(TFT) Languge of Dice

["David Michael Grouchy II" <david_michael_grouchy_ii@hotmail.com>]

   My humble contribution to the D20 system.  I have had to gel this one a 
little while trying to figure out to explain it.  Instead I realize that we 
speak the TFT language fluidly enough that numbers can speak for themselves. 
 I choose the layout of the MELEE OPTIONS as combat seems to be the focus 
of the current rules testing.  I submit that the D20 system can add more to 
the TFT system while still maintaining its unique combination of DX mods and 
increased number of dice rolled.
