[QUOTE="tx7321, post: 3326481, member: 43146"] Typically battles in our 3E games were so complicated enemy numbers were kept small, thus flanking almost never came up. Anyhow, like I said, it was an "image" kewl thing. Logic wasn't first on the mind of our players. 3E is very much about "looks" and "image" through customization (in 1E you had templates so it wasn't really possible, thus not an issue). As another poster mentioned, in the "old days" if someone wanted to play a ranger, they just played their fighter as if he knew alot about surviving in the woods (no special rules or props needed). 3E went the other direction with rules and props for everything (maximum customization). Even the artwork suggests this shift. Compare 3E artwork to 1E and ask yourself, which looks more like the Midievil period, more like the guys running around in Excalibur. I always assumed everyone new and accepted this. :confused: Look, why else would the creators even have the armor/dex rule in the first place? [/QUOTE]
