I have been working on a special kind of dice RP HUD for past couple of weeks. Yeah, my new project since the one particular system I was working on is complete. Well from the opinions of some folks, when I explained the system to them. I get “That is unfair” Or “That is not balanced right” Or “That’s just one sided”
SO!?!?!?!?!
Battle is not fair. Isn’t the whole concept of combat to gain, or have the upper hand over an opponent? Hmm gee lets look;
“contest, conflict, war. Battle, action, skirmish mean a conflict between organized armed forces. A battle is a prolonged and general conflict pursued to a definite decision” - http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/combat
This would also be considered a duel because in general its between two people so! ;
“1. a prearranged combat with deadly weapons between two people following a formal procedure in the presence of seconds and traditionally fought until one party was wounded or killed, usually to settle a quarrel involving a point of honour ” – http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/duel
So there you have it. It is not meant to be fair, there can only be one outcome, a victor and a loser. If people wanted to be balanced, then i’ll give you balanced. Make it come to draws all the time. Yeah that would get things done alright. Well whatever, you scumbags that think they need to have everything fair and just need to know how life really is.
LIFE IS NOT FAIR COMBAT IS NOT FAIR
If you don’t like that, don’t use my system, go back to one of those pathetic combat systems and have your draws.
