I know of several issues with the campaign. The first is that for whatever reason it seems to complicate things especially when a new character comes in, the when did I gain which level issue becomes ultra important. The second issue is that not all NPC classes were created equal. For instance the adept and warrior are far and away superior to the commoner in every aspect. The third issue I know of is that it creates a little more head ache for a Dm two balance the parties encounters. The last issue I know of is that some pc classes will not be as effective without first level considerations (most noticebly the rogue, without those 8+Int x 4 skill points...whew...ugly). I know this is not really the advice you want to hear, but if it was up to me (and IMC it is...teehee) I wouldn't do it again.We've had nothing but issues with how people spent those npc skill points and how people qualified for things. I think it has been WAY more headache than it was worth.Sorry if that wasn't helpfulDrexes</blockquote>
