It's basically Rolemaster Lite (which is a good thing, because it keeps the fun stuff from RM without all the extra crazy crunch).Combat is really brutal, though. A hillman doesn't just chop you with his axe, he chops off your ear (permanent penalty to hearing checks). A pit doesn't just hurt you, it breaks your leg (hopefully it heals some day!). Likewise, you don't just slash the orc with your sword, you disembowel him.It is quite literally "visceral". Like if Mel Gibson directed the LOTR films as an homage to Peckinpah's "Wild Bunch".I think you should try it.</blockquote>
