The idea of Carr being a Muggle is totally cool. "My Dad was a rocket scientist, so my ability at rocket is... nil, actually, I took Archeology as a major".Yes, and... it was done. This book was apparently (google-lore) published first in 1986. in 1985, the year before, the Way of the Tiger series was published. Not only were fights more detailed in general (you could select several attack types during half the first book, then you used Kwon's Flail all the time anyway) but some fights where narrated exactly like you say, with tactical chocies to be made. At least, the final boss fight with the the Grandmaster of Shadow was several sections of ultra-cool narrated fight in tome 4. And I thin it was already the case with the Yaemon fight in book 1.That's why you don't roll. You use the number table, a tool which rewards immensely the player skills at memorizing how to push the pencil toward the area weighted with the big juicy numbers.Though very consistent with the "I don't want by body punctured by pointy objects" ethos.True of course. I remember a lot of big offenders in FF, less so in other series. But perhaps I'd be disappointed if doing a Critical Reading of them as an adult.Actually, he quite rightly reasoned that should something happen to him and his son was to collect his inheritance, he'd be raised by Marla, then probably go to Wendel for information as the closest person the a magic user on his island. So giving him one of the books the son would seek (and was actually seeking) in book 1 was extreme foresight. Probably magical foresight. Except, well, nobody in book 1 seems to want to give poor Carr his father's books or care about his quest (or sanity).Yup!</blockquote>
