Beginner's Essentials

[lars_alexander]

10 different languages for the Basic Fantasy Beginner's Essentials is quite impressive.

Since the entire thing is 12 pages, I will start at the Intro and work through to the end.

Spell table and spell description for Magic Missile needs to be changed to Arcane Arrow. All of the other spell descriptions have minor differences to the 4e core book, maybe they should just be sweepingly replaced with the current text from there?

[Solomoriah]

NOT changing XP bonus.

Player-facing rules are not to be changed, in general.

Ok that's about it I think

That seems to make sense - swap in the 4e Core Rules text where possible.

Boggo, do you have access to the Projects folder on Dropbox?

If not, send me an email and I'll hook you up, and you can do the updates to Beginner's Essentials.

I do, and I'll get onto them, should I strip the OGL page and add the CC license info as per the core as well?

[Solomoriah]

Yes, go ahead.

[Boggo]

Yes, go ahead.

OK Version R14 is now in Projects, I added 2023 Copyright to the list (2019 was last) but still Copyright attributed to Tom, I Changed it to Second Edition, not sure if you just want to increment editions or make everything CC Licensed 4e? I also reduced the Illustration on the Cover page slightly to fit the CC License text there because I thought it looked a little forlorn on it's own page

I didn't check the equipment tables vs the Core rules because to my knowledge there is no change there for 4e

[Solomoriah]

Everything is 4E now. But I'll take it from here. Thanks!
