Stars Under Stone: Hammer's new coat of paint


Pre-SuS (When All You Have is a Hammer):

  • 1.0+: Roll-under system, very similar to The Black Hack. Developed Contractor, found class abilities for fighters etc
  • 2.0+: Roll-under system, HD for weapon damage
  • 3.0+: Changed to roll-over system; Triggers are now custom skills and professions, many small tweaks to Feats and Spells

Stone and Stars v0: What’s different from Hammer?

    • Second Wind is now a T2 Open Feat (from T1 Fighter)
