Normal charactrs can still dvelop their powers, but they will need to spend their character feats and develop the power skills as cross-class skills instead, so the Tormented Hero class becomes a fast route to power (this description may make more sense if you read UniversalFX).  You would probably need some system to 'force' people to take levels in Tormented Hero if they built up their angst, but we've not got that far with the system yet.Anyway, thats about where were at (apart from a wodge load of nasty monsters we've been working on to populate our own horror world) so there might be something worth using...cheerio,Ben, Malladin's Gate Pres</blockquote>
