[QUOTE="dpmcalister, post: 904362, member: 4302"] I've only played two sessions so far and, although I love the setting (my first ever game I ran was the original Judge Dredd RPG back in the early '80s) I'm not too keen on this d20 version. Why? Well, mainly because the rules aren't laid out very well in the book. During last week's session, we were up against quite a few perps who had no intention of surrendering so, given the situation one of the Judges decided to go with Hi-Ex rounds. We hadn't used these rounds before, so a quick look in the rules was called for. This quick look lasted 15 minutes as we tried to find out what would happen if he missed his to hit roll (we couldn't see any rules to cover that). Additionally, a Hi-Ex shot has an area of 10 ft. but what is the definition of "area"? If it's the mathematical definition, then the blast doesn't even cover a 5 ft. square! So is it a 10 ft. radius or diameter? Later we decided to use richocet (sp?) rounds... yep, couldn't find any rules for how they bounced off walls or objects. Sure, I'm enjoying the game, but the rules need to be looked at and laid out better (because I'm sure that the rules we were looking for are there, we just couldn't find them!) [/QUOTE]
