[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 3520718, member: 1"] It disppeared for quite a while after ENGS closed, but EN Publishing has managed to recover a copy of [B][URL=http://enworld.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=21793]Carnage For Beginners: How To Fight With Flair![/URL][/B], a short PDF devoted to making combats a bit more interesting and varied. [bq]This short book introduces three simple, elegant options to your d20 combat scenes, all designed to make your battles more interesting and varied without adding complexity. [B][I]Critical Hits & Fumbles [/I] [/B] are designed to add colour without turning your combats into a gory mess of severed limbs and spouting veins. A very simple system, these effects will increase the flavour of your critical hits, but not the lethality. You may stumble, but you won't slice your own head off; you may momentarily blind your opponent, but you won't sever his sword-arm!

Use barrels, ropes, sails, tapestries and so much more to liven things up! All three of these "mini-systems" are simple to add to your combats and straightforward to apply, enabling you to spice things up without having to thumb through pages of tables.
