[Akroma]

yes, summons should be pre-defined, even genetic ones, and the summoning duration, cost and TN can be decided by smurf

[kj1225]

I actually think that removing combat could be a good idea. Since pretty much all the stupid arguments stemmed from them. After all, GMs should know if the heroes would win or lose.

[Sanure]

Ah, but that makes it's own kind of problems when a character should have won but the GM decides that losing would be a better option. Combat helps define who should win. Just too much balance becomes the major issue.

[Akroma]

also it creates tense moments, without them being pre-defined and the GM thinking "hmm, now we should have a tense moment"

[Sanure]

Also True.

[PrivateNomad]

Yeah, like when people thought I pulled off a TPK

Obviously if the GM thinks that it's true. And there's no reason that the character in question would have if that's the case.

It creates bitching about how powerful the opponents in question are.

[USEC_OFFICER]

In other words, the arguements are overshadowed by how enjoyable and tense combat is.

[Kansa]

And it wouldn't stop arguments in the slightest just having the GM decide who would win.

[kj1225]

They shouldn't happen to begin with.

[Kansa]

Maybe not but your suggestion wouldn't solve anything.

[kj1225]

Better than any of Akroma's previous suggestion.

[Kansa]

Considering it would only make the arguing worse, no it wasn't.

[Akroma]

err, no. Now be so kind and dont start an arguement from the sidelines. Someone who quit the game might not be the best to argue what is best for the game, because the ones who didnt quit clearly think differently.


The GM just dictating what is happening is bad, might as well read a book

[Sanure]

Woah waoh. Arguing about the arguments is an unnecessary arguement. Combat needs to be toned down. Yes we all probably agree with that. But removing Combat all together is a bad idea. Let's not discuss why we like or dislike combat but instead talk about how we can improve it to make it more enjoyable.

@Akroma, KJ still has a character, so don't fuel fodder to the fire.
