[QUOTE="Mournblade94, post: 5810765, member: 74608"] Od&D is not my style either, I really grew up with AD&D but then 3rd edition grew on me and it became my favorite. I am interested when you say you want cinematic combat. Here I beleive is where there can be some disjunction. I think cinematic combat is the job of the DM not the rules. It is all fine to have rules state what the cinematic effect is, and than have it desribed by the players, but if I am not onboard with the cinematic combat, it will be meaningless. So you attack with a fancy power, and describe it well, then I as DM say the goblin stabs you, and you take X damage. AND I do it not to be jerk vs. cinematic combat, but because I might be a DM that does not enjoy cinematic combat and just want to run combat tactically, or efficiently, or quickly. The game is no longer cinematic. This I beleive will be a tough hurdle to cross. [/QUOTE]
