    Why is armor less emphasized?

    My current charcater is a favoured soul with 10 Dex she loves all types of armour and shields ...it is difficult to make armour exciting. All its bonuses are really static/passive so involve no dice roll. Which i like. I hate rpg's where both offence and defence require a dice roll. I see no...

    Realistic Combat

    good discussions most people die of the wound sometime later from blood loss, or much later from disease. All not really very heroic. I guess D&D doesnt model, you survived five hits from the troll....its just in an hour you'll be down and dead some hours/days later. went to a survival lecture...
