Blades, Dungeon Dwellers & Dragons

Another in Misfit Studios’ line of microsupplements, we get 5 magic blades. The introduction informs us that each Blade’s powers should be hidden, and gives guidelines on researching them…complete with a table to roll on (there is a unique one for each blade), detailing just how much information the researcher finds. A Critical Failure means that they get it ALL wrong. This is a great concept, but stumbles just a bit in execution: If they players roll it, they will know they got a Critical Failure, and will suspect something. If the GM rolls it, they essentially lose the right to use a benny to modify the roll, which some could construe as unfair. Other than that, I love it…and I have been told by the author that a benny solution is coming soon.
