*Working 1 Changelog Version v1.1 02/07/14 -Removed 'Rock and Roll' because gameplay means that enemies will not often enough seek cover or use poor lighting to their advantage, so ranged characters rarely have to roll over TN 4 or 5 for shooting. Having no penalty on Auto-Fire basically makes it 3 free attacks. -Switched image style from between two columns to top and bottom of page, in SW:XE style. -Added edges to Demon Weapon section to improve (or rather just to add) choices for mid-to-late game play. -Fixed and stretched out formatting for ease of looking through everything. -Due to players maxing out Fighting and Shooting and not caring about other skills, lowered cap so that Skill die cannot exceed governing Ability die. Balanced this by reducing requirements for multiple edges, and currently, a very viable build involves 3 d8 stats, and a d6 and d4. -Added Archetypes to give new players a guide of what to choose. -Remade Special Technique (previously Special Attack) section, added more options and penalties. -Added Chain Resonance, must be tested for difficulty in achieving connection and value of various benefits. -Weakened Wavelength Disruption because if the target is separated + shaken, there is no coming back from that. That was one of the first unique edges I made so of course it was broken as shit. That was back before I made Weapon traits so...high... -Eliminated Wavelength Shield, it's basically just using a Stance but with added rules making Called Shots viable. You don't really need it. *Working 2 Credits and Dedications The authors of this Savage Setting do not own Soul Eater manga, anime, or Savage Worlds, which belong to Square Enix, Studio BONES and Funimation, and Pinnacle Entertainment, respectively.
