So your powers of comprehension are indeed intact. I am not singular in my enjoyment either, I play with dozens who feel very similar. So thats why I implied I was part of a group of "those people", because we are a group.Plus Philotomy is right. you have to like surprise being a d20 check instead of a d10 check and that a Ranger may not be practically impossible to surprise to prefer C&C over 1E. I always hated how hard it was for a Ranger to get surprised, to the point where if the group had a Ranger in it I didn't even bother rolling anymore. So yeah, I am happy that C&C made surprise a bit fairer than 1E and that even Rangers can be surprised on a somewhat regular basis.Is the d10 a better surprise mechanic? I don't think so. I prefer a system where your level of skill comes into play, as well as how "wise" you may be to detect ambushes/surprise. So Philotomy obviously prefers the d10 stuff of 1E, I don't.Philotomy also likes subsystems, percentile for this, d10 for that, d6 for this, I don't. I like one universal system. Easier for me, easier for my players.C&C is all about preferences, so you can house rule it to fit those preferences, or you can go onto another system. C&C fits my preferences best, and allows me to use any of my modules easier than any other edition of D&D, so obviously I am happiest with C&C. Is it for everyone? Nope. Neither is any other edition of D&D. So thats why we all search for the best fit. C&C is mine.</blockquote>
