PRODIGY TO PARAGON IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE! BUY IT HERE!
Prodigy to Paragon: How to Harness Your Potential and become a Top-Notch Ninja
So I've started work on the new supplement, Prodigy to Paragon. To give you an idea of what to expect, here's the customary list of things I have planned, and my expectations for length and cost.
The book will contain 1 occupation, 6 new 5-level basic class alternative (Paragon classes, the Strong Paragon, Fast Paragon, etc.), one new 3- or 5-level prestige class, at least 25 feats (one or more for every playstyle), and possibly new items and training techniques.
I expect somewhere around 20-30 pages, and between $2.99 and $3.99.
That being said, if any of you own any self-help books or know someone who does, I'm looking for examples of chapter titles to give me ideas on what to replace "SECTION I: Clever BASICS section title" with. Yes, this is an actual quote from the book right now. Let me know!
I am still, of course, taking suggestions on how to make the product even better. So let me know if you have any of those, too. _________________ "It's like making a cake, but instead of a cake it's a game and instead of frosting I have no life."

Paragon classes sound cool but it doesn't sound like anything I can give ideas on. As for the title I know someone who owns lots of self help books so I will give him a ring and ask him. _________________ Sasori Kimimaro and Hiruko are the Greatest Ninja of all time.

Right now I'm looking to make a feat at the very least for every playstyle there is. If you have suggestions, I'm sure I can find a way to implement it if the idea is good.
What playstyle do you like? Is there anything you would like to see it do? _________________ "It's like making a cake, but instead of a cake it's a game and instead of frosting I have no life."

So You Want To Be a Meat Shield sounds like a good title for the Basics class though it doesn't encompass every class individually which is probably more of what your looking for. _________________ "You're a new kid on the block, young girls scream and old boys mock" |

How about simply then: "So You Want To Be a Shinobi??"
If you like that style others could be:
"So You Made It Out Of The Academy?"
"So Your Looking For Something Unique?"
"So You Are Ready For Your First Mission?"
"So You Got Your Ass Handed Too You??
Thats kinda all i can come up with off the top of my head, but i hope these are of some help, even if it is simply to help you decide the direction you dont want to go with these titles
Also i apologise for the last one, it just sprang into my head just before i hit submit and thought that you might at least find it alittle funny _________________ "Aut Vincere Aut Mori" |

I've already covered that part, guys, but thanks. Now I'm mostly focusing on feats. _________________ "It's like making a cake, but instead of a cake it's a game and instead of frosting I have no life."

So I thought I'd keep you all updated. I've finished 26 of the 30 or so feats, the six Paragon classes, and the one occupation (the Phenom). All told, I'm short about 4 feats, one prestige class and a few items and techniques, and the two iconic characters.
I'm still looking for section titles for the Feats, Items, Prestige Class and NPC sections.
An example I have for you is the only named section so far, for the Paragon classes and the Phenom occupation: SECTION I: THE GENIUS IN ALL OF US.
That said, if you have any suggestions, comments of suggestions for section names, I welcome them.
EDIT: One last thing I wanted to add was that not everything in this supplement is intended for genius ninja. A number of feats certainly will be, as are each of the new talents from the Paragon classes (talents being Strong Prodigy, Fast Prodigy, etc.), but a good portion of the other material will be accessible to all. _________________ "It's like making a cake, but instead of a cake it's a game and instead of frosting I have no life."

Maybe Classes could be something like "Pathways to success" and playing the NPC section off as Rivals? The items could also be "Tools of the trade" or "Your Second best weapon" (Because the mind's your first, hyuk hyuk?) |

Damn. I was hoping you didn't select a name for the Paragon Classes chapter. I would've suggested this lovely number from a book on self-esteem: "Shaking the Tree."
Feats: The Power of Choice
Items: The Junk in Your Trunk
Prestige Class: Making the Most of Your Time
NPC: Cherish the Challenge

Question: How would a 'paragon' hero class compare to a 'normal' hero class? _________________ I must not fear.

The paragon classes are superior in a sense. All of them are 5 level basic classes similar in most ways, but with a twist. _________________ "It's like making a cake, but instead of a cake it's a game and instead of frosting I have no life."

Would use of the Paragon classes be a good alternative to making superior characters than the True Ninja rules?
Sorry if the questions are annoying, just trying to get an idea of what the supplement will be like. _________________ I must not fear.

The more I read, the more I am looking forward to this supplement. I'm especially going to enjoy reading though the paragon classes. |

To be honest, it isn't right now. And it's not going to today either, because massive bills suck the happiness out of my life. _________________ "It's like making a cake, but instead of a cake it's a game and instead of frosting I have no life."

Well, massive bills sucking happiness really sucks.
Thats bad to know, as I was planing to use those new rules with my friends soon.
Anyway I have to thank you for the quick answer. For now I will stick with what we've already have.
If some day you could give a shedule on when it may be released let me know. ^^
Thanks and sorry for the poor english. I'm from Brasil. Cya. _________________ Nuff said! |

If you don't mind my asking, what do you mean by play style when you say you want feats for every play style? Are we talking character roll, something more general, something more specific? _________________ "There are things more frightening than death.

Probably not my place to say but if you feel bad and want to help technically the best way to do so would be to donate, or even just buy some of the other supplements from the store really. |

Donations are always welcome, but not expected.
As for what I mean by play style, I mean that every playstyle is or will be catered to. From grapplers to meta-chakra specialists to unarmed fighter to dexterity fighting to ranged fighters, to name a few, will find at least one feat that will suit their needs.
If you want to help, feel free to suggest things that could be feats, items, class abilities or training techniques. Suggestions are always appreciated and almost always helpful, albeit not in the way you might expect. _________________ "It's like making a cake, but instead of a cake it's a game and instead of frosting I have no life."

I've always wished there was a way to make a hit and run fighter type do better, but I'm not sure a feat is the bets way to go about doing that. But hey, if you have or already have had an idea for something along those lines that'd be cool. _________________ "There are things more frightening than death.

Then it's ok.
I guess I'll do it by opening my own topic in "Community creation".
I doubt you'll find there quality stuff .
But perhaps some ideas, and I suppose that's the way suggestions help you. |
