[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 2128323, member: 725"] Personally i'm a bit crunch tired and i think i'm not the only one. While Arcana Evolved is a wonderfull book, but the way the rule changes and the liberal addition of crunch makes the book really an alternative version of D&D and basically a new game. While that might be interesting, it's not eay to start a new game if everyone needs another new book to get started and needs to learn a lot of new rules. But to be honest, AE (and it's predecessor) does create a whole different feel then most games. So the question becomes, do you want to go the whole nine yards and pull a monte and make an alternative phb? Or do you want to use the D&D rules and make some 'tweaks' to give a certain feel to your setting. If the only thing you want to do is tweak the rules, then please go easy on the crunch. We don't need another class if it can be achieved with a little tweak of a 'standard' class. Don't make prestige classes just because you can, try to make do with what you've already got and only create new crunch when it's neccessary, that way any changes get noticed more and will 'accentuate' the difference with a 'normal' setting.
