As if all you see in the book is acrobatics until you 'click' on it to reveal more options. Much easier to do with software than a book.There could be three or four different systems for combat, of varying degrees of abstraction. Highly detailed for the final battle versus your arch-nemesis. Highly abstract for wandering monsters, mooks and minions.Big Eyes, Small Mouth does this to a minor degree. There are only three stats - Body, Mind and Soul. If you want a character that's less strong than Body would indicate, then you have to specifically call that out. It's rather a clumsy implementation imo but the idea is interesting.</blockquote>
