NOTE: This thread is for mourners only, non-believers need not post. Please refrain from hurling hatred towards others, including those we don't actually know (SR4). The thread will be followed by a simple graveside service, after which everyone is invited over to my place for milk and cookies.
I see through the spin of FAQ #3, dice pools are no more and I am sad to see them go. Perhaps they will add in another combat mechanic that give the same asthetics as the satisfying feel of the Combat Pool. The other dice pools? Meh, bean counting fodder. But the Combat Pool provided the tactical flexibility to bring cunning mixed with bravado to bear in a fight. It helped spring into my mind cinematic visions of the battle unfolding before my character. I shall miss you Combat Pool, so much so that the time spent with you now only feels as if a fleeting acquatince. :( |
