ChopBam Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Would Retal normally be given a chance to select a ready stance before you start resolving Voe's attack? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, since he was disarmed, he can't do any action. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERTi60 Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 So this is the result for Turn1: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERTi60 Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 And before Retaliation gets recovered from disarming, @Voe may start attacking again for Turn 2, he can change the Stance, decide to keep or remove the Disarming Slash or choose to cast a Force Action. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERTi60 Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Normally this turn Retaliation would be attacking but since Voe disarmed him it's still @Voe 's turn. Also, notice how Stamina is depleted even though you are just defending. You have to thus think ahead and calculate what would happen if you run out of Stamina on your Defense turn for example, and then have none on your Attack turn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERTi60 Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Now we have an interesting situation after the rolls, and I have highlighted Voe's Attack green with Retaliation's Defense. If the Attack isn't greater than the Defense, then the attack automatically fails (there's no damage). Furthermore, Retaliation can also counterattack during successful Defense, since he has an attack value and voe has no defensive value (marked as red). Can you guess the outcome? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERTi60 Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Spoiler In more advanced Forms, you will be able to disarm an opponent for more turns or even decapitate them straight away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERTi60 Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 And this is the result for Turn 2. Didn't work well for voe this time, but he still has the edge. Problem is, he's running out of Stamina. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voe Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Question: does counterattack happen always or only on a complete block? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERTi60 Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Turn 3 started, and it's @Retaliation's turn! Voe has no defense whatsoever, so this turn can also "turn the tide?". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if the attack fails, and no damage is dealt. I made this condition so that players would be motivated to go for offense instead of just doing balanced all the time, where there would be always chance to counter back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retaliation Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 ##Offensive ##Enlarge Force ##Shii-Cho Ward 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERTi60 Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Since Retaliation cast a Combat Force action, let's resolve that first. Depending on your roll, ##Enlarge Force will give the user that much amount of HP, FP (-1 the casting value) and Stamina. Notice that in case of Combat Force Actions, you can go overload your original values, but only if it doesn't say/determine the max. Note: Overload values go back to normal after battle though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERTi60 Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 You may wonder what ##Shii-Cho Ward does. Unlike ##Disarming Slash, it doesn't have any Critical Bonus. However, it does have a passive bonus: It reduces the damage done to its user by the current Dice Roll. Those darn constitutionists and their health bonuses! :D 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERTi60 Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Turn 3 Result: As you can see it doesn't look good for voe anymore! He used all of his stamina and is almost dead, all because of Retaliation's well-planned attack and pretty decent roll during his attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shade939 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Shouldn't Voe have gotten a chance to change his stance for turn 3 also, after Retal? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only do stuff when you're attacking, that was established. This is because the gameplay is faster if we don't have to wait twice as much for a player to react, and also it gives a bit strategic value to the Duel, as in, you need to plan ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reduces chance of counter attack and your enemy is going to be so low that attacking back effectively will be hard. Voe's problem is he overextended his stamina so that I have an opening to attack back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERTi60 Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Let's move on to Turn 4: Let's look at voe's situation. He's attacking, but no Stamina left. (Note that you never go to negative value) If you don't have enough Stamina for your last Maneuver, it will get removed automatically, and if you don't even have Stamina for your last Ready Stance, you will be switched to "Center of Being" Stance, which is a meditative State where you can't attack nor defend, in order to replenish Stamina by 30. It's sometimes crucial to calculate when you get to this state, as if you are low on health you are risking defeat. However, not all is lost! @Voecan choose if he wants to use his Force Combat Action, or proceed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
