    Fallen, your defination of "resonable" is obviously contingent upon my agreeing with you. You've made that abundently clear time and time agian. That is what I was saying.

    I suggested this as well. It's fine with me, I'll eve have the mods post it.

    I actually think this is a good idea, and will do some testing and talking with the rest of team and see if, and how far, we want to go down this route.

    @Macroi: I didn't dismiss your views out of hand, as I have said I agree that your system is intuitive and logical, it looks very much like the system I started with. When I have enough free time to re-run tests and provide you with results I'm happy to do so, but re-running test is probably my absolute last priority (I am a full time University student with hours of academic and extracurricular actives every day, not to mention my commitment to EB which as any active member will tell you eats up an absurd amount of time). I feel like you've dismissed me out of hand far more often that I have with you, I assure that the defense values don't do work entirely as one would assume if they worked in exactly a one to one relationship. I assume the way in which RTW rolls attack v. defense causes this, but they have not give us this formula. Testing makes it's pretty clear that it's a simple roll of Attack Factor v. Total Defense. When I have time to run a large batch of test shifting the position of various defense factors I will post the results, but don’t hold your breath.
