PROLOGUE: DOTH ART WELCOMED TO THE MEDIEVAL FODDER, LAD! PLEASE ACQUAINT THYSELF WITH THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT:In Medieval Fodder: Slaughters of Swords, all you have is DESIRE TO SLAUGHTER! For the glory of the Empire! Or Republic! Or the Union! Or whatever you're fighting for.
It is RTD which has minimal amount of roleplay, basically only
two rolls: Hit roll, and damage roll.
Damage roll depends entirely on the weapon.
Hit roll (1d6) is more complicated:
The person who wins the roll deals damage to the player who lost the roll.
The roll, however, is modified by actions. Each player can ATTACK, DEFEND or IDLE in his turn.
IDLE is an action that allows player to simply wait through the turn; it allows retaliation, but also doesn't grant any bonuses to Parry.
DEFEND'ing player doesn't retaliate in the same turn.
DEFEND'ing player gets +1 against ATTACK'ing player, but only if ATTACK'ers roll is higher.
DEFEND passes into the next turn, up to the beginning of the player's next move.
Player who DEFENDS can use that to cover his ally from one attack.
Shields give a bonus to DEFEND'ing player just as if above rule is applied.
Shields benefit the ATTACK'ing player as well, with a -1 modifier to the Shield's bonus.
WATCH OUT, because the defend/shield bonus will only equalize the rolls - you will never get higher roll than attacker.
The maximum of the Parry bonus is +5!
Example:
Hargh rolls a hit of 6. Phargh rolls a 3.
But, Phargh DEFENDS (+1) and is wielding a Small Shield (+2).
Thus, both rolled a '6', and the whole melee ends with few clanks instead of a gush of blood and pain-filled screaming.
In case of operating a wheel or doing something, a standard 1d6 roll will be applied as well.
CHAPTER I: THOU ART WHOM?In Medieval Fodder, no backstories are needed. No multitudes of labels and bonuses.
All you need is
love~:
Name: pretty obvious
Side: which side you fight for (A or B)
Skill: one of the skills, look below
HP: You start with random of 5 to 8 HP*. Rolled by GM.
Weapon: You start with random weapon*. Rolled by GM!
Armor: You start with random armor*. ROLLED BY GM!!
Shield: You start with random shield. GUESS WHAT!? YES! ROLLED BY GM!
*-Those are modified (at least partially) by skill you choose!
CHAPTER II: THY FATHER TAUGHT THEE WHAT?Skills of the game:
Agile: +1 for Parry/Block rolls.
Axemaster: +1 DMG when holding Hatchets/Axes/Battleaxes. Starts with a random Axe-type weapon.
Beard Friend: Instead of Aketon and Chainmail, your Armor roll consists of Dwarven Chainmail and Dwarven Plate Armor. Restricts weapon roll to Axes and Blunts.
Bluntmaster: +1 max.DMG when holding Flail/Morning Star. Starts with a random Blunt-type weapon.
Commander: Starts with weapon of his/her choice. Restricts armor roll to Chainmail and Plate Armor. Can issue Tactics (refer to Chapter III for detailed instructions).
Draconic: You receive 1 DMG less from Swords and Axes, but 1 DMG more from Spears and Ranged (Blunts without changes). You regenerate 1HP per Turn.
Healthy: Changes HP roll from 5-8 to 8-11.
Leaf Friend: Instead of Aketon and Chainmail, your Armor roll consists of Elven Cape and Elven Chainmail. Restricts weapon roll to Swords and Spears.
Marskman: Instead of being melee fighter, you fight at distance (refer to Chapter IV for detailed instructions).
Noble Heir: You will get one of Heirlooms. Note that each Heirloom can be rolled only once. When all Heirlooms get 'taken', there can be no more Noble Heirs.
Spearmaster: +1 DMG when holding Spear/Halberd. Starts with a random Spear-type weapon.
Swordmaster: +1 DMG when holding Short/Long/Two-Handed Swords. Starts with a random Sword-type weapon.
Two-handed Mastery: +1 DMG and +1 to Parry rolls when using two-handed weapon. Starts with a random two-handed weapon.
CHAPTER III: THY LEADERSHIP SHALL PROVIDE GUIDANCE TO THE MEN!Commander can issue Tactics. These are put into effect at beginning of the turn summary and last for 3 full turns.
If Commander gets attacked when issuing a Tactic, he/she will retaliate. Commander can issue another Tactic before previous one ends; it will override the previous one instantly.
The tactics are as follows:
Fierce Tactic: +1 to Hit and DMG, but -1 to Evasion
Offensive Tactic: +1 to Hit
Normal Tactic: default, no changes
Defensive Tactic: +1 to Evasion
Cowardly Tactic: +2 to Evasion, but -1 to Hit
(special, look below) Tactical Blunder: -1 to Hit and Evasion for 1 Turn
If two Commanders on the same Team try to issue a Tactic in the same turn, the Tactic switches to Tactical Blunder as a penalty!
Also, it's not possible to instantly switch from Fierce to Cowardly and vice versa; at least 1 Turn of Offensive, Normal or Defensive Tactic must pass first.
CHAPTER IV: OH, YE NOT FIGHTING IN CLOSE COMBAT? LISTEN CAREFULLY, THEN!Ranged units doesn't wear shields; instead they use Dagger and either Bow or Crossbow (player chooses which one).
Attacks of ranged units can be countered only by other ranged units.
If attacked in close combat, they counter with Dagger. When the player runs out of ammo - highly impropable but possible - his main weapon becomes Dagger.
Bows can be used every turn; Crossbows must be reloaded (takes a full turn (newcomer's crossbow is already loaded)) before another shot can be performed.
Attacking from range bypasses any Defenders of the targeted enemy (if he has any, that's it).
Marksman's Equipment:
Dagger: 1-3 damage, +1 to Evasion
Bow: 1-5 damage, +1 to Hit, 16 arrows.
Crossbow: 2-5 damage, +1 to Hit, +2dmg against Chainmail/Plate Armor (including Dwarven versions), 6 bolts.
CHAPTER V: THESE ARE AILMENTS THAT CAN HARASS THY BODY!Negative statuses that can befall your characters. In this version of the game, there's only 1 (Bleeding); later, there will be more, like Poison, or others.
Bleeding: Whenever 3 or more Damage is dealt, Bleeding occurs. At end of each turn, there's 50% chance that Bleeding will deal 1 Damage or the Bleeding will stop.
