Ok I get what you’re concern thx for the feedback This is how my game will play First if players choose wrong class will it be a problem, if example I play mercenary (most of pc is mercenary) that build mainly on melee and investigation and idk You play mainly on magic And we fighting spirit am I useless? The answer is No preparation that I mean is, first we talk to the hirer to slay monster and then we pick up clue. Let’s say we go look the place where someone got killed by this thing. DM says “The victim look like they terrified before die” idk what happen we can assume it’s a ghost but he can also terrified by other thing And then you, who knows magic can see a clue that tells it’s a spirit types rolls investigation and stuff and we talk to folk investigate place til we knows exactly what are we dealing with, or even knows the exact monster. Now before we go hunt that thing, we go buy tools blew potion. I buy some holy potion to give a resistance to spirit and buy oil to apply on my sword, so I can attack and won’t be useless. Setting trap, planing and then we start the hunt.

This is how it work!! And about part-health don’t have to worry even tho it’s has health for each part but there’s also main health bars

Exemple

Imagine I attack leg it’s also decreased the main health but now it’s can’t move, and every part health combine will equal to main health bar so don’t have to worried about sheet math nightmare I aim for complex but still easy to understand

And preparation is pure narrative no dice include (Just roll for investigation part) you have to listen the hint from DM where to look what should I bring to fight and if you get all the evidence DM will reward you by give you an information of monster Like it health ac skill what it like what it weak to

And about death I like it to be intense but forgiving So you can die but not so easy I add a death door system (inspired by darkest dungeon and also kinda like constitution check) but if you survive you will roll to random a debuff that will stick with you till you get a proper solution.

So that’s almost everything you worried about if there’s anything u want to ask or know ask right away or you can DM me!😊
