Nice, I do like that idea, particularly the part about it becoming permanent or not.[br][br]For the hit location part, the roll for where you hit would be after you actually make a succesful hit. You then roll for location. I can see where you guys are going, I suppose since I'm the one making it, i...

Fair criticism, I'm going for tickable boxes instead of numbers for recording damage, as that's relatively easy, but yeah, the system wouldn't appeal to everyone the way that it is. [br][br]To explain how I tend to think in regards to combat, I like it not to drag out, as for me, RP is a lot more im...

The flurry I was talking about intended to be one roll, but, more descriptive, most combat isn't hit by hit based, but I can see where I wasn't clear on that :)[br][br]I appreciate the feedback, it's always get to get more viewpoints.[br][br]I was envisioning a round of combat (still working on orde...

I've been fiddling on and off with a homebrewed combat/roleplaying system for a while now, and one thing I really want to do, and have fiddled with the mechanics a lot over, is hit locations. [br][br]Now, I know there are some rpg's out there that do this. I have vague memories of playing in one or ...

Well, going by the rules of this forum, I'm not going to make any personal attacks (unlike our PhoneLobster friend there...).[br][br]Unfortunately, some people tend to ignore indexes and glossaries.[br][br]Indexed:[br]Difficult Terrain - Page 148.[br][br]Now I know that it might go against the grain...

For balance? Word for word the same.

O.k, I hope you do realise the DC1 you're referring to, refers to the footnote, correct? So, check out footnote 2, referenced next to the DC for difficult surfaces.[br][br]Page 67, it's right there in black and white. [br][br]If you want to use the SRD: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/skills/balance.htm[b...

Actually, I'd be more inclined to say that people are trying harder & harder to find tenuous loopholes. They rely so much on the exact printed word, they tend to completely miss the intended meaning.[br][br]But then, I do think that the more you try to explain and expand upon something, the bigg...

This is where we really hit the crux of the matter The examples WotC have given are what makes it confusing, and that where interpretation causes arguments. For instance:[br][br][br] It is a really subtle difference though, especially as balance lists uneven flagstones and difficult terrain lists un...

[br]We have a bit of an argument going on another forum over balance as related to difficult terrain. Yes, it's going to link to the much maligned knight class.[br][br]My take from reading PHB1 has been that when it comes to balance we are talking narrow or difficult surfaces. So, anything you are w...
