It was informative and well written.

I've always had a love/hate relationship with FH.

I always hated the fact that a GM had to spend a LOT of time developing a magic system, and if you had a magician player who was better at 'system tweaking' than you, you would have to spend a LOT more time carefully considering the possible effect of each new spell that person created.

Or not let them create new spells, and endure the whining.

On the other hand, I LOVE playing a warrior in FH. Once you have a few skill levels in your favorite weapon -- hey, you have CHOICES! Real choices! Meaninginful choices!! Choices that actually make a difference in how the combat plays out!!! And best of all, you don't have to memorize or look up vast numbers of stunts and combat manoevers! You can use your skill points for OCV, DCF, Damage, or Stun, in any proportion, and that gives you a TREMENDOUS amount of choice!!!

Fantasy Hero -- the game I love to play and hate to ref.
