[QUOTE="takyris, post: 3171636, member: 5171"] Danke. I'm not really looking for solutions, because, well, I'm not quitting the game, and I'm not going to do a one-man "I can make the game change" campaign. - The OOC table talk. - Actually getting to play a game, not just GM one. - Varied environments for combat - A fun "kill it, then eat it" system that uses snacks for miniatures Smurf: My mistake in writing. I was actually taken below 0. I was definitely down and dying. Someone else made the good suggestion of learning to work with his house-ruled combat system as best I can. I'm working with that, as I am with runic magic, but in order to keep elements of mystery and surprise in the game (paraphrasing the DM's words), the DM has refused to tell us how things work beyond the introductory levels. We weren't allowed to see the high-level combat maneuvers. So yes, this would be like being able to see Dodge and Power Attack and not getting to read the descriptions for (or even know about) Spring Attack or Great Cleave. I have no idea what the rules are like up there -- just that those rules make bad guys screw us over from time to time. Thanks, everybody. Good to know I'm not just crazy. [/QUOTE]
