[QUOTE="Blue, post: 8319430, member: 20564"] I'd love to see flipping the concept of combat and roleplay in a completely new game. D&D makes sure everyone is good at combat, and has their own niche in it that comes up most if not all combats. That's great for a tactical game. For a roleplaying game I'd love to see everyone is good at interacting, each with their own niche that still comes up most combats - for example, not that someone is intimidating, because that's an action and may not come up, but they have presence, which is foundational in a wide array of approaches that would work out to apply to most roleplaying situations - even if in this one having someone who is earnest or vulnerable might work out better, just like different niches in combat are better or worse based on the scene. And for combat, it's fine if we just have a few that are good at combat, make it not a very long process mechanically. Much like Leverage started with a single Hitter. [/QUOTE]
