[QUOTE="Peterson, post: 3130470, member: 21431"] Just an inane reply on my way out here.... Actually, yes it does. A small change to a minor part of the game IS making it more complex, in the context that most people using your system (assuming your system is d20-based as it seems to be with the information provided here) will have to learn the d20 rules (or already have learned them) and must now either re-learn or forget what they have learned before in order for your system to make sense to them. Additionally, the word "complex", in regards to individual's learning curves and ESPECIALLY in regards to a person's learning curve of MECHANICS, is subjective. What might be "simple" to you could be downright mind-bogglingly "complex" to Roudi. That doesn't make either of you wrong, but at the same time - it doesn't make either of you right. On final thought here - your English skills DO have an impact on how people view - and comprehend - your system. If you don't possess the ability to accurately explain your mechanics in the language that the majority of your readers uses, then you need to do one of two things: One - hire an editor that can do that for you and pay him well, or Two - learn how to use proper English. No offense intended, but take away what you will of this. I'm just doing my best to provide feedback. Peterson [/QUOTE]
