RQIV Damage Survey Summary

The recent RQIV damage survey went out to 92 individuals on the Internet
or CompuServe that have expressed interest in RQIV, as well as the RQIV
Playtest List.

As of Sunday, I've received 29 responses.

To summarize, they were:

Question 1 - New damage proposal for damage bonus, weapons and armor.

Yes 23
No 6

Question 2 - New hit location proposal, with one merged table.

Yes 20
No 9

Roughly 1/3 of the people responding to either question (both
those answering Yes and No) had additional comments, concerns
or reservations. Some of those mentioned by more than one person:

Even with a negative damage bonus one should still do at
least one point of damage.

Consider making the old melee and missile hit location tables
options.

Most of the people answering no to either question appeared to
be primarily concerned with their effect on the compatibility of
published scenarios.

I actually found the results rather interesting, because I expected
a far more negative response. I'll post an updated summary at the end
of the week (by which time I expect perhaps 50 response, a sample of
reasonable size).

Thanks again to all those that have responded to date.

Oliver
