[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 1427087, member: 2205"] I've used Sanity on top of d20 Modern for a Dark*Matter conversion, and I'm using it right now for my fantasy game. Granted, it's not really D&D, it's more of a d20 Fantasy as far from D&D as it is from Star Wars or d20 Call of Cthulhu. Basically, I'm not using Sanity to force checks on the PCs very often at all. I'm using it more for the CoC magic system than for the Sanity itself. I like the idea of their being a cost for using magic, and Sanity is that cost. The CoC magic system is absolutely brilliant, and fairly easily adapted to the UA OGC Sanity rules. That's not to say that PCs can't go insane, simply that I don't really anticipate that happening beyond some temporary insanity when confronting a particularly diabolical Outsider or Undead or Abomination type threat. I've also thrown together a few feats, one that works as a type of Sanity resistance, and one that simply gives you back 20 Sanity points everytime you take the feat. So, I'm using it, but not exactly as it was originally intended. [/QUOTE]
