[QUOTE="Tovec, post: 5453800, member: 95493"] To Omegaxicor, You'll notice I got your name right, What I was trying to state about abilities being several different things in one was said nicely by Mon just the post before mine. I was giving wilder reasons of why the system was built a certain way. If you want to use Agility and Dexterity, or Speed, or any other variant or system you have thought up or found, by all means feel free. It will not hurt me in anyway, I only wanted to point out that I have seen many attempts to "fix" the system by splitting DEX in two and I have seen that it is a slippery slope trying to decide what should and what should not be an ability. I have also found on other threads those that try create much more work than expected in trying to understand or fix the combination which makes up DEX. To Mon, yes thank you for clarifying my point in the post previous to this. As far as your reply to my previous post - I was merely trying to state that ALL of his rules do not apply to the specific question which was asked. Similarly it doesn't make sense to suggest someone adopt ALL houserules found in the Unearthed Arcana when a specific excerpt is what they are looking for. To nonsi256, the reason I said what I sad was not to provoke you or antagonize you. I just think that suggesting a rather large set of rules for a minor question seems (in my mind) to be pushing your rules to someone who may not want them. (I have looked at them, briefly, and I didn't.) If Omegaxicor found much of your system (or all of it) useful that's great but it wasn't the point. Also as far as your concerns to what I said I'd be happy to talk to you in private messages, this isn't the place to continue with this. [/QUOTE]
