...one should look in the damn rules book.
Hypothetical readers know that I have been grappling with unarmed combat rules for Under the Dying Sun (that "grappling"? that's a pun, you see) here and then again here. Then, a few days ago, I was leafing through Monstrous Mayhem, the only S&S supplement at the moment, a book I have read through multiple times, and saw grappling rules.
Yep. Grappling rules.
That sound you hear through your screen is my hand slapping my head.
Now, to be fair, I think that I might prefer my own rule--attack vs. AC 1 with target getting a STR Save to escape--versus the official rule--opposed DEX Saves. But still....
Ah well.
Oh well...
ReplyDeleteIf all the times I slapped myself in the head while reading the B/X books were condensed into 5 minutes I would be unconscious.
