[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 6294294, member: 9037"] He is opposed because he feels I am not giving the character a chance in the new system. And because it will have a slight impact on the game it always does when a character leaves. We had a player take a break because of personal issues and we are bringing in a new player so there will be a lot of disruption as it is and I think he feels this just adds to it. There really is no solution I have spent the last week and half working with him and another friend who knows the Hero system to try and make my character basically the same and we have not been able to do it. Story wise this drives me crazy. Suddenly the familiar that has scouted and spied for us no longer exists. The spells I have used in major combats are gone. I used to be the one with knowledge of nobility and royalty, and knowledge London that is gone and another player now has it. He also wanted us all to have a profession mine was alchemist which is also gone. The only thing that is the same is my ability to summon undead, drain and mage hand. Now these spells are much more powerful than the DnD versions. But all the flavor and things besides spells is gone. The other players did fair bad at all. The druid only lost one spell that was used once in game and that was create water. The fighter lost nothing and actually is much better off in the Hero system he gained a lot like a bunch of skills and weapon and defense that he didn't have. I will say one thing about the hero system no class is stronger than another. [/QUOTE]
