[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 6333419, member: 1"] Thanks! If they're only attacking with 3d6, try suggesting to them that they aim or feint, get high ground, or set up a crossfire or flank (is flanking in O.L.D.?) Also, they should fairly quickly get some high quality weapons. There should be no real reason to be stuck with 3d6. :) A question - did you recalculate the bad guys' DEFENSE too? (I assume from your post that you did). Had that originally. The extra dice rolling slows down combat too much. (As a side-note, quite a few D&D editions had "roll your AC each time" as an optional rule). One thing to bear in mind is that SOAK may be noticeable now, but when they've progressed a bit, and they're rolling much larger dice pools, it won't be nearly at noticeable. Its value decreases (proprtionally) somewhat as your characters gain attributes and training. Plus, of course, there are exploits to avoid SOAK - they're in N.E.W. right now, but the Scientific Exploits will be present as Scholastic Exploits in O.L.D. [/QUOTE]
