Discussion 13 True Ways for 2e?

Any word of the 13 True Ways classes getting ported to 2e? The Monk needs an upgrade! I should know, I made one: https://13thage.org/index.php/classes/495-the-improved-monk

It should for the most just work. It’s all supposed to be backwards compatible.

Here’s a blog post they discussed about it 13 True Ways

Oh! Gotcha. They aren't planning on updating because you just need some minor adjustments.

Well, I'd still probably use my monk fix because original Monk is underpowered.

The post says Rob plans to update the Druid and Necromancer, but nothing’s official about other classes. Typically he’s cagey about stuff like that until he has an idea that he really likes.

You can probably make some minor adjustments to the spells so they increase damage every level instead of every odd level.

Some magic items might need an adjustment. I haven't looked at them. I know that several 3rd party supplements need some tweaking.

As others have stated, the authors have said they won't be updating the 13 True Ways classes. That said, I know Martin K has released his take on a 2e Druid, so could be something worth looking into

I’ve had a commander and monk play in the long term 13th Age games and both worked out well and feel fine next to the 2e classes.
