But to me, the hit is only satisfying because it doesn't happen all the damn time.In standard D&D, it's somewhere between a 40 and 75 percent chance to hit, and it varies from combat to combat and opponent to opponent. That's a range of success that feels good to me, and gives a degree of variability.Now, I get that D&D then adds in this variable range of "'nearly meaningless' hit to 'meaningful hit'," and an argument can be made that Nimble kinda sidesteps that by just having better and worse hits, but I sword fight as a hobby and people don't hit me 90% of the time they take a swing, so it breaks my immersion in the narrative if I just get hit basically all the time.I also acknowledge that some of this is straight-up personal preference. I find rolling and narrating the outcome of attacks to be fast and fun. I find damage rolls and calculations to be a tedious exercise in watching many people do what feels to me like painfully slow addition.YMMV.</blockquote>
