The lifepath system really just tries to make sure your character's life is sensical in the medieval-esque context of most fantasy RPGs.

It sounds vaguely similar to the one I'm playing (S&S), except for the target number, which is usually different in every target... about spells and whatnot, I'm not quite sure, being that I haven't gone into that part of S&S yet. (An Oriental and an Italian sessions, neither including magical elements, save for one enemy or two we encountered).What does seem to be more easy in S&S is the character creation, which is actually quite open... you can pretty much be whatever you want, as long as you don't go over the points to distribute, and you have a wide range of things to be, even though the core book only says about 8 or so. But anyhow, BW does sound good.I want to hear everything about it when you start playing it :) (So you better blog it!) I like d6 systems, they tend to be fast and easy to play.
