[QUOTE="Rant, post: 8455143, member: 7033019"] That's a bit inaccurate, as Level Up [I]is[/I], specifically, a [I]different rule system[/I]. That's evidently by design. It's not an add-on, its a replacement for all the core rules. So yes, it is exactly [I]like [/I]they use a different rule system, because they do. Level Up classes use the Level Up rule system, D&D classes use the D&D rule system. No, again, there are lot of differences beyond those. A bunch of core feats work differently than the D&D feats they replace. A bunch of Level Up spells work different than the D&D spells they replace. A bunch of core rules work differently from the D&D rules they replace, like critical hits, Press the Attack as a universal combat option, the armor and weapon tables, and many, many more. Different does not mean "bad" but it does mean "different." Replacing rules is different from adding on to rules. A game expansion adds new options, it doesn't change existing rules. A rule replacement is a new system. Level Up is a new system, a new game, that's compatible with the adventures of another game. [/QUOTE]
