I can see that being a perfectly valid decision a lot of the time, espcially as moving and shooting will still generate the same ARO as just shooting from original position...Venerable Brotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07216367267460059729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-5174735287506138572011-08-29T12:24:48.170+01:002011-08-29T12:24:48.170+01:00@Bully the variance is very subtle in this game, p...@Bully the variance is very subtle in this game, plus the weapon modifiers for range also play into the chance thing. Theres a lot to think about including different ammo types and the burst of weapons. Genuinely it never gets too complex because the way it works is so simple, its just so slick.Frontline Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110901356802705087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-16527208686912910032011-08-29T11:52:59.301+01:002011-08-29T11:52:59.301+01:00Looks cool Ven - I like D20 systems generally as i...Looks cool Ven - I like D20 systems generally as it just has a much wider spec of what can go on. Like you say - "3+" sometimes just gets boring. In a small scale game/model count, having the variation be the dice is solid - also allows for a ton of modifiers (sounds like there is) due to the wider scope of results available.Bullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376322430128578637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-41016983202714663062011-08-29T11:19:58.945+01:002011-08-29T11:19:58.945+01:00On the guts roll you can also choose to wimp out, ...On the guts roll you can also choose to wimp out, which is sometimes worth it, if one of you guys is suddenly faced with a rampaging Avatar!!! I think what I'd add is that the D20 mechanic in Infinity is very reminiscent of many RPGs and if anyone has played any D20 based RPGs that aren't D&D then you'll actually feel right at home with how this game plays.Frontline Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110901356802705087noreply@blogger.com
