If they have just enough new stuff at each level then I can handle their capabilities in advance, but if they gain too much each time then I'm sure I won't be able to.Absolutely agree! Those are a major part of my adventures and I want the game to support them well and make them interesting... I want poisons to be device plots, not stupid damage bonuses (as if the game was scarce with them...).Only if they can succeed at providing rules that allow the PCs to affect mass combats with what they do, but not if the rules are just useless mechanics for rolling "who wins" between two armies. If it's not possible, I'll just live without mass combat rules as usual.</blockquote>
