Tactical house rules?

Post by venger » Wed Oct 09, 2013 7:03 pm

Are there any house rules for "Tactical" type combats for use with TOR?
Several of my players have inquired about adopting house rules for using tactical moves on a battle map.

Not sure what you mean here- I like the fact that Combat Stances are just a 'state of mind' for the PC's-gives a lot of flexibility of choice for players, and I like the idea of 'easier to hit and be hit' concept. As I have said before in another topic, the really critical aspect of combat in TOR is to hold the initiative (acting first is critical), and secondly to act together as a true Fellowship ( thus utilising actions such as Initimidate Foe etc.) Smart players will soon realise these aspects.

Thanks for the reply.

The guys were asking about tactical type rules where you move your tokens on a battle map, flanking, rear attacks, typical tactical rules as per merp or d&d

I remember someone posting on the old forums about something they were working on.
It's no biggie, I don't really want to tweak the system heavily.
