• Each class offered by the expedition NPCs offers the opportunity to improve one or more skills. During this portion/chapter of our campaign, I am ruling that our skill increases will differ slightly from the standard CoC rules. Normally, according to the CoC training rules, a character must take a class for 6 months to increase their skill by 1d10.
• For chapter 5 of this campaign: to gain a chance to increase one's skill, the character who's taking the class must have a skill level that is lower than that of the instructor
• For chapter 5 of this campaign: the first day of class has a chance to increase a character's skill. After that, a character must attend one week'’s worth of a particular lesson to have a chance to improve that skill(s). I’ll keep track of how many days you each have been to a particular lesson, so you can shift and mix classes day by day, if you'd like.
• If any of you want to run classes of your own, or help one of the NPCs to run theirs then I’ll find a suitable reward in place of the skill boosts. You just need to mention it to Moore, then chalk yourself up on the chalkboard that morning. (ie make a post or PM me).
• The classes only run for an hour or two each, so you can attend several in the same day if you want, or enjoy some free time. The same classes won’t be running every day, but each class will run several times.

• Head - minus 20% to hit, successful hit = chance to hit again, full damage = chance to stun
• Stomach - normal melee chance to hit, successful hit = chance to hit again
• Kidneys - normal melee chance to hit, successful hit = chance to hit again

Let me see. I like option 2 the best. For once i would like it to go quicker then 3 and still retain some good IC stuff.
Now... If i could suggest... and this is applicable to 3 a swell and make it my favorite
Make the mechanics be like this. Each player makes 3 rolls for melee compare them

Code: Select all

1      2      3
PC1: Success  Not   Not -attacking
PC2: Success  Success Not -defending

On the first its a draw on the second one of them hit in the third is a draw. The player gets to act out 3 moves playing one of the to hit and describe it.

Example: "Øyvind mesearued his openent taking two quick step towards PC2, going for the kidneys, punching two blows wich PC2 blocked, seeing the opening to the head punching him firmly over the ear"

Instead of making a hit of head be 20%, make all the first hits even, but if the player has tree hits (winning the 3 Success rollss) each hit make more dmg then the last. say dmg +1 for the second hit, and dmg +3 (+4 for head) for the third. First hit is normal dmg.

• If both players succeed in a compared attack roll, then that set is a draw and the successful attacks cancel each other, and no damage is done.
• If both players fail their attack rolls, then neither player made a successful attack and nothing happens.
• If one player succeeds and the other fails, then the successful player lands a punch on his/her opponent.

Here is a link to the google map

BTW, today I have a lot of raking of leaves to do in RL, so we'll see if I can carve out some time later today to write. Once I finish raking leaves, I may spend my time tonight adding detail to our "Key NPC's" topic in the reference section. That topic area needs some work (i.e. photos, descriptions, and links to previous activities) and I expect that it will prove very helpful to you folks in the coming months YEARS.

Job wrote:Hello Anatomist,

During our first round
Tommy missed his first punch, but Øyvind hit (roll of 43, under his fist/punch skill of 50%), so Øyvind's punch successfully landed.
Tommy hit on his second punch, and so did Øyvind, so they canceled each other out.
Tommy hit on his third punch, but Øyvind missed, so Tommy's punch successfully landed.

Therefore, Tommy and Øyvind each hit with one punch, a tie.
Here's my roll of 71 to see if I get to describe the round's action
You have to roll over a 71 on a d100 for you to describe the round. (I'm assuming you have to roll greater than me)
