[QUOTE="Dark Mistress, post: 5635804, member: 11816"] Mechanically i wouldn't make there be a difference. That is honestly just asking for trouble cause a lot of it is personal opinion. Not to mention some things it is hard to tell if it is genetics or culture that makes a difference in genders. Plus a lot of things one is good at or the other not is not covered real well in the rules. As far as setting, I think that is ok with a following points. 1) Everyone is ok with it. 2) If one gender is seen as less than the other than their should be benefits to go along with it. For example if men are seen as much better warriors and women laughed at as unable to fight. Than any man fighting a women would just like in RL likely hold back. Which could prove fatal to the man if the woman can fight and doesn't hold back. Another example is guards might over look a woman going in to a place they would never let a guy into. Or might talk about stuff around her they wouldn't around men etc. My point being if their is going to be limits and draw backs then their should be benefits as well from that. Of course what I said could be reversed if men are seen as less in the setting. but from what you said I got the impression you wanted to go more historic. [/QUOTE]
