Default Re: Experience with Comparative DX for Combat?

No. With these house rules, figures with the same adjDX have to roll a 10 or less to hit each other, whether they are both adjDX 7 or both adjDX 18. Without the house rule, the adjDX <9 fighters miss each other a lot, and the adjDX 15+ fighters almost never miss each other.

I didn't apply this house rule to spellcasting. In what way did they gain an advantage the way you played it?

Their adjDX? Yes, that's a point. Unless the GM handles the calculations.
