[QUOTE="Blackwarder, post: 6204232, member: 6688285"] Even though I recently received my Bones kickstarter miniatures we haven't used any minis. I only used advantage/disadvantage once in this session, my group love it but I'm using it sparingly, I think it's a great mechanic, what's your problem with it. If I made any rules hack it was only because of lack of familiarity with the current RAW and you know what? It didn't bother me in the least, I had the basic stuff down and never looked up rules as we played, which is a good thing in my book, I just ruled what I though was appropriate and if my player had something that said other wise I rolled with it, for example one of my players play a lightfoot halfing barbarian, while the party was in the Wide I told him that he can't see anything expect for the legs and crutches of the folks around him due to how packed the Wide was at that time, later on when he rushed through the crowd trying to reach an assasin I asked him to make a strength or charisma check to move through, then he reminded me that halfings got Halfling Nimbleness so we waved this off. My point is that unlike 4e and 3.Xe, which to me were very rigid, next feels very fluid, dynamic and easier to DM, if only for the fact that I don't need to fear that I'll do some terrible game breaking mistake if I deviate from RAW by mistake.
