In one breath you say you recognize the existence of the MDT, and then you say it makes it certain you can survive more than you should. There is no such certainty. You could die at any time.It's sort of difficult to suggest that's not a major deviation from D&D.As for skills, how would you know? Lovecraft didn't write trilogies. He wrote novellas and short stories. If you are even making a comparison between the two based on their rate of advancement, you are hosed out of the starting gate.I strongly suspect that "mental image" is based on the game itself vice the works of Lovecraft. If that's your definition, it's sort of hard to make a game more like itself feel than itself.At any rate, I was not so much disputing a matter of preferences; I feel both systems have their strengths and weaknesses. If BRP is what you are comfortable with, then I have no reason to disuade you from that. Rather, I was disputing your assertion that d20 will always feel like D&D. That fails to recognize drastic changes that can be and are made to other d20 games.</blockquote>
