[QUOTE="easl, post: 7585841, member: 6856073"] I have mixed but generally positive feelings about these changes. 1. Figuring out skill requirements for a spell was a pain in the butt. This was bad. So, positive feelings there. 2. The skill requirement kept the setting relatively low-magic (i.e. you only get to sword & sorcery type spell-slinging after a few grade increases). I'm guessing the new target number rule is the substitute that's intended to keep mages casting monster spells right out of the gate. I'm optimistic it will work. But even if it doesn't... low- vs. high- magic is a preference thing. 3. Magical equipment that adds to dice pool makes sense. Positive feelings here. This also prevents every spellcaster from swinging a longsword (because, under the old system, why not?) 4. Glad for new players that the EONS spellcaster careers are in the new main book. Looking forward to seeing the new/tweaked versions. Hoping you didn't screw too much with the shaman, that career v1 was awesome. So...thanks Morrus! Looking forward to downloading. [/QUOTE]
