The offer is the same as to Oelm - comments, suggestions.

The main comment is that there is an attempt to roll back to SoD. Remove experience, remove classes, etc. Instead, you should continue the development ideology of TE outlined by Horn in the manual.

If you make a hybrid, it will be like this - SoD players will stay in SoD because the level of conservatism there is such that even changing minor game rules is met with great resistance, changing the template causes a violent reaction, and mentioning TE leads to an astral projection.

I'm exaggerating, but the point is roughly clear. That they play SoD because it is good old SoD, not because it is better or worse than TE. And you won't attract these people with your version.

Your target audience is TE players. And by taking this approach, you are doing them a huge disservice.
