███!!!TOP!!!███████████████⇚⇚⇚ROLLS⇚⇚⇚██████████████████████████████████!!!TOP!!!███████████████⇛⇛⇛BODY⇛⇛⇛████████████████████████████A distant door slams, the sound of metal boots assaulting stone steps grows rapidly...
The first thug adjusts the knife in his hand, and charges at the old man's face! The senior ducks! The thug is thrown off balance and trips onto the floor! The second thug lands a solid punch on Bulk's right arm, causing the nitwit to cough while swallowing the last of his meal. The third thug hisses like a cat before trying to scratch at the teenage boy, only finding air and teetering a bit.
Bulk takes his polished drumstick and shoves it into the second thug's mouth, causing him to choke! The old man tries to bash the first thug but just gets a glancing blow on his right leg. The old man follows up with a strike aimed at his face, but again only lightly nicks him. The young man turns away from the pursuing hag, and attempts to trip the thug with the crude knife, but when their legs collide he ends up doing all the tripping himself! Grindak attacks the hag's face again, she cries out in pain... Meanwhile...
"EVERYONE KNOWS THAT I GOT THE LEG POWER TO RUN FOR DAYS!"In the hallway outside the dungeon cell, the muffled shouting of a guard can be heard.
"What is going on in there? It sounds like fighting!"
(inaudible)
"Those slaves are going up for auction today you idiot! If they are all bloody and bruised..."
(inaudible)
Go get the chains, NOW!"The heavy footfall is doubled as it recedes back into the distance.
The homely thug pushes Grindak away and gets up on shaky legs, blood dripping from her assaulted face. She runs behind the blue eyed thug and cowers in a defensive position. He seems truly shocked to see her bloody face, and with peeled back lips displaying clenched teeth he goes in for a stabbing frenzy on the mustached baldy. The blond thug is being chocked by Bulk, and struggles to escape.
Twitch---twitch---blinking, the small-toothy human wipes a nose bleed and joins formation...

I would have also accepted simply 'Front' and 'Back' for #s 4 and 5. MF:
+1 Intelligence0.7 5 Columns, Dynamic Front, & FlankingI'll go ahead and lock it into 5 columns (except perhaps special events). If you have no one infront of you, you will be repositioned at the front of your column. If your column has no one opposing on the enemy team, both your front and rear teammates will have all penalties related to positioning removed. These tactics apply to the enemy aswell.
0.8 Formation Tactics RevisedThe current format is proving to be too cumbersome on my end, so things will be simplified a bit. Attacking back row will always be penalized(except flanking). Front attacking Front will always be rewarded(regardless of same column or not). It will now be a solid +1 or -1 modification to any roll.
0.9 Disadvantage RevisedDisadvantage will also be a solid modification (+1 to +4) to a follow-up attack, regardless of follow-up attacker's attack roll.
0.10 Criticals2 and 12 will now ignore modifiers.
0.11 Heavy BleedingAside: Recently the oldest bay 12 RTD was nominated in the hall of fame for that prestigious association. Actually, it was pretty well done on its' own merits. Immortal's bleeding mechanic in that was simple, but urgent. And I plan to use something similar.
Once you are bleeding, you roll 1d6 to pass out on a 1. On the turn you pass out, and every turn you survive, you roll 1d6 and on a 1 you die. If multiple body parts (head, arms, legs, or torso) are bleeding, there will be multiple rolls.
The battle continues!5
