((You forgot to multiply my damage bonus by the light attack draig. Also I'm confused by agility. I have 3 points right? Why does it only say 2 in brackets?))

I did not. The angel's greatblade has D (C for Firstborn) scaling in Potency, precision, and Agility. The numbers in brackets are how much of that attribute is required by your current loadout. Only if an attribute exceeds what's required for equipment does it contribute to scaling. Your +24 damage is for the 1 point of agility not utilized by equipment.


Also, realized that the map-reading section got killed at some point. Added it back in to the book, but here it is for quick reference. Explains what the black lines actually mean.

Spoiler: Map Reading (click to show/hide)

During a combat, you’ll have relative freedom of motion, but there certainly better placed to be than others. While terrain might come in many fun colors for the sake of variety, there are four principal types of borders that indicate different types of terrain.

Difficult Terrain:  You can move through difficult terrain freely, but attacking is difficult. If you attack through difficult terrain, all attacks that pass the border have half range. In the case of melee weapons, this basically deletes all threat spaces at radius 2,4,6,etc, and pulls in the odd numbered ranks to compensate.
Untenable Terrain: If you’re inside a tile, or tiles, bordered by untenable terrain, you cannot make weapon attacks- but you can be attacked.
Dangerous Terrain: Moving inside dangerous terrain will make you victim to some environmental threat.
Impassable Terrain: Impassable terrain borders cannot be crossed, or attack through, from ‘spiked’ point. However, both can be done freely from the smooth side.

Goblin 3 takes: 169*0.9 = 152 damage. It is extremely dead.
Goblin 2 takes: 169*0.5*0.9 =76 damage. It is also dead.

The blade of an angel backed by the might of a man, a deadly combination against the fiercest of foes- and green skinned goblins are far from the fiercest of foes. With a single blow, one goblin is bisected cleanly, and another is mortally wounded as the blade liberates it of its arm.

I changed my mind about my action. It's a significant change so I'm making another post. I hope I formatted it right. I don't want there to be any confusion over what I'm trying to do.


After being stabbed by the spear, Götz's casual demeanor began to fade. He knew that the goblins poisoned their weapons. Had his confidence cost him his life?

Now wasn't the time to show weakness! They must not know the significance of their wound! Suddenly Götz's eyes began to glow white, and the dull steel of his angelic blade began to brighten!

Once more he lifted it, preparing to strike. This time it seemed lighter...

[Draignean]

Do we have rules for shoving still? If so, what are they?

Shoves have been replaced with knockback spaces and some special abilities. Ordinarily, you can occupy any unit's tile during a round, but at the end of the round both individuals get punted to random, open, adjacent tiles.

It is entirely possible, whether through standard movement, knockbacks, or weapon movement, to end up in the same tile as an enemy. During a round, this is disregarded, however, at the end of the round, both units will be bumped to a random adjacent and open tile.

Turn was almost done when I realized I did HeyDude a bit of disservice. Orc Veterans have a max health pool of 400, not 200, and I didn't adjust that when I was copy pasting enemies in. I will reward you with extra essence at the end of the encounter, and I'm sorry for bruising the crap out Gotz' leg as a result.

Also realized Will's second ability is still using old numbers. I'll fix it by the end of the day.

Gotes uses Horizon slash, SW, striking goblin 1, Orc 1, Orc 2, Orc 3, and the Orc Veteran.
Goblin 1 takes

Orc 1 takes
169*1.5*0.85 = 215 damage. It is dead.
Orc 2 takes
169*1.5*0.85 = 215 damage. It is dead.
Orc 3 takes
169*1.5*0.85 = 215 damage. It is dead.
Orc Veteran takes
169*1.5*0.8 = 202 damage.

A flash of sunlight plays across Gotz' enormous blade for a moment, transforming it into a glowing arc of steel as he cleaves between the earth and sky- covering the underbrush with green blood as goblin and orc alike fall as easily as cut grass.

All but one. The older Orc that appeared to be leading the expedition looks down on his fallen brothers with contempt, the massive wound through his crude ringmail not even seeming to phase him. With a snarl, he rips the ruined armor free of his chest and raises his axe towards Gotz in challenge.

(Question: What is essence for and how do I level up? I couldn't find anything in the book.)

I had a couple options, and I wanted to see how the first fight panned out before I decided. In short, essence is a legacy component that once was used for healing/leveling up/buying items/upgrades. For now, it's basically just XP. The main issue that I was waiting on for how to distribute it was to see how evenly kills and damage got distributed, and how I want to handle how the XP gets distributed between party members.
