[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 1068980, member: 957"] Then we disagree. I do not see the dwarf/elf antagonism as being as built into the system as various racial relations in AU are. Pointing out that the D&D system may not fit with other systems is irrelevant. If D&D was advertised as compatible with some other system and the Vancian system disutped that, then the claim would not be correct. Which is my point regarding AU and how it was advertised. If I found the akashic worth any of this, then perhaps I would go to that. I don't. I don't see how confining the effects of magic is a net plus. I understood that. I was simply ruling out one of those options. To be compatible it would need to work side by side with the standard system without overshadowing players that choose to use the standard system. I expected that from AU and feel that I clearly did not get it. I clearly stated this already. So I do not know if you did not pay enough attention or you are ignoring what I said. Swallowing camels and choking on gnats. I find certain issues in AU, particularly the magic system, to be markedly out of balance. I felt safe assuming that a Monte Cook product would be better balanced than the Ninja of the Cresent Moon. [/QUOTE]
