Perhaps you could ban certain feats or talents, but I think removing them entirely is a bit much. Personally I like to see SOME mechanical development for my characters.Removing the advanced classes is fine. They're really just flavour anyway, and a couple are a bit too flashy.Personally I hate the sanity system from CoC. But I suppose if you like it, you can keep it.As to making firefights more deadly? The damage threshold thing is a good one. I'd also suggest some sort of penalty for a successful save against massive damage - temporary stunning or nausea, application of negative levels (ie a cumulative -1 to all saves, attacks and skill checks) or something similar. Otherwise it's just too easy to get a fort save which makes you all-but unkillable, and you're back into wading into firefights without a thought again.</blockquote>
