So in combat, when you roll hitt dice to soak after level 1, do you roll all of the top level dice in the chain, or just one of them?
Additionally if you roll all of them, do you loose all of them if you fail to soak?
I feel like that's not the intent, as that would essentially mean you're only ever going to soak when you're at your highest die, and every character can only hake 3 hits.

You roll all of them. :). Hit and Die by guax and Prosaiko wivh is a skirmish hack of MiniBX also has a very cool alternative (and it is free). I tested 5lvl characters and this works. Thanks so much for asking, hole everything is clear.

So how about losing dice? When something breaks that first roll, do you lose one from the highest stack, or all of them?

Lucas RolimDeveloper2 years ago

just one, and roll the other one from the highest stack, until their are gone.

So like this?

Attack vs 5d8 + armor->Remainder vs 4d8+life -> keep repeating?

I’m now coming bact to this and am… Baffled at the math for attacks at higher levels. So, assuming you’re rolling your entire hit die chain to absorb, how do you actually deal damage past level 3? As far as i can tell, you don’t get any more dice to roll besides your weapon’s singular damage dice?

Indeed, you no longer roll dice for your weapon, but similar to traditional D&D mechanics, your character naturally becomes more resistant to damage as they level up.

Do you roll all of them? So like, when fighting a red dragon, one needs to make an attack that breaks a 10d8+6 defense initial defense?? I always thought you rolled each dice separately for soaking, ao trying to attack a red dragon would be Attack VS 1d8+6 and if it beats the defense the dragon's HD is reduced.

that's it, 10d8, than 9d8. And then it continues.
