Hey everyone, I'm pleased to announce that version 2 of the Heroes of Adventure Players Handbook has now been released.
What's different from version 1?
- A much 'cleaner' layout
- Expanded to 20 character classes (but removed careers)
- More class abilities
- More spell domains and spells (with lot's of clarifications and simpler presentation)
- New look character sheet (simple and clear)
- Revised the crafting and alchemy system (simpler with a risk/reward element)
- Updated artwork - now settled on a particular 'style' for the books
- Rule tweaks - no major changes but some simplification, clarification and general tidying up
- New Hero Background creation process (generate a brief backstory with a few rolls of the dice)
- New Hero Persona creation process (generate a hero's look/feel/motivation with a few rolls of the dice)
I would like to thank several members of the Heroes of Adventure community for reviewing and providing feedback on the drafts prior to this release (thanks Azaule, Lekkis, Logen_Nein & Greymark). I should add that Greymark went above and beyond in helping me refine and polish this book, his help was very much appreciated.
