DOTH ART WELCOMED TO THE MEDIEVAL FODDER, LAD!In Medieval Fodder, all you have is DESIRE TO SLAUGHTER!
For the glory of the Empire! Or Republic! Or the Union! Or whatever you're fighting for.
It is RTD which has basically only
two rolls:
Hit roll, and damage roll.
Damage roll depends entirely on the weapon.
Hit roll (1d6) is more complicated:
The person who wins the roll deals damage to the player who lost the roll.
The roll, however, is modified by actions. Each player can ATTACK or DEFEND in his turn.
DEFEND'ing player doesn't retaliate in the same turn.
DEFEND'ing player gets +1 against ATTACK'ing player, but only if ATTACK'ers roll is higher.
Shields give a bonus to DEFEND'ing player just as if above rule is applied.
Shields benefit the ATTACK'ing player, with a -1 modifier.
WATCH OUT, because the defend/shield bonus will only equalize the rolls - you will never get higher roll than attacker.
The maximum of the Parry bonus is +4; if you rolled a 1 against a 6, sorry - better luck next life!
Example:
Hargh rolls a hit of 6. Phargh rolls a 3.
But, Phargh DEFENDS (+1) and is wielding a Small Shield (+2).
Thus, both rolled a '6', and the whole melee ends with few clanks instead of a gush of blood and pain-filled screaming.
In case of operating a wheel or doing something, a standard 1d6 roll will be applied as well.
