Alternatively, I could house-rule the rules such that PCs simply don't die when they run out of hitpoints, and let them have a certain number of second chances. Furthermore, I could play up heroic flavor easily through descriptions, altering monsters, and other campaign level decisions. D&D is by its nature very flexible, and house-ruling is a well established part of its tradition. Since older editions didn't have as hard and fast rules for task resolution, it would be pretty easy to make rulings such that a 1st level PC can jump 30 feet into the air with a proper strength check.It's not like many people played 1E with the rules as written anyways, from what I hear.Then why are you jumping on everyone who says that they want heroic styled D&D, but would be content to have it as an optional module? When I said that above, you started attacking me with claims that I was using flawed logic. If you agree that it is okay as an optional module, then you are just using picking fights with posters such as myself for no legitimate reason.</blockquote>
