But anyway, Jeff, this is what I would have loved to have seen in the book. Obviously with the correct flow of dice during an exchange. Maybe I am just reading too much into it, but as you should be able to tell, I am still a tad lost as to when to roll, and what dice are retained from what rolls to get each score...
Can you HBO (Help a Brother Out) ?

This is perfect! Listen, the each die roll has a dual purpose thing was meant to speed things along ... if it's confusing or hard to get used to then there's no reason a play group can't opt to roll separately for things ... the intent is:
ReplyDelete1] initiative roll
used to find turn order, number of actions and movement in squares
2] action roll
used to hit a target in combat and determine damage
3] reaction roll
used to evade a hit against you and to soak damage done to you from a successful hit
Although I am trying not to change anything in the current HiLo ... I am going to be changing some terms and trying to clean up and make clarifications.
Your input helps me very much!
Thanks!!
Jeff
Jeff, I think I may have identified a mental block I had to hurdle. For example, "(Potential Damage is based upon the original Attack Roll; an additional roll of the dice is not made)"
ReplyDeleteThat thru me! When it boils down to three contested rolls total, assuming a successful hit, for a combat exchange, stating not to roll is not intuitive for me, when most games only tell you when to roll. I do not know if I would have gleaned the same without that verbiage, but I have identified it as a, "Hmmm, am I getting this right?" moment.
HiLo Heroes Rocks!
