New idea for a Virtue or Cultural Blessing or something...

Post by Glorelendil » Sun Sep 27, 2015 12:14 am

It seems that if you utterly obliterate an enemy that should be rather intimidating to the poor sod's friends. I could see that being a Virtue for Slayers (presuming that callings ever get their own virtues, or you are playing with houserules to that end.)

Not sure exactly what it would look like, but something along the lines of: "When you attack an adversary who is at full endurance and kill him with both a Wound and a Great Success or better, you get to immediately attempt an Intimidate Foe combat task on the same turn."

Options:
- Leave off the part about full endurance
- Require Gandalf instead of Wound
- Require Forward Stance
- Require Extraordinary instead of Great Success
- Change it to a bonus if you use Intimidate Foe on your next turn
- Extraordinary required for Defensive Stance, Great for Open Stance, and any one-shot kill in Forward Stance (but would probably have to just be a minor bonus to Intimidate if you use that action on the following round.)
- Make the attempt with as many success dice as your Awe skill or the Attribute Level of the victim, whichever is higher.

Or something. Details could be debated, but what do you think of the premise?

I like it. Should definitely work against foes that have the same or lower attribute level as the minced-one.

Oh, that's a good idea, especially if it's a free extra action.

Overall I like the idea of giving each Calling a Virtue (or Reward) of their own.
Tale of Years for a second, lower-level group (in the same campaign).

Oops this should have been in House Rules. I'll start a new thread there on the topic.

Are you going to open that new thread in the HR subforum?
