Re: [RPG]: Scion: Hero, reviewed by yoacusna (2/3)

While I think some of the issues you bring up are valid, I still highly recommend Scion. It is a really fun game. It could use a little tweaking and clarification - for example, the wording on UO has been woefully abused.

Our group has, like probably a few gaming groups, a house rule or two to help clarify things - but overall we stick to the rules. And it is a very fun game.

The setting is interesting, and barring a few unique situations the rules are generally fine.

But yes, it could have been a bit better. I think the big mistake was trying to mash Aberrant's powers with Exalted 2e's system. Scion would have worked better with a fresh approach to Exalted's system rather than taking bits and pieces from older systems.
