Quote from: For Mass Combat OOC: COMBAT RULES:

1. Each combat round will be 1/4 hour. Roll 1d3 to determine number of opponents around the character for that round. This number will change every round giving the feel that enemies are constantly moving about the character - some may attack, some may not. This allows the characters to interact and also be wounded, as they might be in battle. The kills will count in the main melee and for XP, but it is also there to give the character a bit of bragging rights. I may introduce a captain or lieutenant or some other semi-major NPC that steps up to fight you. If that happens, I will let you know. In this case, we would revert to standard combat for your character.

2. Enemies will roll 2d6 per attacker and will hit on each die result of 1 or 2 for 2d6+3 damage minus any armor protection

3. The number of Enemy attackers above does not imply that that is all of the soldiers the character may attack on his turn. It implies that in the fray of combat, that is how many attackers took a swing at the character.

4. Characters then may roll 3d6 per round and will kill one enemy soldier per die based on the results of each die roll and their current Health/Weariness (consult the chart below)

Healthy/Hale: 1-5
Dazed/Winded: 1-4
Injured/Tired: 1-3
Wounded/Weary: 1-2
Incapacitated/Spent: 1
Near Death: Cannot combat For the Hardy Edge:
Healthy/Hale: 1-5
Dazed/Winded: 1-5
Wounded/Weary: 1-4
Injured/Tired: 1-3
Incapacitated/Spent: 1-2
Near Death: 1 ... at this level he is Near Death but still swinging his axe. He literally would go down fighting

5. The characters will skirmish one time for each Battle round and must make a Weariness Test TN 10 at the end of the attack. Skirmishes are considered simultaneous combat in regards to results. If a character wishes to get out of the heat of battle, you must announce it and I will then determine what it takes for him to retreat.

MODIFIERS (all that apply will be illustrated here and included in stats below)
Terrain effects by area:
Woods - cause a -5 to movement and reduce Ranged Combat modifier to 0
Light Fortification - units within gain a +2 to Toughness and +3 to Ranged Combat and Support
Mud- units combating within have a -2 penalty to movement and -1 to Command
Dark - all units suffer -2 to any actions due to darkness, except Orc units

The last three rafts bumped up against the many wooden rafts already beached, and the leader of the Gibbet King's attacking host marches his remaining warriors to the embankment.

sdrotar · Jul 31, 2014, 06:27 AM

The wild man was surrounded by Dirnhael's company; he was terribly strong and dangerous.
Seizing the advantage, the knight swung Vorandur once more, the enchanted blade whistling through the night sky as it sought its target.

Dirnhael has Swift Strike (2), granting him three attacks per round, and one extra action that can be used to Evade, Dodge or Parry. He'll use all three attacks in an effort to cut the berserker down quickly, before reinforcements arrive for the enemy.

Attack 1:

Rolled 2d6+19 : 4, 2 + 19, total 25

Damage (if successful):

Rolled 2d6+7 : 5, 2 + 7, total 14

Attack 2:

Rolled 2d6+19 : 6, 5 + 19, total 30

Damage (if successful):

Rolled 2d6+7 : 1, 6 + 7, total 14

Attack 3:

Rolled 2d6+19 : 6, 3 + 19, total 28

Damage (if successful):

Rolled 2d6+7 : 6, 5 + 7, total 18

Next Round Initiative (Winded -1):

Rolled 2d6+4 : 5, 3 + 4, total 12

Actually, you can get in as many as 4 attacks, if you want - your defense rolls would have multiple action penalties (MAP), but you can hit that many times if you choose.

Also, Shawn, you forgot to include your weariness and darkness penalties. I adjusted each TN to parry:

Berserker 3 attempts to parry:
TN 22 Armed clubs (mattock) +19 (2d6+6), +2 specialty, -2 darkness

action 1 2d6+19 : 2, 1 + 19, total 22

TN 27 Armed clubs (mattock) +19 (2d6+6), +2 specialty, -2 darkness

action 2 2d6+19 : 4, 4 + 19, total 27

TN 25 Armed clubs (mattock) +19 (2d6+6), +2 specialty, -2 darkness

action 3 2d6+19 : 1, 5 + 19, total 25

tomcat · Jul 31, 2014, 04:29 PM

Jeez! Look at those rolls!

Using the haft of his mattock, the wild man intercepted each of Dirnhael's attacks.

Between this and the Star Wars game, I hate your dice roller soooooo much.

Telcontar · Aug 02, 2014, 09:27 AM

:ooc:yes! I have been saying for years the dice roller is rigged!

tomcat · Aug 03, 2014, 09:37 PM

Yep, you guys figured me out! I spend all this time building this site and finding mods to make sure there is total convenience for RP'ing over the net - only to rig the dice roller so that it works just in my favor. Took 11 years, but my secret's revealed!

I guess you guys are waiting on me here, huh?

Fengel actions:

Berserker 3 takes damage from Fengel:

14+14+13+15=56 -16(4 armor per hit)=40 damage - or - 71/66 DEAD

Dirnhael watched in surprise as the wild man's mattock came up to meet each of his attacks. The knight had the pleasure of seeing Vorandúr hack into the wooden haft and he hoped the weapon would soon be rendered useless. It would be to no avail, though, for as the man defended against Dirnhael, once more Fengel moved in from his flank and his own sword cut cleanly four times.

The Éothraim warrior swiped once low cutting into the back of the berserker's knee sawing through tendon and bone. The effect was as he desired, for the larger man began to fall all the while trying to ward off Fengel's barrage of attacks. Cerduil -sword of the fallen Angbor - slashed three more times into torso, arm, and neck. Each time its masterworked edge cut through the scale mail that the wild man wore. The terrible gurgling sound that came from the berserker foretold of his doom, as Cerduil passed through his throat. Fengel looked to Dirnhael with a grim smile, "That's one!"

To the north, Durgil faced off alone against another of the fierce warriors. He cautiously slashed with his sword but was parried. He needed time to size up his opponent and for his soldiers to overrun the river bank landing.

GandalfOfBorg · Aug 04, 2014, 11:01 AM

Durgil felt the tide was turning but the Free Men's defenses could still be overwhelmed upon seeing the beaches to the south of his position swell with the enemy. He gave a call to his men to have both units finish off the remaining orc unit. It was getting difficult to concentrate fighting this beast of a man.

Command: Attack - 2d6+9 : 1, 2 + 9, total 12

Stefan · Aug 07, 2014, 09:20 AM

Nain watched the huge man fall to the ground with a momentary hint of sadness that he did not get another change to lay his own blow. His melancholy was short lived though as the orcs and wild men churned about him with their own axes and swords.

Round 6

Number of Nain's Enemies in melee (1d3):

Roll(1d3)+0:3,+0 Total:3

Enemy hits on Nain (2d6 each; hit on 1 and 2):

Enemy 1: Roll(2d6)+0:1,5,+0 Total:6 - one

Enemy 2: Roll(2d6)+0:2,6,+0 Total:8 - one

Enemy 3: Roll(2d6)+0:4,1,+0 Total:5 - one

Enemy damage to Nain (2d6+3 each; subtract 7 for Nain's chainmail Armor absorption = 2d6-4):

Enemy 1: Roll(2d6)+-4:6,1,-4 Total:3

Enemy 2: Roll(2d6)+-4:3,5,-4 Total:4

Enemy 3: Roll(2d6)+-4:5,2,-4 Total:3

Enemy kills by Nain (3d6; kill on 1-5; Healthy/Hardy edge):

Roll(3d6)+0:5,2,1,+0 Total:8

Nain kills 3 Enemies

Nain's Weariness Test (TN10; 2d6, Stamina +4, Hardiness of Body +2 = 2d6+6):

Roll(2d6)+4:2,2,+4 Total:8 - Fail

With the 11 pts that he took in rd 3 this puts Nain's new condition is Dazed and Winded -21/102
