Apparently you did not see what I meant by "bleed effect", which seems self explanatory enough to me, but that's ok :) I reiterate: Maximum damage in one hit is but one of several things that could happen on a critical. That could also be dmg over several CAs, atacks being slowed down, etc. I...

No, what I said is that "maximum dmg" is a very narrow and limited option for a "critical success". Just like "Dropped weapon" is for Fumble. What I did point out is that you are fine with one, and not the other :) My examples of possibilities for crit. sucess included dmg over time (bleed)...

No idea, and ... (don't mean to be a Smartass on that, simply truthfull) don't care :) The day I decide to use guns in a Gloranthan Fantasy Game (what RQ is all about -for me-), just shoot me :) (*wink*)

I wouldn't say "smartass", but unwilling to see things from another point of view, yes. As I myself pointed out, you say that a crit is a special success, and a fumble a special failure. To that regard, they are identical. So, you have no problem with a crit being systematically maximum dmg...

I think you answer this yourself :) Thus, if crit is an option in the table, why not Fumble ? Imagine a table with results that not only determine defense vs attack, but also how good the attack is (which crit already hints at). My take on it is that it is 2 birds one stone. 1) You simplify...

You said originally What's so hard to understand ? It is well known that the Gloranthan Bestiary has some god-awful illustrations (and I own it, it's not hearsay). It was simply gently making fun of your "RQ monster art" phrase. My point is you are making a gross generalization that is untrue...

My take on it is that -if the 2 roll system is indeed what was intended- its purpose was to separate the attack process into two classic events 1) Attack roll (remember that only a successful attack can trigger a defense, as per the rules This determines either success -or- failure of attack...

By RQ style, you mean AH Gloranthan Beastiary style ? I know, low blow, but you had it coming :) P.S: Interesting take you got on "anime style", given your Sephiroth Avatar ...

Oh I do understand what you mean, but in your interpretation ... What's the Crit of a Crit ? 2nd Roll: Failed Result vs Failed Dodge : If the 1st roll was a crit, it carries through ("as normal") Critical Result vs Failed Dodge: Attack succeeds and becomes critical hit

That flaw is actually not one. The first attack roll simply determines if the attack is successful or not, not if there is a crit/fumble etc. That would the the second roll. This makes much more sense with the Fail/Fail result. If you port the crit ... then why is a second roll necessary in the...

The thing is, anime is an -extremely- large genra. It can range from this http://www.andrealattore.com/images/Lodoss.jpg to this http://www.sfondideldesktop.com/Images-Movies/Yu-Gi-Oh/Yu-Gi-Oh-0002/Yu-Gi-Oh-0002.jpg

It seems two schools of MRQ combat are going to develop (at least until/if Mongoose publishes an "official errata". On one hand, what appears to be the "original" combat which can be described as 1) Declaration of attack and roll This roll is -only- to determine if the intention of attack is...

Actually, I think you might want to re-check the definition of "Private" and "Public". You are posting on a -Private- forum, owned by Mongoose publishing/ Let me remind you of a little something you had to agree (like everyone else) when you created your posting avatar : While the...

Frankly more than once reading these boards about the new products I have been on the verge of reporting you for being overly negative Atg. Even if I have never done so, I am prety sure more than one person did, and look, you are still here and not banned.

That's how I intend to do it, and thanks for the table, Very RQ-esque indeed :)
