The design ethos behind it was a little bit more involved than arbitrarily switching who rolls the die. As DeusExMachina points out, it is designed so that you almost always only have to roll when it's your turn and not on other people's turns. In terms of the Core Mechanic, it is the cleaning up of who's attacking, looking for clarity in what provides the DC and what deserves the modifier. Hmmm... maybe you're right though. Maybe it's not that significant, replacing an old sacred cow with a younger one. Whatever the case, it is something I thought significant enough to warrant a thread. YMMV.Hmmm... I disagree again. Personally, I don't like the idea of a 10th level wizard having a better fortitude than a 1st level fighter. I prefer the idea that some classes are allowed to be poor at something, rather than having the half-level mechanic mean the worst you can be is average. Again, that's just a personal thing of what I prefer. YMOV.I think there was some discussion in The Dragon a long time ago putting forward how Gandalf was at best a 5th level wizard. In the end I think Gandalf has never equated very well to D&D for whatever reason. However, following your premise, I can't see why you can't have a badass wizard with particular options taken. To be halfway to badass as a baseline though, I don't think I like.Best RegardsHerremann the Wise</blockquote>
