[QUOTE="TanisFrey, post: 5463587, member: 26948"] I have forced my DM to back up the count when he skips ahead to much. At some point in the fights we have played, every one is finished maneuvering and is just waiting for the count to reach their next attack. At this point the DM decides to jump up skipping some counts, some times too fast because I wanted to do something at some point. He has learned to at this point in an encounter that has become a slug fest to ask when everyone wants to jump the count to, so we don't force him to back up because he skipped over a count someone cared about. Another good point about the system. No single weapon dominates as the weapon best weapon. Every weapon has a balance of damage vs weapon speed vs reach vs cost vs type vs amount of BP needed to be proficient. There are clear looser weapons like the staff, does 2d4p with a weapon speed of 13, but on one clear weapon that will be the dominate weapon of the game. In 3.5 the Long sword and shield or 2-handed sword dominate game play, this will not be true in Hackmaster Basic. [/QUOTE]
