[QUOTE="mach1.9pants, post: 5270751, member: 55946"] The starting adventure reminds me of a less sophisticated Oblivion start, that was quite cool in the dungeon escape. You tried stealth and spells and combat for learning. Then, with what you used for the rest of the dungeon, gave you a class rec. i.e. it wasn't based on just one decision. But it is still a good idea. As to where they are available, it is really really hard to find more than a literal handful of DnD books in bookstores in NZ. Even the biggest in the capital may only have 20 or so of all types of RPG.
