[QUOTE="Parmandur, post: 7036547, member: 6780330"] Oh, man; I have a fairly decent head for numbers, generally speaking, enough that D&D is usually fine for me: but I am when push comes to shove, not that mathematically inclined, and what you just posted, no joke, totally honest, kinda intimidates me. Makes my head swim a bit, though if I had to, in a particular case, could probably work it out: but man, I wouldn't want to DM with that level of overhead, though y'all make a pretty good case for playing the game if you were behind the screen. And here I think another interesting aspect of the "feelz" may play out: D&D as a game requires math, and not always the most basic math; but, skill and comfort with that will vary considerably from person to person. The 4E math is obviously very well thought out: but is it going to work better for the mathematically inclined than the uninclined? My college group was half English majors, half Engineers, but we were all able to keep up with the 3.x math when it came up; and I am able to keep up with the 4E math I am seeing...but while I am enjoying hearing about the game from y'all, the math parts make my eyes glaze over a bit?
