Combat Mechanics and Comments

[Mojo]

You didn't mention how the combat initiative is calculated.

And I don't see what the problem with magickal vs. physical combat. The fighter will use physical attacks and the sorcerer will use phsical defence while the sorcerer will use magickal attack and the fighter will use magickal defence.

about the reaction - what if we have a dual and they both with weapons drawn?
and what about magick combat reaction, is it the same as normal combat reaction?

and about magick combat. let's say someone casts fireball at me, can I dodge it with a good Evasion role?

and one last question. if I use conjuration type of magick, will I be able to conjure an anvil just above my opponents head in combat?

[Mojo]

We can say that in order to summon a creature you have to be in full concentration, and you can't reach this level of concentration in a middle of a combat.

And I don't think that magick reaction should involve the magick knowledge skill, because the knowledge skill, for my opinion, is used to identify spells and not to anticipate if someone is going to use magick.

I think that in physical combat, the one with his weapon drawn should be given the attack priority, and if they both with weapon drawn, than with should compare reactions and the one with the highest reacts first.

/in for test 2 (preferebly as mod)

I thought you needed only 2 players for test 1. And Kerplunk already volunteered.
If you need another one I'll be happy to do it.

[Mojo]

I have another question.
Let's say I want to disarm my opponent in combat, what do I need to role in order to do that?

[Mojo]

How about we do that on a successful focus check, the person get's a +1 or +2 to his next roll.

About willpower. I think we should penalize a person after he reaches 50% of his normal hit points, rounded down. And on a successful willpower check, the person ignores the penelty.
And I like the idea of one action after reaching 0 hit points.

[Mojo]

Maybe the disarmed person should do a coordination and athletics check vs. a fixed number to see if he is able to dive to his weapon quick enough in order to pick it up and stand up again. If he fails, he lose a turn and has a -2 for defencive check this turn.
