Special: By spending an additional Mako Point (up to the monster’s Wisdom modifier) you increase the damage dealt by this spell-like ability by +1 die.

I have to say I've skimmed the pdf and love it. The one thing that jumped out to me is the Wolfion's aging stats. IIRC the epilogue of FFVII is 500 years later, and Red XIII looks to be in his prime.

[Marc_In_Da_Room]

thanks for your comment. What do you think would be their aging structure? I want all help i can get so feel free to point out more problems and offering solutions

[Marc_In_Da_Room]

Does anyone have any feedback on the Core Rulebook or on the monsters that are posted?

[Marc_In_Da_Room]

Any more feedback on the book?

Well... he's looking pretty robust at almost 550 years old, I'd say no more than middle-aged. But Bugenhagen says at 48 years old he's more like a 16 or 17 year old for humans, so it wouldn't be linear.

Adulthood for a human is 15 years, so adulthood for his race should be maybe 40 years.

Then middle age is 35 years. Assuming Nanaki is middle-aged in the epilogue, I'd guess something like this:

birth-40 not yet adult (split this up how you wish)
40-400 adult
400-??? middle-aged
etc.

You can pretty much do whatever as long as 500 isn't decrepit.

Thanks for that. Is there anything else you've noticed that may need revising?

FINAL FANTASY VII D20 ROLEPLAYING GAME (ver. 1.12)

[Marc_In_Da_Room]

Are there any more thoughts on the book, or any help in improving it?

[Marc_In_Da_Room]

Version 1.11 updates include the following:

• Gazetteer of all towns and cities.
• Several typos corrected.
• The Chocobo Breeding chapter has been removed to be inserted in the Monster Manual.

Is there anymore thoughts on the book?

[Marc_In_Da_Room]

Is there any more thoughts on the system? I know it seems like nagging but i do need assistance to make this project better.

[Princess Tracy]

And now I have to download it all over again. Oh well. Still pushing the machine chapter to its limits. I have som eideas I'll forward to you. Probably most of the problems are in magic since it's a new system, so since I haven't had a chance to see much of that, I won't be able to comment on it for a while I'm afraid. Unless we start another game where I play a mage-type character. There's an idea - set it in Dirge of Cerberus, because I still haven't played that game so even the default plot would probably surprise me.

[Marc_In_Da_Room]

Sounds like a good idea, but i won't GM it as i find running multiple games can get confusing.

If you read through the chapters you haven't done so already, it might give you an idea on how the system fits into place.

[Marc_In_Da_Room]

Is there any more thoughts on the book?

[JetThomasBoat]

I've only just been skimming it a little, since I'm doing a lot of other things, but I was going to say one thing I noticed are some things about the races. I think Moogles wouldn't have d6 claws. It's a rare small size class creature that does have d6 claws. And also, you mention the sahuagin having shells but I didn't see them having natural armor. If there's one thing that would have natural armor, I would say it it's something with a big turtle shell.

[Marc_In_Da_Room]

Thanks for point that out, i'll change it now. Would 2d4 be the appropriate die for Moogle claws?

[JetThomasBoat]

No, I was thinking less damage would be better. Like I'm as big a fan of moogles as the next guy (possibly more than some), but because of their cutesy design and the fact that they're small size class, I'd say 1d4 at most, possibly even 1d3. If you look at a lot of creatures with claws that have low or no level adjustments in normal D&D, you'll notice that most of the ones that are medium size have d4 claws. Like an example would be Lizardfolk. If I remember correctly, they only have d4 claw damage. And kobolds, which are small size class, have d3 claw damage. That's why I'm thinking a moogle shouldn't start out with that high of a damage die. Maybe allow the Improved Natural Weapon feat from the Monster Manual, that would allow the damage die to be increased to d6 (or d4 if you chose to start it at d3) or maybe make some kind of moogle specific feat.

[Marc_In_Da_Room]

Thanks for that, is there anything else you've noticed that may need changing or improving?

I've been cooking all night and haven't had a chance to take another look at it.

[DragGon7601]

I've been thinking about this and i realise a system where magic is used a number of times per day, like in D&D, wouldn't work in this system. Final Fantasy 7's magic system is one where a character uses MP until they run out then replenishes it through an ether or elixir, and i wanted to be faithful to the video game above anything else.

Having said that, i'm going to change how many Mako Points each base class and prestige class have as the amount characters receive are too few. Any help on how many each class should get would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your imput

Aren't you forgeting about each towns inn and all the tents you found/brought? These recoved both HP and MP to there max. For the default world you could say that without a 'one use camp site in a bottle' (Tent) you cant get a good nights sleep and don't recover anything, with one you spend 8 sleeping in some magicial field that resores your HP and MP. In other worlds things would be as normal, able to camp anywere and recover there MP but not there HP.

Also has anyone put this up elsewhere? I don't like how 4shared.com wants me to sign up. I'm sure they just want to spam me... Or give my info to the cops when it comes time for them to meet the same fate as MegaUpload. I have found a copy on scribd.com that I can view but its only 1.10 so it don't have all the updates. Plus I cant download from there without signing up either. Why are sites doing this.

[Marc_In_Da_Room]

I think that's probably why not many people are able to view the book and comment about it. What good site do you recommend to upload it too?

Also, i've been thinking about adding Tents to the game so thanks for your imput . I'll add them in the next update.

Is there anything else from the book you've seen needs improving on?

[DragGon7601]

I don't know about upload side of it but downloading from mediafire is easy enough. And that scribd.com site let me look at it without downloading so some may like that. It makes things a pain for you when it comes time to update but the more places it is the more likely people will look at it. or beter yet finish getting the data up on https://sites.google.com/site/finalfantasyviid20/ (I'm guessing thats your site, sorry if I'm wrong) as this will let people see sections they want without downloading the whole thing.

I was mainly intrested in the Magic system as I was thinking of making one simirlar to FF7 myself. With that being the only area I really checked and the book I was using being an older version I would like to hold off on my input untill I can get a better look.

So far you have done better than I could hope to, so keep up the good work.

[Marc_In_Da_Room]

Thanks, i'll try them out as soon as i can.

The google website is mine but i sort of gave up on it lol.

[Marc_In_Da_Room]

is there any more feedback on the system?

[Marc_In_Da_Room]

Forget the link to the updated book a few posts up, this is the new updated book uploaded to a different site, which will hopefully allow everyone to download it without having to sign up. please PEACH as i want to make this system the best it could be and every thought and advice is highly appreciated.
