1D x 100 + fudge factors

Fudge Factors
I've done some thinking and decided that the bonuses for skill levels weren't quite as I'd like, and have decided to change them to make it more realistic. Before it was not too hard for a master to lose to an apprentice in combat. Now it will be a bit harder, not only for that given scenario, but for others. Now it is still possible for an apprentice to best a legendary fighter in combat, but lets face it: that's -extremely- unlikely. I hope you guys like the changes:

110 Legendary
100 Grandmaster
90 Master
80 Expert
70 Noteworthy
60 Apprentice
50 Novice
40 Beginner

FYI: Everyone who has expert skills already will stay as experts, but I will be editing the character creation slightly so players apply with two noteworthy skills and one expert one.

+ 10 for VS (Kit's very favorite rule)

For Gaia's benefit, the key rules of combat:

1. Training weapons:
-5 to skill if hit for a Light wound,
-10 to skill if hit for an Average wound,
-25 to skill if kerwhacked with a Heavy hit and for some reason you're still fighting.

2. Real Steel:

-10 to skill if hit for a Light wound,
-20 if hit with an Average wound,
-35 if hit with a Heavy wound.

As a rule, when training you'll go down after -25 skill, while in a duel to the death you can feel free to fight into the negatives until the other guy gets a +100 shot. (Though if you're more than fifty points down, especially into negative terrain, you may have a permanent injury; if you make negative and still win, it's likely two graves will be dug.)


0-10 margin of hit: no wound.
11-25: light
26-50: average
51-100: heavy

Looks good. Your idea about shield/two-handed modifiers looks interesting but you're adding a rod for your back for the future. Ask the Smith how much work was involved in the KL tourney. It was really enjoyable, but by god it was hard work.

I think there needs to be "mod calls" on these things, more formal rules for tourneys, more seat of the pants for a bar brawl (as this was). In formal settings like tourneys, I think everyone would make the best choice for themselves so should be fairly even--If you use a shield it is because you want it. If you don't, it is because it slows you down or whatever. I'm not even thrilled by the Valarian Steel sword rule but will take it as grandfathered in! (The nitpicky rule guy in Emelia comes out when discussing these things, it's really funny to see).
