Classic Fantasy editions


Recommended Posts

Hi, crossposted from the BRPS FB group :)!

I Have a question about Classic Fantasy (for BRPS). I noticed that one of my players' copy has a different text from mine. I guess his must be a later edition (although they're both (c) 2009) as it has better layout and a section on miniatures. However there is also a big substantive difference in the Spell Lore table. That is, to use Uncommon spells you need to have at least 100% in the skill, whereas in my copy you just need to have 80%. I think mine is more reasonable both with respect to the starting Classic Fantasy skill level (about 50%) and the mapping with D&D: Uncommon spells correspond to the 3rd level spells, so about 6th level characters -> 75-90% skill range. What do you think? And what is the history behind these two versions? (I might have known back then but 15 years have passed!)

I am especially curious about the latter as I have more or less made my mind up about the former...

Thanks in advance,

Alex

I don't know if Classic Fantasy authors are on this forum, but I think you can ask the publisher of the Mythras version, @lawrence.whitaker.

He certainly doesn't have the anwer, but at least he's in touch with the authors.

Edit : as a matter of fact, maybe you could get some of your answers in the (free) Mythras Imperative version of CF.

Don't blame yourself, I suspect they were already mixed up. 😉

I'm surprised I got that right before coffee.

Rod Leary's the one you need for this. However, he's not been too well lately, so that delay any answer you're seeking.

Thanks! It was more of a curiosity anyway. Wishing Rod a speedy recovery!

I hope it's nothing serious. Best wishes towards him.
