Earthdawn 4E: Rules Variant 25 - Updates Part 13: Air Sailor

This is the twenty-fifth Rules Variant, part of an ongoing series about Earthdawn Fourth Edition. Introduction and Index.

Everything contained here is the work of a fan and not associated with FASA Games.

This is part of a significant update to better align things with lessons learned and best practices. The primary focus is updating various effects to static Difficulty Numbers, but this is not where it stops and it includes abilities outside that scope which require some attention.

This Discipline had one change: replacing Down Strike. The talent was removed entirely from this update. It still technically lives on as a skill, but that's a very narrow issue.

Refer to the previous update on Talents and Skills for changes to the following talents:

• Air Speaking
• Blood Share
• Cold Purify
• Gliding Stride
• Great Leap
• Inspire Others
• Rally
• Taunt
• Zephyr Guard
