[QUOTE="Evenglare, post: 5963329, member: 63245"] Well, the system is geared towards defeating enemies fairly quickly, it would kind of suck if in the zelda games you couldnt kill something quickly. That's kind of hard coded. But did the reaction rolls section not explain the whole virtue rolls clearly enough ? What about it exactly did you not get?
