into sub groups of each specie. A serious pain to have to filter through them all to find the ones that pertain to whatever specie I'd be playing.

Does this work for you?

It's open for editing. If anyone wants to add page numbers they can feel free to.

Very nice! I'm sure anyone trying to make a dwarf/orc/elf/any race that has 12 subraces scattered through that list lol and wanting to know all his optioons will appriciate that.     If I see ya at GenCon I'll take ya to The Ram for a beer!

I've added this list to the Wiki here as well. I added in all the options, not just the feats that explicitly state which species can take them (though I'm missing some from FC which I don't have at work with me).
