I am thinking of starting an oWoD game with some friends. We all like the story and powers of oWoD, but the combat system for to-hit and dodge in nWoD is much faster: instead of rolling accuracy, then dodge, then damage, then soak, it's just one roll of to-hit minus their DV. (At least, if I understand it right.)
Is there any fairly clean way to convert oWoD battle mechanics to nWoD? I realize that some distinction - like a mage using Entropy 2 to boost accuracy vs using Forces 2 to boost damage - are lost since these are no longer separate rolls, but I can just have them both add dice; the players won't be playing as mages, so it's not a big deal.
Any ideas?
