I have been playing Fantasy Age. Thoughts below:

- It is definitely a "fantasy heartbreaker". That is not a bad thing.
- Magic-users trade a limited resource of "magic points", and needing to roll to cast a spell, for powerful spells. Most of our encounters were resolved at the point the magic-user cast a spell. Since the magic-user has yet to come near to running out of "magic points", I am unsure of the viability of this limitation.
- I am convinced, more and more, that a standard array is the way to go. Rolling almost guarantees a lack of balance; point-buy almost guarantees optimization.
- I am not sure armour is as useful as high defence, and the armour penalties seem a little high.
- The game is fun and plays fast.

Edit: I have since been informed by our magic user that they currently have one remaining magic point.

Sounds cool. I've been wanting to pick it up. Maybe I'll buy it as an early Christmas present to myself.

So.. does that mean once you use up magic points, it's all gone for good and you are just a meat shield?
