Means being inventive on your feet and makes things more player driven. At 5th lvl the party have good range of skills, and even though im doing individual xp for each PC, no one is out shining anyone else. using a companion method of casting spells so you can cast them quicker at a penalty. No need to house rule anything in RM as between the 6 or 7 companions there is about 8 ways to do everything!! as a caveat though, if i picked it up fresh tommorrow it would feel hard work & outdated to run, in this era of faster , player driven games.</blockquote>
