[QUOTE="thundershot, post: 2423490, member: 628"] Well.... that's partially true. My group is very good about roleplaying. We end up with entire sessions where no dice are rolled. However, stats DO matter, especially the non-physical ones. If everyone is reduced to an acorn, and a character has an Int of... 5, logically, he's not gonna figure anything out, and become practically useless. Let's say he's a fighter. Now he has no weapons or ANYthing to contribute. The wizard probably has a high Int, but can't cast spells now, but is more likely to come up with a solution. I guess I'd rather the characters be able to figure things out rather than the players. Sometimes an Int check can be your friend. Also, do the acorns have any physical ability score penalties? Extra skill mods? AC bonus due to the tough hide? I totally understand what Gary is doing, but the problem is that it doesn't mesh well with d20. And we only play D&D/d20 (no time to learn anything else). However, that doesn't mean I won't adapt it for my own purposes. I just hope Gary isn't offended by my opinion. I just felt that if I spent the money on the product, I could at least have some opinions on it. :D Chris [/QUOTE]
