So if you had 5hp and take 5 damage, that's a Scar.<br /><br />The reasoning behind Scars potentially making you tougher is that you learn from the experience, which makes you better equipped to avoid harm in future.

So am I correct in reading that you *only* get scarred if you hit precisely 0 HP on an attack? Also, some scars, when relieved, appear to potentially boost your HP significantly. What is the 'fluff' behind that if any? Just curious why having my guts mangled, or being doomed would do that? I suspect it could be that I'm considerably tougher in mind/body - but I am just looking for the thought here both in fluff and in terms of 'why' mechanically.<br /><br />Seems cool and I have barely scratched the surface so far!Masterhithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13234891445565121648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615826467198003068.post-28380444006138905422022-07-07T15:14:28.817+01:002022-07-07T15:14:28.817+01:00This is so, so good.

I want strength in numbers to be a factor, but in ITO it can sometimes be a bit too much of a factor. This can sometimes make single opponents feel a too fragile, and packs of small enemies too powerful. <br /><br />Rolling together and keeping the highest adds a small amount of complexity, but I've found it makes for more interesting combat.

It scratches an itch that has been rarely scratched since I first started with fantasy rpgs like AD&D 1e (and others) in 1980, and even then it was via the home brew stuff from various talented GMs. I too wish I could just drop the other stuff I have on the go, and start a game of this.Alistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631364538623314004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615826467198003068.post-38794959810539375592022-07-06T08:02:29.567+01:002022-07-06T08:02:29.567+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Alistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631364538623314004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615826467198003068.post-57654201120070358012022-07-05T19:47:34.265+01:002022-07-05T19:47:34.265+01:00There is no easy way of saying this, but I goddamn...There is no easy way of saying this, but I goddamn love you man!

Is it a game balance thing? Or is it a verisimilitude issue (multiple attackers getting in the way of each other)? Or something else entirely? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this.xerife costahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02577764855365730434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615826467198003068.post-25100154861797809272022-07-05T15:17:44.723+01:002022-07-05T15:17:44.723+01:00Yes please!
