[QUOTE="GlassJaw, post: 2360550, member: 22103"] You say that like it's a bad thing. The "damage to WP's in the surprise round", coupled with the VP/WP system, is one of my [I]favorite[/I] rules for establishing a gritty feel. The fact the system itself puts a higher emphasis on tactics and stealth lends itself to a substantially different style of play. Just with this rule, you now have to decide as a player if wearing heavy armor is worth the penality to your hide and move silently skills as well as your speed. I like the fact that a single rule can indirectly affect many other aspects of gameplay. Hmm, now I'm a little confused. The example you cited is exactly what I [I]wouldn't[/I] use the VP/WP system in a traditional fantasy setting. I want [I]less[/I] emphasis put on armor in a low-magic, gritty setting, not more. Perhaps we both like the VP/WP system, but for significantly different reasons. [/QUOTE]
