Turn 12. I have been using the dice to simulate a coin, but it still keeps getting heads. In case anyone is confused about how I roll for damage, here’s a sample:
Steve: Swing sword at Fido {4}. Steve swings his sword at his furry friend. {5-1(Fido’s good at dodging)=4}He squarely hits Fido, {1}but his hit is so weak that Fido isn’t even hurt..
The accuracy roll is both an accuracy roll, and a dodge roll. Fido wants to get a 1, which would be the equivalent of him getting a {5} in most RTDs. A {1}might well result in Fido getting a counterattack.
The damage roll is both the attacker’s power and the defender’s toughness. Again, Fido wants to get a 1. He probably wouldn’t get a counterattack though.
A {6} in either accuracy or damage is noticeably less explosive then a {6} with the main roll. It may have situational disadvantages, or it might act like a {5}.
This public service announcement has been brought to you by the Toady Monotheism Party; we now return to the regularly scheduled turn.
