Resting for 6 hours will only net me a recovery of 1d6 Arcane Energy Points assuming I was uninterrupted. I can only use this spell about 4 times before I'm out of points. If I'm wielding my Staff, then it's reduced by 1 point, but you get the picture. My go-to spell is Archofaxius (which fires out a jet of ore, pummeling my foe.hehe) costs 8 points. My character has 32 Arcane Energy points. I'm going to put some numbers with this just to give you a feel. I can cast any of my spells (which use my Arcane points) as long as I have the points to spend. I have a set number of Arcane Energy points to start with. When I played Star Wars, the Jedi hero would walk in at outclass everyone. When I played/GM'd D&D or Pathfinder, the Wizards would walk in and mow everything down. The thing I like most about The Dark Eye right now (and I do understand this is a narrower subset of the game) is that it feels like it has a good balance and magic doesn't seem to break the game (now remember, we've only been playing a few months). I'm ashamed to say that after I received it, it sat on a shelf until my brother asked "what's this?" a couple of years ago. I was a backer for The Dark Eye when they rolled it out a few years ago because the setting sounded interesting. I've played every version of D&D, Pathfinder, Star Wars RPGs, Star Frontiers, Alternity, geez, there's probably more. As a little background, I am definitely an older gamer. There is so much more, and as I learn more, I become more enamored with the game. 1's are your friends!īut that's just a topical mechanical glimpse of what The Dark Eye accomplishes. The way the system is set up, rolling low is what you want to do in The Dark Eye. Combat, if using a weapon, is still resolved by rolling a single d20. When I first read the rules, I was slightly concerned rolling 3 d20's might be too cumbersome for skill checks, but as we've played the game, it is running smoothly. and gives you the opportunity to play in a diverse number of campaigns and still remain in The Dark Eye world. It is pretty robust with maps/regions/etc. One of the hallmarks of The Dark Eye is the setting of Aventuria. We started about 3 months ago, and I have to say I have really been enjoying the game. I'm actually in a Dark Eye campaign right now.
