The cultist took 13 damage with the backstab not 9
Re: DRAGON AGE:TANGLED WEB OOC THREAD(Recruitment Closed)
His AR is 4, so it was taken off.
To let everyone in on this;The type of Armor(or lack thereof) that you wear has something on it called Armor Rating,which,depending on the number listed,works as a deductible for the Damage on an Attack or Spell(it's explained better in the Combat Section of the Corebook and the Free Pdf i left in the beginning of this thread).
For example ; a Cultist strikes at Nevin with a dagger,manages to get over his Defense and does 5 points of Damage.With the Rock Armor spell active,Nevin would only take 1 damage from it,as the spell gives him an AR of 4 (5-4=1 getting through).

Interesting way to go about it.

Yes it is,as the System gives you a large amout of Health(The Mage class is the lowest with 20+Constitution number) but only uses Dexterity+10+Shield(if you can use it correctly) for Defense.The AR deductible for damage is a nice balancing touch, imo.

I think it makes an odd bit of sense. Like when you get hit by a sword, sometimes it catches on your buckler to know effect, buy sometimes it hits strong enough you can *feel* it through the shield... As your arm is being cut off, that is.

Re: DRAGON AGE:TANGLED WEB OOC THREAD(Recruitment Closed)
I like how they tried to make the system different than a standard D&D rip-off.Yeah,Dex is WAY overpowered in the DA version and Magic is only useful to Mages in it(save as a slight defense against magical stuff),but it's balanced just enough to work.Pramas refined and adjusted it for the Fantasy AGE/Titansgrave books,so i'd recommend trying to find both in free pdf(i have the hardcopies) and seeing the Difference,as the generic setting he uses for the base book leaves some nice elbow room...Doctor Malsyn wrote: ↑Fri Aug 17, 2018 6:53 pm I think it makes an odd bit of sense.

It's a basic ranged attack,you don't even use mp for it.It's got a 16 yard range and does 1D6+Magic for the damage,but you still need to connect to the target...

That's what I meant. As a basic ranged attack, that'd be... Dex then?

Yep.Plus any focuses you have in it will give a +2 to the roll,which is a big deal in this system..Doctor Malsyn wrote: ↑Sat Aug 18, 2018 10:45 pm That's what I meant. As a basic ranged attack, that'd be... Dex then?
