It provides a ranking system for skills of all kinds; and experience is used to increase your rank in whatever skill you choose. There are no character 'types' - you can have a character that is good at everything if you spent enough playing time at it. The combat system sounds like just what you're looking for, including armor that reduces damage rather than reducing the chance of being hit. A boxed starting set sells for around $20, and is all you need besides percentile dice to play. Larry Woestman Hewlett Packard Personal Computer Division Corvallis, Oregon or hplabs!hp-pcd!larry
