[QUOTE="Achan hiArusa, post: 4632016, member: 2597"] Got my response eaten. In short, to you a 2 dice pool from levels 1-5 would look constricting as you are used to having up to 4 dice by 4th level and beyond. For someone used to RAW it would be a much greater degree of freedom than what they are used to. They can do it normally by using one die to move and one to attack. But then they can use a die to defend or use two dice to attack or defend. More options than RAW. I would just rule that a spell that requires a standard action uses all but one die from the pool (minimum 1 die) and running requires all the dice from your pool or 4 (whichever is less). Maybe I should get my roomate to run some combats from your system as written if you have some sample characters I could use. He did make me learn Magic (not really my thing). I have a nibble on a gaming group so hopefully I can incorporate some house rules. [/QUOTE]
