Very good point - we'll see how it goes. I'll start off running it as written, and then see if tweaking is required...thanks :cool:

Rock on drunk man!! :D

Yeah, I had a look at the probabilities of 3d20 as well and they match close enough with 2d10. The problem comes when you have advantage/disadvantage. If you use, as you say, 3d20 and take the *highest* (for advantage) then that's much better than the RaW 2d20 and take the highest. I toyed...

This is intriguing...can you please explain what you mean by a "hideous" bell curve? Curious! :) I wouldn't call it a "winner" and I'm not necessarily advocating it for others, but I know it will work with my group - they won't bat an eyelid if I swap out d20 for 2d10. Only one person in my...

Great summary!

As soon as I am able I'll be starting a campaign with it - there's definitely enough of a core system here to get underway with (my games always involve a lot of rules improvisation anyway, and my players enjoy...

Me too, sounds really interesting. And I thought I was paying in US dollars (I'm in Australia) but haha, it was English Pounds! Oh well...just waiting for the PDF to become available...chop chop! :)

Sorry if this is a silly question (or if not ok by the T&C), but I really don't understand when I read the orc's furious charge. It "grants advantage" in this case, but to whom? The orc or the person he attacked? Thanks.

The voice of reason.

Oh dude, that brought a tear to my eye :D
