Battles are only as bad as you make 'em. Read this.

Or just, you know, don't include battles at all. |
Do you have any suggestions? It seems as if the battles are the one thing in the OHRRPGCE that are the hardest thing to customsize for your own purposes without scripting a custom battle engine. Something that is far beyond our plotscripting ability.

The article Joe Man linked to gives some good ideas.

That article has some interesting ideas on levelling up, but it didn't say much more. I don't think I have ever played an RPG with really fun battles. Exept maybe the Black Isle games.
One idea of a custom battle system would be a non-stat based system, where you move your characters into strategic positions, kind loke a board game or something. This may be hard to do in the OHR though...
