It's sort of counter-intuitive, but I like the pressure that the attack hits by default. However, I can't see that going down well with players attacking a baddie - nothing quite like making an attack roll against the big bad when you're low on HP and so is he. <br /><br />I like the suggested modification of "the players always roll." This makes it a little more work to make the system, but less work to run as the GM.Swordgleamhttp://chaoticshiny.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615826467198003068.post-6848485964461946422011-08-25T22:26:29.346+01:002011-08-25T22:26:29.346+01:00I do like the idea of "player always rolls&qu...I do like the idea of "player always rolls".

I think?). It had a HUGE effect on me.<br /><br />I think preaching to the choir might be what slowed things down but thinking outside the box you have motivated me to design something on the side to see how it goes.<br /><br />There are BIG changes going on right now and the club house might seem crowded to some but I love the company. :)<br /><br />For a sneak peek:<br /><br />http://classicrealmsofadventure.blogspot.com/<br /><br />And thank you for the posts. They have jump started me out of a bad burnout session.<br /><br />More to come...xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17814063435676111475noreply@blogger.com
