Also, you might want to go through a standard combat before you actually play. This should let them know how important it is to stay out of combat unless absolutely necessary. ![Smiley :)](https://ironcrown.co.uk/ICEforums/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
Actually we did this, it seemed the best way to show the system, and they *loved* the crit system. The last day of our previous campaign I brought characters and ran a combat. I wanted them to see what combat was as well as see the clear differences to the magic system. Coming from epic 3.5 D&D they are all kinda tired of TimeStop/IWin/Etc levels of magic.
