Ruleset - Adattamenti a NwN:EE - DM Artemis - 25-01-2025

Verde: si può fare
Arancione: richiede qualche modifica ma nel complesso si adatta
Rosso: non penso si possa/voglia fare
Grigio: non sono sciura


General
  • Re-balanced XP. The amount of XP to gain levels has been re-adjusted to better mesh with the character wealth by level charts (e.g. Starting gold vs 13.33 encounters of thr appropriate CR's worth of treasure). This means that after 5th level, it requires more than 1000 * level to get the next level. There are also fast and slow XP charts now (x2/3 and x4/3 required/level).

  • Combat Maneuvers. Trip, sunder, etc. have been re-balanced into combat maneuvers that utilize a Combat Maneuver base (usually the same a BAB). When trying to trip a person, you make a Combat Maneuver Attack vs that persons Combat Maneuver Defense. This works like attack vs AC. It's a much improved system and the Advanced Player's Guide [APG] adds some additional maneuvers. So far the combat maneuvers are: trip, sunder, grapple, bull rush, disarm, overrun, drag (pulls a creature), reposition (relocates a creature within your reach), dirty trick (applies short-term conditions), steal (snatches objects from the target).

  • Favored Class. No XP penalty for multiclassing, but a level in your favored class is worth 1 hp or 1 skill point. The APG has additional options based on class and race. E.g.: an half-orc sorcerer may choose to get +1/2 point of damage to fire spells (rounded down). That is, if he chooses this options for two levels, he gets a net +1 damage with fire damage spells. [nota di Sve: limitatamente a 1 hp extra]

  • XP Cost. Item creation feats and spells no longer have XP costs; it's all gold now. [nota di Sve: non penso si voglia]

  • Encounter Level. Better rules for determining CR. Each monster is worth a fixed XP amount to be divided evenly among players. Allows for fine tuning of encounters. [nota di Sve: per farlo si può fare, ma vogliamo?]
Feats
  • Are granted at every odd level. [not really, ma possiamo fare 1-2-4-6-8 etc]

  • Feats like Power Attack are now less flexible but simpler and with better value. Deadly Aim has been introduced to provide the same Power Attack feature with ranged weapons.

  • Cleave is far less circumstantial and became a separate exploit.
  • There are no/fewer dead feats. Toughness gives +1 hp per level (and the first 3 hps are granted upfront at 1st level) so it's useful. Dodge is a plain +1 dodge AC versus all opponents. Skill augmenting feats (like Alertness or Animal Affinity) give +2 to a couple of skills but improve to a +4 if you have 10 ranks in that skill. [Robustezza: è già così tranne che non ne dà 3 insieme, ma sticazzi nell'eventualità di partire dal 3; Schivare: bisognerebbe rifarlo da 0; si potrebbe anche fare ma questo richiederebbe di ricontrollare OGNI riferimento in cdp, prerequisiti etc; in alternativa si tiene così com'è e si dà ANCHE un +1 alla CA generico; Skill: si può fare]
Skill System
  • Some skills have been aggregated. Relevant examples are Perception and Stealth.

  • There is no 1st-level x4-kicker: if you are a Rogue you get (8 + Int modifier) skill points per level. So a 1st level, non-human Rogue with Int 10 has exactly 8 skill points (or 9 if Rogue is her favorite class and she chooses to invest there). This is balanced by the fact that if you have at least one rank in a class skill you get a +3 bonus in that skill.

  • There are no 1/2 ranks. Spending a skill point in cross-class skills gives you a full rank (but you don't get the +3 bonus).

  • Permanent modification to your Intelligence score may cause you to lose or gain skill points.

  • Maximum ranks are equal to your hit dice.
Races
  • Dwarf. +2 Con, +2 Wis, -2 Cha.

  • Elf. +2 Dex, +2 Int, -2 Con. +2 to caster level checks to overcome spell resistance, +2 to Spellcraft checks to identify properties of magic items.

  • Gnome. +2 Con, +2 Cha, -2 Str. Gnome magic tricks based on Charisma. +2 to Perception, +2 to a Craft or Profession skill. [come vogliamo gestirlo col sistema di crafting mondano nostro?]

  • Half-Elf. +2 one ability score. Bonus Skill Focus feat. +2 to Perception. Immune to sleep and +2 to saves versus enchantment effects. 2 favored classes instead of 1. [adattarlo dando 34 punti iniziali per le caratteristiche invece di 30]

  • Halfling. +2 Dex, +2 Cha, -2 Str.

  • Half-Orc. +2 one ability score. +2 to Intimidate. One last round as disabled when brought below 0 hit points.

  • Human. +2 one ability score. +1 Feat at level 1. +1 skill point per level. [adattarlo dando 34 punti iniziali per le caratteristiche invece di 30]
[*]Classes
  • More Options. Most classes have a list of specific class features from which you can cherry-pick from (like the 3.5e's Rogue talent, but much more varied and awarded starting at much lower levels). Expect more diverse characters. [da controllare classe per classe]

  • Class Features. All class features' save DCs goes up with level (10 + 1/2 class level + ability mod.). Monster's saves are not generally sky-high, so the features have a chance to connect.

  • Very Few Dead Levels. Most empty lines in the class tables have been filled up with something. Some full casters (Clerics, Sorcerers and Wizards) still have levels where the only new feature is a new spell slot. [da controllare classe per classe]

  • Caster Level. All caster classes have caster level equal to their level. [non mi è chiaro come debba funzionare per ranger e paladini]

  • Cantrips and Orisons. 0-level spells now are more like at-will abilities. Wizards/Clerics/Druids memorize them as normal, but casting them doesn't make the caster forget the spell. Sorcerers have infinite 0th level slots but limited known.

  • Hit Dice. Some classes have been promoted (bolded, below)
    • d12: Barbarian
    • d10: Fighter, Paladin, Ranger
    • d8: Bard, Cleric, Druid, Monk, Rogue
    • d6: SorcererWizard
[*]Barbarian
  • Rage. More flexible: counted in rounds per day, rather than times per day.

  • Rage Powers. Their ability list encompasses powers (a bit more powerful than feats) usable only during rage.

  • Damage Reduction. Is awarded earlier and goes up better.

[*]Bard
  • HD: d8.

  • Bardic Knowledge. Simply adds 1/2 level to Knowledge skills and lets a Bard perform Knowledge checks even if untrained.

  • Bardic Performance. Better/more clear rules on types of performances that count for bardic performance. Expanded list of performances; some of them escalate with level. Deadly performance as 20th level capstone. The Perform skill ranks requirement has been dropped.

  • Versatile Performance. For a Bard, each Perform skill can act as a double for two other skills (e.g.: Perform (Act) can be used in place of a Bluff or Disguise check, Perform (Percussion) in place of a Handle Animal or Intimidate check). This does not mean he has to actually play an instrument, but simply that he can use the skill bonus of another skill.

  • A Knack with Skills. Bards have diverse new features that interact with skills. From being able to ignore the trained requisite, gaining all skills as class skills, and taking 10 even when not allowed, up to taking 20 on Knowledge checks up to 3 times per day.

  • Good Feat Support. Arcane Strike and other feats allow a Bard to become much more effective in armed combat. So you're not dead weight or a fifth wheel.

[*]Cleric
  • Proficiency. They are no longer proficient with heavy armor.

  • Domain Powers. Increased in power and have level-dependent effects (usually a second ability that kicks in at 6-8th). The most frequent powers granted at 1st level are touch or range attacks that deal about 1d6 + 1/2 cleric level. The benefit of +1 to caster level on related spells is no longer a given.

  • Channel Energy. The old turn/rebuke became a 30 ft. burst of positive or negative energy that heals or inflicts 1d6/odd level damage to nearby creatures. Feats allow you to selectively exclude targets. Channel feats as normal (but the list of feats is pretty different). Turn and rebuke are not a default for Clerics; they have to acquire the relevant feat.

[*]Druid

  • Wild Shape. Awarded earlier and its usages per day go up more frequently. At 20th level Druids can wild shape at will. All shapechange spells are more precise in what abilities you gain. Physical stats of the wild shape comes as a bonus to character's ones: not as a replacement. This goes along with a complete overhaul of the form-shifting spells.

  • Animal Companion. Can be substituted for access to a Cleric domain (and domain spells) chosen among Air, Animal, Earth, Fire, Plant, Water, and Weather. The animal companion option, however, is pretty good.

[*]Fighter

  • Retraining. At 4th and every other 4th level thereafter, a fighter can trade out a bonus feat he has for a new one as long that old feat isn't being used as a prerequisite.

  • Bravery. A bonus to Will saves vs fear that goes up with level.

  • Weapon Training. Bonuses on weapon groups (a +1 to attack and damage that goes up to +4 at 17th level). Additional weapon group training is awarded later with decreasing bonuses (like the Ranger's favored enemy). At 20th chooses a weapon and gain +1 to critical multiplier, automatic threat confirmation and immunity to disarm with that weapon.

  • Armor Training. Reduces armor check penalty and increases maximum Dexterity bonus (both advantages go up with level up to +4). No speed reduction in medium armor; and later, none in heavy armor either. At 19th damage reduction 5/- when armored or wielding a shield.


[*]Monk
  • Flurry of Blows. Treated as two weapon fighting with no off hand and BAB equal to Monk level instead of 3/4 level. At 20th his flurry breakdown is +18/+18/+13/+13/+8/+8/+3. Can use combat maneuvers instead of attacks with a CMA equal to the above BAB.

  • Maneuvers. After 3rd level, uses Monk level instead of BAB for combat maneuvers.

  • Bonus Feats. Awarded at 1st, 2nd, 6th, 10th, 14th, and 18th from a custom list (narrower than the Fighter's one).

  • Ki Pool. Is a set of ki points that increase with level. Ki points could be expended for additional attacks or temporary bonus to AC, and later to fuel supernatural abilities such as incredible jumps, self-healing, dimension door or etherealness.


[*]Paladin
  • Channel Energy. As a good Cleric, but relies on Lay on Hands uses instead.

  • Smite Evil. Lasts the entire fight, provides a bonus to AC too, and hurts evil dragons and evil outsiders more. Up to 7 times per day at 19th.

  • Divine Bond. Either a special mount or a holy spirit that inhabit and buffs the Paladin's weapon.

  • Lay on Hands. Numbered uses per day that increase with level. Each use cures 1d6/odd level. Standard action on others, free action on self.

  • Mercies. Additional rider effects on Lay on Hands that removes fell conditions (cure disease, remove curse, remove blindness/deafness, etc.).

  • Aura. Additional auras (of Justice, of Resolve, etc.) automatically granted at certain level. They grant additional bonuses and options to self and allies within 10 ft.

  • Spells. Now are Charisma-based; Wisdom is no longer a favorite ability for Paladins.

  • Holy Champion. At 20th level Paladin heals maximum amount of damage (60) with Lay on Hands or Channel Energy, and Smite Evil banishes the target if it is an evil outsider.


[*]Ranger
  • HD: d10.

  • Favored Enemy. The granted bonus to damage is not precision-based (it is meaningful against creatures immune to critical hits and at any range).

  • Combat Style. At 2nd, 6th, 10th, 14th and 18th picks a bonus feat from a list that is tied to the chosen style. Styles are two-weapon combat or archery; APG adds crossbow, mounted combat, natural weapon, two-handed weapon, and weapon and shield.

  • Hunter's Bond. Either an animal companion (which is no longer a worse version of the Druid's) or the ability to grant allies half the Ranger's damage and to hit bonus vs favored enemies.

  • Quarry. Select a designated foe. Can track at full speed and gets extra combat bonus against.

  • Favored Terrain. Can select favored terrains (such as forest, cold, urban, underground, etc.) that grant bonuses on initiative and some skills. Up to 4 terrain types at 18th level.

  • Master Hunter. 20th level capstone feature grants a possible death attack once per day against each favored enemy type (doesn't matter if the target is quarry or not).

[*]Rogue
  • HD: d8.

  • Rogue Talent. Every even level they can cherry pick a rogue-specific trick. Talents are divided in normal (2nd to 8th) and advanced (10th to 20th). Many of these talents kick in when applying sneak attack damage.

  • Trapfinding. A plain +1/2 level to Perception and Disable Device skill checks relating to traps. They also can disable magic traps.

  • Trap Sense. An increasing dodge bonus (up to +6) to AC and Reflex against trap attacks.

  • Master Strike. 20th level capstone is a death, paralysis or sleep effect delivered through every sneak attack.


[*]Sorcerer
  • HD: d6.

  • Bloodline. Sorcerers select a bloodline at 1st level (like arcane, draconic, fey, etc.). Each bloodline provides 5 powers (including the 20th level capstone), a list of spells that are automatically added to the Sorcerer's repertoire, and a knack with certain kind of spells.

  • No Familiar. Except for the arcane bloodline.

[*]Wizard
  • HD: d6.

  • Arcane Bond. Either a familiar or a bonded object (ring, wand, staff, etc.). The object allows casting of a spell in spellbook 1/day even if you haven't memorized it.

  • Arcane School. A specialist Wizard must use two slots to memorize a spell from an opposed school (select two). Each specialization brings two additional abilities at 1st level, plus another that kicks in at 6th or 8th. Universalist Wizards also gain one ability at 1st level (a minor telekinesis) and the ability to apply a metamagic feat on a spell on the fly at 8th.
