[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 4928090, member: 2067"] Personally, I would not mind seeing a stunt system that could effectively replace the powers system. I mean, it's halfway there right now, what with the DC's and damage. ;) But that's just me, and I would probably be content with a more reasonable middle ground than what we have right now. Ah, I might've been unclear. My reason for mentioning Vampire was simply to note that role-playing (that is, playing the role of a Vampire) was what was generally appealing about the game. Mechanically, you're right, it wasn't much, but it let you feel like a Vampire, which was the basic appeal of the game: I get to play the role of a vampire. That doesn't necessarily mean it needed social mechanics per se, but it certainly didn't take a "we won't tell you how to role-play" stance, whereas earlier-edition D&D (and 4e) generally do take that kind of stance. Though, in retrospect, even that's not quite accurate, since 4e and 2e (and 1e) certainly gave you advice on how to be a big fat hero. ;) Guess vampires are just sexier. [/QUOTE]
