Why buy a Francisca or short spear when you can just buy a carath or javelin? If like me you try to be a little realistic, parry a sword or axe with a javelin broke it. The durability is not the same, and it exist an optionnal rules to play with (p.227 in the french book.) I do not consider this as...

As for me, I'd stick with 0 Damage, no matter the level in the Discipline. After all, it stands to reason that you're always going to do more damage with one foot of coldly efficient steel than with your meaty fists. Esteren has a realistic world after all, with no Kung-fu masters, so fist-fighting ...

Yup, good ol' TNR; nothing fancy!

Welcome Babak! Glad you like our game; it's first and foremost a work of passion, so it's good to know that it interests and inspires people! I hope Esteren will give you the opportunity to live wonderful adventures.

Ah, so it seems we've reached the most delicate part. Don't let your hands fail you now Daïn!

De toute manière, comme il l'est dit dans le livre lui-même, les monnayeurs apportent souvent leurs propres spécificités à la monnaies qu'ils battent, donc tu peux laisser parler ton inspiration en la matière !

Thank Goddess for that, Clovis! Arthus had me worried about the publishing of Book 2 in English! Good to hear it's going to be available. ::heart starts again!:: Well Arthus is a misleading vilain, and he will certainly be expelled from the forum for such slander... or maybe it's just an idle threa...

That's a possibility. However, I think the "Riposte" system could make the Art very (maybe overly) powerful, so I'd personally stick to the original function of the Art. If a Player wants to parry, maybe I'd use the same system, but with only half of the fighting skill (or a -2 or -4 bonus), to make...

Hm, now that you say it, it is indeed never clearly expressed that you can parry attacks directed toward someone other than you. However, that makes perfect sense to me, and it adds an element that can make combats even more interesting and tactical... without even mentioning all the great role-play...

Actually Arthus, Perception is based on Reason, since it's more about keeping your head clear and analyzing things that just feeling them. Regarding Empathy for Speed, I'd also say it makes sense. After all, Speed in Esteren is not only about being the fastest, but also the first to strike efficient...
