More questions from a newbie

Interesting rule. I like it, actually.

Integrate it into the combat simulator, now.

What, you're not working on it yet?

How about treat the shield like a terrain roll.
Pull a certain amount of dice out of the pool, roll against a target number dependent on the shield size.  Success equals shield block, failure indicates...it doesn't.  If you want to go turtle, you use a ton of dice, if you want the ability to be aggressive you don't.

You could then, if one was so inclined, get into the effects of multiple successes.  Perhaps a single success only gives you half the normal protection from the shield while 2 successes gives full (if it proves too easy to get a single success).  Perhaps successes beyond that allow for shield bashes or "block to open" sorts of moves.

Seems sensible to me anyway.

Too busy with the Character Generator right now. It's mostly done though, and as soon as my testers get back to me I should be able to send that to Jake and then maybe get back to the Combat Sim. Maybe I'll even get the combat AI sorted, but it's a hell of a task, let me tell you.
