Stuff I like:
Stuff I'm not so fond of:
The Gloranthan background information is what should have been in
RQ3; lots more interesting than the "Fantasy Europe" stuff. And we can
now create decent Gloranthan characters without having to own two or
three suppliments.
The new version of the Familiar spell is a tremendous
improvement. Adding a First Aid roll to the Heal roll when re-attaching
limbs makes good sense. And the new version of Form Set (substance) is
pretty decent; the old version lent itself to abuse by the creative.
Why is Shimmer now Parry/Dodge Sharp? The logic of the shimmering
not affecting an archer's chance to hit you if you aren't aware he's
there escapes me; sort of like camouflage that only works if you can see
your opponent. Perhaps it could be changed to allow for a dodge under
circumstances when it otherise would be impossible.
I'm more accepting of the build system than I was initially, but
I'm still against the notion of charging a background point for picking
up a skill from another profession. A higher cost for picking up an
outside skill at the same level as your profession might be okay,
though.
It seems odd to me that in the description of the Dragon Pass
area, ducks are mysteriously absent...
