Home Rules

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.
