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.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Okay, with Rough and Tumble tweaked, that finished up classes! Hurrah! Though we may go back briefly to introduce Hunter after other issues are hammered out.

Speaking of: Terrain. There's a bunch of crap about it in the book that gets ignored. Lets have a version we all more or less agree on using.

Here's my proposal.

Spoiler: Blade's Terrain Proposal (click to show/hide)

Floor/Plains/Road/Deck: The most common terrain types, no inherent penalties or bonuses. 1 Move Cost per tile.

Forest: +15 Evade, +1DEF/RES. 2 Move cost per tile. 4 Move cost for mounted units.

Deep Forest: +20 Eva, +2DEF/RES, 3 Move cost per tile. Horseback cannot enter.

Hill: +20 Eva, +2DEF/RES, 3 Move cost per tile. Horseback cannot enter.

Mountain: +25 Eva, +3DEF/RES, 4 Move cost per tile. Impassable without mountain walk or omni-movement.

River: Without Waterwalk: -10 Eva, -1DEF/RES, 5 Move cost per tile. Impassable by Horseback.
With Waterwalk: +10 Eva, +1DEF/RES, 2 Move Cost per tile

Icy River: Without Waterwalk: -10 Eva, -1DEF/RES, 5 Move cost per tile. Impassable by Horseback. Units beginning their phase on this tile take 5 damage.
With Waterwalk: +10 Eva, +1DEF/RES, 2 Move Cost per tile Units beginning their phase on this tile take 5 damage.

Ford: Without Waterwalk: -10 Eva, -1DEF/RES, 3 Move cost per tile. 5 Move cost per tile with Horseback. 2 Move cost with Levitate
With Waterwalk: +10 Eva, +1DEF/RES, 1 Move Cost per tile

Ocean: Impassable without Omni-movement. -20 Eva, -2DEF/RES. 5 Move cost per tile.
With Waterwalk: +20 Eva, +2 DEF/RES, 2 Move Cost per tile.

Pool: Without Waterwalk: -10 Eva, -1DEF/RES, 5 Move cost per tile. Impassable by Horseback.
With Waterwalk: +10 Eva, +1DEF/RES, 2 Move Cost per tile

Marsh: Without Waterwalk: -5 Eva, 2 Move cost per tile.
With Waterwalk: +5 Eva, 1 Move cost per tile.

Poison Marsh: Without Waterwalk: -5 Eva, 2 Move cost per tile. Units beginning their phase on this tile takes 3 turns of poison.
With Waterwalk: +5 Eva, 1 Move cost per tile. Units beginning their phase on this tile takes 3 turns of poison.

Grave: +10 Eva, 1 Move cost per tile. Units with Undead: recover 5 HP if occupying the tile at the beginning of their phase.

Fire: 2 Move cost per tile. 3 Move cost for Horseback. Units occupying this space at the beginning of their phase take 10 Damage.

Ruins: +5 Eva. 1 Move cost per tile.

Cliff: Units can not end their turn on this space without flying. Units with Omni-movement or Mountain Walk can move into the tile at a base Move cost of 4.

Pillars: +15 Evade, +1DEF/RES. 2 Move cost per tile. 4 Move cost for mounted units.

Stairs: +5 Eva, 1 Move cost per tile. With Horseback, 3 Move cost per tile.

Throne: +20 Eva, +2DEF/RES, 2 Move cost. With Horseback, 4 Move cost per tile. Units beginning their phase on this tile recover 5 HP.

Wall: Impassable. On Indoor maps, Impassable even to flying units.

Cracked Wall: Impassable. On Indoor maps, Impassable even to flying units. Can be destroyed. HP and Defenses assigned by GM

Chest/Open Chest: +5 Eva, 1 Move cost per tile.

Door: Impassable. Can be destroyed, HP and Defenses assigned by GM.

Fort: +15 Eva, +2DEF/RES, 2 Move cost per tile. 4 Move Cost for Horseback units. Units beginning their phase on this tile recover 5 HP.

Sand: Modifies terrain. Adds +1 Move cost per tile. On terrain without modifiers for Horseback units, +3 Move cost for Horseback units.

Snow: Modifies terrain. Adds +1 Move cost per tile.

Two questions.

First, is there a reason you went with DEF/RES all those times instead of a simple DR?

Second, unless Omni-movement got changed recently it only raises the move cost of tiles like Ocean and Mountain by +2. So unless you're intending to give Wanderers a move cost of 7 on oceans (thus making them all but impassable), giving them a move cost of 5 when water-walkers have a cost of 2 makes no sense.

[Solymr]

Here's my counterproposal for terrains. Since GMs can modify and add their own terrains, I think it's best to leave just the more basic types of terrains down.

Spoiler: Solymr's Terrain Proposal (click to show/hide)

First of all, a distinction between Indoors and Outdoors: while flying units can fly over any terrain outdoors, indoors they are subject to the same MOV costs and restrictions as Horseback units.

Floor/Plains/Road/Deck: 1 MOV Cost per tile. Nothing special.

Forest/Pillar: +15 Evade, +1 DR. 2 MOV cost per tile, 3 MOV cost for Horseback.

Deep Forest: +30 Evade, +1 DR. 3 MOV cost per tile. Horseback cannot enter.

Hill: +20 Evade, +1 DR. 3 MOV cost per tile. Horseback cannot enter.

Mountain: +30 Eva, +2 DR. 4 MOV cost per tile. Impassable without Mountain Walk/Sprint or Omni-Movement.

River: 2 MOV cost. Impassable without Water Walk, Levitation or Omni-Movement, can't end turn on it without Water Walk.

Water: +5 Evade. 2 MOV cost. Impassable without Water Walk or Omni-Movement.

Fort/Throne: +10 Eva. 1 MOV cost. Units beginning their phase on this tile recover 5 HP.

Wall/Cliff: Impassable.

Cracked Wall: Impassable. Can be destroyed. HP and Defenses assigned by GM.
 
Door: Impassable. Can be destroyed or opened by lockpicks/Lock Mastery. HP and Defenses assigned by GM.

Sand/Snow: Foot units without Levitation lose 1 MOV and Horseback units lose their MOV bonus when starting their turn in this terrain. Flying units and units with Levitation don't take penalties.

On that note, Warrior's Rough and Tumble activates with 3 enemies within 3 spaces now.

Omni-Movement did get a reword. Any terrain with a MOV cost higher than 1 has its cost reduced by 1 for the Wanderer.

Also yes, DEF/RES is mechanically distinct from DR, because DR doesn't apply to the staff hit formula or critical hits.

[Sirus]

Hold up, in what way does DR not apply to critical hits? It's damage resistance.

I can understand it not applying to staff hit formulas, since staffs don't actually deal damage, but DR should function exactly the same as DEF and RES when it comes to crits.

[Blade Master Model 42]

DR applies only to final damage, which would be one step after the multiplication of the critical hit.

Examples:

Spoiler: 2 DR (click to show/hide)

Mercenary A attacks Archer B!
Autohit!
10-5=5-2=3 Damage!

Mercenary A attacks again!
Autohit! Crit!
10-5=5x3=15-2=13 Damage!

Spoiler: 2 DEF (click to show/hide)

Mercenary A attacks Archer B!
10-5-2=3 Damage!

Mercenary A attacks again!
Autohit! Crit!
10-5-2=3x3=9 Damage!

The reason we did this was to widen available design space. Otherwise you may as well replace any instance of DR with DEF/RES. Why would we even come up with a new term if it just worked the same?

[TricMagic]

Differences between Speed and AS?

[Blade Master Model 42]

Differences between Speed and AS?

AS can be modified by WT on equipment that can't be compensated for by a combination of weapon skill and character CON. SPD can't be reduced.

[TricMagic]

(SPD - [Weapon Weight - {CON + Proficiency Bonus}]). Any Negative counts as 0.
Speed
Weapon weight 12  -   {6+3=9}  =  12-9 = 3

So Speed -3=AS

Personal Skill triggers. +2Spd =+2AS
Same result, but Speed is used for more things?

I think this is correct, unless something changed about combat.

Because DR is faster and simpler to type or say than DEF/RES? I figured that was implied.

Also there's absolutely nothing I can find in my handbooks about DR being subtracted after Total Damage has already been calculated. Maybe I'm missing something.

I'm assuming that you're working with one of the 1.salt releases or earlier. DR was developed as a mechanic during the major review of classes that we just finished, specifically as part of changes to Armored, since we determined that the Damage Threshold (DT) mechanic was terrible. That being the case you wouldn't have a book that has DR in it.

Edit: Yeah Tric, you seem to have it all down.

[Sirus]

Actually, the 1.salt book I have lists DR in the Support section, and in the list of suggested PS effects it includes "1 damage reduction". So yeah, I do have DR in at least one book.

Funnily enough that got brought to my attention over in the chat. I suppose this is the problem with incremental releases, as well as the addition of new terms without them being properly defined.

[Praefectus Screptum]

I prefer Soly's version, no need to add some sort of secondary effect to -every- single type of tile, plus if the GM wants to they can decide what to do with them. As long as we have the "common" tile stats set down, I think we are fine.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Soly has the better version, yeah.
