I guess that's WOTC applying the "rules creating skills" they developed with stuff like M:TG and Pokemon. (btw: I like both aproaches, I like my rules clean and abstract, but I also like lotsa prose surrounding my abstract rules to explain how these rules aply to the gaming world)Secondly, I personaly found that the difference in rules and also the difference in how the rules are presented make for a different game (or at least the way the game is played). This actualy made me look at other rules systems.take for instance DnD3E, WFRP and L5R. Three totaly different systems:DnD3E: D20+modifier >= targetWFRP: D% all the wayL5R: improved skills give you more dice to rollI've played in games based on these three mechanics and I found each system gives a certain flavor, it's hard to discribe.Maybe this will make it clear: it's as subtle as using regular salt or sea salt.</blockquote>
