[QUOTE="Jack7, post: 4855330, member: 54707"] [COLOR="Red"][B][I][SIZE="4"][FONT="Georgia"]Fight like you mean it, not like it's an accident...[/FONT][/SIZE][/I][/B][/COLOR] [COLOR="Lime"][B]Disclaimer:[/B][/COLOR] I don't want this to turn into a thread or series of postings dealing with any particular edition of D&D.

Or alternately about combat resolution methods that only partially rely upon dice rolls, or some similar method, to achieve the same effect. So if you've seen a (combat) system that doesn't use dice, or cards, or whatever the case may be, or you have developed one of your own, then present it for us to look over and analyze and then let everyone discuss it. I/we have a system (which is not static, [I]I'd be happy to improve it if I see something worth pursuing[/I]) that we've used for years but before presenting that to everyone else (my system) I'd like to see some other ideas. I will say this, in my system fighting monsters is different than fighting men. I'll get back to this as my work schedule allows but I'm looking forward to reading your ideas, and debates, and arguments on the matter. To get some ideas started, these are the main problems I considered in developing my system: [I]Weaponry Reach Close Quarters Combat versus Stand-Off or At a Distance Engagement Mounted Combat Damage Modifications Formation Fighting Maneuver and Movement Forcing Misses Technique and Tactical Fighting Skill and Experience Fighting Monsters versus Fighting Men Armor and how it actually Operates First Strikes Rapidity of Combat Initiative and Ambush [/I] Good luck ladies and gentlemen.
