We have a rulebook for the explanation of the variety of rules - the book of war. The book of war is a complexity that is the responsibility of engaging participants.
It is my opinion that similar and previous said instances of simplification is a manifestation of laziness and a method of changing the difficulty of some strikes.
Number systems for rules such as armor remain the way they are for thier level of rule recall in combat.

Krieger wrote:Rule changes, that are spoken of, ARE about making STRIKES and/or STABS easier to make a killing blow. (That has the appearance of laziness to me.)
I like the rules the way they are.

Not true. Many stick jocks (me included) like the rule set with the variety. Many of us like that different weapon combos take different skill/strategies kill someone with. And simple is not always better; look at rules like off-sides in soccer, goal-tending in basketball, etc. (all rules which make it more difficult to win) - just because its more simple doesn't mean it improves the game.
~ Kade ~ wrote:All true, but in this case, green damage doesn't make it easier to win, or give you a different option to win, it just gives you something else to call the same strike. When push comes to shove, a strike is a strike, and a stab is a strike. All we are really changing here is the language used in the BOW.
