Re: [RPG]: Dread: The First Book of Pandemonium: Unrated Edition, reviewed by SteveD

I have one tiny quibble with Dread, and that is that a few of the spells feel like they're basically copies of one another. Diablerie, Emute, and Miserere, for example, are all spells that create illusions that drop victims' Strength to 1. Actually, Emute and Miserere seem identical (similar casting time and duration) except that Miserere has a larger area and a more potent effect (dropping both Strength and Sense to 1). Since spells cost the same both to buy and to use, this seems a touch redundant.

It's a minor thing, far from game-breaking, but I just wanted to comment on it.
