[QUOTE="Darklone, post: 1657831, member: 1372"] Sure, every dragon is described as the epitome of elegance... pure brutes, right. Climb, Jump, check the other str based skills. But I guess that's just because the D&D designers are too stupid IYO to make it right... Strange. You think you need to houserule something pretty basic in D&D but still claim their interpretation is different from yours which leads to that houserule? Sorry to tell you, using that rule without a problem in one group does not mean it will not cause problems in many other groups. D&D has seen many houserules come and go, actually the 3rd edition was a nice summary of many apparently pretty common houserules (at least I found many on the net years before 3.0 came out). Your houserule above is old, but never had that many followers. For a good reason. I used to be a quick lightweighted dex fighter. I was fast, nimble, dodging most hits... still going toe to toe with my fullplate buddies was a bad idea. Why? They are not slow. Their strikes are not slower than mine. The dex fighters you want to see are best described by high strength and high dex in D&D. Wimps with strength 10 and dex 18 are goners on any battlefield with melee combat. [/QUOTE]
