[QUOTE="Kemrain, post: 1466458, member: 12153"] Though I've downloaded and intend to read your new rules, having read the thread and seen what people hav to say about it, I don't think it's for me. That said, I'm currently playing in a game running with your 3.3 rules, and I just wanted to say "Thank you!" When I read your 3.3 rules, I was thrilled to find that someone had done my work for me. I'd been looking for a more Grim and Gritty way of handling combat in the d20 system. It was perfect for a Dune game I played in (where we made the mistake of applying wound pelanties to Defense, too. Made combat VERY tense.), and its working very well in my current game. I've made your 3.3 system a standard addition to my players handbook. My current GM made the switch when he discovered that his players would wade into combat without fear, having run the math and figured out that their opponent couldn't do enough damage to drop them in the first 5 rounds. Combat wasn't something to be feared, it was a mathematical exercise. Since we've switched, Combat has become more deadly and less predictable in some important ways: a single hit might spell death, even if we're hit much less often (multiclassing can net VERY high Defense). Combat is still predictable in that we can figure out about how many HP an opponent has however, and those numbers vary much less. The change [b]has[/b] been dramatic, and everyone at the table enjoys the new rules. I noted that you recieved a lot of negitive feedback for your troubles, and that you've found that the people who dig your work tend to be a quiet minority. I wanted you to know there's another group out there who quietly digs your work, and is very grateful that you went through the trouble to make this system, and put it out for free. - Kemrain the Appreciative.
