[QUOTE="Korgoth, post: 3722020, member: 49613"] Everybody seems into non-random stats, hp and even substituting 2d10 for the D20 these days. So here's my innovation: [b]Diceless D&D[/b], a.k.a. the T10 System (Take 10 System). No sacred cows allowed! Originally, I was going to say that instead of rolling for the base mechanic you just always take 10. But then I realized you can just reduce the DC of everything by 10 and have much more manageable numbers. Anything of DC 0 or less is automatic. Otherwise, compare your applicable Ranks and Modifiers to the DC. If you equal or exceed the DC, you succeed. Otherwise, you fail. Combined with my proposed DD&DI (Diceless D&D Insider) you don't even have to bother adventuring. If you use DD&DI pre-loaded adventures, the DM can just click to select which characters are going to go on the adventure (these characters are accessed from friends' accounts). Once the module and characters are selected, the DM just clicks the "Adventure" button and the computer determines the outcome. There's more! You can pre-enter your character build in the software so that it knows what feat choices you'll be making when you level up. This feature allows a group to play an entire Adventure Path series in only a few minutes. For example: DM: *clickityclickity* "OK, guys, I've got your characters all selected. Tonight we begin an excellent Adventure Trail series. You will be starting out in a small town and heading to a dungeon called The Sunless Fortress." Rick: "Cool." Mike: "Let's do it." DM: *clicks on Adventure button* DM: "OK, well after many adventures you confront the evil dragon Ashartalon, bent on returning from the netherworld to destroy the World of Greyfalcon, and you defeat him in a climactic battle. Congratulations, guys. You're all level 30 now!" Larry: "Took long enough." DM: "Yeah, well, anyway, your accounts have been updated with your characters. That was fun, guys. See you next week? I've got another cool Trail." Dave: "Listen, man, that was fun and everything but I'm having a really hard time fitting in gaming time these days. It takes me 15 minutes to get to your house, and 15 to get home. Plus 5 minutes of gaming... that's like 35 minutes. That's a lot, man." Rick: "Same here, buddy. My boss has been on my back about putting in a second overtime shift. I could use the dough." Mike: "Man, let's just resolve the next Trail online, OK?" DM: "OK. No problem. Just make sure to enter in your new characters." Larry: "Actually, I'm using my same build as this time." Rick: "Me too. Saves time." Dave: "Same here." Mike: "Yep." DM: "OK. Well, then I guess I'll just email you guys the results. Don't, you know, be strangers." ;) [/QUOTE]
