Topic: New Edition
Assuming the authors on the site, or someone else who works on lamentations of the flame princess, I had a few questions I was hoping someone can answer.
1) Ive heard a new edition for lamentations is coming out. Does anyone have a general idea when the release may be?
2) Ive heard clerics will be taken out and their spell list combined with the magic users list. I think thats a great idea and leaves it open ended for you to flavor your magician to be more warlock like, more cleric like, more druid like, etc depending on spells chosen and character theme. I was wondering if that was the intended plan.
3) Will the d6 skill system be kept? Because I absolutely love the straightforwardness of it and actually think its one of the best features of the game. Keeps things super streamlined.
4) Ive heard the author may be planning on doing away with d20 based saving throws that are categorized by the typical posion/deathray/breathweapon etc, and instead will use a d6 for saves much like how skills are handled in the system. Personally I think thats a great idea and (although I love old school systems) I find the old school saving throw methods and their categories incredibly archaic. I think having clerics save better against wands and staffs while thieves save better against poison (for instance) is just an artificial way to make it seem like theres greater variance between the classes when in actuality its pretty arbitrary. At the very least dividing saves into Might/Agility/Mental categories makes a lot more sense. Anyways just my 2 cents that id love to see saves handled differently than in the current edition.
5) Ive heard theres plans to take out demi humans and add them to an appendices as optional. I think thats a great idea since elves, dwarves, and halflings seem really out of place in LOTFP. I would like to see those classes maybe turned into something else though, like dwarves could be reskinned as barbarians, halflings as rangers, and elves as fighter/mage types (which could fill a void left with the cleric class being absent and make playing an Elric type character possible).
Does anyone have any info pertaining to these questions or the new edition?
