One idea I toyed with was this: the higher up you go the greater the
plus to hit, up to a point, then it starts going back down again.
Think of standing a few steps higher than your foe on a staircase.
You'd be at an advantage, thus a plus to hit him. But another person,
standing to the left and on a much higher landing for instance, would
actually have to stoop somewhat to hit the lower foe. Not a great
combat stance to be in and so, perhaps, he would not gain any pluses.
It's a more complicated rule but it is something that I had considered
but eventually decided against. Maybe that could work for you.
Modifiers to hit due to height:
One level higher +1
Two levels higher +2
Three levels higher +1
Four levels higher -
Five levels higher -1
Six levels higher -2
One level lower -1
Two levels lower -2
Three levels lower -3
Four levels lower -4
etc....
Of course I'm really just talking off the top of my head here. This
might cause other problems I haven't thought through yet. What's
everyone else's thoughts?
