[QUOTE="Ratskinner, post: 6113800, member: 6688937"] I dunno about "purple prose"*, but I think something more along the lines of how Dungeon World describes its moves might work. I would also note that the formatting blocks a la 4e can actually sometimes take up [I]more[/I] real estate than if powers were just described with in-line text. There's tradeoff for that readability...more than one considering the things you mention. What I'm not sure of is how to fit it in beside what seems to be 5e lighter sim vibe of maneuvers (if they stick around.) It seems to be that they'd somehow need to be orthogonal..... Cannot agree strenuously enough. [SIZE=1]*Without loss of applicability to m[SIZE=1]y statement above, it should[/SIZE] be expected[SIZE=1] a[SIZE=1]s a matter of [SIZE=1]course that amongst the participants in this [SIZE=1]imaginative[/SIZE] leisure acitivity[SIZE=1] in which[/SIZE] we communally indulge[/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE] there are those who still pine for the return of obfuscatorily illuminating verbosity in their rules.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
