[QUOTE="Azgulor, post: 4971837, member: 14291"] Those match my goals pretty well! Given those goals, I'll add the following: The TW Player's Manual replaces the Cleric with the Priest, the Paladin with the Godsworn, the Bard with the Initiate, the Wizard with the Mage, and the Sorceror with the Witch. They are all more thematically classic Swords-n-sorcery rather than D&D versions (not better, just different). Each class gets a list of abilities to pick from rather than a defined progression of feat-like powers, so a priest doesn't have to Turn Undead if you don't want it to do so. Also, cure wounds spells have a trade-off. The HP damage is healed, but a corresponding amount of non-lethal damage is incurred. I also preferred the TW methods for spell failure, quick-casting, rituals, etc. over True Sorcery. I'd classify TW's system as "medium magic" and True Sorcery as closer to "low magic". I think both systems were developed by the same author so of all the options mentioned, they're the closest to each other. [/QUOTE]
