[QUOTE="Darth Quiris, post: 6477490, member: 6763029"] I really had to respond to this. On the surface FC 'might' look like another version of D&D it is far, far different from it and is really its own beast, much like how Radiance is its own unique beast. FC has a radically different underlying paradigm to it... the big one is that it doesn't have the problem D&D has with the disparity between warriors and mage users. Of all the classes in FC only ONE uses magic spells, and they are not divided into Arcane and Divine by default. One spell casting class out of the core classes. That is very opposite D&D right there as almost every class has some magic to it. FC has no dump stats, has a much more robust Feat system, uses a NPC system that doesn't invalidate any monsters as the characters gain levels, and has an Action Point system that make fate points in Fate games pretty lame in comparison. And its Alignment system is amazing. It provides GMs tools to customize campaigns by just tweaking things in the rules that can make every game feel fundamentally different... it can do all kinds of power levels in one ruleset. I can't decide if I like it more than Radiance as both are really amazing. Both show the glaring holes in D&D and Pathfinder to me that makes them almost unplayable to me. Thats how solidly built FC and Radiance is made. [/QUOTE]
