I find the idea the "Defender" has the prerogative to choose the trajectory of a projectile to be quite abhorrent, because then it's controlling the attacking character's character to a degree, by being able to be boiled down to the following situation (Attacker: "I shoot an arrow at the Defender" Defender: "The Attacker's character is a bad shot, and the arrow misses entirely.")

Instead, I see the defender always has two options: Dodge (Either through awareness, or seridipity), or tough it out. Just because it hits doesn't mean it hurts. Personally, in situations such as Ranged attacks, I like rolling a 10 on a modified d20 roll to determine a projectile's trajectory. Ranged combat is somewhere the abstract gameplay of D&D really shines. There are far too many variables to write a trajectory fairly.

Of course, this is just my personal preference.

Just a note: I have a d20 on my side of the screen. I'll be using that when determining the outcomes off attacks against my character, and even reflect the outcome in my description of attacks against foes. (I don't character control, but still give an indication of how effective my attack should be)

You guys seemed to pretty much entirely ignore Revis, but oh well. At least we're finally splitting into sub-groups.

It would be interesting putting Jarn with the noble and Baan. But then, Jarn and the Breton have already had a small confrontation which would be interesting to explore.

Post limit, therefore lock time.
