Still assuming... 1. D20 Roll. (Timing to reach impact velocity on a targeted area of opponent.) 2. Basic Attack Bonus (Learned/natural skill and Judgement to reach impact velocity faster using less energy to hit your targeted area on opponent) 3. Strength Modifier (Additional physical power to...

It's not a bad idea at all. How about something like this? STR + CON/2 affects HP Bonus, Paralysis, & Constriction Saving Throws. STR + CHA/2 affects Melee Attack & Melee Damage Bonus. CON + CHA/2 affects System Shock, Disease, Energy Drain, & Poison Saving Throws DEX + INT/2 affects Breath...

Hmm, it's something to consider carefully. Making a realistic system seems to cause massive slowing or massive choice paralysis. Using other attributes has to be balanced for plausibility in such a way as it can be understood by all and rationalized to avoid those who'd naysay it.

The burning-gore, or Gornok's burning-gore? Naming Orc bands is really harder than expected....

Always fun to adjust the game to your weird preferences! Getting people to try your crazy ideas isn't very easy though! Like the time I thought the Core abilities weren't Japy enough... Shin- Heart/Spirit. Sei- Accuracy/Precision Kan- Senses/Perception Chi- Intelligence/Knowledge/Wisdom Bin-...

I think character should die at 0, and negative hit points shouldn't exist. When your skill is overcome you should be described as taking a wound so severe even magic can't save you in time. However, that's an easy house rule.

I think the only thing important is the moment. Timing in your mind and timing on your weapon is key to all. The one that reaches velocity in the fastest time and puts all the strength in the right place tends to win because their weapon comes out on top. Kinda a bad idea to think overmuch as he...

You might as well have asked ACKs to view the sunrise...

I think healing during combat should be a difficult and risky proposition A core assumption of a 2 second combat round, magical healing that takes 10-20 round casting time (and subject to spell disruption), potions that restore 1d4 a round or so until their limit is reached, and absolutely...

I owe you an apology. I shouldn't have taken stuff so personally, and gotten rude. I do get your point. It's more silly to not to fight when somebody wants to break the suspension of disbelief. Be it abstract or not. Instead of getting disgusted and telling a player to roll forever, I should...

They would argue that it's deep reserves the character has inside, and their character knows when to give that extra bit of effort. (Since hp is an abstraction of more than just actual wounds.) I say it completely breaks the game from a realism point of view, but they argue the game is already...

I agree with you, and I think I need to make my posts more clear from now on to my positions.

Your ignorance shows, and despite your accusations, I gave easily confirmable truths about one famous Ryuuha from Kagoshima. One of the core tenants is that a second strike is not even to be considered.

I had said that some of us like more verisimilitude than others. You missed that part. However, that doesn't change the fact it's silly to argue history to somebody that has no care for it in their games. Especially in this case where the issue was which hp abstraction fit better.

They belong as optional cool bits for those that love such things. I don't like them though. I wouldn't even play with the "advantage" mechanic.

I know I'm just going to end up changing all the racial stuff anyways, so I kinda just hope they do it in whichever way pleases the most people. That's half the fun of a new edition anyway. I voted for moderate though, because extremes seem to please fewer people.

Curiosity and hope that this D&DN will be the greatest all, and also true to it's name and history. Yep, giddy is the word. \^o^/

My positions were made very clear in my previous posts on this thread. However, the post you jumped on was merely my agreement that arguing over historical negation of second winds was silly because D&Ds combat system is already far removed from history. I do not like the second wind healing...

Since you were being absurd, I thought it better to give you some dice to roll. Seriously, you need to let people play the game the way they want to play it, and not worry about your precious D&D as you envision it. The designers know what they are doing, and if you don't like it, Change it.

I gave my opinion. You told me what you did, and I told you what you get. Is this a game you want to continue playing?
