[QUOTE="Merlion, post: 2441018, member: 10397"] I sadly havent actually gotten to play Arcana Unearthed/Evolved (I only own Arcana Unearthed and Diamond Throne) but when/if the day comes that I get to game again, I very much want to try it out. This being the case, and to help compensate for not actually getting to play, I would like to ask a couple of questions for those of you who have...basically, since these things are not iron clad, I just want opinions Question 1: Although I understand that many AU/AE classes are designed specfically and relatively obviously with certain mechanical class roles in mind, I am still curious as to actual in play experiences of which role or roles the classes of AU/E seem to fit into. I also realize that the fact that all spellcasters have access to all spells blurs the lines a good bit, but I'm basically just looking for general opinions Question 2: Your opinion of the balance of AU/AE, mainly in terms of the classes and their balance with each other, and the magic system/spells Again, these things are hardly ironclad and as always with RPGs everything is going to depend on playstyle, I just want to learn a little about how these things seem to be in actual play [/QUOTE]
