JediSoth, could you help explain how it is easier? In 4th, you get a total BP count for everything, and then you choose where the points go. In 5th, it sounds like you choose priorities, which then give you a set BP per selection, and then you choose where the points go. It sounds the same to...

Raunalyn, do you really feel that way? Any extra dice can help. Skills only normally go from 1 to 6, so an additional 2 benefit is very significant. Besides, it only provides a probably target location to aim at; it does not physically move and shoot the weapon for you.

My background: grew up with a family that looked down on D&D, so my role-playing experience was Rifts instead. Never really made sense to me, since both can be as good or evil as the GM dictates. Anyway, read through all the posts before replying. No idea what Savage World or Legend of the Five...
