[X] Wake it up to fight

I think this? Just killing while it sleeps may not be nid or odreng but it feels disrespectful. It's also probably not sapient, but if it is that'd be murder morally...if we wake it up and it's smart it'd behave differently.

@Imperial Fister I assume this still allows us to assign new Alloys or otherwise do fight prep in advance?
 
Hmmm. This is just a benchmarking thing, but @Imperial Fister how much xp can be expected to be spent on Prowess among NPCs? What's the 'average' Prowess?

I was spitballing and thinking about as much xp into it as they put into their highest Martial Style or, at really high end once those cap out, somewhat less than they have on Combat. Does that sound right? That's about what Halla has with Martial Styles at 7 and Prowess 9.

With half the population being 15 or younger, it tends to skew averages pretty heavily. I don't even know myself, honestly. I guess, if half of xp is spent on combat in general, like, a third of that'll be in prowess, maybe? I dunno

That's why my theorizing was based on things like how much they have spent on other stuff rather than an actual number. If it's 'less than they spend on Combat' then I can whip up a vague chart based on Combat Skill, for instance. I will say that 1/3 seems too high, though given how many other things there are to spend for in combat even ignoring Hamr and Hugr (Combat Skill, Tricks, Martial Styles, Hugareida)...if all four of those were even, it'd be more like 1/5...and I suspect Combat usually gets more investment than the others.

And what about a Training Items? Those have been abstracted somewhat, but whether they're even possible for Prowess is relevant.

No training items for prowess, I'll say

I'll add another 6 to those CedeTheBees rolled.

EDIT: Wow. That's 17 successes on the dice. 31 total with Tactics and Frenzy. That's, uh, rather absurd.
DeadmanwalkingXI threw 6 6-faced dice. Reason: Tactics Total: 31

    (Tactics: 31 Successes)

    The bear yawns as you tap it on the shoulder. As it rises to its claw-tipped feet, licks of flame ignite on the ends of its hair as it turns its maw your way. Big bear eyes widen as it spots a quartet of heavily armed and armored warriors standing in its home.

    Its roar would have ruptured the eardrums of lesser men, but you're made of sterner stuff than that.

    With you being closest, it's going to go after you first. If you leap away or otherwise dodge, it'll target the apparent weakest link: Alvis. At first glance, it seems capable of wielding fire in a variety of different ways including, but not limited to, hardened fire reminiscent of Stoker State. With the way its fire grows and shrinks as it breathes, it may very well be somewhat similar...

    Physically, it's far stronger than you are. With eight limbs, it'll be able to strike out many times at once, each time dealing potentially significant damage. Its fur is thick and its skin is tough and leathery, it won't be easy to carve through such strength.

    Endurance: (18/18) | Frenzy: (8/8) (+8 to all Combat Rolls) | Armor: (8/8) (+1 to Defense Rolls)
    Orthstirr: (63/63) | Odr: (39)
    ( ) Frami: 20 | ( ) Virthing: 20 | ( ) Saemd: 19
    Your Combat Dice Pool for Basic Moves is 8d6

    What do you do?
    [ ] Plan Name
    -[ ] Goal: Write in
    -[ ] Tricks: Write in up to Capacity (12)
    -[ ] Orthstirr: Write in

    AN: Alright, it's time to test out this system proper.

    Oh boy.

    No moratorium as it is quite late.
