I added some additional careers (Amazon, Athlete, Philosopher, etc.), got rid of some standard ones that don't fit (Alchemist, Gladiator), and tweaked the combat rules to make shield-fighting more attractive.<br /><br />Many of the existing boons can be used without modification other than name-changes for color. Divine Ancestry, for example, can be simulated by Marked by the Gods.<br /><br />Also, when spending a hero point, it's more appropriate to imagine some god or goddess intervening on your hero's behalf, i.e. Athena nudges your spear in flight so it hits (paying a hero point to re-roll).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007944847930867852.post-71020264408120476602010-06-27T05:51:49.744-07:002010-06-27T05:51:49.744-07:00That is a great idea!
