Hi all,
In TFT, if you defend, the opponent rolls 4 dice. Triple damages
become impossible, (since you can’t roll a 3 on 4 dice), and the
chance of getting a double damage becomes almost impossible.
(Rolling a 5 (an automatic hit), is also very difficult on 4 dice.
The rules do NOT say that triples happen on 4 or 5, and double
damages happen on 6 or 7’s. (Normally, the chances of critical
successes and failures scale with the number of dice, but not
critical successes for defending or dodging.)
Now defending is a fine option against people with a 14 DX or less,
but for figures with very high DX, defending is a wasted action, you
defend (losing your action), and they will likely hit anyway.
My suggestion is that when you defend, 16 or higher rolls to hit you
STILL count as automatic misses.
The chance of a 16+ on 4 dice is, 33.56%
So if you defend, even against an opponent of very high DX, you
have about a 1/3 chance of getting an auto miss.
I was going to leave dropped weapons at 21 & 22, and broken
weapons at 23 & 24.
I am running a fight in my pbem game, and a bunch of the good guys
are defending vs. skilled opponents and I’m finding it is just a waste
of time.
Thoughts?
Warm regards, Rick
