These prototypes get a -1 to-hit, fire even on a miss, and a +4 check on the cluster table. I kinda like them better.

Agreed. Firing on a miss isn't that big of a deal. Sure, it saves ammo, but to get a -1 and a +4 on the cluster table is WELL worth the exchange.

This is why 2d6 doesn't work for this game anymore.

i kinda agree. I'd like to see them utilize larger dice and expand the BAR rules.

3d6 is all we need...

I don't know what it's like with other game systems since I'm not so invested in them, but I find with BT fans, whenever there's some kind of significant rule change, we're a bunch of cry-babies! It's why I avoid the BT forums. I swear half the people who post there infuriate me.

Those crybabies are why we have all this munchkin tech as canon.

Think of the best players you know Mordel, and I'll bet a huge majority of them started as 3025 players.

If you want to see a 3d6 RPG system with a few fun twists, then look at Dragon Age/Fantasy Age. It's not a thing I'd want in CBT, but it's fun otherwise.

Why wouldn't you want to use 3d6 vs the current 2d6 system?

I don't like high numbers for games. More counting slows things down.

It would be the exact same counting as now, only from 3-18 instead of 2-12.

One more die, one more number to add. Some modifiers would have to be increased as well to keep them relevant. Then multiply it by number of weapons. Things like Stalkers and Albatross start to add up numbers pretty quick. I don't like it.

My only point against would be that it is harder to roll groups of weapons. I know we match up dice and roll multiple weapons at the same time. Could still do it, just a bit harder with 3 dice.

If you can't do basic math you don't belong playing this game.

You'd just need a third die to match the two you were already using. Know many gamers with just two six siders? LOL
