[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 3548777, member: 1165"] Some people just like kiling things and taking their stuff. I've played through several WoD games (Vampire, Werewolf and the Ghost one) where we did mostly combat. I've also been in richly detailed WoD games and D20 games. Dice pools take a lot of time. I've just gone through an Exalted campaign; we need a dice rolling computer program. My character was the worst offender - four attacks per round with a magical throwing dagger and he could use an Excellency on all of his strikes! Other players with stronger, slower weapons still had to use up a lot of time. (I'm glad I took Shadow on the Water so I didn't have to apply mods to my defense several times per round.) The math was easier than d20, but rolling so many dice is a timekiller. No you only need the only book to play DnD; one book and the SRD to play a monster in the MM. D20 Modern doesn't do modern monsters well, actually. It's one of the weakest parts of the system, which isn't surprising because it works best without any of the settings in the book! Furthermore DnD/D20 Modern vampires are some of the worst monster translations I've ever seen. Sean K. Reynolds, not to mention a number of posters at the WotC boards (and, I presume, elsewhere) have all come up with [b]much[/b] better ways of doing vampires. There is no D20 World of Darkness setting yet. To play it, you would need to buy a World of Darkness book and then translate the setting, which just costs more for those who are interested in a d20 World of Darkness book. Same here actually, but I don't think people who want to play d20 WoD should be deprived. That's using the crystal ball that no one else has. [/QUOTE]
