Does anyone want to clue me in on why you would ever use a zweihander when you could just buy a spear?

>>52268780
It does a lot of cutting damage and is therefore really good at Breaking, and the only thing it's bad at is thrusting. A better question is, if you wanted a good cutting weapon, what would be better than a zweihander? Remember that 2H Sword is basically the strongest proficiency.

>>52268780
Uhh, in-game? Because it's a sword, which gives you lots of maneuvers Spear doesn't get. It's great for cutting, which works well with power attacks and flourishing drills. Your question is backwards, you should be asking why you'd use a spear instead of a zweihander.

We need a waifumancer. A foppish sop obsessed with all these rough women with their wild ways. He chases, always, Gizka and Eskarne, Joan and the Pontifatrix, and the Moon, too. His hunt has no end, and he can never rest, but he is glad. He knows he is on the path of virtue.

>>52271010
No, no, he certainly shouldn't have anything resembling martial skill. Of course this shouldn't shake his rock-solid confidence in his ability. He's read manuals. Lots of manuals.

>>52270729
Hips currently have 7/5/5 From the Layering of Mail, Mail, and Quilt. Lower Head is only 4/3/3.

I'd swap the Quilted Coat for a Heavy Quilted Shirt. Same Weight, you don't need the Textile on your knees and shoulders, and it makes your hips 7/5/6 with 9 AVP against non firearm missiles.

Cut the Mail Coat to a Mail Shirt, to lose 1 Weight, You've got Mail Leggings as well so you won't lose any Layer on the Legs. From there get a Mail Camail and a Quilted Coif, same amount of weight, but now your Lower Head is 6/4/5, or, if your GM allows it, a quilted Helm under the Sallet for 6/5/6 on the Lower Head.

>>52270970
Your mother is stupid, not Zellish Guts.

>>52271143
Also with the Camail you gain Layer on your Gorget as well.

>>52275342
>>52275366
I've seen plenty in museums, but how often were they actually used in combat? Patas always struck me as decidely impractical and more suited to being a ceremonial item or oriental curio (hence the popularity with collectors) than for battlefield use.

>>52275342
+10 Fisting

>>52275640
I understand why you would think that but most of the weapons from India have that odd feel and they did get used. There is also a large number of patas that are very bland looking making ceremonial use less likely. Even the Muslim eventual started to use them so it seems more likely that even though they might not have been widespread they cant just be written off as a joke weapons.

>>52275815
Interesting, do you have any good examples of use?

Who wielded Patas and in what battlefield role?

>>52275975
Its pretty hard to find stuff in English but there are records of it being used in the siege of Gujarat and it being in general use during much of the mughal period. I don't have more time right now but found a number of articles of historical battle records that mention them and will check them tomorrow and post my findings.

I don't mind if it's a foolish man even. Hell, it doesn't even have to be human, I just want some examples for the nobles. Like, I assume that a Minor Noble is like a knight, but what about the rest?

>>52279089
Minor Noble is a knight or landless noble. Landed Noble is a baron or maybe a count. High Noble is something like a Duke. Royalty is a king, and High Royalty is a big king or maybe an Emperor. They're really loose categories.

Acshualllyyyy the Soldier average is 4

Attributes are made with the idea of pre-modern human averages, dudes who did a lot of running, jumping, walking.
You fat basement dwelling types would probably have attributes of 2~3 with the odd 4 or 5

5~8 would be attributes for people who have done intense training towards a specific thing, and the 7~8's being people who are extremely gifted in them.
i.e. The Mountain probably has 6 or 7 STR

Really anything with an attribute higher than 6 is a cartoon character

we are still in process of creating character sheets, and one of my players is playing the 'party face', he has the famous boon and managed to get 11 CHA. is this viable or did he screw up somehow?

im going to investigate now that you mention 6 is a sort of max.

>>52284778
Base attributes can't be higher than 8

but Charisma is a compound attribute [wil+per+wit]/2

So it is possible to get 11 base Charisma at character creation, then further advance it w/ helmet crests or beautiful, or famous or whatever.

I'm just saying that the intended power level was 4 is for average active humans who do things.
The game does break down a bit when you can wound through plate at 1BS

>Hips currently have 7/5/5 From the Layering of Mail, Mail, and Quilt. Lower Head is only 4/3/3.

Quilted doesn't layer on it's own. Layer only applies when something superior is being used. Mail wouldn't layer twice.

At best I think it'd be 6/5/3. 4+1 AVP from quilted being layered.

Is there a song of swords, and, if so, who has done the best cover?

Eh. I'd say 2007 was the real cutoff if you want to go by time, but behavior and knowledge are the real indicators.

>>52289855

The time cutoff is 2008 with Chanology, but being 'new' means less of literally being new and more of not acting like sheer cancer.

>tfw don't even remember when you started browsing the chan

>>52290762
Sorry newfag it's 2006. 2007-2008 is when the web became shittier thanks to the rise of smartphones, social media, etc.

>>52290906
That's why 2008 is the cutoff for being a newfag? You're proving my point. 2007 - 2008 is when the internet started really consolidating and by 2008 it was where we are now, so that's why it's 'newfags'. Plus, 2007 didn't see any real massive influx like Chanology. Personally I can't really see the difference between Newfag and Cancer. Didn't this chart used to have 2011-2012 as "Cancer" and 2012-2014 as Reddit or something?

>>52290906
Yep... 2007/08 was the beginning of the end of the WWW golden age. Eternal September on a global scale.

a bunch of nerds with no rhythm or musical skill trying that?

Question: I'm working on a homebrew that welds SoS style wounds to oldschool D&D style stats and general rules systems.
Two questions: How badly does making the default toughness 0 fuck everything up?
And how many points would you have to roll over a target number on a d20 to equal one bonus success? I was thinging every 2 points (10%) would be a good enough approximation without going mad with dice pool probabilities.

So im having some issues wrapping my head around schools and proficencies.
I am making a human minor noble as a first charachter. I wanted big armor and polearms ala pic related.
Minor noble gives some nice boons and enough cash to deck myself out nicely. Now the school is where i lose it. I have 9 PCP dedicated to Prof (if this is an error for combat charachters i can tweak it a bit) i took noble school for amrored and i pay 2 for base. I paid 2 for my prinary (polearm) then 1 in 1h sword and grapple (back up). So that is 6 points down and 3 left over. Now as i level this do i need to pay 4 points to level up once each time. Is it split between all 3 so each lvls differently. Or does it all count as 1 proficency and i pay 1 point apiece.

>>52291536
>How badly does making the default toughness 0 fuck everything up?
Without changing STR or any other rules? Any punch becomes crippling level 4 wound or fatal head explosion.
>And how many points would you have to roll over a target number on a d20 to equal one bonus success?
It doesn't work that way. This system is based around dice pools, single rolls emulate it very badly. TRoS family is one of the proofs that dice pools are superior to d20.

>>52291613
>I have 9 PCP dedicated to Prof
Use related CP instead. In your case 9PCP buys you 24 CP for Proficiencies and Schools.

Can someone please give me the best way to tackle the arseload of maneuvers in this game? There are far too many to learn, are there a few that are particularly good for a 2H Sword/Spear user?

>>52292420
List the ones that come up in the confines of you proficiency.

Run a few fights between mirrored combatants starting with just the basics then the tier 1 and then the tier 2's like your learning a fighting game. As you play you'll see why some manoeuvres exist and what situation you want to reach for them in.

>>52291613
human's racial bonus reduces each weapon's proficiency cost, so instead of paying 6 you only need to pay 3, after that you level up the whole school and each one of the profs get a +1, but I have only read the beta rules a couple of times so I might be wrong

Can anyone explain me how to do a 2vs1 combat or a big melee with more than 2 guys fighting? does the combat pool refresh at the end of each phase, round, individual combat?

>>52292607
Alright I'll try that out, thanks

>>52293291

With the newer Ballad style combat rules, we don't know. Jimmy didn't playtest them, he just copied what he wrote from Ballad and called it a day. So you'll have to wing it.

>>52288061
If he's wearing two instances of mail over the same area, it would later with itself.

>>52293048
Do melee combat, two exchanges, at the end of every phase, with all participants. Refresh at the top of the next phase.

This here, is what's reduced by one thanks to the Human Racial Trait Willing to Learn. Your school at level one costs 2+2+1+1+0+0+0 or 6.

Now you have the following
>Noble School - 1
>>Polearm [Primary]
>>Grappling [Secondary]
>>1H Sword [Secondary]

To raise this school to rank 2, it costs 1 as you may or may not be able to see from my picture and you gain a Novice Talent that is associated with that school.

9PCP in Proficiency gives you 24 points to spend, so you're sitting at 17/24 points spent at this juncture.

>>52292420
Hopefully Opaque will create lists like I am about to.

Start with the Basics:
Swing, Thrust are your basic attacks
Block, Parry, Void are your basic defenses
That's all you need to play at first.

Add the following for the next layer of complexity: Orientation Moves or Color Moves: Beat, Flee, Closing Void, Dart Out, Total Block

Next layer: Special attacks and defenses: Riposte, Butt-Strike, Pommel Strike, Joint Thrust, Hook, Hew, Break, Disarm offense, Disarm defense, Shield Beat, Shield Bind

Next layer: Simultaneous moves: all the simultaneous moves

Next layer: Niche usage moves & weapon modifications: Steal Initiative, Quickdraw, Halfsword, Murder-Strike

Next layer: Trickey: Feint, Shield Feint, Blind-Toss

Next layer: Subsystems: Unarmed: all unarmed maneuvers. Note they don't make any sense with TZMs; their built-in activation costs came before TZMs were created

Next layer: Subsystems: Hilt Push: Hilt Push stuff

Next layer: Subststems: Grappling: be sure to use the grappling in either the LaTeX version or the October 2015 grappling update. Do not use the one in regular v1.9.9. It's worse.

Next layer: Subsystems: Mounted: all mounted maneuvers

That should cover most maneuvers in the game. If I missed any see where they fit.

Jimmy says Schools are the #1 thing that are being completely rehauled now that the Kickstarter is over. Everyone is confused by them at first.

>>52295462
I don't get it, what is reduced by the human trait "Willing to Learn"?
Should I just wait for the new rules before trying to run a very short campaign?

>>52295674
You want to make a noble school right?
So you pay base cost of 2.
Then 2 per primary proficiency you add
Then 1 per secondary proficiency you add
And you also buy the proficiency core for each single proficiency you add regardless whether primary or secondary, which is what the image in the other anons post shows. As a human you reduce the cost of the proficiency core by one.
So as a non-human you would pay as follows for a noble school with 1 primary and 2 secondary proficiencies:
2 base cost + 2 primary proficiency + 2 * 1 secondary proficiency + 3 * 1 proficiency core = 9 Proficiency Points

as a human you would drop the "3 * 1 proficiency core" cost

Hoped that helped a bit

You can use Talents even if you don't meet the prerequisites with your current Proficiency, if the Proficiency satisfying the prerequisite is in the same School as your current Proficiency

I've thought of this too, the idea of trying to do some fancy flourish rapier-esque nonsense with a flail-

Yet not all talents are things you do with a weapon and are things you could do regardless if you were holding a dagger, sword, axe etc

i.e. juggernaut, Stern, Spartan Sole, Roll with It

The whole thing is a pretty big weak point. People have trouble with schools even after making a few of them.
