Rules

Opposed Rolling Combat

Trialling a variation of the Opposed Rolling as follows.

Attacking

Weapon SC Calculation is unchanged but rather than subtracting defence from SC, a roll is made against both and the quality of defence is subtracted from the quality of attack to find the outcome.

Qualities of result are

Miss/Fail - rolling above the %chance or rolling 100

1 - rolling <= %chance

2 - rolling <= 40% of %chance

3 - rolling <= 20% of %chance

4 - rolling <= 10% of %chance

5 - rolling <= 10% of (%chance - 100)

6 - rolling <= 10% of (%chance - 200)

Fumble - in addition to the above, a roll above 90+rank of weapon is also a Fumble.

Outcomes

1 - Standard FT Hit

2 - Max Damage FT Hit (the first damage dice is automatically 10)

3 - Standard EN Hit

4 - Standard SG Result

5 - Max Damage SG Result (the first damage dice is automatically 10)

6 - Max Damage + Guaranteed SG Result (roll until a valid SG result for the weapon is achieved)

Defence

Defence is higher, adding PC to your base defence and approximately doubling the benefit of shields. Not currently playing the increased evade and withdraw defence.

Base Defence

AG + PC + Magic

Shields

Shield max rank increases from 4 to 5, for the purposes of the play test increase your shield rank by 1.

Defence provided is (5 + rank) * Base Defence of Shield (i.e. 2 for Main-Gauche & Buckler through to 6 for Tower).

Initiative

No more engaged vs unengaged, everybody acts on an integrated IV value.

Integrated IV

AG + PC + (2 x rank of Party MilSci) + Activity IV

Activity IV is one of

• WeaponRank + Warrior for most combat actions
• Half (Spell or talent rank) for most magical actions (excludes Triggering)
• Applicable Skill rank is there is one for other actions
• D10

Riposte

If you are Evading and the quality of your evade is greater than the quality of attack the inverted result is applied against the attacker. I.e Attack Result 1 - Evade result 3 = -2. This is applied as a 2 (max FT) result on the attacker by the defender.

Ranged Aim

+20% SC as usual but -5 dice roll modifier instead of 5% extra EN & SG chance.
