[QUOTE="DeanW, post: 4954960, member: 66378"] What is the best way to inform you of sections that might benefit from clarification? Is there any way to see what you are aware of and what you aren't? Would you prefer a list of multiple things at once or bring them up as you find them? On page 26, the feats section reads, "All characters receive one feat at 1st level, and an additional feat every 3 levels." This would imply getting feats at levels 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, and 19. The table below shows that you gain feats at level 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18. I believe the table is correct since it corresponds with the 3.5 PHB, but thought I would mention the inconsistency. As someone who has never read or played 3.x *, I'm certainly not the intended audience for Trailblazer. Despite my lack of knowledge about 3.x, I'm finding Trailblazer to be extremely understandable. I briefly compared Trailblazer to the 3.5 PHB and was glad to see that most** (if not all) information needed to learn to play is included in Trailblazer. Thus far, I have not had the need to reference the 3.5 PHB for clarification. Hopefully this holds true as I read more, as it would mean that Trailblazer is the only rules document needed. I found chapter one to be extremely well-written, especially in regard to how you explain the math. As a math major, I've read a lot of math texts and your explanations of the mathematics behind the system are much clearer than many textbooks. Once I've read the rules more completely, I'll be sure to post more thoughts. *I have played other RPGs, especially Dungeons & Dragons 4e. I also have some basic knowledge of 3.5, since I have played DDO for about a month. However, DDO doesn't follow the 3.5 rules exactly and certainly doesn't require a good understanding of them to play. **I know that spell lists aren't included in Trailblazer, but in order to learn the game's concepts, they aren't necessary.
