I'm sorry, but my head is having difficulty wrapping around that. It maybe just me, but it seems to not be clear to me. Example please?

[Squeegy]

It's clearly not just you because multiple people have made this mistake, even though I've patiently explained it in the thread each and every time it happened. But I don't understand where people are getting "damage" from. The word is nowhere in there. And the book says in many places, even in the definition of "upgrade," that it refers to the attack, evasion, and block dice pools.

The updated character sheet... thing.

[Squeegy]

Needs to be shared!

Ok, excellent. You still haven't fixed your raw attack dice (they should be 1d10), though.

[kj1225]

Fixed it.

You can also get 1 extra skill/knack, if I'm not mistaken. Also, I believe the campaign name to be "Dueling Blades". Autocorrect says "duelling" is spelled with two l's if the GM's interested.

[Squeegy]

The dictionary says dueling, so I'm gonna ignore autocorrect.

And yes, kj, you forgot to give yourself back that last rank of Specialization: Spear.

Is it possible to blind someone in this game?

EDIT: Turns out the difference between "dueling" and "duelling" is whether you're using American English or British English.

[Squeegy]

Not currently. You could cut off their head, but that wouldn't just blind them. Thing is, if you're driving a knife into someone's eye, why not just push a little harder and get their brain?

I could add a powder that blinds people you could throw, I guess. It would let me make a whole 'Alchemical Tools' section, which I've been meaning to do for gunpowder.

That's actually very hard to do even with thrusting weapons. You either need something thin or something with a lot of mass, either way you're going to need to put some force into it to get past all the tissue and bone. Also, it's possible to take out someone's eyes by slashing at them or hitting them with a hammer.

[Squeegy]

I suppose, but adding in blindness through combat mechanics seems like unnecessary bloat. And it would impact the players much more than the enemies you fight. Losing a hand or a leg is bad enough, you can't even restore limited functionality to your eyes.

[Andres]

That's cool, I just wanted to know if that was a mechanic. Fun mechanics over realism is sometimes necessary.

[Squeegy]

Yeah, I've tried to balance realism against fun and ease of gameplay. I've removed several mechanics I felt were just unnecessary bloat, and generally streamlined things where I could.
