I'm sorry to hear of your loss Nanobyte.


AFA the main topic, CRPG's will never be as innovative as PnP's. Doing the unexpected was my favorite part of PnP games. I've done everything from jumping on the back of a Retriever to shoving a vampire out of my way (while under the effects of a Fear spell from a Ghost).

Toss in the innovative ways to use spells, and PnP rules when it comes to character expression.

The best use of a spell I heard of in our group was casting Rock to Mud on the ceiling of a cave just above a super-monster with an Anti-Magic Shell surrounding it. The Mud falls onto the Shell, and turns back to Rock.....end of encounter!
