I have played Eternity as a few different types of characters. One of my favorite aspects of Eternity is how it falls inbetween a strictly class system like DND and a lack of class system like Cypher or World of Darkness. This allows for a more customizable character without the fear of complete failure of self balancing. I have really appreciated the flexibiliy I have been able to achieve with this. The dice rolling is beautifully simple without confining your character to being good at only one or two things. There is plenty of lore to keep you intrigued and give ideas but it is not so involved that knowing almost none (as I did when I first started playing) is not a detriment to playing at all. It may look a little daunting at first but after a short while everything makes good sense and fits together well. I highly encourage you to try this out!
