Hi Lee, love your work as always. I was reading your reference sheet on Guile and Conviction. I may have missed something but what are the starting values for the different professions? And are there ability modifiers to these scores?
You haven't missed anything - the starting scores for each profession are in the profession packs (that I've not yet made available from the Forest but hope to do soon...) - as a general design principle, all secondary ability score roles are based on 2d10 and all first rank characters have a 50/50 chance against an equivalent character (so, for example a first-rank knight has a 50% chance to hit another first-rank knight in combat).
As for modifiers to Guile and Conviction from the primary ability scores:
Int 3-5: -2 Guile
Int 6-8: -1 Guile
Int 13-15: +1 Guile
Int 16-18: +2 Guile
PT 3-5: -1 Conviction
PT: 16-18: +1 Conviction
Presence 3-5: -2 Conviction; -1 Guile
Presence 6-8: -1 Conviction
Presence 13-15: +1 Conviction
Presence 16-18: +2 Conviction; +1 Guile
Why all the disconnected information? Because these are all extracts from my "Dragon Warriors v2" that I play with my group and some of it still contains copyrighted information, so I can't just publish the whole thing. I will definitely include the above information in the next iteration of the Guile & Conviction sheet, though, as I think it's incomplete without it (and isn't prorprietary). This is also why the information tends not to include my latest play-tested updates (I make the updates to the main rules document, but don't change the website content as frequently - be a lot easier if they were the same document!)
Shout if there's anything else you spot that could do with some attention from the Wand of Clarity
