My house rules are gonna be huge simply because of how they interact with the rules... Redoing the M section of M&T is awfully fun. @_@

Sounds like the CKG is going to be a pretty interesting sort of book. Perhaps it will end up being much larger than the core books, given the development time!

<t>Makes sense in certain ways though it could be displayed differently mechanically. <br/> Usually it is better to have higher damage for one attack and then smaller damage for two in my experience.

To lay this one to rest... As always, I understand the minimalist approach and I like it. But I think the omission of attributes is a step that wasn't necessary. That said, I'll deal with it the same way I deal with any other problem. Create a solution!

<t>Thanks for sharing. And putting up with my rant. <br/> It also occurs to me that no attribute bonuses makes it so that a monster attacks with melee and ranged weapons with the same numbers.
