I'd actually agree with this in general. I'd also like to figure out a new take on spirit combat. RQ had a wonderful, evocative combat system that was easy to mold to a variety of different tactical approaches. Spirit combat OTOH was long, drawn out, and extremely uninteresting: POW vs. <something> over and over and over until someone breaks. RQIV tried to add something more interesting here, but as I recall it got over complicated. Maybe we should start another thread and figure out a new spirit combat system!
(No, the MRQ way of making it all physical combat is not the answer!)
