Converted from Phorums BB System
I do agree that the price is a bit much I still bought them and are generally happy with except for the flat stat cost and the rolling of psionics into superpowers. What gets me about the stat thing is that parries are going to be extremely hard to do with the almost mandatory lowered skills (even with capping physical skills at 4 per level) and the loss of PD (whose loss I don't mourn). At least the ehanced defense stuff made into core.
The loss of Psionics really got to me though. I liked the way the old system worked. It felt "psionic" it had a distinctly different feel from other power systems. At least the didn't alter the rules radically so I couldn't just use 3e Psionics anyway. I'm wondering though if all redone systems are going to be rolled into a few like, spirit magic, vehciles, gadgets, and high tech stuff.
