I would hardly even call it 10% compatible... There are few monsters. Characters achieve status situationally, rather than through some experience grind. Combat, even for highly experienced characters, is deadly. Perhaps the second most powerful character in the book, physical attribute-wise, is felled by infection from a minor wound. Does this sound like something from Game of Thrones, Black Company or applicable to either setting?Over on RPG.net, I'm getting into a psuedo arugement with someone about the 'feel' of Game of Thrones and how it couldn't be modelled with standard d20 style characters despite the fact that Black Company, Grim Tales and others are able to do exactly that and remain almost 100% compatible with D&D, which Game of Thrones, based on previews thus far, does not seem to acheive.By compatible, I mean I can take a scout from Black Company, put him in a Forgotten Realms campaign. I can take a Jack of All Trades, a non-arms, non-spelluser, and put him in a Greyhawk campaign. I don't have to tweak their hit dice. I don't have to mess with their skill points. I don't have to mess with their special abilities.Opinions?</blockquote>
