[QUOTE="deganawida, post: 8938142, member: 67836"] I did pick up a PDF of the RC a few weeks ago, since it was only $10 at DTRPG, and recent reviews made it sound like PoD options aren’t great due to scan quality. Will say this RC PDF ain’t all that, either, as it looks like straight scans into Adobe. Oh, well. I really like a lot of what I see here. There is a definite “zero to hero” that in my opinion AD&D has never captured that well. I have to say that the Mystic looks seriously imbalanced to me. Knights kind of get the shaft compared to Paladins, wand especially to Avengers, who can get knight benefits through deception. Still no idea what separates a Magist apart aside from not having a tower. I may be weird, but I found Druid pretty cool. Still trying to wrap my head around weapon specialization. There are differences with AD&D for sure, and the format of the PDF, along with my issues reading and retaining from electronic media (apart from forums), have me struggling to grok it. Overall, though, I really like the growth embraced in it, and I want to get the actual BECMI books as I have money (and if in PoD). [/QUOTE]
