Switching left and right mouse button?
i am someone who is used to "right click = cancel" can we have an option to rebind those keys? or just key rebinds in general?

If I go back and do more work on the game, I'll think about adding a switch between left and right mouse buttons - but something other than cancel will always be on right click, so it's never going to be quite perfect for you unfortunately.

The reason is both select and attack cannot be on the same button. That's the way it was originally (yes, attack used to be on LMB!), and heavy feedback was that this prevented attacking on areas of the character sheet where you could select - so they have to be on different buttons (much better than having a modifier key or something).

Since selecting dice was (and should be) on left mouse, I prefer selecting actions to also be on the same button, which meant there was no other choice but to have executing the action be on right mouse. I think it would feel weirder to select dice on LMB but select actions on RMB... (or even vice versa)

right, so separating the grid from field events wasn't a option then? well understandable, it just feels a little awkward to not attack when left clicking, maybe its wise to make so if someone uses left click to attack to disable the character sheet buttons?

That's certainly another option, but then it would slow down things for players who don't use hotkeys - they'd need to actively cancel the currently selected attack before selecting another one. I think that would be a "greater evil". I agree it feels weird at first attacking on RMB (imagine when I'd played hundreds of hours using LMB then had to relearn it on RMB :D ) but after a little while it feels natural to me.

I'm a bit of an oldschool gamer but I liken it to the classic Cannon Fodder game on the Amiga, where you used LMB to select & move your units and RMB to fire.

i blame card games ruining my idea of left click to select and right click to attack, heck i was used to C&C to have left button only
