[QUOTE="Kerrick, post: 4857124, member: 4722"] You do know that 6-10 and 7-15 overlap, right? And, this is assuming that 20th level is the highest any mortal can achieve, the absolute pinnacle of perfection. If it's not (as it isn't in a lot of campaigns) that scale goes out the window. I want to design a level layout something like this: 1-8: Realistic (Us) 9-15: Heroic (Hercules in his early days) 16-25: Wuxia (The Matrix) 26+: Godly (Elminster, Mordy, the Simbul) :P I was just tossing the idea out before I forgot about it. I was looking over my Decipher Script rules yesterday and thinking about changes, and it gave me a headache - definite burnout. :( I will keep your skill rule in mind, though, when I have the wherewithal to get back into design. This is getting a bit OT, but since I started it, I guess I'll just grin and bear it. A comment someone else made not long ago about being able to swing a sword umpteen times in 6 seconds made me think that rounds are WAY too short. I know why they did it - so you can cram 10 rounds into a minute - but it's utterly absurd. I want to measure exactly how quickly I (an unencumbered human of average size) can move 30 feet, and use that as the base. It'll probably be around 10 seconds. Ash beat me to the punch on the longbow stats - I checked it out myself a couple months ago, though I missed the world record shot. 4000 feet... damn. :cool: And this is why no one in D&D can run a marathon. Isn't it great? :D Again, that's a fault of the rules. In some cases, rules should model reality to [I]some[/I] degree. [/QUOTE]
