That gives me some hope that the fluff might be usable in some cases.  However, not much because the definition of heroism of 4E seems to be inspired by El Marachi, the Matrix, wuxia, and anime and thinks 'Die Hard' is gritty.  Whereas, my take on heroism is more inspired by Homer and Tolkien, and thinks the girl that cut her own finger off so she could have something to pick a lock with is gritty.Points #1, #2, #3, and #4 are important enough and interesting enough that they've made me contemplate changes in my own rules.</blockquote>
