Ok guys, as for changing the XP system so far we have 3 votes in favor and one abstain. I would like to hear from Sham, Noisms and Ranele on this before proceeding. Of course unless all of them vote against the change, in which case we have a tie the motion for change goes through.

I like Makofan's suggestion that we try the killing shot model for a bit and then decide. If you are asking for a vote now, my preference is one polar opposite or the other. Either killing shot, or full shares for all present. Anything in between is difficult to judge fairly, imo.

I am indifferent. This probably means I'm not in the right mindset to play old school. That's fine with me. I'm having fun.

I'm indifferent too. Both ways have their advantages, so I'll leave it to the majority vote.

STEALTH & SNEAKING
We will be using a variation of a system proposed on these very forums to resolve matters of stealth and hiding. I have re-posted this information with a more exact breakdown of how stealth is calculated.
The base chance is 45% for all characters. This value is modified by:
DEX 01-20 -10% DEX 21-40 -5% DEX 61-80 +5% DEX 81-95 +10% DEX 96-100 +15%
Leather -10% Scale -15% Chain -25% Chain and Plate -30% Plate -40%
Buckler n/a Shield -5% Large Shield -10%
Helm n/a Full/closed Helm -5%
Besides this Stealth decreases by 5% for each reduction in movement rate due to encumbrance; this has already been factored in the armor tables above.
Simply put, the more armored you are the harder it is to be silent and sneaky.

GREAT HELMS
A great helm provides more protection (+1 to AC over armor or +2 if worn solo) but wearing one might affect a character adversely in two ways.
Perception: when making a perception roll the d100 is rolled twice and the worse result taken.
Sorcery: certain spells, specifically those that deal with perception or need to be "targeted" at a foe likewise roll 2 d100's for the roll and take the worse result. A great helm will affect spellcasting outside combat or a stressful situation, it still remains automatic in that case.

Critical Hits, Double Damage and "Instant Death"
These rules work normally for player characters as stated in the EPT rulebook. If a natural "20" is rolled on an attack roll it always hits and there is an outright 10% chance of the blow slaying the enemy there and then, should this not occur double damage is dealt (damage dice are rolled twice and added).
A natural 20 rolled by a normal NPC or a monster always hits a PC for normal damage but has a 20% chance of "knocking him out".
Some "named" NPCs might make use of the critical hits rules as used for player characters.
