Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mallus" data-source="post: 5577773" data-attributes="member: 3887">Thanks for summing up how I feel (succinctly, too). I should probably add I'm comfortable with having the rules describe only a small part of my characters, the tip of the fictional iceberg, so to speak.I also wonder what people's reactions are to other systems which do the same thing -- focus on the "adventuring" skills and leave off the rest.My group recently suspended our D&D 4e campaign and started playing Savage Worlds. It's a great little system, both compact and universal, with a fairly robust character creation system, full of various interesting knobs to twiddle. But there's no real crafting system. No Perform: X, either (despite illustrations of nightclub singers and stage magicians in the book). There are professional feats, but they're not analogous to to 3e's Profession: X skill.There are specific rules for making weird science gadgets/drugs, a Feat which allows you to repair your helicopter with duct tape and toothpicks, a la McGyver, and so on.But if you want your character to be able to bake a world-class Linzer torte, dance like Fred Astaire, or build a stellar piece of Mid-Century Modern furniture... well, that's between you, your GM, and the generic task resolution system provided. SW isn't so different for 4e is this regard.Is it difficult to role-play using Savage Worlds. If not, why?BTW, I'm now picturing an espionage campaign in which Charles and Ray Eames are agents working for an secret outfit called the International Style...</blockquote>
