Re: (TFT) Combined Offensive/Defensive Action

["Edward Kroeten" <ekroeten@farmersagent.com>]

Why not just a straight DX adjustment.



 Example Milo ST 12 DX 13 IQ 8 Broadsword 2 D damage is fighting.  He uses 3DX
to defend reducing Milo's adjDX to 10 the 3 points he uses reduce his
opponents DX by 3, this seems to simulate reality in that a better fighter can
still fight defensively and land a blow.



 When I was in fencing and stick fighting this was a tactic I used quite a bit
letting my opponent attack parrying and then hit him.  You could even have the
defending person go second for attacks no matter what the adjDx says.

       I see. If they fail, it's 3D6 and they get no action?

       The fatigue ST raides/lowered the dice in the attack.

       So Milo ST12 DX12 IQ8 could, say, allocate 6Dx to attack and 6 to
defense.
       Any attack made on him would be at 5D6 (because 3 points equals 1 die
       here). And he could burn 2ST to lower his attack to 1D6 vs DX (modified
by
       whatever his opponent is doing, of course), because rolling a 6 on 3D6
is
       rough. He might then burn another couple ST if he hits to raise that
       broadsword to 4D6. Or he could just use any of 6, 1D6+3 (avg. 6.5, low
4,
       high 9), 2D6 (avg. 7, low 2, high 12), 3D6-3 (avg. 7.5, low 0, high
15),
       4D6-6 (avg. 8, low 0, high 18).

       Let's say the other guy is a mirror image. If he decides to put
everything
       into defense, Milo is back to doing 5D6 vs 6DX. Not too good, and
he'll
       lose 2 ST doing it. Sure, the other guy isn't going to hit, either,
but
       old Milo is now down 2 ST compared to his opponent.
