[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 5678287, member: 51930"] Oooh, that sounds nice. Are there... stats for Radagast? Not that they'd ever come up, but what if orcs attacked his forest home, and some fell creature carried him away? And do the eagles look powerful statistically, such that they could contend with a future nazgul? Are monster stats fundamentally different from player stats? Do they have basic skills or options for more than just attacking, like if both groups (PCs and monsters) are in a race or test of skill to reach the same goal? Thanks. I've been burned by games before, that I'm super interested in and then find they can't do what I want. I think you may understand, in that expectations differ from the end product; not that the product is bad, simply that it's not in form what I thought initially. (like the Star Trek next gen movies were fantastic, even Insurrection and Nemesis, but I didn't have an open mind when I saw them originally; or like having a great girlfriend, but since expecting a super model/millionaire/rhodes scholar means her natural traits are seen as "flaws" rather than, in fact, features: getting over those inborn personal deficiencies allows me to appreciate the truth that is the girlfriend/TNG films, rather than harp on them because I'm displeased with (ultimately) myself. Yeah, I went there :p ) Worst comes to worst, when I'm done my current RPG projects, I can delve into Tolkien and come up with some homebrew Maiar rules. Heck, I have no idea who the two Blue wizards of the south are beyond some brief mention in the Silmarillion, so they could be either the two players who "just gotta" play wizards (including me), or they could be additional patrons! Or someone could play Gandalf the Grey, or something. [/QUOTE]
