As the character learns more about the item and its history, he can unlock more and more power within the item. Each magical item, therefore, is unique by virtue of its history and the scope of its powers. For example, one magical broadsword may have only 4 magical ranks and only increases the damage of the blade.
On the other hand, the legendary sword Purifier, has 10 magical ranks and grants its wielder numerous powers. Earthdawn stands out from other tabletop RPGs with a unique approach to skill tests. Players wanting to perform an action determine their level or 'step' for the skill, talent, or ability to be used.
This step can then be looked up in a list of dice to be thrown; it is the next-highest integer of the average roll of the dice s in question. For example, two six-sided dice will on average yield a result of 7, [5] thus the step number 8 means that 2d6 will be rolled. This approach means it's always technically possible to succeed with a low step number, yet leaves room for failure on high step numbers.
This will sometimes make combat last longer than in other games. As per the above, the difficulty value where the odds of success are perfectly even is identical to the step number. The dice in steps 3 through 13 form the basis of an step cycle. To form steps , add 1d Step 2 is rolled as step 3, but you subtract 1 from the result. This is notated as '1d4 - 1'. Step 1 is 1d4 - 2. The 3rd edition changes this by removing d4s and d20s from the system. Steps 6 through 12 as listed above form the basis of a 7-step cycle.
