The Heir of the Dragon: A Rhaenyra Targaryen Quest

Reader mode
I'm confused about the dice, are d14s being rolled because both characters rank 7? But why Rhaenyra rolls 4 and takes the 3 highest and Breakbones doesnt?

    Skills are rolled for many actions, especially when working against or competing with another character. Usually, that means rolling three dice of the same size, with the size being determined by the rank in the skill, which are summed up. Depending on circumstances, you may have a number of degrees of Advantage or Disadvantage for a roll. In that case, one extra dice is rolled per degree. When you have advantage, the lowest dice are dropped until only three are left, and with Disadvantage, the highest are dropped instead. Advantage and Disadvantage cancel each other out, so having two degrees of Advantage and one degree of Disadvantage for the same roll means in effect having one degree of Advantage.

    • I KNEW the way of the Stoned Fist was the way to go.

    Better to be stoned as all hell and doped on magic mystery steroids than be all wound up, stressed out and sleep-deprived.

    It's so Strongover for Harwin.
     
    Based on this system, someone Skilled will beat or tie a Master 10% of the time, and the same goes for an Expert against someone Perfect.

    Is that in line with where you would like things to be balance-wise?
