[QUOTE="DeBracy, post: 2780683, member: 16797"] Bah! Rolling under is the natural state of RPG mechanics. So say all of us brought up on BRP at least... ;) But yeah... It's not in line with any mechanic from 3.5. I defenitly see a point in not making it a fort. save though... saves climb at a much much higher rate than your Con after all. Anyways, I haven't ran a lot of d20 games (2 games in Modern, wow) and a single AD&D2E game which left me utterly confused about my ability to do basic math (THAC0 is a unmerciful enemy!) so I haven't hade much reason to plunder anything. I do however like a lot of things about 2E, first and foremost the general feel of the text I think. Were I to start a long running fantasy campaign in a homebrew world it'd be highly likely that I'd meld a lot of 2E, some 3.5 and a touch of Pendragon into a system to be used. From 2E comes some ideas about the skill system, from 3.5 the 3 saves and from Pendragon the die roll - d20 UNDER skill but as high as possible. Great thing for opposed rolls. And no, it wouldn't be a d20 system anymore... :) I'll probably stick with playing Conan, d20M and some other stuff before I get around to seriously thinking about doing all that work though... ;) [/QUOTE]
