But then someone brings up that ranged attacks use up one ammunitia per attack. ;)

Yep. One minute rounds needid' killin' in a bad way. Glory be to 3e!

That was the biggest problem for our group too. We could buy the whole "multiple swings" bit with one or two real opportunities, but that never addressed bow fire or dagger throwing, etc...

I used Players Option books in 2e, they introduced 10 second rounds.

Good, my first post was correct. though my guess it was only Combat and Tactics that had those rounds.

yes. and we like it that way.

You shock me, diaglo!

The 1 minute melee round was a sad artefact introduced in AD&D, it didn't exist in OD&D. We shunned it as evil from the word go, I'm truly surprised that you embraced such weirdness!

Cheers
