A proposed change to DQ combat to introduce rolling against your defence instead of subtracting it from SC. And other tweaks and changes bundled with it.
Opposed Rolling
Quality of Rolls
- Current Rules
- Fumble (99-100), Fail, Success, Endurance (15%), Spec Grev (5%)
- Proposed
- Fumble (> 90 + weapon rank), Fail, A Success, B Success (40%), C Success (20%), D Success (10%), E Success (10% of BC - 100), F Success (10% of BC - 200)
Charts are available to make it easier to look up the quality of result based on a dice roll and BC, it is recommended that players have the dice roll required for B-F for their main weapons pre-calculated on the character sheet.
- Reasons/rationale for change
- To get more variety in the results of the opposed rolls and have it less binary, additional levels of success are required.
- Change from 5/15 to 10/20 is because the numbers are easier to estimate on the fly.
- E & F introduced as an additional benefit for excellence.
Qualities of Defence
- Current Rules
- Defence is a modifier to Strike Chance.
- Proposed
- The defence is a roll that is made using the defence of the character as the Base Chance.
- An equal quality defence stops an attack
- A successful but lower quality defence reduces the quality of an attack
- A successful and higher quality defence may result in a riposte.
- Proposed Tabular results
| Attack Cols Defence Rows |
Fumble/Fail | A | B | C | D | E | F |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fumble/Fail | Miss | A Success | B Success | C Success | D Success | E Success | F Success |
| A | Miss | Miss | A Success | B Success | C Success | D Success | E Success |
| B | Miss | Miss | Miss | A Success | B Success | C Success | D Success |
| C | Miss | Miss | Miss | Miss | A Success | B Success | C Success |
| D | Miss | Miss | Miss | Miss | Miss | A Success | B Success |
| E | Riposte 1 | Miss | Miss | Miss | Miss | Miss | A Success |
| F | Riposte 2 | Riposte 1 | Miss | Miss | Miss | Miss | Miss |
- Proposed numerical resolution
- Attack gives a result from 0 - 6, Defence gives a result from 0 - 6. Subtract Defence from attack to get a numerical result.
- Positive is some level of hit (refer results below)
- 0 is a 'miss'
- a negative number is a 'miss'. Unless the defender is evading, in that case, remove the negative and treat the result as a level of hit back against the attacker.
Results
Fumble
A critical fail.
- Current Rules
- A fumble is 'resisted' by rolling under your engaged IV with the weapon. Results are determined by rolling on the fumble table.
- Proposed
- The recipient of the fumble chooses one of these results:
- Costs 3 FT to recover from the fumble
- Weapon becomes un-prepared/dropped.
- Weapon is damaged (-1 damage mod.) - requires Weaponsmith/Magic to repair. For a defensive fumble, Shield -3% Def or Armour -1 AP.
Miss
A Success (1)
No change from current 'Fatigue Hit'.
B Success (2)
- Current
- Non-existent.
- Proposal 1
- 'Fatigue Hit' with the damage increased by 5 or 10
- Proposal 2
- 'Fatigue Hit' with the first damage dice automatically being 10
- Proposal 3
- Standard damage, normal armour protection applies, any damage in excess of AP is deducted from Endurance instead of Fatigue.
C Success (3)
No change from current 'Endurance Hit'
D Success (4)
- Current
- 'Spec. Grev.'
- Proposal 1
- 'Endurance Hit' with the damage increased by 5 or 10 and potential 'Spec. Grev.'
- Proposal 2
- 'Endurance Hit' with the first damage dice automatically being 10 and potential 'Spec. Grev.'
- Proposal 3
- No change from current potential 'Spec. Grev.'
E Success (5)
- Current
- Non-existent.
- Proposal 1
- As per 4 but no EN Armour.
- Proposal 2
- As per 4 but no EN Armour.
- Proposal 3
- Guaranteed Spec Grev - as per Spec Grev except that you roll on the Spec Grev chart until you get a valid result for your weapon class.
F Success (6)
- Current
- Non-existent.
- Proposal 1
- Maximum EN damage, no EN Armour, and potential 'Spec. Grev.'
- Proposal 2
- Maximum EN damage, no EN Armour, and potential 'Spec. Grev.'
- Proposal 3
- Guaranteed Spec Grev as above, with the first damage dice automatically being 10
Riposte
- Current
- A miss by more than 30% against an evading opponent, D + Defenders Weapon Rank - Attackers Weapon Rank, etc.
- Proposal 1
- Riposte 1 from the chart above is an A Success result back against the attacker.
- Riposte 2 from the chart above is a B Success result back against the attacker.
- Proposal 3
- If the defender is evading, a negative number is treated as that level of hit back against the attacker.
Bleeders
- Current
- Only some specific Spec Grev results cause bleeders.
- Proposed
- Results 3-6 (C - F) also cause bleeders
Armour Damage
- Current
- Potential Spec Grev results damage armour and reduce Protection by 2.
- Proposed
- Results 3-6 (C - F) also cause armour damage. C -1 AP, D -2 AP, E -3 AP, F -4 AP.
Defence Calculation
- Current
- Magic + AG + Shield (+ Warrior)
- Proposed
Front hexes: AG + PC + Shield bonus + Magical Defence. (Greater Enchantment is NOT applied.)
Rear hexes: AG + Magical Defence. (Greater Enchantment and shield are NOT applied.)
Side hexes: count as Front hex on shield side, and Rear hexes on off-shield side.
Shield
- Rank zero bonus = 5 x the listed book value.
- The Maximum Rank of Shield is increased to 5.
Evade
- Current
- Add 10% + 4 * weapon rank to defence vs melee. +20% to defence vs ranged.
- Proposed
- Increase defence vs melee by another 40%. I.e. 50% + 4 * weapon rank to defence vs melee.

| Foot | Any, although GMs might exclude dagger and shield | 2 x MD or trip and fall prone | 1 x MD or trip and fall prone |
