It's taken a bit of getting used to, but then it works fine.It certainly opens up some interesting design spaces, like pricing weapons by their bonus in accuracy, defense ("parry"), damage and speed -- but I'm not sure the added complexity is worth it.D&D has some inherent action limitations, which are a central part of combat balance: you can't take two Minor actions per round, for example. Exalted 2e has different limits, but those limits are no less harsh: the limit on Charm use per DV refresh, for example, or the high cost of Combos (both creation and use). If you decide to make D&D tick-based, you'll have to find a way to ensure the system still accounts for these implicit limitations.Cheers, -- N</blockquote>
