lol. Yeah, I had to fix that. ^^;

[Taricus]

Shouldn't Marcus gotten a free attack on claire due to the overwhelming success of his defence?

[Darvi]

Taric I know you want to join but at least keep the girl alive.

[Ahra]

bring down the axe on his head.

[Taricus]

Hey, knowing player luck in this it would start a duel

[SeriousConcentrate]

When I revise the rules. Right now counters only occur when rolling low on the damage roll. I might've considered it if the roll had been like 2 vs 8+5 or 1 vs 8+5, but 7's pretty good. ^^

Speaking of which, I've already asked Krath about it; the rest of you in favor of simplifying the rules? It would mean some downtime while I worked on them but on the plus side combat would run faster and your movement skills would be worth a little more than they are now. ^^; I'm not going to do it until after this mission is complete because a boss battle is, um, not the optimal time to be learning new combat rules. Anyway I have two ideas, I'll list them here and you can say yay/nay, suggest other options, etc.

1. Move to the d10 system. Probably the easier change.
2. Simplify combat to (attacker roll+accuracy bonuses - defender roll+evasion/movement bonuses = result+attacker damage bonuses - defender defense bonuses = damage.) This would help out everyone, pretty much. Darvi and Dwarmin would get a slight bonus to evading attacks, for example, and while Ahra would be slightly easier to land blows on he would be REALLY hard to hurt because of all of his armor. I'd probably change it though where enemies used different dice based on how STRONG they were.

In either case I'm probably going to change leveling to something a little less random, which I'm sure is frustrating you guys a bit. Probably make it when the total amount of enemies killed - quick note, who gets the kill doesn't matter, it would help all eight party members - passes a certain amount, everyone gets a skill. When certain milestones are reached, everyone gets a class-up. Lampshade would simply be that as Dracula's forces weaken the forces of good get stronger. :3 Anyway, I'm also going to try to add more combat tactics for you guys to try and pull off, like disarming, disabling, backstabbing, so forth... although enemies could try it too...

You're doing this just so I can't get my second class up aren't ya.

[Taricus]

That sounds good. Just buff up the enemies though.

[SeriousConcentrate]

@Darvi: Nah, I was probably going to just set you and everyone else at their second class level, including new entries.

@Taricus: Well, yeah. It'll be the third mission next, which will most likely be gaining actual entrance into the castle. Enemies will be harder for sure.

[Dwarmin]

Wahaha! SeriousConcentrate forgot my -2 damage reduction again!

Give that's close to 15% of Friar Greenmoores health there...

Also, now that I know he's just going to beat on my ass.

Tactical roll-Retreat from direct melee range of the giant armor that's very slow-get around to his FLANK.
Edit: Unless it's impossible and he's still in the doorway...then just retreat.

[SeriousConcentrate]

I'm going to blame the slightly-burnt coffee for that mistake while I go fix it.

[Dwarmin]

I'm going to blame the slightly-burnt coffee for that mistake while I go fix it.

Indeed. I blame you for burning the coffee, as well.

[SeriousConcentrate]

D: Oh come on, I had to put the dog out.

[Darvi]

"Greenmore! Over here!"

[IronyOwl]

Keep slashing! Wall him in!

Alright, I guess.

Sounds better, I suppose.

Aw, I like the random leveling. Feels more special than just "kill enemies, receive levels."

When certain milestones are reached, everyone gets a class-up. Lampshade would simply be that as Dracula's forces weaken the forces of good get stronger. :3

Hrm. Would make the most sense as after every boss, but that'd sort of limit how powerful they could be, since they'd likely be more common. I think I like after every boss most, then when a certain number of 8s is rolled, then some arbitrary milestone the least.

Anyway, I'm also going to try to add more combat tactics for you guys to try and pull off, like disarming, disabling, backstabbing, so forth... although enemies could try it too...

Sounds nice. If nothing else, though, you could just let us try whatever and decide what it does and how likely it succeeds on the spot.
