2. maybe the system's measurement of time is in some way different. Instead of 6 second rounds, maybe they are 1 second rounds, like gurps, or something... If that were the case, maybe you can only move OR attack-- not both-- unless you are charging. Since they are getting rid of full attack actions, having this as a choice would streamline things without being so horrendus...
Thoughts?
epochrpg said:Okay, I noticed something intriguing in the stat cards for the spine devil. Here you can see a side-by-side comparison of the 4e and 3.x stats: http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb5/bmouse70/IMG_1532.jpg
Now, notice the 4e has a move of 5 and fly of 7. The 3.x version has a move of 20 and a fly of 100. Assuming we're talking about squares, the 3.x version should be 4 and 20 flying. So what's with the land speed being 25% faster, and the flight speed being only one-third?
I have a couple ideas:
1. maybe they have abandoned the 5' square in favor of 10' or something on those lines
2. maybe the system's measurement of time is in some way different. Instead of 6 second rounds, maybe they are 1 second rounds, like gurps, or something...

It used to bug me, then I realized that 1E used inches (apparently, you were assumed to bring your tape measure) and 1" = 10'. That is, of course, unless 1" = 1", which was the case for a few spells.
