Troop Rules, rev. 3

Quickie Explanation: Player rolls 2d10 and a d6. One d10 is for troop's attack and one d10 is for target's parry/dodge. d6 is for troop's damage if resolution is successful.

0. Strike rank: all PCs get to roll first when fighting an enemy. All troops get to roll first on the side that makes their tactics roll by the most that round.
1. Roll 2d10 and a d6 paired for each troop. The colored/darker d10 is the troop's attack, the white/lighter d10 is the defender's parry. The d6 is the base damage die.
2. All enemies are assumed to have a defense of 5 unless otherwise stated by the referee (usually as a + or - on their counter, signifying +/- 1 on average defense.) Enemies may have AP listed on the counter.
3. Compare the rolls. If the attacker hits and the defender missed, compare the damage roll against the defender's AP. On any other result the attack was not successful.
4. Defense is for melee only, missile defense is based on shield size 2 for buckler, 3 for medium, 5 for large. Buckler is signified by notations to the AP: .#., medium (#), large [#]
5. Damage: for each two points (rnd up) damage is above AP, the target loses a hit. Hits are marked with a die or counter.
6. Healing: It takes 4 total healing to heal a hit. 6 MP of Treat Wounds will heal a hit in two hours.
7. Criticals: when a 1 is rolled, add 4 to damage (unless target could only hit on a 1, then add 4 only half the time (ie. roll an extra d6 and 1-3 = critical 4-6 = normal.) If attack is 10+, a roll of 2
8. Bookeeping: All the items on the conversion below are kept track of on the actual counter. Other items are kept track of on the troop stat sheet.
9. Excessive Damage: normally parries add 6 to AP (medium shield or normal weapon, 4 for buckler, 8 for large shield.) Criticals and high damage troops might damage a target even if they did parry.
