Puliendo y refinando el Combate

[Zulgyan]

Un borrador de lo que estoy laburando... Muchas cosas ya son así en el libro pero acá las ordeno y las pongo más clarito.

Movement

Un personaje puede moverse su movement rate dentro de un round y realizar alguna acción. Un personaje tambien puede trotar el doble de su movement rate durante un round, pero esto solo le permite realizar acciones menores como desenvainar un arma u otra acción simple. Tambien se pueden correr en una linea mas o menos recta el cuadruple del movement rate, pero se pieden los bonos de dexterity al hacerlo.

A veces, el movimiento puede resultar dificultoso porque en el camino hay malezas, es rocoso, hay escombros, es desnivelado, etc. En estos casos, el DM estimará cual es la reducción al movimiento si es que el personaje quiere moverse con el cuidado necesario. El personaje siempre puede intentar un dexterity check para sobrepasar con destreza estos obstaculos bajo el riesgo de tropezar y caer en donde el DM determine y con los efectos que eso pueda significar.


Melee

Facing

Each character or creature is assumed to have a front, flanks, and rear. When creatures of equal size are battling, up to six can sorround a single figure.
Normally, a defender attempts to keep his opponents in sight. Thus, if there are no special circumstances (such as a thief moving silently behind the defender), opponents first occupy the front, then the flanks, and finally the rear. It's assumed that the defender will try to keep attackers from getting around him.
The diagram and description apply only when combat involves creatures of the same size. If the attacker is one size greater than the defenders, he occupies two spaces on the diagram. From creatures two size or more larger, the attacker occupies 3 to 4 spaces. Creatures of a size smaller ocuppie half a space.




Flank: +1 to hit.
Rear: +2 to hit.
Attacking helpless defenders: During a general melee attacks against helpless defender (like those that are slepping of held) have +10 bonus to hit and +4 damage. Outside a general melee or when the battle is over, helpless defenders are slain automatically.


Combat Options

Charge: el personaje se lanza en una corrida que le permite moverse el double de movement. El movimiento debe ser más o menos en linea recta o de lo contrario se pierde el envión necesario para la carga. La carga necesita una distancia razonable del enemigo para poder ser efectiva. Si el terreno es dificultoso, como puede der una carga bajando una escalera, el DM puede exigir al jugador un dexterity check o de lo contrario el personaje se tropieza y cae al piso. Pueden haber obstaculos que hagan imposible la carga. La fuerza que se gana con la carga otorga +2 bonos al daño, pero al mismo tiempo el cargador se expone más y debe sacrifar defensa por -2 AC.

Dodge:Un personaje puede concentrarse en esquivar golpes antes que atacar a sus enemigos. Si no ataca en ese round gana +2 AC contra tres ataques.

Evade: Un personaje puede concentrarse en defenderse de un oponente en particular, siguiendo de cerca sus movimientos. Para ello sacrifica sus capacidad de atacar en el round pero obtiene +4 AC contra un oponente.

Salir Corriendo: Si un personaje sale corriendo para escapar de una melee (al doble o cuadruple del movimiento), todos los enemigos que lo tenía cerca en melee tienen un ataque gratis contra el con +2 bonos al ataque.

Alejarse: Un personaje puede alejarse cuidadosamente de una melee. El personaje puede moverse hasta su move pero luego no puede realizar ninguna acción. Si un personaje quisiera hacer alguna acción, esto le obligará a descuidar su defensa al retirarse porque necesita ser más veloz, y odos los enemigos que lo tenía cerca en melee tienen un ataque gratis contra el con +2 bonos al ataque.

Hold Action: Si un personaje mantiene su acción declarada durante el round, puede actuar primero en la iniciativa del proximo round si no cambia su acción.

Aim: Si un personaje se pasa un round apuntando con una arma range a un enemigo, puede atacarlo en el siguiente round con un +2 bonus al ataque si nada perturbó su concentración.

Combat Maneuvers

Unarmed Maneuvers:

The following maneuvers are perfomed without weapons.

Disarm: Attack roll modified by strenght, + 2 if monk vs. 20 + BtH + dex o str (whichever is higher). You steal opponents weapon.
Overbear: This type of attack is used to knock an opponent down. This is a tactic used in wrestling and other types of hand-to-hand combat, as well as when an animal charges and knocks someone over. Overbeared makes an attack rolls modified by strenght vs. 15 + BtH + dex or strength (whichever is higher) + Size (+2 or -2 for each size category) +1 per additional attacker.
Grapple: Grappling involves grabbing and holding a defender, as with classical wrestling or a snake constricting its body around its prey. The grappler makes an attack roll modified by strenght vs. 15 + BtH + dex and str + Size (+2 or -2 for each size category). Can only Grapple humanoid types one size difference. Success means both are grappled and must make grapple checks to do any grapple action. Grapple actions: Break grapple, draw knife or dagger, attack with knife or dagger, Move opponent 5 ft, do subdual damage, lift to then throw. Both considered prone and defenseless.
Push: Attack rolls modified by strenght, +1 if using a medium or larger shield vs. 15 + BtH + strength + Size (+2 or -2 for each size category). Combatants employ this manuever to force an opponent somewhere 5 feet from where it's now standing + 1 feet por every point of success in excess.


Armed Maneuvers:

The following maneuvers are perfomed with weapons.

Trip: To pull or trip an opponent, the character must be armed with a weapon that has the ability to snare someone's legs. The following weapons all qualify: bill, bola, bow, heavy crossbow, flails, harthingy, javelin, khopesh, lasso, mancatcher, net, pick, any polearm, quarterstaff, scourge, spear, staff sling, and whip. These weapons feature long staff-like pieces, chains or ropes, or heads that can catch and pull an anemy's legs out from under him. Attack rolls vs. 15 + BtH + dex or strength (whichever is higher) + Size (+2 or -2 for each size category).
Disarm: Attack roll modified by strenght vs. 18 + BtH + dex o str (whichever is higher). Enemy weapon is droped somewhere nearby. If it would be relevant where the weapon falls (maybe the fight is ocurring just besides a clift) the DM must determine randomly where the weapon falls. Disarm may be attempted with ranged weapons if the DM finds it reasonable (usually comparing sizes bewteen weapons). Penalties for this action should be around -4.
Destabilize: Attacker does a series of feints, false moves and distracting maneuvers that can put the defender off-balance. This is done with dexterity check vs. BtH + dex = CL, opponent suffers -2 AC until next round. Monks may do this manuever unarmed.

As a general rule, defenders not aware and unexpecting of their attacker, can't use BtH in their defense against maneuvers.



TWO WEAPON FIGHTING
At some point, characters will attempt to fight with a weapon in both hands. This is a difficult skill to master, and it takes much experience to do it well (see the monk class). When using two weapons, the player must designate which hand is used for the primary attack and which is the off hand attack. The off-hand weapon must be a small weapon; does that deal no more that 1d6 points of damage. Typically, this is determined by the handedness of the character, either right handed or left handed. The character is allowed to swing with both weapons, thus gaining two attacks in a single round, but the attack with the primary hand is at -3 and the attack with the off hand is at -6. These penalties are affected by the character’s dexterity modifier. If a character is using 2 small weapons that deal 1d4 damage or lower, the attack with the primary hand is at -2 and the attack with the off hand is at -4. If the character is using two medium weapons,the attack with the primary hand is at -4 and the attack with the off hand is at -8.

What You Can Do In One Round
Whatever the precise length of a combat round, a character an accomplish only one basic action in that round, be-it making an attack, casting a spell, drinking a potion, or tending to a fallen comrade. The basic action, however, may involve several lesser actions.
When making an attack, a character is likely to close with his opponent, circle for an opening, feint here, jab there, block a thrust, leap back, and perhaps finally make a telling blow. A spellcaster may fumble for his components, dodge an attacker, mentally review the steps of the spell, intone the spell, and then move to safety when it is all done.
Some examples of the actions a character can accomplish include the following:
• Make an attack
• Cast one spell (if the casting time is one round or less)
• Perform a class ability.
• Drink a potion
• Light a torch
• Use a magical item
• Attempt to open a stuck or secret door
• Bind a character's wounds
• Search a body
• Attempt a combat maneuver.
• Recover a dropped weapon

There are also actions that take a negligible amount of time, things the character does without affecting his ability to perform a more important task. Examples of these include the following:
• Shout warnings, brief instructions, or demands for surrender, but not conversations where a reply is expected.
• Change weapons by dropping one and drawing another.



The Combat Sequence
In real life, combat is one of the closest things to pure anarchy. Each side is attempting to harm the other, essentially causing disorder and chaos. Thus combats are filled with unknowns- unplanned events, failed attacks, lack of communication, and general confusion and uncertainty. However, to play a battle in the game, it is necessary to impose some order on the actions that occur. Within a combat round, there is a set series of steps that must be followed. These steps are:

1. The DM decides what actions the monsters or NPCs will take, including casting spells (if any).
2. The players indicate what their characters will do, including casting spells. (if any).
3. Initiative is determined.
4. Attacks are made in order of initiative.

These steps are followed until the combat ends-either one side is defeated, surrenders, or runs away.
NPC/Monster Determination: In the first step, the DM secretly decides in general terms what each opponent will do-attack, flee, or cast a spell. He does not announce his decisions to the players. If a spell is to be cast, the DM picks the spell before the players announce their characters' actions.
Player Determination: Next, the players give a general indication of what their characters are planning to do. This does not have to be perfectly precise and can be changed somewhat, if the DM decides circumstances warrant.
If the characters are battling goblins, a player can say, "My fighter will attack” without having to announce which goblin he will strike. If the characters are battling a mixed group of goblins and ogres, the player has to state whether his character is attacking goblins or ogres.
Spells to be cast must also be announced at this time and cannot be changed once the initiative die is rolled.
Before moving on, the DM will make sure he has a clear idea of not only what the player characters are doing, but also what actions any hirelings and henchmen are taking. Once he has a clear view of everything that's likely to happen, the DM can overrule any announced action that violates the rules (or in the case of an WC, is out of character).
He is not required to overrule an impossible action, but he can let a character attempt it anyway, knowing full well the character cannot succeed. It is not the DMs position to advise players on the best strategies, most intelligent actions, or optimum maneuvers for their characters.
Initiative: In the third step, dice are rolled to determine initiative, according to the rules for initiative.
Resolution: In the last step, PCs, NPCs, and monsters make their attacks, spells occur, and any other actions are resolved according to the order of initiative.



INITIATIVE
The order of action in a combat round is determined by an initiative roll. Every creature or character participating in the combat round rolls a d10 to determine their initiative each round. Those with the highest roll take their action first, and the actions of others descend from there. In the case of a tie, the one with the highest dexterity goes first. In the case of equal dexterity, a simultaneous action occurs.

This method of establishing initiative may seem chaotic at times, especially with large groups of creatures or characters. In those cases, the Castle Keeper may find it necessary to require a group initiative instead, with the winning party acting before anyone in the opponent party.

There is one exception to initiative: when a creature uses a reach weapon against an opponent without a reach weapon, or when a large creature is fighting a medium or smaller sized creature. In the melee closing only, the creature wielding a reach weapon or of larger size is allowed to attack first, even if the creature without a reach weapon or the the smaller creature won the initiative roll. This rule only applies if the creature with the shorter reach or smaller creature approaches within ten feet. Such action counts as the action for that round for the larger creature or the one with the longer weapon.

Fighting Stances

A Character may choose to favour a more aggressive stance at the expense of his defence or a more defensive stance at the expense of his offence. To Hit Bonuses and Penalties apply to all Melee and Missile Attacks the Character makes during the Round, but these options may not be used when Charging, Fleeing, Running or otherwise moving rapidly.

Defensive Stance

During Action Declaration, a Character may choose to take up to a -2 Penalty to Hit for the duration of the Round in order to gain an equivalent Bonus to Armour Class for the same period.

Offensive Stance

During Action Declaration, a Character may choose for to take up to a -2 Penalty to Armour Class for the duration of the Round in order to gain an equivalent Bonus to Hit for the same period.

Moral en combate:
Hay diversas situaciones durante un combate en las que un personaje o pnj deberá efectuar chequeos de moral. Un chequeo de moral es una TS de voluntad. Fallar una tirada de moral significa que el personaje no podrá avanzar hacia el personaje ni iniciar una acción hostil contra él, lo que sí podrá hacer es protegerse y/o buscar cobertura. En el siguiente turno el personaje tiene derecho a otra tirada de moral, si falla significará que el personaje se bate en retirada. Sólo se puede hacer una tirada de moral por turno.

Situaciones en las que se requieren tiradas de moral:
- El personaje está siendo atacado cuando éste no puede responder al ataque (por ejemplo porque le están disparando y él no tiene armas de proyectiles.
- El personaje está siendo triplicado en número en combate cuerpo a cuerpo.
- El personaje ve a un compañero caer inconsciente o muerto cerca de él.
- El personaje está cerca de un compañero que se bate en retirada (que ha fallado dos tiradas de moral seguidas).
- Perder la mitad o más puntos de vida de un solo ataque.
- El personaje está siendo cargado por un enemigo que va montado.
