Is this a supplement for Assembled Edition, or does AE cover this material? Thanks.

Any errata? Mentalist page 18 at the bottom lists "PSYCHIC WEAPON". What is it? I cant find it anywhere. Love the book and hope there are more.

Ok. I missed it. Thank you for the lightning fast reply. I hope more Icons books are coming. The Hero templates in Origins is very helpful.
Thank you!

Icons print products (other than the Assembled Edition) are available only from DriveThruRPG/RPGNow as print-on-demand books, so there is no associated SKU or ISBN. The Assembled Edition is available through regular distribution and online at the Green Ronin store as well as in print-on-demand.

They had to be taken offline while new files (to correct a typo) were verified. They're now back online!

Page 53 of the PDF (Page 52 of the actual document) the Ethnicity table is missing the entry for "5" (African Americans are 3-4 and Caucasians are 6-7).

In the construct archetype, too bad you havent include Bioroid (living android) nor clones.

Otherwise the archetypes and the background generators are interesting, thanks for the book.

I had a homebrew point characters creation and i m glad to see it was really really close :D

Considered it, but since bioroids and clones are living beings and lack the Alternate Form configuration of other constructs, the concept didn't make for a good variant and seemed better suited as a background element for other archetypes. Glad you're enjoying the book overall!

The first page of the sample file appears to be corrupted. The rest is readable.

I can confirm that too. Actually I'm browsing it from mobile Firefox on Android.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
