Sorry for long delays, I've had a few requests for more stuff to be posted up but as the week gets farther along, I get busier and busier, once Monday rolls around I should be good (ish) to go again. In the mean time, let me throw a couple things out here.
First off, I put
Bounty Hunter in
Medwyn's Bloodhound thread, over here:
http://www.crafty-games.com/forum/index.php?topic=4566.0Next up is
Expanded Fittings, the whole idea of this is taking the Descriptive Armor sidebar one step further, by applying a minor (General Equipment-level) benefit to different fittings as well as different weights and so forth. Some numbers were a little fudged to keep things from being unbalanced in one direction or the other, but that was about the extent of my guidelines going in.
As with normal Descriptive Armor, two or three fittings is Light, four or five is Heavy, and I added another level, Full Fittings, which give the same effects as Heavy as well as +2 Resistances and 1 additional save but have a 1 point worse DP and ACP, as well as a disguise penalty of Obvious
I went through a number of pricing schemes, and there were some that worked better than others, the one I settled on is, admittedly, a little more complicated- each fitting purchased or crafted for a suit of armor increases it's base cost by 10 + (5 * # of fittings already on the armor) silver. This winds up a little more costly but somewhat compensates for the new abilities.
Weight is handled per-fitting and increases the base weight of the armor.
My list of fittings is here, under the spoiler block:
Edit: I hacked that table together a bit, Comp should read Space, there is no 5-fitting limit any longer, just 1 per fitting location (though there are upgrades to circumvent that a little).
Table Below Spoiler:Mismatched fittings don't count toward the "group" for determining what grade of fittings you're wearing and increase ACP by 1, and wearing fittings without torso armor grants benefits and penalties as per their fittings grade, except disguise penalty, which is one "step" lower (Obvious becomes -6, -6 becomes -4, -4 becomes -0).
(Apologies for the haphazard writing, just got in after a run and am heading out again after I'm done writing this up)
I was going to round out armor with Craftsmanships, Materials, and Upgrades, but with my set up designed for ease of use, I've got several Crafty things in there as well, so I will have to redo some of the tables to make them Board-friendly. In the mean time, here are a couple classes:
Dreamwalker (Expert) (This class is an alternate divine caster, in this setting magic comes from the realm of dreams, and the two share several intrinsic connections.)
Requirements: Cannot have any steps in Paths, Cannot have ranks in Spellcasting, Resolve 6+ ranks, The Gift

Unique Aura: At Level 2 you gain Spell Defense equal to 10 + your Career Level and Spell Resistance 2
At Level 7 these increase to Spell Defense 15 + your Career Level and Spell Resistance 5

Second Reality: At Level 10, as long as you get a full night's rest, your natural healing rates double and you're considered to have also received the benefit of any 1 Food or Drink (not counting against your total for the day) and any 1 Community Service except Laundry, Item Repair and Commission, Grooming, or Scribe, and other unique restrictions may apply (A delivery cannot transport anything you cannot give in a dream, and cannot be given to subjects who do not sleep). Also, you gain Stress Resistance 6
