[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 5845858, member: 92305"] Well, like I said at first, I meant no offense. I just told you how you were coming across. There are a lot of DMs who very comfortable wtih 1E. You don't seem to be one of them. At least, that's what it seems like when you say, "[COLOR=teal]It's the extreme silence of the rules on reutine actions in play, forcing you into either thinking through things to come to fiat ruling or ad hocing some sort of fortune mechanic or alteration/modifier to the rules proposed system."[/COLOR] I'm completely at home with fiat ruling and ad hocing mechanics, and I'm mucho OK with doing it [I]this way[/I] one time and [I]that way[/I] another. Player - "I want to climb that tree!" DM - "Cool. Throw 3d6 for DEX or less." Player - "But...last time you had me throw a d20 for STR or less." DM - "This is a different tree." 2nd Player - "What about me?" DM - "You're a Thief. Use your Climb Walls percentage minus 20%." Boom. Done. Let's move on. You're right. I don't know you or your situation well. I don't appreciate people making blanket judgements about me based on a few lines a write, either. So, I'll just leave it there and bow out. Heck, maybe you just don't like 1E. That's fine. I'm not fond of point-buy, and some people are. Different strokes. [/QUOTE]
