[QUOTE="Fieari, post: 2492172, member: 16221"] Can I highly reccomend Ken Hood's "Grim-n-Gritty Revised" system? I let my group try it for a session, and they now won't play anything else. They [i]love[/i] how it gets rid of some of the abstraction of combat, and actually remains reasonably cohesive with the system as a whole. I mean, it's advertised as something that will make your game incredibly deadly and all, but really my experience has shown it to be incredibly balanced in almost all ways. The only thing it doesn't really translate well from the normal system is the difference between a d4 HD and a d12 HD, but it tends to work out anyway with all the other peripherals. Basically, it makes it so that damage is DAMAGE, and dodging is DODGING. So HP isn't an abstraction of dodging and luck and rolling with the blows anymore. If you want some more simulation, you should REALLY give it a shot. [/QUOTE]
