I like the merging of Con into Str (and Cha into Wil), but it still seems like there's a small(er) tax tied to Str, for the survivability aspect. I watched Bob the World Builder's take on Nimble, and he noted that all his players took the Balanced stat array because it provided the most points. It also doesn't have a negative stat, so every character will have at least a 0 in Str. This seems... less than ideal. So I was curious if it was ever considered to just make your primary stat the one that drove bonus HP. This would stop Mages from becoming more swole as the campaign progressed (I get not everyone wants to play Raistlin, but some of us would like to at least live without looking like Charles Atlas too).

Secondarily, this is less about development and more about potential homebrew, has anyone experimented with bringing in the Spheres of Power into Nimble? It's my absolute favorite side system for 5E, and it seems like it would pair perfectly with the format of Nimbles' spell system. Spell points, cantrips, augmented spells, elemental damage already split out. Could make any baseline Sphere that isn't already represented in Nimble as a 'secret spell'; have to research where you could learn Void magic or whatever... seek out the hidden master in a monestary high atop the Skyscraper Mountains, etc. It would curtail a lot of 'I'm missing spells x,y,z' discussions, I think.

Hi,

In the Terramancy spell school sheet it says

Learning Earth Magic. Any hero that has access to Lightning, Radiant or Wind spell school can replace one of those with Terramancy during a Safe Rest - provided they have some means to learn it.

Is that a permanent change or is something you can do every Safe Rest?

Thanks

Hi, I bought the Nimble core set a while ago and it seems that soon I would dust off my gm dice and play a new campaign but this time I want to use Nimble. I’ve been looking for pre written adventures other than one shots and conversions, they could be anthologies that you can link together also. Can you suggest me some? It doesn’t matter if they’re official or from 3rd party. Thank you very much.

Hello! I just ran my first oneshot, and I think it went pretty well! I enjoyed the characters' options and how much quicker things felt.

My main gripe was playing the monsters seemed generally shallow and not interesting. It felt like a majority of them were glorified hp sponges with one attack. I'm wondering if I am missing something or maybe I'm just spoiled with other games like daggerheart or fabula ultima where I had plenty of choices.

Thanks :)

Hullo,

I just found out about Nimble, and it sounds brilliant but when looking to actually buy it, I can't find anywhere the box set is in stock. Was this a limited release, or do we know if more stock is coming?

cheers

I'm wrapping up my 5e campaign after almost 2 years, and so I'm thinking this could be a good time to switch over to Nimble. I have the 1.0 PDF from the kickstarter - just anxiously awaiting those books when they're finally released.

But I'd like to maybe run a one-shot with the Nimble rules to let my players get a feel for the ruleset. Are they pregens available somewhere, and also a simple one-shot scenario that might illustrate some of the rules? I can also run some random Dungeon module that I like, but just curious if there's an actual Nimble module available for that purpose?

Like if the party goes 2 days without ever resting. I know they won't get their abilities replenished or anything but is there like an exhaustion thing to consider?
