Message: <blockquote data-quote="KDLadage" data-source="post: 2008076" data-attributes="member: 88">updated on 22-NOV-02Oone games is an interesting little company. Not often does one see a movie trailer for an RPG supplement. They have some good ideas, and most of them are well carried out. I disagree with a few choices they have made, but the fact remains, they do good work. For example: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> the first race offered up is this 12-page PDF download is the Drakand. They are the 'mysterious and wild race' in their settings. Overall, a well written race. However, they are given -1 WIS and -1 INT -- many times have the people at WotC explained why giving an odd-numbered modifier is a bad thing. I tend to agree with WotC on this one. After an e-mail or two, I can see the reasoning that Oone Games has for using the +/-1 modifiers. I still disagree with it, but that is a matter of aesthetics, not a matter of the 'meat' of what they have written.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> in the classes section, we see the Cavalier. Not a bad class, overall, but I see two things that seem off-kilter to me. The first is the 'automatic income' -- this seems to go against the grain of most classes, somehow assuming that they do not get a regular income. Still, I can live with it. The second thing is the fact that of all of the special abilities of a Cavalier, only two are listed on the level-progression chart.</li> </ul>These two examples seem a little odd, when placed against the backdrop of the fine work in the Magical and Clerical section of the booklet. If all of the booklet had been like this, I would have given it a 5. As it is, I drop the rating to a '4.'</blockquote>
