I've set out a proposed action that develops the movement / engaging actions. It seems sensible that people would attempt to get some benefit when closing to attack, which their opponent may want to prevent. Comments, thoughts welcome. Combat Action: Manoeuvre for position An adventurer may...

Apparently the term 'swashbuckler', comes from a sweeping / cutting motion used by dinner-plate sized bucklers in the off-hand: 'to swash your buckler'.

Thanks, that makes sense, I can hopefully get my players to see the sense of this. Antalon.

Thanks very much to all involved in this.

Hello, Can anyone help me with the following: Can you deliberately target an opponents weapons in order to break them without needed a combat manoeuvre? The damage weapon manoeuvre seems more an opportunistic move that you take while also hitting the foe directly. What is I target their...

Except that as written, delay doesn't do what you claim it does. Delaying doesn't let you interrupt another person's action it simply lets you wait until later. As RQII has no formal declaration then any interruption is merely a case of GM fiat. When you add that in with the fact that actions...

On a related issue, I note that Knockbacks are still effective against Damage Resistence. That implies that certain combat manoeuvres will also be effective, those that don't rely on causing a injuryge. Bash Opponent is a development of Knockback, so could be used. Trip opponent is another...

Can anyone help me with explaining what the movement rate for the Climbing use of Athletics is? The errata says all references to CA should read combat rounds. Okay, that’s noted. So, the text says that a character can normally move 2m per combat round (given errata). It then has a formula...

Thanks Phil - so the Quarry and Dragon Mount are on the east bank (NE of the river)?

Is that a Mongoose east or a cardinal east? :wink: He's sprinting so an skill cannot exceed Athletics - yes? The attack roll with bonuses for surprise and rear attack could be much higher than Athlestics. I'd probably rule No: although the Athletics test could be simple or easy (so a...

Okay, I found this earlier thread that explains some of the other questions I had (like where is God's Hill). http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=45803&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15&sid=7d0920512d6e1f13e11dfadfda534636 But - can wanyone help with these questions: 1)...

Huzzah! Oh, and Cults of Glorantha....?
