[QUOTE="pawsplay, post: 5515241, member: 15538"] It's charming, but shallow. Even the "optional" ranged weapon rules didn't add much spice. And while there is a certain philosophical cleanliness in giving all monsters one stat, it was really hard for me to wrap my head around: GM: You meet some goblins. *everyone rolls dice* GM: You take 27 divided by 4 equals.... six damage apiece. GM: You meet a beholder. *everyone rolls dice* GM: You take 47 divided by 4 equals.... twelve damage apiece. And it has some really odd features. Like, if you wanted to play an elf or a dwarf or something, there weren't any races or anything. You just write it on your character sheet. But there are rules for playing a leprechaun. And fighter-mages are just better than rogues, period. But if you want to play a game of hungamunga-hurling, spiked club wielding fighter-mages beating up blobs of Monster Rating, this is your game. I suggest, as a wine selection, Boone's Strawberry Hill. [/QUOTE]
