) here for now….I'm using rolling initiative; so a new roll each round.
First up will be the 'Northern' Battle with Darryn, Gannis & Eduard (& Tom and Rory, NPCs). Here's the Initiative rolls:
Darryn: 3D (1d6 = 5; 1d6 = 1; 1d6 = 6); Total: 12
Gannis: 4D (1d6 = 2; 1d6 = 1; 1d6 = 6; 1d6 = 5); Total: 14
Eduard: 4D (1d6 = 1; 1d6 = 3; 1d6 = 2; 1d6 = 1); Total: 7
Tom & Rory: 3D (1d6 = 5; 1d6 = 6; 1d6 = 3); Total: 14
Enemy Archers: 3D (1d6 = 1; 1d6 = 3; 1d6 = 2); Total: 6
Enemy Spearmen: 3D (1d6 = 2; 1d6 = 3; 1d6 = 6); Total: 11
Final Order: Gannis and Tom & Rory at 14; then Darryn at 12; then the Spearmen at 11; then Eduard at 7; finally the Archers at 6.
Okay: Actions and Results:
-Gannis stands in a Defensive posture and PASSES (gaining +2B for his next action)
-Tom & Rory MOVE (lesser action) and get close to a group of 3 Enemy Archers; and the make a STANDARD ATTACK (lesser action) each against a different Archer.
Tom's attack: Fighting 3; plus Spears 1B: (1d6 = 3; 1d6 = 6; 1d6 = 4; 1d6 = 3); keeping the best 3 gives a Total: 13; vs. a combat defense of 7; he beat this by more than 5; so Damage is doubled from 3 to 6; the Soft Leather drops this by 1 to 5 damage and one of the Enemy Archers (henceforth: Archer 1) is badly wounded
Rory's attack: Fighting 3 (No Spears…he's a rookie); (1d6 = 2; 1d6 = 5; 1d6 = 1); Total: 8; this beats the Combat Defense of 7 by 1; so 3 Damage is dealt; minus 1 for Soft Leather Armor; and Enemy Archer 2 is lightly wounded.
-Darryn Drinkwater aims (+1B. Lesser Action); and then fires his Hunting Bow at Enemy Archer 3; he will roll a whopping 7 dice and keep the best 5: (1d6 = 3; 1d6 = 4; 1d6 = 1; 1d6 = 4; 1d6 = 3; 1d6 = 6; 1d6 = 1); Total: 20. This beats the Combat Defense by 13; meaning triple damage is scored. 8 points of Damage are dealt after the Armor reduces the 9 damage by 1 to 8; and Enemy Archer 3 falls prone; severely wounded.
-The 4 Enemy Spearmen make their attacks; two against Gannis and two against Eduard. The two against Gannis (Combat Defense w/Shield: 9) roll their 3 + 1 B dice: (1d6 = 5; 1d6 = 2; 1d6 = 4; 1d6 = 4); Keeping the best 3 equals 13; which beats the 9; dealing 3 damage but the hits aren't strong enough to pierce the armor
Two Spearmen make attacks against Eduard (Combat Defense 8) with 3D + 1B (1d6 = 1; 1d6 = 3; 1d6 = 1; 1d6 = 4); but their attacks likewise glance off armor or Eduard's Greatsword
-Eduard then makes an attack with his Greatsword (which is slow; so it cannot be used for a Divided Attack, which is one of two ways to attack multiple opponents in the same round….the other is Two-Weapon attack; which also doesn't apply…sorry!); hell be rolling 4D + 1B; and +1 for Castle-forged weapon; )1d6 = 1; 1d6 = 3; 1d6 = 5; 1d6 = 4; 1d6 = 6) for a total of 19; which is more than 10 greater than the Combat Defense of 6; dealing an ungodly 27 pts of damage; totally annihilating the spearmen)
-Finally; the enemy Archers go; and the two wounded ones shoot at Tom and Rory (Combat Defense 8); with rolls of 3D + 1B) for results of: (1d6 = 1; 1d6 = 6; 1d6 = 5; 1d6 = 2); total: 13; which is 5 more than the Defense of 8; doubling the damage to 6; which armor reduces to 2; so both Tom and Rory are lightly wounded.
The other group of 3 archers fire on Gannis (1) and Eduard (2); skills of 3D + 1B for a total of: (1d6 = 5; 1d6 = 6; 1d6 = 3; 1d6 = 4) 15; which is more than 5 over 8 (Eduard's Combat Defense) and 9 (Gannis's CD); so damage is doubled to 6; and reduced to 0 against Gannis and a single 1 pt against Eduard.
This seem to make sense to everyone? Did I screw anything up?
