Here's a major rule in 2d6 Sword & Sorcery that may be overlooked. It's an important one and makes those Rep 7+ guys, not as Bad A$$ as one would believe.
Page 11 bullet point 3.
• [i]If fighting more than one figure all figures roll at the same time and the defender applies his scores to all of the attackers.[/i]
Here's what that means...
I will be bringing this rule into all my THW games when it comes to melee.
Maybe I should have had my band stick around and fight the Mushroom Man the other day...
ReplyDeleteWhat I see in this, is that it brings about balance! Sure, the Rep 7 can be taken down, but look at the cost...the Rep 7 still tied up 3 opponents and depending on the size of your game that in itself can be crucial tactically.
ReplyDeleteIn short, awesome rule addition!
Thanks,
Brian
I have to agree. Wish I could claim that I gave it much deliberation before writing it. Actually was looking for a shortcut! LOL

ReplyDeleteWTF? Saw the comment and then it disappeared can you re-post as it was a good point.
DeleteI can't remember exactly what I wrote, but I think it was about how this addition would be very useful in dealing with high Rep characters in WHAA. We had problems running the game as written when a character got above Rep6. This rule would be a great way to fix that problem.
DeleteYes, I essentially have that comment in my inbox from you, I can post it again if you like?
DeleteThanks,
Brian
Thanks, Brian. Yes, please post it again.
