[QUOTE="MACLARREN, post: 5509781, member: 12288"] That players roll all the dice idea is good but I still am a fan of the active defense. To me, it's all about rolling the d20 and rolling against the DM makes it that much more enjoyable. Trailblazer has a nice solution to the iteritive attack problem with no one getting more then 2 attacks per round. To be honest, our action point system which stems from Trailblazer as well adds to it. With AP's you get a bonus d20 to roll for anything a d20 could be rolled. Again, not for everyone but it works for us and we finally have a game that fits our mold. We have eight guys and 1 DM for these sessions and with this new rule set, turns have never been faster as with the last session. No tracking rounds for spell durations etc and a simple roll of the die doesn't bog the round down. It's all the accounting that does that and our rules have put an end in a good way to all of that mess as much as it can. Thanks for the replies. [/QUOTE]
