[QUOTE="Wednesday Boy, post: 5594780, member: 53678"] Sounds okay but monster to hits and spell/power effects would have to be examined since they'd be hitting more often. I'd give it a try but I'd be wary of monster damage because PCs would have a greater chance at getting dropped with one hit. I would definitely not want to play a caster with this rule. I like being able to do something every round. I'm not against it but I like the tactical dynamic squares provide and would miss it in D&D. Dresden Files does exactly what you're indicating. I probably wouldn't like it unless it didn't offer so much of an advantage that it was preferrable to a regular attack. In other games I've played in where called shots had a much better result than a normal attack (blind your enemy, cut off their head, chop off their hand, etc.), the power gamers would always make a called shot. I like the WEG d6 Star Wars rule where you could destroy an enemy's body part instead of killing them if you wanted to. (Or something along those lines.) I'd like to see that. I would be okay staying at level 6 as long as there was still a way to expand on your character similar to how E6 lets you keep gaining feats even after you're topped out at 6th level. I think this would slow combat down way too much. Absolutely! I love Call of Cthulhu sanity checks! Probably, it sounds intriguing. Oh, most definitely! One of my favorite classes ever is the 2nd Ed. [I]Tome of Magic's[/I] Wild Mage. I got to play one briefly and the GM let me write my own 1st level spell where I simply rolled twice on the wild surge table and got to pick either result. It was glorious! [/QUOTE]
