I'm with Jim Hague, modern firearms DESTROY. I'm all about a vampire hunter taking a greatsword to some necks, but the cold reality is that 50 caliber sniper rifles will decapitate ANYTHING. The vampire's advantage lies in magic, speed, skill, trickery, and things like that, not actually having flesh capable of withstanding this level of force.I'm not especially excited about this game. Trying to play core D&D with level adjustments is already wonky and unbalanced. Compare a level 5 pixie fighter to a level 9 human wizard, and there's really no comparison. A vampire's got a what, +8 level adjustment? So level 4 vampire fighters are rolling with level 12 human sorcerers? I figure there won't be D&D style magic, but still. Unless there's a few big changes in how the LA system works, this game is going to flop on its face. I'm not about to drop $35 just to hope to be able to cannibalize it.Hopefully it'll be better than I think.On a scale of suck to awesome, I give it a meh.</blockquote>
