Let me encourage you to not change things until you've come to the place where you understand why they're the way they are. DragonRaid is different from other roleplaying systems; this is one of the places where that shows up. Combat, unlike most RPG's, is not an end to itself, but a definitely secondary factor. >One other thing, in starting out a game with players who aren't necessarily >believers or Twiceborn, how do you encourage them with the Wordrunes?

DragonRaid works best when used to train up Christians, not bring people to Christ. It can, and has, been used to witness, to challenge and to enlighten unto salvation, but that's not what it does best. I would strongly recommend getting together mostly Christians (even if they're Christians in name only -- at least they have some understanding of the basic ideas) and allowing at most a couple of OnceBorn (pretending to be TwiceBorn in this case) be part of the 'Team. Check with your own church -- there's probably a few middle- or high-schoolers who would like to be involved in a 'Raid. Posting something at a local store is also a good idea, although I suggest you follow the example given earlier.
