Just to add my 2cp here; I'm also in favor of separate combat maps... if we get a party. I *really* enjoy the tactical challenge of managing a group of characters with different focuses in battles, and when playing I end up worrying less about "what if I didn't pick this skill?" because someone in ...

My thoughts on classes- save them for a party-based game. If you stick solo, keep it skill based.

Hrmm.
Personally... I suspect the best idea is to keep Book II and III solo, and move to party-based for the next series. There's going to be a next series, right? :twisted:

As far as the party based, I'd *kill* to see party based done isometric, but where you explore with a single character, and ...

Evil, for fun and profit! <SPOILERS>

Okay, so what's your favourite "evil" moment in Eschalon? Mine was.....
