I also think that variable XP tables by class and nonstandard attribute bonus schemes are goofy. I've heard the justifications, and they just don't wash with me. If you're using a comparative value system behind the XP charts, why not make the values even out to allow people to tinker with the rules on an even keel? I can't port in easy multi or splitclass rules, which for me gets rid of part of the appeal. Why have box set style D&D attribute mods when you can just adjust the Prime difficulties? 14/20 bases work fine with the standard charting *and* allow porting from many other systems.But the Primes system is great -- so great it takes a second to absorb just because you expect a convoluted rule to get out there, but it never happens. C&C bards and monks are well done -- so much so that <a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=7537&src=enworld" target="_blank">one of my own products</a> is part homage to the C&C martial bard, rendered core OGL style. The Knight is a great class, too.The only thing I'd say is missing is a clear listing of niche-protected class abilities and abilities that any character can use with comparable chances of success.</blockquote>
