Legends & Labyrinths: Opinions?

[Votan]

I have been discussing this new d20 adaption with one of my friends:

8-Bit Funding

The author has been posting stuff on the system and it seems to be an interesting blend of d20 and OD&D. Anybody have any thoughts or insights?

All I know is that you can find previews and insights over on the author's blog, The Alexandrian.

I saw one thing in the fighter rules he posted a few days ago that turned me off. The fighter is hard wired to use 2 handed weapons. I really dislike that.

Yeah, I saw that feat @ level 19 as well. It was an interesting idea to "pre-select" the fighter feats. It leads to a class that doesn't power up or down as more feats become available. But it leads to the risk of picking a sub-optimal choice. That particular feat is a tough one for a sword and shield warrior, especially given how D&D generally under-rates the effectiveness of shields.
