It's a 5% penalty on all rolls due to the sprint.

With this update I discovered the turnaround tackle sprites are saved on my characters part of the sheet. I'm humbled.

[Arch Lich Burns]

...okay i am being dumb but what does a sucessful flag grab do?

[M0rtimer]

3 exp for everyone involved in the flag run, 5 points for the team that does the flag run, and the ability to gain advancement exp is reset for that team.

[Arch Lich Burns]

Involved in what way exacly? Does it have be direct involvement? What if a team member tackles where they think an opponet will be at while opponets chase the flag carrier?

[SeeAMoose]

It's up to the GM to decide who counts as being involved, but generally as long as someone is trying to help the flag bearer score they get xp. That could mean guarding their retreat, serving as a distraction, carrying the flag themselves, cheering on the flag bearer. Again, it's up to the GM, but there is generally a lot of leniency on that matter.

How did carves get two exp?

It was early, before I started dancing with everybody on your side.

[SeeAMoose]

Hey M0rt, is this to 15 points? More? or is it to a set number of turns.

[M0rtimer]

Hmm, yes... I didn't quite set any rules at the start of this, did I?

Let's put the same rules as game 1- First to 15 points, but must win by two points.

[Nerre]

I am having no luck at all. Had to attack but was expecting him to guard.

You could have waited till the second half of the turn

► Show Spoiler

Welp, the dice really don't like Nerre it seems... :/

Also added another advancement exp for Boar Slayer I had apparently forgot. It pays to double-check yourself peeps! Even if I'd never make mistakes.

[Arch Lich Burns]

How does he get 10% bonus for being a defender? He wasnt defending....he was sprinting.

[Nerre]

Use other dice, those bring bad luck, at least for me. now i even lost with a 70% success chance. Sorry guys.

[M0rtimer]

Defenders always get a 10% bonus on their own half.

You know Burns, all these rules are stated in the recruitment thread...

edit: Oh wait, I'm wrong! It's only when tackling or defending on their own half that they get that 10% bonus - Sorry Burns. Unless I made another mistake somewhere however, it doesn't matter though.

And sorry Nerre. I think you'll have to complain against atmospheric noise, since I'm using random.org for the rolls...

[Nerre]

I don't complain, I know how bad dice seem sometimes from out BT or D&D pen and paper games. A warrior in our group once cut of his own foot after rolling the worst possible result for his attack, and as a result of that a vampire bit me, costing me one level. That level was exactly the minimum level for me being able to reattach limbs and heal broken bones, so it was a tripple fail. Foot gone, level gone and could not heal it. The next encounter I just tried to open the fight by hiding and backstabbing, and I two times rolled the maximum, halving the hitpoints of said vampire before the fight even began. Sometimes the dice hate you, some times they love you, that's life.

[SeeAMoose]

Why did yells suffer a penalty for carrying the flag?

Carrying the flag

While carrying the flag, the player cannot Guard or Tackle and does not gain bonuses from skills or feats that doesn't concern flag carrying. If the flag carrier loses a tussle and is pinned, the flag is dropped. If no teammates are left standing in the square, the flag returns to its starting position. (It's a magic flag.) The flag may be dropped as a free action.
If the flag is carried back to your own half, the team gets 5 points! All players in the team that participated in the attack run (determined by referee) gets 3 exp. Additionally, anyone earning xp for participating in a flag run must return to their own half before touching the flag or earning xp as part of a flag capture again.
The game cannot end while a member of the losing team has the flag.

Also, shouldn't Nerre have suffered a 5% penalty for having a teammate in the same square.

[M0rtimer]

Well... I could have sworn the flag carrier takes a 10% penalty - Apparently not.

[M0rtimer]

Got all the moves so... Double update day!
