The Broken Tower - Gameplay

Vasana, give me an INT roll

It’s likely part of the herd you are supposed to save.

OK, so let's dig into combat!

First up, I want everyone to give me a statement of intent. Keep in mind your character sheet details things that you might do in combat to make the most of your abilities

Yes, you can command your companions.

We'll assume you get within charging range before combat commences.

While Makarios decides his action, (@awsmack ) let's look at strike ranks. They range from 1-12, 1 being fastest, 12 slowest

EDIT: I've had clarification on SR, so your weapon SR on your sheets already includes the necessary additions, so I will edit below accordingly. Sorry for the confusion, I'm learning too!

Nathem SR1 (for Dex only as using bow)
Cousin Monkey (sling?) Dex only SR2,9 Vishi SR4 for his lance
Vasana Has SR 5 for lance
Dazarim SR6
Rurik SR7
Molon SR7
SevaraSR 7
Lama SR 7



So that gives us an initiative order:
Nathem
cousin Monkey
Nathem 2nd shot
Vishi
Rock lizards (for first round they will be focussed on the bull)
Cousin monkey 2nd shot
Everyone else


Keep in mind, you can use a rune or passion as inspiration to influence your attack roll (this adds no additional SR). If you want to do that, roll against the influencer stat first.When making your attack roll, roll to attack 1d100 and roll for location hit 1d20. For those of you mounted location roll is 1d10+10 to account for your higher position.

OK, let's start with Nathem's first shot.

Vishi, you're up next on SR4. As you are charging, for the first round you use the damage bonus of your mount, so if you hit, that's 1D10+1+ 4d6 damage.

To break that down, the lizard has three points of armour and 5 HP in the head. 3 times the HP in one hit maims and incapacitated the limb and in the case of to the head, chest or abdomen means instant death, even if it doesn't bring the creature down to zero.
