RPGNow Countdown

RPG Countdown (12 August 2009; #6)

Rules Set: 4E (GSL)

Get to know your character!

Player Options: Flaws and Merits provides an opportunity to get in depth when developing or growing or character.  This new option allows you to choose flaws and merits based on your character role with solid game mechanics to back up the role-play.  Do you have a remorseful warlord or a  befuddled, aged wizard?  Are you a thrillseeking rogue with a brutal streak or a druid wishing to teach others the skills they need to survive?

This product provides Players and Game Masters with the following for thrilling play:

  • A full description of how merits and flaws work, including additional reward options for outstanding role-play.
  • 52 flaws - a new type of mechanic for getting extra feats.
  • 28 Merits - a new type of feat that can only be taken when you first take a flaw.
  • 24 Flaw and Merit combinations for all the 4th Edition GSL character builds.
  • Advice on how to adjust the flaw and merit system to suit you gaming style.

This is where role-play and statistics collide.

 

Writer: Joshua Raynack

A great addition to any home brewing session but the rules may seem a bit strange at first, players may want to take more flaws and no merits or opt out of regular feats for merits. Follow the rules in the pdf and no serious issues should arise. Not co [...]

This is by far one of the best 3rd party resources for 4th edition. This resource introduces a small extension to the 4th edition rules that lets players choose flaws for their character in exchange for receiving an extra feat. Both the flaws and merit [...]

Anyone familiar with the GURP system will recognise this idea but I think that it is a better format here. In GURPS you get enough disadvantages to buy the advantages you want. Not with this format. Pick a flaw and then you can have a merit that affect [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
