RE: [BNW] Covenant

[Kevin Blumhardt <kevin_blumhardt@yahoo.com>]

Well, since I seem to be the first to have gotten a copy [wow...  I
feel special :) ],

Here's some specifics and a breakdown of the book:

128 pages, pretty standard.

Interesting note on the credits page is this quote:  "AEG would
like to offer a hearty thanks to Matt Forbeck for all his hard work on
this product, and for dreaming up the Brave New World line in the first
place."  Bastards.

PP 4-61:  Fluff, written by a high-ranking priest in the
Covenant.  He gives a cool first hand account of the Atlanta
bombing, some speculation and church decrees on handling various
supernatural creatures, and details the Covenant's relationships with the
Prez and the Defiants, and a bunch of other stuff concerning the Covenant
and the world.

PP 62-66: Stuff on running Covenant heroes.

PP 66-74: Covenant wepons: Holy Soakers and balloon mortars (I love
these!) along with silver bullets and other equipment.

PP 74-82: More stuff on the different Covenant heroes, different Orders,
priests, nuns, etc.

PP 82-87: Tricks and Clerical powers: 

Tricks (mainly reprints from RP)
Blessed
Divine Inspiration
Inspire
Terrify

Clerical Powers (powers any priest can use, delta or not)
Bless
Exorcise
Pray
Retreat
Sanctify

PP 87-94

Powers
Ascend
Aura of Righteousness
Divine Mercy
God's Truth
God's Will
Holy Flame
Manna
Martyr's Determination
Might of God
Pentecostal Tongue
Petition
Sacrifice
Sanctify
Shield of God
Solace
Unfetter
Walk on Water
Wrath of God

PP 95-100  Covenant archetypes:  Acolyte, Georgian, Judian,
Monk, Nun, Priest.

PP 103-123  The guide's section:  What's in here?  Well,
that would be telling.  :)  Suffice to say, there's some
goodies in here, including an adventure for Covenant heroes.

PP 124-127 Author's note and Index:  Matt doesn't even mention the
end of BNW!  What's with that???

PP 128:  The kiss of death.  The last page ad, that has always
been an ad for the next book... is an ad for AEG's Adventure Keep d20
modules.

That's the breakdown!  Enjoy!

Thanks for the info. Yes they could switch powers before (not sure on the
mechanics of it off the top of my head though). Hey any new info on the
Vamps and Deaders? still would like to find out more about them.
