 December 3, 2007 - 2:44am | I was using the STR score for hit determination in the past two sessions. Using DEX is up for debate though, I know the expanded game allows this and although I personally disagree with it I still allow for it in the expanded game. PS is merely how much damage a character will inflict with an open handed attack. If your PS is 3, that's what you inflict with each hit. If we incorporate this into Basic, my opinion is it should simply be left that way. |

In reality, I'd expect it's a combination, but STR + DEX / 2 is not 'basic'..... PS seems simple enough, although slow to take someone down (Military PSA gets bonus would be fine by me) |

It's the difference between the barbarian and the martial artist. You use whichever one you're better at. |
