Far Away Land 1.5

This is a change log with updates to the FAL rules for version 1.5 

Here we go...

• Basic Rules
• Spell and Ability damages are now based on the users Arcane/Ability score. Damage is the score in d6 (this may be changed to score in d3 damage). This prevents damage from having to be listed and referred to.
• Actions have been simplified. Now longer will specific actions have specific costs. Simple actions are 1 Action, complex actions are 2 or more. This has removed need of an Action chart - yeah - cause I hate that thing.

• PC Creation
• Species/Race has been changed to Heritage to be more encompassing race, culture, language, etc.
• 36 Heritage templates have been included
• Sample names (both male and female) have been provided for all 36 PC Heritage templates to gives player a sense of language and feel 
• Catling claws damage changed to 1d3 (from 1d6)
• A d66 list of flaws so players can roll for flaws during character creation
• How flaws work have been updated to be more clear
• All PCs start with 2 Actions now. Actions can still be upgraded.
• Light weapons do d3 to 1d6 damage now to allow for more nuanced damage from smaller weapon
• 
  
• Advancement (largely untouched cause I really like the system)
• gaining XP examples have been condensed
• XP for cleverness and exploration has been introduced

• Combat (largely untouched -mostly just combining all of the optional systems)
• Weapon types have been clarified a bit
• Optional Combat Rules have been expanded to included Optional Combat Rules from all books
• Combat Achievements have been expanded to included Combat Achievements from all books
• 
  

• Magic 
• Magic rules have changed to be more freeform - spell lists have been removed
• PCs can now cast additional spells beyond the 3 + level per day but with a penalty of -1d6 per cast
• Armor hinders spellcasting now. Light armor -1 die, heavy armor -3 dice

• Abilities
• Some abilities have been simplified. FOr example, all of the -kinesis abilities have been grouped under psychokinesis with examples of various types provided. More specific defintions have also been provided
• Several undead abilities have been removed as they felt too much like spells
• Any Abilities that overlapped with magic have been removed (so weird summoning stuff and golem creation stuff is gone from the Abilities list)
• High-level abilities (like resurrect self and omniscience) have been removed.
