[QUOTE="ashockney, post: 1640508, member: 1363"] You're right, no calculus for me. Bleh! In college, that is, because I tested out in high school. I'd had enough of that crap! Please show me a formula that calculates the probability of doing 140 hit points of damage a round to a Fire Giant with a 21 AC, when you're playing the following character: You're absolutely correct, the number of variables, and the number of modifiers, and the types of modifiers also play HEAVILY into the complexity. THANK YOU to everyone who's given me advice on how to improve my home campaign. My home campaign is fine, however, and I've run two campaigns to 20th, and another to 32nd. Not the issue. The amount of time and complexity to do that IS the issue. I'm challenging you to get out of the box and THINK! Can't we have as good a game, without it being too complex? The title of the thread is a direct quote from two different people at my table at Origins, that's why I chose it as the title, instead of something like "simplifying high level DnD to improve 4th Edition" as the title.
