Well, it seems that things have settled in quite nicely and I am considering restarting the project. Currently, I am researching Ivalice lore and legends right now trying to get the timelines down properly, so it might take some time for that info to pop up. For now, though expect to see another rebalance of the races and even some new information as well.



Also, I am looking for anyone interested in submitting more information for the project. Remember it's a D20 conversation of the world of Ivalice (namely the world during the Final Fantasy XII timeline).

So yes! I am happy to say that I've finally decided to move to a new free service for my Ivalice D20 project. I feel that it will be easier doing business over LiveJournal now, plus I have more friends over here. Anywho, here we are in our new home.


Quick Update - Races of Ivalice (Beta III)
As it was commented many times before, the two races: moogle and nu mou were a tad bit too powerful with their Increased Caster Level racial ability. This is currently being reviewed, as are all the races for another complete overhual. Also, one of the new features being added will include the option of gaining "racial" levels to increase abilities. These racial levels will act as class levels in the sense that they will grant Hit Dice, skill points, and increase the overall level of the character. The reason for this extra features is because I did not want to add level adjustment for certain races, but I still wanted a way to keep the races of Ivalice from losing too many of their well-known traits. The bottom line is that all the races will be rebalanced to be without level adjustment, however some races will be able to choose to instead of taking class levels take racial levels to increase their talents. For now, this is under heavy testing and we are reviewing this very carefully. Expect some sort of real update fairly soon.
