No feats. Not even species. Nothing but attributes. Attributes and gear. So all character growth is through gear. That creates a motivation to go adventuring that's heightened even more than the default for D&D.The particular genius of Knave is that when you get seriously wounded, wounds take up inventory slots. The same inventory slots that hold your gear. There's an intrinsic tension built into the game -- you need to adventure to get gear and gain power, but adventuring can cause you to lose gear and lose power. Brilliant stuff.I first read Knave a couple months ago. My first thought was to fuse it with Shadowdark to have at least a little bit of additional character customization. I looked around but couldn't find an existing game which did that, so I started writing up my own. A few weeks later, Crows was announced. I guess something is in the air.</blockquote>
