A Simpler Damage System

A new version of the advventurers guide has been uploaded today - finally an overdue update of the table of contents and index.

Also a clarification of spellcast and shoot actions in teh action economy. Originally we had a pathfinder type system where if you move-action=move that was three actions. We made spellcasting and shooting two action point so you couldt leap from behind cover and launch a ranged attack and leap back without a special ability/ That otherwise be exploiting a turn based system to be invlnerable.

The introduced of split movement (like Baldurs Gaye 3) and all members of a party moving together mean the need for a revision. Now when you take a two point action (spellcast or shoot for example) movement ends, unless you have a special ability like Fast Shoot from Cover.

The second much bigger change is the damage system. This requuired two big tables to work out which slowed play. This has now been revised to one simple table.

You first claculate: Damage Rank = Damage Category Minus Armour Category

Then use this single simple table:

Damage Rank	Damage Dice Weapons	Damage Dice Spells & Monsters
-4 or less	No Damage	No Damage
-3 or less	No Damage	1
-2	1	1d4
-1	1d4	1d6
0	1d6	1d8
1	1d8	1d10
2	1d10	1d12
3	1d12	2d6+1
4	2d6+1	3d6+2
5	3d6+2	4d6+3
6  or more	Add 1d6 per rank above 5	Add 1d6+1 per rank above 5
