The "healing magci euqals no need for healing skills" philosophy that many dungeon crawlers tend to adopt often makes me uncomfortable. Matter of fact when I tried to rework some games in something of my liking, I often try to tie the two together, so that magic is more of boost over the basic skill, instead of an overall automatic success.<br /><br />As for the 80s hair ... I never consciously used them, in spite of being a children of the 80s.Woodclawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06427215237760474498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-21181866891920191722014-07-10T17:14:13.390-05:002014-07-10T17:14:13.390-05:00Sounds dull, tbhSounds dull, tbhScott Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12067161332003628237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-59595517368718255712014-07-10T16:50:29.045-05:002014-07-10T16:50:29.045-05:00All of my characters had awesome 80's hair (an...All of my characters had awesome 80's hair (and some still do!).
