Oh yeah, again, it occurs to me that I forgot to warn you about something.
If you're the kind of people who like to reply to a post by editing a previous one, I'm fine if you do so and I won't stop you, however, do keep in mind that I'm a big dummy and I will miss it... In fact, one of my past games died precisely because I was waiting for a reply that had been made as an edit.
So if you like editing your posts, please notify me either by posting here, PMing me, or telling me on the game's discord (link provided in my previous post).

@kalajel: Sorry, I am being a bit dense here and need some help working out the rules
I had a look in the rule book but I cannot find anything about M(edium) or H(eavy) damage. How does that affect her damage roll? Does it give an extra HD on the damage roll or something?
Also, I only saw a reference to the -1 penalty in the piece about Flurry of Blows, but not anywhere else. So am I correct in thinking she can attack twice/both fists (roll 1d6 twice with a -1 penalty only on the second roll)?
But if she also wished she could use Flurry of Blows as well (stack it), then she can attack twice with a -1 Penalty only on the second roll, and from the Flurry a -1 penalty on both rolls? So she'd attack with a 1d6-1 and a 1d6-2. That doesn't sound right as I would not get the extra damage. So I must be missing something.

Hmm, I think I see the confusion. Are you sure you are reading the non-D20 version of the rules. Remember, there are 2 versions for this game and we are using the D6 (non-D20) variant.
For Medium And Heavy weapons, it is explained on p.28, but if it's not clear, I can do a summary of the rules here.
Both M and H weapons inflict D6 damage, but M weapons represent separate smaller attacks, so each D6s are applied separately against the opponent's DR. H weapons represent a single powerful attack, so each D6s are added together as a single source of damage and as such the opponent's DR is applied only once.
As for the -1 penalty on the flurry of Blow, I see no such thing on the non-D20 version of the rules on p.21 (unless there was a change in the pdf since I printed them?).
Finally, if you wanted to Flurry and gain an Extra HD from your fist technically being a VL weapon (despite their ability to inflict L, M, and H damage), you'd apply the -1 penalty on all attacks.
Hope this helps.

Yes, I see that piece on page 28 (so I am using the correct rules I think. Yay!). It is talking about armed attacks, so I assumed it only counted if using a weapon, and Wayfarers can only use staves as weapons.
For the bit about -1 penalty, I read your change of the rules;
"When attacking with a very light weapon, a character gains an extra HD on his attacks, but if he or she chooses to use this extra attack, all of their attacks and saving throws this round take a -1 penalty."
As the Wayfarers unarmed combat is Very Light Weapon I thought it applied. Sorry, my bad!

Glump is essentially a body to occupy space until which time something kills him. I have no real motivation with the character. He's not the character I wanted to play.

Hi, I am going to resign from this game. Unfortunately, for me at least, since it went quite in this game I signed up to a couple of other games on GP. Also, RL is getting busy as we reach the end of summer. So I can no longer commit to posting on a regular basis, and best for everyone if I just drop out.
Thank you for the brief chance to try playing this System, it looks really interesting. Good luck with the game.

Hmm, that might be for the bast. Things are getting crazy in my life for at least the next month and a half, and I'm starting to doubt in my ability to continue running this game because of that...
I think the best thing to do right now is pull the plug on it. Perhaps I'll try again once things have calmed down in my life, but for now, I think I need to focus on other things.
