[QUOTE="Vigilance, post: 3020087, member: 4275"] Sigh. Ok... I didnt realize we were talking about mythical systems no one but you and your home group had ever played. Let's assume D20 STAR WARS is going to use a D20 RULE SYSTEM, not a narrativist system where the players and GM share responsibilities to narrate out a scene. Ok, now assuming it's going to use a d20 type system, do you think it should be cinematic or gritty? I happen to think it should be very cinematic, because it emulates movies where characters attack tanks with hand weapons, and win! (Luke and the AT-At in ESB) And lest you think that was a fluke or some weird force thing (even though he used a sword and grenade), Chewie swings onto a tank by a VINE, pops it open like a can of tab and takes it over in the next movie. John Wayne in "The Green Berets" has nothing on these guys. Chuck PS And keep in mind, just because you use a D&D style HP system, that doesn't mean there's no incentive for the characters to hide. Since there's limited access to healing, the occasional hit by the armies of mooks they encounter will weaken them for the final encounter with the Sith Lord or whatever BBEG waits at the end of the adventure.
