[QUOTE="Achan hiArusa, post: 1922173, member: 2597"] [b]Power up in 3.5e MotRD[/b] I think the plethora of talents gives too much of a powerup all around for characters. Things like Savant, Reduce Damage Reduction, and every other talent can seriously change the tone of the game, making it more heroic (those few that are appropriate can be turned into feats like Contact). In the original 9th level spells had a -9 check modifier giving a 45% chance of getting a spell off with an 18 intelligence. Since the spells took 9 rounds to cast such power spells like meteor swarm were impractical. Sure if you want to do the Mummy Returns type game that's fine, its your game. But I think the box set intended a much more planned type game. In the book, the bookish type Adepts are far, far less powerful than their wizard counterparts. However, the Soldier is just as powerful as his D&D counterpart. Considering that the classes in the PH are supposed to be balanced against each other, this means we have one of the Fox sisters adventuring with Jaret Gax. Having a hypercompetent fighter with less powerful companions again ruins the atmosphere of the original game. [/QUOTE]
