TT Ep 153 Deep Dive on Arcane Backgrounds in Savage Worlds Fantasy Companion (Part 1)

[@jameswilson4328]

YES!!! So hype for this video, so glad it's here at last! Thank you!

[@garfjaconsen1161]

I love the deep dives! Can't wait for part 2!

[@kalleendo7577]

Awesome!

[@Onionkid99]

Great video, and I've been looking forward to it. And the next! Illusionist is my favorite (though I'd say Necromancer is most powerful). Given the Illusionist's EXTREMELY limited powers list, I think Major Armor Interference is too much of a hindrance. I'd say make it Minor Interference. An Illusionist paired with skills and edges to make a "Rogue" type character is amazingly fun to play.

[@ericsplosions]

Great suggestion and I tend to agree. My illusionist is a tiny nerdy mousefolk so he is already so weak that armor wouldn't do anything but a magical trickster would be a fun character!

Regarding the druid living in animal form for days, it's possible to achieve that with either soul drain or familiar edge. Soul drain gives you 5 PP for 1 fatigue, which regenerates after an hour and you get 5 hours of animal shape for that. And familiar PP regenerate on its own regardless if you're maintaining powers or not which you can use to stay shapeshifted forever.

[@ericsplosions]

Wow, good catches! You found a good use of soul drain 😏 and another reason why the familiar edge is so strong!

Complaints about druid being a gish class fall flat to me as I build my orc druid for a Savage Eberron game!

[@ericsplosions]

Sounds bad ass! Didn't mean to come off as complaint per se, I was just surprised that gish-est option was in the druid, and was outside the scope of shape change. I just wanted to make people understood that it as an expensive option with a built in hindrance that is probably a bad fit for most caster druids. On the other hand, I love gishes and would totally play a gish druid using the edge in a game!

@@ericsplosions I just noticed the Hasty power modifier and realized that this gish druid would be using it all of the time… My son told me he liked FC better than PF SWADE and I was skeptical at first, but the more I learn the more I like the FC. Going to be spending part of the summer retooling the Dark Sun SWADE conversion I worked on years ago and adapting it for use with the FC.
