[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 3120351, member: 6957"] Hmmm, in reply to the OP - I think that you will find it an enjoyable break from D&D. Characters do die more often, and stay dead. Even the survivors are likely to end up missing important bits of their bodies. (And occassionaly their minds....) Magic is [i]dangerous[/i] amd can mark its users in ways that even a common man can see. And Witch Hunters have been known to go after even sanctioned Wizards. There are aspects of the combat system that I do not love (the armor/toughness/wounds thing - the thickness of your skin is more important than the thickness of your armor...), but it is fun. That said, the game is a lot of fun, feeling a bit like a gothic version of Call of Cthulhu. One of these days, when I have the free time, I want to do up an alternate random occupation system for the game, I liked the way 1st ed. worked in that regard, where you could at least pick what [i]type[/i] of character you were playing from broad categories. (Academic, Ranger (outdoorsy types), Rogue, and Warrior) - so you would not end up with a character who's stats do not match up with his occupation. The Auld Grump [/QUOTE]
