[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 8092012, member: 6779310"] Running 3 different systems weekly... Vaesen (Fria Ligan, year zero engine) a 2d20 system playtest item. (Modiphius, 2d20) Monarchies of Mau (Onyx Path, canis minor system.) After two sessions, my reaction to Canis Minor is that it solves some of my issues with D&D 5e... but has its own. Solve 1: "can suffer 3 failures before dying" and "one success stabilizes", as well as death saves being DC15 Con Solve 2: no fixed progression path in classes Solve 3: spell point system new problem 1: I'm not fond of "advance when GM says to". new problem 2: some spells actually less clear than their 5E Difference: 10 levels instead of 20 Difference: Fortune points and piles. Difference: initiative handoff rather than rotation by roll. The fortune points are nice, and replace inspiration; Dogs always pool, cats may pool or keep separate. A point can... Reroll any 1 die cast 1 spell known by the character seize the initiative as an interrupt It's a nice 5E variation. [/QUOTE]
