Tizun Thane Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 1 hour ago, Oleksandr said: Though you are right, for lone dagger +1 or +2 seems more appropriate, but i think sword+dagger should provide +4. Keep the rules simple. A +2 with a dagger, why not, but a +4 is too much. From a designer's perspective, the sword+shield should be the best defensive combo for a knight.

SDLeary Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I can certainly see improvised items providing some defense. One or two points for a wrapped arm, perhaps more for a chair, which will only last a blow or two. For Shields, I generally use the values from PDP: 12 points for Large (with a -5 to skill), and 9 for Common (medium). I then extrapolate out to 6 for Buckler. I also allow 6 point parries for Swords, thus 4 points for a dagger (an actual 14-16in blade or so dagger, not an oversized kitchen implement) seems about right.

Call Me Deacon Blues Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 In regards to Parry value of a dagger, on I wanna say the Discord, David Larkins said that when wielding two weapons, you raise the Parry value by like, 1 I think? Something like that. So yeah, while a dagger by itself has no Parry value, wielding sword and dagger together DOES raise the Parry value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said in 21/10/2010: "As for wielding two weapons, the new rule is simple: if you are wielding a one-handed weapon in your off-hand, you gain an additional Parry protection value of +2, unless the weapon in your main hand is a sword, in which case the additional value is +1. (So a hand axe and dagger, say, give you Parry +2, since hand axes normally have Parry 0; a sword and dagger, or sword and hand axe or whatever, would have Parry +4—+3 for the sword, additional +1 for the off-hand weapon. Still not quite as good as a shield, but close!)" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonThompspon Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I'm sure I'm missing something very obvious because previous posters have successfully played through the scenario, but where on the scenario map are Camelot and Sir Servause's hall?
