Erm... I seem to have alot of questions these days... but its always nice whan one is starting out a new game to see how more experienced players and GM's run it in that particual game... so:
My players and I myself prefer to have a defence-roll instead of having a set value, like AC, or in the case of Conan, a Dodge/Parry defence value.
I think if letting my players roll d20 and add their bonus against any attacks that comes at them... in the case of being flat-footed, they loose all bonuses and roll an unmodified d20 for defence...
I am aware that this slows combats down a trifle, but since me and my players like it this way, I concider it worth it.
So, anybody else running it this way? Any comments? Does it run smoothly and keep players happy? And, if running it this way, is there any better way than a straight d20 roll for flat-fotted characters? Any thoughts on this?
