"Apolyton Adventure/RPG Game" dicussion.

That's what I put.

# Armour helps prevent damage :
Armour value/ damage reduced by :
10 / 5
9 / 4
8 / 4
7 / 3
6 / 3
5 / 2
4 / 2
3 / 1
2 / 1
1 / 1
0 / 0
# Each hit reduces the armour by one, even if that hit was completely stopped by the armour.

Okay, sorry I must not have been playing close enough attention

[Jamski]

Who else would be interested in playing, helping or commenting? We could think about starting once the current Gladiators game is done.

[vovan]

Good ideas Jam. I'd be willing to join. No new ideas yet, but I may have some after a while, and then I'll be sure to share.

[Jon Miller]

why don't we just play second edition ADnD?

or Gurps?

[CapitanGarlic]

Because that's not original enough.

[Urban Ranger]

Because the idea is to create a deterministic system.

[Urban Ranger]

Jamski,

Any rules on multiple attackers? Say, for each additional attacker, the defender's Skill suffers a -1 penalty, possibly with like a -3 max?

Does each character pick out an opponent and send you the combat orders? If so, is there time for coordination?

[Jamski]

I posted the multiple attackers rules. They get to combine their skill scores, but still only score one hit.

I thought one "team" would post their orders, I would post the results and then the other "team" would post thiers.

Levels, skills and DICE ROLLING are all too much for a simple forum game.

[Urban Ranger]

Oh, sorry, I didn't see it

Any maximum bonuses etc.? One obvious abuse I can think of is to make a bunch of characters with very low skill but very high strength, and lots of armour. Then stack them together and move them as one group. You can kill anybody easily this way.

[Jamski]

Yeah, but then the whole bunch would only be able to make one attack...

Hmmm...

Maybe have the second attacker adds thier skill, the third 1/2 thier skill and all others just +1 skill?

[Urban Ranger]

Several more questions:

1. How is experience handled?
2. How does a character gets back stats (e.g. Magic and Toughness)?

[Jamski]

1. How is experience handled?

Its not yet.

2. How does a character gets back stats (e.g. Magic and Toughness)?

By resting, or by drinking a potion (found in game?)

[duke o' york]

Are you thinking of having a cure spell? Or a resuscitation spell, in case alva decides to take rah's head off on the very first move?

They'd have to have a heavy magic cost, so it would be a big choice to use it. Then there could be all kinds of fun as people worked out who their real friends were.

[Jamski]

Of course. Each team would be wise to have someone swopping magic points for thier friend's health points.
