| − | ==How it works==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Initiative==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Initiative (who will attack first) will be computed at the start of every round and will depend on the reach attribute of each character’s weapon. A character using a weapon with a longer reach than his/her opponent will have better odds of gaining the initiative. If the weapons have the same reach, each character has a equal chance of gaining the initiative.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Initiative = f( Attacker Weapon Length, Defender Weapon Length )
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Consecutive Hits==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Range 1-3. Consecutive hits are Negatively affected by the attacking character’s weapon weight and weapon length, and
| + | |
| − | positively affected by the attacking character’s Strength and Energy.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Consecutive attacks number = f( Weapon Length (Reach), Strength, Energy )
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Energy consumption===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Energy is very important in battle; The energy consumed for each hit will depend on:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Weapon weight | + | |
| − | * War encumbrance
| + | |
| − | * Strength
| + | |
| − | * Constitution
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Energy depleted for each hit = f( Weapon Weight, War Encumbrance, Strength )
| + | |
| − | Energy restored for each hit = f( Constitution )
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Hit and Miss Chance==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Logic to hit or miss depends on the attacker and defender Dexterity.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | hit percentage = f( Attacker Dexterity, Defender Dexterity )
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Note: If a character is stunned the attacker has a 100% chance to hit the opponent.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Damage==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Damage complete formula===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Dealt damage depends from the following factors:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Weapon Damage | + | |
| − | * Weapon Condition
| + | |
| − | * Strength
| + | |
| − | * Energy
| + | |
| − | * Defender AC
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====The Base Damage====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Base Damage = f ( Weapon Damage, Weapon Condition, Strength, Energy) + Strength / 6
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Base Damage is randomly selected within the range of damage values for the equipped weapon. With a Strength value of 10, an energy value of 50%, and a weapon condition of 50%, the damage will be randomly selected using a Normal (Gaussian) distribution centered on the mean of the weapon’s damage range. Thus, if the range is 1-7, a 4 will have the best odds of being rolled and a 1 and a 7 would have the worst odds of being rolled.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * With increasing Strength, Energy and Weapon Condition, the distribution is skewed more toward the maximum of the range.
| + | |
| − | * With decreasing Strength, Energy and Weapon Condition, the distribution is skewed more toward the minimum of the range.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Base Damage is then partitioned in Blunt Damage and Cutting Damage accordingly to the weapon Cutting Damage/Blunt Damage.For example if the Base Damage with a fauchard is 10, Bluntdamage will be 5 and Cutting Damage 5. Check [[Weapons|Weapons Table]] for useful data.
