[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 2904687, member: 22779"] Absolutely true. However, like Buzz, I never saw it. which meant that opponents NEVER ran away. only done by a thief who had surprise - never came up after the first round of combat In other words, min/maxing for effect. Done at character creation time and never again. which carried such huge penalties that it was rarely done Didn't know it could be done since the only movement that ever happened was rushing forward to engage the enemy and encounter distances are almost 60 feet or less unless you are outdoors, rarely made any difference Didn't know this rule. in all your years of gaming, have you EVER seen a PC do this? Any time I tried, the bad guys never charged. You could only subdue dragons as far as I knew and the grappling rules were so arcane that they might as well have not been there since monsters used claws, they were almost always faster than any weapon[/quote] or choosing between party buffing spells versus attack spells versus healing spells versus defensive spells versus divination spells[/quote] Yeah, like any wizard ever memorized anything other than sleep, fireball and magic missile? They might have been there, but, they were either buried under 15 pounds of crap, or they were entirely ignored. [/QUOTE]
