First, a small clarification for Marissa: MagicalPen didn't create the Bloody Raven's, I did.  They're my pet project, so I'm the expert.  :-)<br/><br/>Secondly, assassination's: I'm actually okay with the queen being assassinated, so long as it's done in a clean, legitimate manner. Which, going on what Nikkie said would happen, that sounds like it's going to be what I want.  :-)<br/><br/>Thirdly, character sheets: I like the idea of a point based system to govern physical prowess and skills like swordplay, etc. I cut my teeth on roleplaying with Dungeons and Dragons, so no stats has always seemed odd to me. And doing this system, it stops arguments. Instead of someone going "My character is a better swordsman because of [reason]" and then someone else going "Well, yes, but my character [reason], so he's better." "Well, no, he's not, because...blahblah" "Blahblah you're wrong" "Blah blach no you" ...etc. That whole situation becomes impossible to create because it just boils down to "Character A has four points in sword fighting. He is objectively better than Character B, who has three points in sword fighting. Character A will win, unless Character B does something to even the odds."<br/><br/>Fourthly, marriage: From Henrik's perspective, trying to arrange a marriage between her and a non-royalty would be insulting, but he'd probably be the only one to swallow his pride on the matter for the sake of peace.
