Numenera Character Options *OP

This is a good supplement but it's not necessary because the Core Book gives you plenty of Foci and Descriptors to provide hours and hours of character possibilities. Where this book weighs in, though, is that it provides even more Foci & Descriptors, including ones that are tied in to specific homelands or specific visitant races, and some that are essentially negatives (Doomed, Craven, Clumsy...all for example).There are also some additional visitant races, though I wasn't just bowled over by any of them. Still, I'm sure a clever PC or GM can do something with them.Get this if you really are interested in expanding upon the ground covered in the Core Book. It's certainly not a waste of time, money or investment; it's just that might add even more Weird to your already weird game.

This book is more or less a requirement for those who want to play Numenera. It extends the options available for Jacks and Glaives dramatically -- so that a Jack isn't just a cut-rate Nano crossed with a poor Glaive, but instead a character with its own feel (in this case, a rogue-like adventurer), and a Glaive can be played as more than just a source of slowly increasing damage numbers. The new Foci include some very interesting options to help bind characters to the setting. All in all, if you want to seriously play Numenera, you need this book.

Excellent expansion on the character generation rules in the core book. If you plan to run Numenera, this one may be a must-buy.

Love the options for players. It continues Monte Cook's awesome job with the core book. The only problem is, with so many options, what to choose!

Greatly expands the way you can create characters, and also helps flesh out the world setting with descriptors tied to different regions/kingdoms in the ninth world.

A must have for any Numenera player or GM. Once again Monte Cook Games scores big.

Players use so much stuff out of here

adds more chracter creation from the core book

My only complain with this book is about the seller, who send it to me in an enveloppe, which was folder in my P.O. Box by the mailman. A cardboard enveloppe would be much better.Returning to the product, this book is full of character options for Numenera such as Regional descriptors, new Mutations, plenty of new Focuses (Foci), and more. Rules on leveling your character past Tier 6 are basically a paragraph with rules that you pretty much can come up with your own if you think about it.A must buy? No. A nice addition to the game. Yes.

Espansione molto ben scritta e struttuturata per l'ultima fatica ddi Monte Cook.Necessita del manuale base per essere giocato e di una discreta padronanza della lingua inglese.

Questo supplemento aggiunge una quantità notevole di materiale utilissimo (foci, descrittori, regole opzionali e altro), lo consiglio caldamente ai gruppi che apprezzano Numenera.
