Home Rules

[Aaron]

Hi guys.
As I've been playing TROS I've been coming up with a few of things to fill the odd gap here or there.  I thought I might share a few.  Don't really see the need to discuss them on the forum, if you like 'em use 'em, if you don't, don't.

SHIELD BASH
·   For use with any style using a bucker or shield.
·   Assign dice as per a regular attack.
·   Range can be either hand or short. Only short for buckler.
·   Strike to either head or upper leg.
·   ATN 7.  Parries for opponent is at DTN +1.
·   Does STR+1+ x shock. x is = to damage level.Bludgeon thrust
              damage.
·   Can be used to strike lower arm if used in a simultaneous
               attack.
·   In this case opponent will loose 1 die from his attack for every  
               2 successes you achieve in the margin.


I used John Clements book "Medieval Swordsmanship" to help with this one.

If you like it or want to discuss contact me at Aaron.C@bigpond.com. Most of the things I have done are not new maneuvers but to clarify things for me and my players.  Things like partial and full pauses, skill checks, horses in combat, and a few other things.  All within the spirit of the TROS system.
Aaron.
