[QUOTE="JamesonCourage, post: 5700950, member: 6668292"] To be honest, I meant to pick Detect Evil, but I guess my mind just saw "Good" and I associated things incorrectly! I was going for a paladin-monk feel, so Detect Evil is certainly what I wanted! But, the process seemed easy to me. I definitely think he'd be fun to play. And I guess that since I'm wondering how advancement works, what things like "Meditation" do, and so on indicates that the game grabbed me at least somewhat :) But, for my two cents, I probably spent 20 minutes making the character, including reading the process. So, I think that's really fast for character generation, all things considered. If you're looking for a streamlined character generation process for a point-buy system, I'd say that you've found it. That time would have increased by another 20 or so minutes if I were to skim over all the feat trees (skipping stuff that didn't superficially look interesting), so there's that, but once someone gets used to it, I'd say character generation would be very streamlined, which is hard to do with point-buy. So, you have my compliments on that front. Something I wanted to ask about, too. Both of the abilities I chose were from the Mystic tree, but both monk and paladin archetypes are listed under the Warrior path. Should I have picked the Warrior path and bought into Mystic as a secondary path to grab both of them? Are things like attack bonus, AC, or saves tied into paths? As you can tell, I have questions about the system, which is probably a good sign. Anything else I can answer or help with? [/QUOTE]
