Duke Knight's Momentum is up for revision? Which version of the skill would you prefer?

Current one, unchanged.
+4 AS and +5 DMG when moving 4 spaces or more.
+2 AS and +3 DMG on Player Phase, with additional +2 AS and +2 DMG when moving 4 spaces or more.
+1 AS and +1.5 DMG for each space moved up to 4 spaces.
Current one but AS bonus is converted to DR from the end of the Player Phase until the next one.
I don't know but I want to see the results.

I'll poll the scavenger thing now. I could use me tiebreaker vote for the 4 way tie but I'm just going to leave it as possible future :-X

It sounds really weird to have scavengers that can only steal from the living.
What if we introduced a random element to the amount of money scavenged?

Enemy's Total Level = X
On kill, steal Xd50 gold
(or on first hit)

...Or something like that. Possible bonus points for scaling with level?
Level 1 mooks carry enough pocket change for a hot cross bun, but not a spare sword. Kill several and you can get a slim weapon, though!
Level 20 mooks, statistically, carry (20 * (50+1)/2 = ) 510 coins each; I won't claim to be intimately familiar with the FEF market prices, but if they're like Awakening, 3 kills gives you a really nice sword, and 5 can buy you a Speedwing if someone's got some for sale.

It might need some balancing (maybe make it Xd100 where X is 1/3 the enemy level?), but the random scavenge system could work.

GMs don't like rolling a lot of numbers. They're lazy :V

Guilty as charged.

I'm cutting down roll-needing content as much as I can and make memory-shortcuts wherever I can... so yeah, guilty as well ._.

I'm tempted to change the poll to "are GMs lazy?".

GMs for FEF already have to do a lot of number crunching and two to three rolls every attack, so I don't consider it lazy if they don't want add another random roll on top of the ones they already have to do.

That and track the ten million variables for every fight.

The exact reason when I always plead and whine when people deviate from '+10 to something' type of personal skills :P

Not changing the system midway through NoH, but the next game I eventually run will.

I never apply changes to my games unless it is absolutely necessary to nerf/fix something.

Had a good idea, got shot down by laziness.
Story of my life  :'(

I totally get it though, whenever I try to GM something my own laziness always bites everyone.
