[QUOTE="doghead, post: 1928574, member: 8243"] [b]Take 10?[/b] Can you take 10 in combat. I don't see why not. You aren't going to get the big hits, but won't get the low rolls either. Fighting defensively - Character may opt to use 1.5 times BAB but if they hit, they get no strike bonus to damage rolls. Full defense - Character may opt to use 2 times BAB but do not hit their opponent even if they win the engagement. So, back to Hoegruff and Haranna (assuming she has the shield) Round 2 Haranna elects to fight defensively, one strike. Hoegruff elects 2 strikes. Hoegruff 13 [8+2+3] vs Haranna 21 [18+3+0] - Haranna wins. * Haranna Attack: one strike at +0 (fighting defensively). * * Damage 3 [3+0+0] vs Soak 6 [3+2+1] - no wounds caused. Round 3 Haranna elects to fight defensively, one strike. Hoegruff elects 2 strikes. Hoegruff 16 [11+2+3] vs Haranna 16 [13+3+0] - no result. Round 4 Haranna elects to fight defensively, one strike. Hoegruff elects 2 strikes. Hoegruff 17 [12+2+3] vs Haranna 6 [3+3+0] - Hoegruff wins (+11). * Two strikes at +6/+5 * Block #1 - Strike 18 [12+6] vs 6 [3+2+1] - fails. * Block #2 - Strike 17 [12+5] vs 22 [19+2+1] - blocks. * * Damage 11 [3+3+6] - Soak [3] = 9 wounds * * Haranna has suffered 16 wounds and is Severly Wounded (-4 to rolls) I used Hoegruff's original to hit roll for the block attempts to speed things up. There were 5 rolls in total for the whole round: 2 x to hit, 2 x block, 1 x damage. A regular round would have 4 assuming both character hit: 2 x to hit, 2 x damage. Had Hoegruff called one strike, the +11 would have allowed him a shot at a critical. If Bypass Armour had been confirmed - Haranna would have suffered 17 wounds: Damage 17 [3+3+11] vs 0 Soak. Ouch. 24 wounds and Haranna is Dying. Whoops, forgot to include the -1 penalty from her previous wound. [/QUOTE]
