I've had a revision of the Grim-n-Gritty Hit Point and Combat Rules brewing in my skull for a couple of years and thought I'd put them to paper. Those of you familiar with the old rules will find these a major departure, though the spirit and intent are the same. Hopefully, you will find a couple of the old problems with the system have been solved. For example, you can overcome a creature's heavy armor with a good attack roll. There's a dice cap that makes it easier to incorporate the existing fire-n-forget magic system. You'll find converting existing creatures to the revised GnG is a HECK of a lot easier than the original GnG.Should you decide to use this system in your games, you will find that it screws up the CR's of nearly every creature. Also, I think you'll find it's a little easier to kill or be killed in this revision of the system.If you use this in play and have any anecdotes to share, I'd be interested in reading them.Caveats: It's not a realistic system, just a less cinematic one. It's not perfect. It's not universal. It's not for everyone. And, no, I do not think the entire d20 combat system should be replaced with it.Enjoy,Ken Hood----ADDED 04/07/2004ENWorld is now hosting the rules at <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forums/local_links.php?action=links&catid=19" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/forums/local_links.php?action=links&catid=19</a>Thanks, ENWorld!The latest version of the rules is dated 4-7-2004. Changes:*Corrected a couple of typos.*Clarified explanation of figuring base defense bonus.*Moved the dice cap and sneak attack rules to a variants section. *Added a variant rule for Dexterity as the universal attack roll modifier, rather than Strength for melee and Dexterity for ranged. (Also added a feat, Brute Force, to go along with this variant.)Again, thanks for the suggestions and requests for clarification. I look forward to hearing some playtesting discussion.</blockquote>
