[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 6057379, member: 87792"] The game has [I]Power Cards[/I] ffs. I'm not sure what you're looking for. And yes, being the third biggest game is a hell of a drop off - but it always has been as far as I know. Your point? Best - and worst. They were interesting certainly. That might just be because the 4e character design is more flexible and more reflective of actual mythological character concepts than either 3e or 2e [I]despite the glut both games had[/I]. All links 404'd. Which might be just as well as the quality of netbook design made me want to poke my eyes out in most cases. Yeah, sure if by "Ferrari" you mean a wooden cutout saying the word "Ferrari". Given that despite Appendix N The Grey Mouser was almost impossible to create as a PC before 4e, the casters were so larded with flavour that they resembled almost nothing in any fiction anyone wanted to write, and the non-casters were boring and crippled you might theoretically be able to create the parts for a Ferrari - but you had about the same chance of that as you had of creating a working fusion reactor. And some of us are, from the players side, capable of hogtying that beast with one hand behind our backs, and consider it still not worth the effort as the beast is bug ugly, doesn't resemble [I]any[/I] fiction, and is neither a particular challenge nor shows us anything about the world the way GURPS books sometimes can.
