I wonder if any of you PATHFINDERS/D&D3.5 Roleplayers have tried to play GURPS 4ed. Or do you like me("i have been a dungeonmaster the last 22 years in D&D.")have players who only wants to play D&D/Pathfinder... What i have seen GURPS 4ed is a wonderful, low fantasy game, with a better combat system than Pathfinder.
You should buy Warhammer 1ed, because you will only need this one book. The magic system is a point based system, you can cast the spells you want, and it cost your wizard a number of points. Wonderful low magic setting. 2ed is better balanced, but you have to invest in more books to get the same amount of details, found in 1ed. If i were you i would invest my money in GURPS 4ed, and then buy the empire gazzetter for 2ed.
Paizo could make the magic point based= 1st level spells cost one point, and 2ed level spells cost 2 points, and so on. How many points should the magic user have? well they could just take int stats for wizards and cha stats for sorcerers = a wizard has 18 in int he would start with 18 points to cast spells with...
You should try Gurps 4 ed. Just start with Gurps lite, its free to download. The game is very easy to learn, and one of the best roleplaying games on the market today. And you can play in all time ages. With 350 skills, alot of advantages(Feats) and disadvantages, you use the point buy system, to build your character the way you want him/her to be!!!!. And you can be a superhero, one day and next time you play you can make a world war 2 session. Super good game Sign in to create or edit a product review. |
