OOC Thread for discussion of battles

[The Smith]

Feel free to post who you think will win battles or comment on any combat moves (though please don't advise the generals, they are their own!)

[serdonaltyrell]

I would like to know what the real impact of your decisions are?
If you choose to defend and do so successfully, do you raise the chances of gaining the upper hand in the next round. If you are injured, are you penalised in any way?
How much of a difference does each skill level make?
e.g. Does an expert swordsman have a 20% greater chance of making a successful attack than an apprentice one?

It may be all down to dice but I'd like to know more about the 'odds' as it were

[Axell Lannister]

also, how do you work out the skills of npcs (like seconds)

[The Smith]

Most NPC's have apprentice skill.
I'll take more time to explain this another time as I'm just about to head out the door, but...
Beginner: 40
Novice: 50
Apprentice: 60
Expert: 75
Master: 85
Legendary: 100

I roll a d100 die and add the two scores together, then I compare the two sets of scores and depending on the difference I write the result.

[Axell Lannister]

Will other aspects of the character, such as strength, size, speed, equipment etc be taken into account? (I dont mind either way, so dont feel pressured to do this if your not already, id just like to know if they're being taken into accoutn or not)

[The Smith]

Somewhat, yes.

[Bunny-Rabbit]

Sorry, I don't have time to write up a scenario right now, but I wanted to send half of my fleet south to scout, but not engage.

And I know I have one cause I have mentioned in two scenarios at the beginning of the War of Stags and Dragons.

[Lord Rhodri Arryn]

Use the "Event" option instead of writing a scenario. Just a thought, it makes it just as official as a Scenario.

[Deleted]

I think we should list the melee teams just so that it's clear for Crakehall/the Stranger when they arrive to do the refereeing.

So I guess: Alliser, Tommen and Garrett Redfort, with Addam Tyrell as the Knight of the Moon

And: Ser Robert Royce, Ser Giles Grandison(only if Rhodri approves this), Ser Timm Vikary (if Baldwin approves) and Ser Donal Tyrell (if Donal approves)

[guest1]

I believe Ser Roberts right hand is in no condition for melee. but I will gladly take his place, presuming you accept me to your team.

[Axell Lannister]

Ser Harys Piper and Ser Samwise Rivers will join forces in the melee. And anyone else would be welcome to join them

[darklyn]

It is to bad someone had to go and write up that Sunspear was sacked. Which does not seem to cool, wouldnt something like that require the permission of that faction?

Anyway, I would have liked to do the melee but my characters duties as a Martell call him home.

[guest1]

Mayby your second can participate in melee? (Lucian, check my post from the silver serpent subject!)

[darklyn]

Crake I imagine you will be starting the Lucian Vs. Syrio duel soon?

[Axell Lannister]

Looks like Syrios going to die. Pity, i enjoyed roleplaying as him, allthough i guess hes at odds with my main character so it doesnt really matter
