[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 6025132, member: 50895"] While I can agree that dropping power levels is one way to help induce horror in RPG gaming, I also agree with you that it isn't necessarily the only or best way to do it. Kaidan is a Japanese horror setting designed for use with PFRPG, thus can work well with 3x rules. While some new mechanics have been introduced to help convey the unique horror aspects of the setting, in no way has the Pathfinder rules been lowered in power to fit. There's absolutely no need to alter Pathfinder in any way to achieve the horror aspects of Kaidan. Check out [B][URL="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/91394/The-Gift%3A-Curse-of-the-Golden-Spear-Part-1-%28PFRPG%29?cPath=4448_6626"][COLOR=#0066cc]The Curse of the Golden Spear[/COLOR][/URL][/B] trilogy of adventures that introduce the setting to a party of 5th level standard adventurers to this land of curses and Japanese horror. There is plenty of gritty, dark hopelessness in Kaidan, especially in adventures 2 and 3 of the trilogy. [/QUOTE]
