  1. Thanks to all for the responses, really helped clear things up.
  2. I understand but...this is from the KAP 5.2 pg. 115, Example of Values Greater than 20: Sir Yvane fights from horseback against a foot soldier. Yvane’s Sword Skill is normally 19, but the combat modifier for attacking unmounted foes gives him an increase of +5, so Yvane’s Sword Skill value is temporarily increased to 24. In effect, then, his Skill value is set at 20, and he receives a +4 bonus on his Sword rolls. If Yvane a the foot soldier both rolled 13 on their dice, Yvane would win because his increased roll equals 17 (+4) . Further, if Yvane rolls anything from 16 to 20, he gets a critical success (and not a fumble). Right...so our friendly Knight from above...Knight A: 2 (+13) 15. Doesn't the 7-20, he gets a Critical success? given in the example above or does this only apply to modifiers and not to the plus granted from greater than 20. I am not trying to beat a dead horse here but trying to make sure that when I come to the table, I explain this correctly to my crit happy or unhappy knights., depends which side of the blade you're on. No matter what I will put before my group and discuss, and we will come to an agreement hopefully that everyone can enjoy! Thanks again for responses, wasn't sure anyone cared about these kinds of questions.
  3. This question (pendragon 5.2) came up recently and I want to verify my response as a GM. Knight A = Sword skill=33 Knight B= Sword skill=17 A rolls a 2! (+13) =15 but is a critical success. (Critical 8-20) B rolls a 16= success, but higher than A. If I understand the rules correctly, this cancels out the critical, to a partial success which allows for shield protection for A. B rolls damage. That is how I played it, but there were grumbles among the knights at the table. They insisted that a critical "always hits". i have reviewed the rules and feel like this is the correct call. So, the question is...was it the right call? Any response welcome. thanks...
