[QUOTE="Drifter Bob, post: 1670052, member: 17723"] We tried to do it in a way that was basicaly scaled, so that you as a dM can use whatever extent of rules you feel comfortable with, and we also tried to smoothly integrate it into D&D, by sticking with the D&D feel. It's not hard bitten realism, it's more cinematic realism if you will. Characters are still pretty heroic. There are also a few non-combat optional rules which blend in a bit, things like optional grooming, clothing and jewelry modifiers to charisma. That way, a rich guy well dressed, coiffed, and decorated with plenty of 'bling bling' can be more impressive than some slob in rusty chainmail! That was added because of the often remarkable historical obsession with looks and appearance of so many warriors; from Leonidas' 300 Spartans brushing their hair before battle with the Persian Army, to the ostentation of Kngihts and colorful outfits of Landsknechts...
