I was going to make a harper, but the character concept I started developing worked better as a thief. So, here he is:

BTW, that second roll is way better than the first. Because HARP's character creation is so heavily influenced by the stats, I think a point buy is the way to go. It ensures that everyone starts out with the same DPs that way.

die_kluge: Cool. 
After this experience, I agree with you completely on the point-buy issue. But I wanted to roll stats this once and see what happened. If I could have left well-enough alone, it'd probably have worked fine, but then I saw one roll go high and I tried to comp for the rest with multiple rolls. Oh well. Next time...

I find HARP to be really flexible, but there are numerous little bitty things that I think should be corrected. Hopefully one of these days they'll release a 2nd edition, and they'll fix all the little things. I think there are some ways to simplify combat, and they could get rid of those criticals tables altogether really easily. The skill check table is also kind of unnecessary. They should just assign movement based on race, not based on height. So, in that respect it kind of penalizes females (something I consider an RPG taboo) since females are generally shorter, and thus have a slightly lower BMR. It would also simplify looking up that BMR chart.
Just little bitty things like that that would make the system just that much more easy. But I still really like the flexibility, and the magic system, and the fact that I can completely and totally create the kind of character I want.

Everything else, I'll agree with, although I'm curious about this one. It's not that I don't agree so much as I'm curious as to how you'd replace it — I have a couple ideas (like using an opposed roll/open-ended roll combo and basing results off the number rolled on the die, without referencing a table), but I'd like to hear yours.die_kluge said:
