Thrakor looked around.  Why did he have a serious case of deja vu, despite having no idea where he was or what he was doing?

He ran for it.


Head east to the green room.  Say some Words.

That was really bad luck with word choices. Anyway, correcting waitlist.

Working on it.

TCM you are an excellent magical punching bag.

Balance change:

A targeted shot will give a -1 malus to the dexterity roll of the attacker.

The explanaition for combat:

1)Speed determines initiative.
2)Opposed dex check to determine if something hits.
3)Damage is calculated via a strength roll, The opposed roll adds 1 point for every two points of difference starting from a difference of two. (you have a difference of 4, you get +1 to damage)

Explanation: if something hits you, you are going to get hurt. How do you mitigate damage? You prevent yourself from getting hurt. You have been hurt? Endure the pain.

Damage effects are the status effects:

Damage table:
2> : no damage.
2-3: minor debuff.
4-5: intermediate debuff.
6 or more: fatal wound or similar. Depends heavily on context.

How does the difference between opposed dex rolls affect the attack?  For example, in Pit, there were four possibilities:

Attacker roll was equal or better:  Full force attack
Defender roll was better by one:  Partial attack
Defender roll was better by two:  Dodge
Defender roll was better by three or more:  Counterattack *I probably forgot this rule a lot

Ties go to the defender as a dodge as well as rolls better by one or two. Counterattacks start from a difference of 3 in favor of the defender.

I considered doing half force attacks with low successes, but that would buff dexterity even more, it is already quite important in melee combat.

How about wide-ranging attacks (like shooting a wall at someone) or AoE attacks?

Zentol chuckles a little.

"Zoth-hareth Halthel... Chall-thel Zoth-hareth Halthel...".

He looks at Unholy's corpse, and the volume of his chuckle rises.

"Shaazeshelial Chall-thel...?  Haeltheaol Harialtontall?  Haeltheaol Zzers?"

He shakes his head as the volume continues to rise into a maniacal cackle.

+Dex +Murder.

((Really hoping this discussion doesn't lead to you nerfing me after I've made all these enemies.  If you retroactively balance dex, can I at least switch to a mage build?))

AoE attacks depend on the nature of the attack. Damage is the difference between the pot roll and the dex roll, as well as with non magically aimed attacks (aimed is something more than direction)

I won't nerf you. You can still wound people reliably, or do specifics wounds less reliably. Keep in mind that all that slashing stuff is useless against most kinds of armor. Also, you are particularly weak to some magic stuff, which hasn't been discovered yet. You may have an edge in combat (as would have the super tough guy who can endure a lot of stuff), but you can't allow someone to hit you because you will lose your bonuses.

Also, I won't retroactively nerf, that's just madness.

EDIT: an important, bolded thing.

Get up, launch at Derm with tackle, eat his facial features.

[Tomcost]

"Y'all dumb."
Tear off clothing to obtain rags to seal wound with. Also, Chokeslam Derm.

Choose one action. Not allowing both on the same combat turn.
