Savaged Goin'
In reply to Judge Messalen (msg # 4):
Advancement Rule clarification:
This is clarification to msg #4. While players have 10 advances to apply, becoming Veteran rank, the character build must adhere to the SW Advancement protocols ... in other words, the build must be done with Character Creation first, and then applying one advance at a time, with any requirements met for each advance at the time of that advance.
For example, my hero is Novice rank after creation. I would want to take the Marksman edge, but I will have to wait until achieving Seasoned rank to take that edge, because it requires "Seasoned" rank. So Ithe earliest I could take that edge would be my fourth advance, because:
Stage = Rank, Experience Points
Creation = Novice, 0 ep
Advance 1 = Novice, 5 ep
Advance 2 = Novice, 10 ep
Advance 3 = Novice, 15 ep
Advance 4 = Seasoned, 20 ep
Advance 5 = Seasoned, 25 ep
Advance 6 = Seasoned, 30 ep
Advance 7 = Seasoned, 35 ep
Advance 8 = Veteran, 40 ep
Advance 9 = Veteran, 45 ep
Advance 10 = Veteran, 50 ep
Additionally, please note the Rank Table bullets, especially the * for increasing attribute die type. With our 10 advancement rule, a total of 3 attribute die type increases can be done (one while Novice, one while Seasoned, one while Veteran).
The Judge suggests that each player document each phase of Advancement. Create the character and save the stats at time of creation. Then apply each advance, noting what stats were updated for each advance. This will help the player to manage the build and adhere to requirements, changing things along the way without having to start over. It will also help the Judge to validate the build.
