[QUOTE="Jd Smith1, post: 8103508, member: 6998052"] I don't see it as unfair. It affects everyone equally and evenly. As to realism, 5e only needs a bit of adjustment. Its core concepts of abstracting the parries, fients, footwork, and so on into the probability that only one or two blows may connect in a period of six seconds is plausible. Limiting the number of hit points and increasing the damage done by weapons does bring the mortality of the game into a reasonable balance while keeping playing speed high. Toss in A&8s ranged attack system (which is d20 based), a better critical system, rules on bleeding, suppression, armor soak, and toss out ranged and AoE healing, and you've got a system that isn't half bad. At this point I'm just looking at the nap=healing rule, which my player seldom use anyway, and a couple smaller tweaks. I'm not saying I wouldn't drop 5e like a bad habit should a better system pop up, but it'll do for now. And even if I find a better system, I'll house-rule it, too. [/QUOTE]
