[Urist Arrhenius]

I see. If the dice expanded, would all the numbers still be the same, just with an extra chance of success being added?

Yeah, for for noncombat. In combat its a direct subtraction [winner's roll]-[loser's roll]-[loser's block]. In noncombat, it's the typical 1-6 scale, so right now you are playing on the low end of that scale, and later you'll be playing with the full scale. If somebody gets to rolling d7, then 7 will be overshoot instead of six, and six will just be extra good. It'll continue to expand in that way, so your highest roll, if greater than six, will be the overshoot. I don't expect to get higher than d7 or d8, but we'll see.

[origamiscienceguy]

Please give an example of an overshoot. If I want to punch someones head off, what would happen?

That'd be combat, so you'd be good. But if you were looking for a horse, for example, you might find a Hell Charger, or something similarly aggressive. What you want, but more than you can handle.

[origamiscienceguy]

Okay, I see now.

[darkpaladin109]

Smash a armed guy.

[bigjaredmonkey]

oh f**k it. pick up wooden handle again, and CHARGE!

[Andres]

Changing action to flanking an armed man while he's engaged with another peasant. (Do I get a bonus for flanking?)

[Urist Arrhenius]

Turn 6: Massacre (Cont.)

Charge an armed guy again!

[1d4+1=4] vs [1d4+1=2] You run down a nearby noble, and leave him sprawled on the ground. He appears to be unconscious. From your vantage point you can see that the Baron isn’t in the temple.
1 Nobleman incapacitated
+1 Valor and Honor

Smash a armed guy.

[1d5+1=6] vs [1d4+1=2] You are getting the hang of smashing people with hammers, and these men are unused to defending themselves. You crush the skull of a noble too slow to avoid your hammer.
1 Nobleman killed
+1 Valor and Honor

oh f**k it. pick up wooden handle again, and CHARGE!

[1d5=2] vs [1d4+1=4] You charge towards a noble, and while he is far from fearsome he holds his dagger out and you run on to it.
-2 HP (at -1/2), Bleeding
+1 max HP
Attack Skill up

From the top of the palisade, (can I have a height advantage please? It is why I came up here.) Snipe one of the armed men

[1d5+1=4] vs [1d4+1=5] The noble you set your sights on dodged your arrow.


-Nidilap-
You contemplate the nature of meat quite successfully.

Changing action to flanking an armed man while he's engaged with another peasant. (Do I get a bonus for flanking?)

[1d4=4 (flanking success)] [1d5+2=7] vs [1d4+1=5] You see Urist McWoodcutter being stabbed and you rush the assailant. He turns quickly towards you, but not quickly enough and you manage to hamstring him and kick his dagger away.
1 Nobleman Incapacitated

In a sudden surge forward, the peasants cut down the majority of the defenders, leaving only a single man defending the entire temple (noblemen, once wounded in any significant fashion, quickly become much less noble and lay down arms). This imminent victory is tempered somewhat by the absence of the most important target, the Baron himself. He should have been at the service, but he is nowhere to be seen.

Pick up one of the long knives/daggers and throw it at the last guy. While he's distracted either by batting it away or watching it miss, charge him. (Tactics bonus?)

[Nirur Torir]

Keep Urist from bleeding out!

[origamiscienceguy]

Try my luck at shooting again

[origamiscienceguy]

Nirur, do you want me to throw you the cloth again?

Out of curiosity, how does bleeding work?

[Nirur Torir]

Nirur, do you want me to throw you the cloth again?

That might help.

[origamiscienceguy]

I want to figure out how bleeding works first.

[Nidilap]

Sneak around the fray of the battle into a building. Look for a suitable weapon.
