Charisma no longer modifies the Reaction Table.

Excellent, thanks. And here I was starting to think we had gotten everything already!

I'm curious, does the no PP magic option cover the Weird Science AB as well?

Thanks

Steady Hands is different now. It now only reduces the unstable platform penalty to a -1, but it also applies to running.

I had to re-read this 3 times to make sure (and I'm still not 100% sure) but it seems that Extras go OK, Shaken, Incapacitated rather than OK, Shaken, Wounded, Incapacitated now.

OK I was confused by this line from SWEX.

[JackMann]

You could. But there's more than one way to wound someone. For example, getting a success against a shaken extra. So it's easier to say that they take a wound on a raise, and then clarify that they're incapacitated on taking a single wound. It also helps tie it into the mechanics used for wildcards; that is, it works the same way, except that Wildcards aren't incapacitated until they take a fourth wound.

Mass Battle is an opposed roll now (SWD 92), rather than two separate rolls, with a chance to diminish both stacks of tokens equally (SWEX 122).

SWD Mass Battle looks like a drinking game with the Ol' Janx Spirit - once you start to lose you will probably keep losing. I'd rather have my Pangalactic Gargleblaster in peace, then.

Hi Guys,

I am new to Savage Worlds and a little overwhelmed with the new editon on the horizon and learning the rules from the SWEX edition.

So, Guts is gone? How is someone's reaction to horrible things conducted now? I read a variant somewhere where it was suggested Spirit should be used. Is that what happens in the new edition?

I want to start a group and get off on the right foot rules wise if you know what I mean. If I change rules next month in the middle of a game... well you know how players and rules can be an issue.

Thanks,
Mike

Frankly, there's no reason to dive into SWD. All of the currently available settings use SWEX (or earlier editions, though there's not much converting to do), and there aren't really that many rules changes from SWEX to SWD (it's mostly expansions and clarifications), so switching later won't pose a serious problem.

With a couple of small exceptions, I myself am actually sticking with SWEX rules for the time being, and probably won't go to SWD until a later printing (hopefully one in the smaller digest size and one that includes the errata), and that will be a while from now (I'm guessing at least a year, but we'll see).

As far as your Guts question, just roll the Spirit die whenever you see something telling you to make a Guts roll - otherwise, it's the same rules.

For that matter, just inform your players that they need the Guts skill in your game setting.

The rules are almost unchanged outside of Guts and the chase rules. Heck, my main setting has the setting rule that Gut skill is not used. Relax and do what's fun.
