Character Generation

Character generation is by the book. See the resources below for classes and options and whatnot.

Resources

Generally speaking, all the below sources are in with no/minimal review from me. If you find something you're interested in in another source, let me know, I don't mind using more content from third party books or homebrew or whatever.

  • Classes
    • Core books are, naturally, 100% in:
      • 13th Age Core Rulebook (Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer, Wizard)
      • 13 True Ways (Chaos Mage, Commander, Druid, Monk, Necromancer, Occultist)
      • Book of Demons (Demonologist)
    • By the same authors, 13th Age Glorantha has usable stuff that needs little/no porting:
      • Five new classes (Berserker, Earth Priestess, Hell Mother, Humakti, Trickster)
      • Five "transformation" classes, new takes on existing classes (Orlanthi Warrior [Barbarian], Rebel [Rogue], Storm Voice [Sorcerer], Troll Warrior [Barbarian], Wind Lord [Fighter])
      • New options for the Monk.
    • Dark Pacts & Ancient Secrets is well-regarded, if you're interested (Abomination, Fateweaver, Psion, Savage, Swordmage, Warlock)
    • I haven't read The Overworld and Beyond yet, but it has a couple (Realm-Walker, Void-Caller)
  • Races
    • Core stuff's all in the 13th Age Core Rulebook (Humans, Dwarves, Half-Orcs, Elves, Gnomes, Half-Elves, Halflings, Dragonics, Holy Ones, Forgeborn, Demontouched)
    • 13th Age Glorantha has variant Human stuff, and especially weird Ducks and Trolls, which may make for templates for other monsters
    • Dark Alleys & Twisted Paths has more weird races that I haven't looked at yet, as does The Overworld and Beyond
  • Feats, Talents, etc.
    • Naturally, everything in the core books above is in
    • Likely, all the stuff in the other books above, too
      • Dark Alleys & Twisted Paths especially has various class options for all the non-Glorantha classes above
    • Deep Magic - a complex set of spellcasting talents for wizards and non-wizards alike, spell schools, and lots of spells

There are a couple more books and 'zines I've uploaded if people want to get really wild, but talk to me about those.

House Rules

I haven't had much need to house-rule stuff yet, and we're going to try to do icon relationships by the book to start. If we have issues, we can try using either of my alternate rules to add some crunch to story-guide rolls, or to replace icons with something like Glorantha runes.

But, for now, icons and story-guide rolls as written in the core book. Here are the only things I have tweaked from the start:
