So, that put's Mayhem at what a 1 or so? Given that he attributes your wins somewhat to your luck?
Nah, Ashren honestly knows the combat sytem better than me. While I like to complain about his luck with roles... it's only a small part of it.
I'd say I'm I'd ned at least a two or three die advantage to beat Ashren on a regular basis with identical characters.

Actually, my luck combined with mayhem's is really ugly, I will roll really really well (15 dice, TN of 5, 13 successes) unless he is doing a counter which makes my roll turn bad for that exchange (15 dice, tn of 5, 2 successes) and thus the battle tends to really go in my favor when I roll against him. This is actually even uglier for me since when I play I usualy play in his games so it has forcedhim to create really outrageous bad guys for my characters to fight and really ubsurd TN's for tasks. Once he gave me a TN of 44 for a research roll, I got a 54. Thats about how things go with my luck and his in the same game.

Yeah... I really should have just said no to that one... but I figured I ad to give him a chance... even if it was one-in-a-million.
Had to really pull something out of my butt when he got that 54...

okay...this is scary.
I'm probably a 1 or a 2 from Jake Norwood. One time, I saw him stop a sharp sword with his chi, and then he beat me up and about 7 other guys without even breaking a sweat. And that was in TROS.
Actually, I did stop a knife with my face once, but that wasn't in TROS.

Aw, c'mon Jake, just sit back and enjoy your newly declared combat godhood. ;-) They don't know any better.

Uh, I've played with Jake on a couple of occasions. So I do know better.
I've been waiting for Ralph to come by and tell us how much he's improved since I saw Jake beat his monster warrior playing a kid with a stick (gad, I'll never get tired of recounting that).
Ralph?
