RE: No Cultural Packages?

Hey Vry; how's the Shards campaign coming along?


OT, there are "cultural packages" of a sort, but really "cultural" is just a label.

Since package deals are all just collections of themed abilities, it doesnt really matter what the theme is as long as its appropriate. There is no mechanical difference between a "Barbarian" cultural package or a "Barbarian" professional package -- and in fact they could be somewhat interchangeable depending on the culture in question.

More often, individual GM's would be better served to slap together "cultural" packages appropriate to their own setting.

Since there is no longer a default Fantasy Setting assumed in FH, though the Turakian Age is referenced as an example in places, it doesnt make much sense to have a lot of cultural packages.

Rest assured there are a ton of Package Deals nonetheless, but mostly profession and race oriented.

And of course, other fan-created resources are available as well, such as my own High Fantasy HERO site ( http://www.FantasyHERO.com ) which includes dozens of "modular" package deals intended to be mixed and matched to make many different combos.
