And Guardian will stop working correctly as a class, you'd need to redesign that too (as will various abilities for other classes).So yeah that would be pretty big "fighting the system", I'd suggest!You can make it dark-as-night without fighting the system - c.f. Age of Umbra for example - you could easily do World of Darkness-style or Buffy-style horror (just make it so all PCs are effectively wearing a gambeson or something unless wearing "serious" armour). I think it would be pretty good for a lot of urban fantasy, and modern guns would be fairly easy to add in especially with the "fiction first" principle to cover "he's just dead" situations.I mean, you could, but you'd just be rolling Duality dice a lot and I imagine most Hope would be being spent on Assist another. If there's little/no combat it'll definitely function, but most of the classes are designed on the assumption there will be a fair bit.</blockquote>
