I have been trying to come up with a good way to house-rule this for years... it simply give the melee classes the option to exploit more than one statistical item on a creature like the casters have.
I would love to see a save-based trip, disarm, etc. I have tried to houserule in, and while it's tricky I have had some success.
I would love to see this, or perhaps even an option that players can use in their games for this.
It adds another dimension to the non-casters...it's one of the few things I really praised in 4th...the ability of non-casters to effect the saves in some way.
PLEEEASE Do this... or an option... something.
Give it some thought.
Would a bribe help?
(I have a dollar)
nobody?
