[QUOTE="greywulf, post: 4213955, member: 4285"] Yes, there's an easy way to do it. You're the GM. You make the call. Unlike D&D, Microlite20 doesn't have rules for things that the GM should be able to decide for themselves. If you want the player to make an attack roll, then that's cool. If you want the victim to make a save instead, that's cool too. It's your game, remember :) Most of the time, it's pretty obvious (Lightning Bolt? Attack roll! Charm Person? Make a save.....), but it's also fun to have the flexibility to flip between the two, even for the same spell. If the players are casting Lightning Bolt, then get them to make an attack roll; it puts the drama into their hands, and that's a Good Thing. On the other hand, if the Evil Orc Shaman is the one firing the Lightning Bolt, why not have the players make a Phys+DEX save to dodge out of the way instead? That puts the drama in the players hands too, so that's [I]also[/I] a Good Thing. That's what's cool about Microlite20; the Rules Can Be Changed to suit the situation. Hope that helps! :D In other news, the [URL=http://greywulf.wordpress.com/microlite20-fundraiser/]Microlite20 Fundraiser![/URL] is only $7 away from reaching the target!!!! Get donating :D [/QUOTE]
