[QUOTE="mike0liver121, post: 7480271, member: 6967986"] OK, that's good of you - I gather you are probably the author, so I do appreciate the attention you are giving my query. The trouble is that, reading through the text, I keep finding myself saying "what does that mean?" Just to give one example: "Spending attack dice is important"; my question is "what does "spending" mean here?" Does it mean that I "spend" dice from the pool to see if I hit by rolling them? Or do I exchange them for some other activity? Spending on Damage - apparently, I should retain some of my Attack dice to use for increasing the damage my hit does. I am supposed to "spend" two dice for each extra die of damage I wish to do. What does "spend" mean here? I sort of stopped reading here until I could clarify the intention - in case I became further confused by not having understood this aspect. A worked example would have been useful, so the process could be followed closely but I couldn't find one. I shall carry on reading and keep an eye open for any reply you can provide. Finally, I'd like to say that I love the mechanisms used - the character development particularly - and the fact that I can fit it to my own story line. I am currently preparing a scenario for my grandsons and have purchased a number of items via the Drivethru RPG site. I amusing NBOS's Astrosynthesis and Profantasy's Campaign Cartographer to produce the maps, plans and locations for the scenario. [/QUOTE]
