Nice screenshots, but the Intimidation description could use some rephrasing.

"Cower" is what the scared person does, not the scary one. (Whether Sarvis will be doing it in 100 years, I leave to another thread...)

It should say something like "the ability to make others cower in submission."

(You could also "cow" people -- and a sly character could "gull" them -- but I'd rather not invite a 12-page debate with KC.) ;)

EDIT: And as long as I'm picking nits, I can see the idea behind the logo, but it looks like stone that has been burned with acid to suggest scars, whereas a real "scar" in stone would be cracks. I wonder if that might not work better, and make the point with more subtlety.

For added emphasis, there's always scorch marks from fire.

@ almondblight : pretty good, assuming I get someone to help with the conversion, since I don't own a Mac. Torque is supposed to be pretty easy to port and I wouldn't ignore potential customers ;)

@ wang : thanks man :)

@ Sheek : Good spotting, yes, I meant "cow". Going through the text and fixing grammar/spelling will be one of the steps down the line, don't worry.

I like the screens, except for the main UI one (this one: http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l300/ ... 0002-1.jpg ).

I don't know why, it seems a bit out of place. Maybe because of the size and colour/texture? (especially the health/mana bar). It could also be due to the fact it's not exactly at the bottom of the screen, which sort of gets in the way.

The rest I like.

I know this is an oldish thread but I'm doing some SoW reading-through-threads on New Year's day. Yeah.
