Do you guys want to still do this?  I think it has a fatal flaw in that we have to roll for everything in battle.  I hate ending an RP like this, but I don't see how we can make it work.

I still want to do it, but I think that the best thing to do would be to create multiple solutions to various problems/dillemas.

For example, the need for Soul Thief to be held by someone cursed; while it's a good thing to preserve special roles in the plot for specific PCs, one should also have contingencies for when said PCs' players are absent for some reason. So the solution I would have suggested for that is to create a set of magical gloves that are themselves cursed, but can be used to handle the sword. However, these gloves are [i]less economical[/i] than letting Jotunn's PC handle them, because they grant a temporary - 1 to a given stat.

That way, we can function without Jotunn's PC, but at the same time, it would still be preferable if we had him on our party.
