Earthdawn Game

blank character sheet

General Rules

• The rules will default to the Earthdawn 4e rules.
• If a rule is missing from 4e but present in a previous edition then we might use the rule from the previous edition (if it's sane and such).

Specific House Rules

• Every 3 points of Strength (or fraction thereof) above 10 will offset 1 point of Initiative Penalty from worn equipment. Do not attempt to calculate this yourself, the spreadsheet does it automatically for you. Just put in the actual initiative penalty for your armor and shield and it will do the rest.
