I can give you a little bit of a rundown, but the book is in many ways a dreamscape toolkit full of options upon options that are meant to both spark the readers imagination (from designing the dreamscape to deciding how characters interact with the dreamscape and a whole variety of other issues, like dream symbology for instance) and to provide enough flexibility to allow a GM to create their own unique dreamscapes (I provide an assumed Dream Point System, but I also provide an appendix of alternate dream abilities that mimic the Dream Point system without introducing the concept of dream points, though some GMs might even decide to use a mixture of the two ;-).Dream points are like a mixture of hit points (b/c the GM may decide that some dream creatures attack them instead of hit points) and hero points (thanks Steve Kenson! ;-) rolled into one... you expend them to do extraordinary things... there is a list of dream point abilities in the game like dream benefit (which activates an improved version of a feat you have access to), heroic surges (extra attack or move), rerolling d20 checks, etc...You can also activate surreal class features based upon your class and level... in addition, you can improve skill checks and activate dream uses of skills (create spell-like and supernatural effects on yourself)... including the Dream Weaving skill (which alters the essence of the dream).Spells have spell templates (thank you Monte Cook! ;-) that you can add to them to create unique and surreal effects...Of course with all these benefits monsters are left behind right? Not when you consider that they have access to all of these extra abilities (or at least the ones the GM wishes them to have access to) and a few creature type specific ones to boot! (Ah the monster feats... they are sooo... nasty ;-)I hope this short (and not at all exhausting) overview of the Dream Point system will help you in your decision.Good Gaming,Joseph</blockquote>
