[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 3747118, member: 12460"] I took a lot of tips from Star Wars Saga Edition and decided to incorporate the ideas into my D&D campaign. If you have SWSE, you can see where a lot of these come from. So far it has worked out pretty well. Part of the reason I did it is because I have only one player right now (playing two characters) and I wanted to make it a little easier. It seems like these changes will speed up play immensely.
