[DT] Pools of Radiance (for now)

[Oedipussy Rex]

Ranged Weapons
I'm still working this out

Ranged Weapons cost 2 CP and the Target number increases as the distance increases. Weapons that can be missile or mêlée weapons require separate pools for each use.

Armor

Code:

Type     Defense
Leather     2
Scale       3
Banded      4
Chain       5
Brigandine  6
Plate       7

Changing this to either

Code:

Type     Defense
Leather     2
Scale       4
Banded      6
Chain       8
Brigandine  10
Plate       12

or

Code:

Type     Defense
Leather     3
Scale       5
Banded      7
Chain       9
Brigandine  11
Plate       13

Yep. Facing someone in Plate armor means having to combine dice to score a Wound or Hit. But that's ok. I'm thinking of giving Dragons a Defense of 20 or 25.

Shields
As with Ranged Weapons, I'm still working on this. Either shields provide bonus dice to a weapon's defense sub-pool or shields require a proficiency pool like weapons.

Shields require their own pool.

Strictly optional rule for a more deadly combat: 1s are removed from the weapon/shield pool. The dice are replaced after combat or if a rest is taken during combat. In the latter case, a further option of not eliminating Hits during the break can be made.
