Converted from Phorums BB System

But the truth is that the new combat is not making it easier to hit someone with higher damage weapons. It takes combat rounds holistically.. that is: it is easier to -hurt- someone with said weapon.

You very well might be hitting them MORE often with the other weapons, but not doing any signifigant damage. The fact is that when all is said and done, it isn't simulating hit and damage any more its simulating TOTAL RESULT FROM CONFLICT.

And that result is in damage that lasts.

Also, consider the fact that bruising damage is gone quickly.

And that combat is designed to NOT be the focus for the game.

It's like the anti-d20.
