[QUOTE="Jackcarter, post: 110445, member: 1651"] After seeing couple reviews and whathaveyou here, I wonder whether or not it might not be better just buying WoT instead of SS? The magic system, from a cursory glance, seems somewhat similar to each other and the non-magic classes from both seem redundant. However, WoT has better production value and the concensus I've seen thus far on its non-magic classes is that they are very good, solid, alternative low-magic fantasy archetypes. As for magic, not having neither products, it just seems from first glance that the Weave is more elegant and functional than SS. Especially if what Arcady is saying about SS is essentially correct. There does seem to be problem with the lack of spells in WoT vis-a-vis SS, but I've heard from few people that standard spells can be switched to Weave with little effort. Since you are getting good low-magic classes and a solid magic system that blends feats and skills well with WoT, wouldn't it be better to get WoT if one desires to play in a low-magic setting? SS Codex has many more spells, but the magic system, going by Arcady's criticism, seems to be less than perfect and in need of some revisions. Personally, I would not like a magic system that does not give enough emphasis to the importance of levels, as that makes multi-classing way too attractive otherwise. What do you think, especially for those who have both products? [/QUOTE]
