I do believe Imperial system is old fashionned and archaic, but it definitly has a medieval flavour.For me, the metric system is something modern, rationnal and assiociated with scientists.On the other hand, the Imperial system is old, intuitive (we are talking about feets and inches) and is associated with wizards and warlocks.In modern writings we do use metric system, but when telling faerie tales, we talk about Ogres that are 10 feet high, not 2,5m !For me D&D has more to do with faerie tales than modern writings.Hossrex : The metric system is associated with the French because it was invented by French scientists.</blockquote>
