[QUOTE="Giltonio_Santos, post: 6738904, member: 36874"] The so called "bluntness" of the mechanic is probably the best thing about it. Instead of taking their time to collect small bonuses that can be added together for a big effect on the die roll, players vie for advantage or look for ways to get out of disadvantage, and they stop at that. I can think of lots of ways in which being able to stack bonuses would add granularity and subtlety, but I can't think of a situation where it would actually improve the game for us. The AD/DS mechanic allows me to move brain power to my favored aspects of the game. I've been playing with it for almost two years now (including the playtest), and I can't see myself going back to a +N/-N model anytime soon. Even if I go back to DM 2E (the kind of possibility I never disregard :)), I'll probably bring advantage back with me. [/QUOTE]
