Message: <blockquote data-quote="Radiating Gnome" data-source="post: 982679" data-attributes="member: 150">I tried these out last night, and a simple chase lasted 30 rounds before the quarry got away.I need to add some rules about obstacles. Several times during the test chase, the quarry mamanged to create or clear obstacles that the pursuit was not able to clear -- this boosted the quarry's lead considerably, and that's fine, but at one point several obstacles were piling up -- the pursuit had failed to clear the first one when a second came up, etc. On the fly (me sitting at my dinner table alone, rolling dice, there was no one to argue rules with me) I decided that there needs to be another action -- a full round action -- called "find the way around" which clears all obstacles. That still slows the character down, but allows for a way around big roadblocks, and eliminates the problem of accumulated, uncleared obstacles.Other than that, I'm torn -- the chase didn't go on so very long in RL time -- a 3 minute chase, that went from the open (street) to close (department store) to open again, maybe wasn't too long in RL terms, but 30 rounds is a very long time in game terms -- and once the chase went back into the open again I was speeding things up and just using constitution and fort saves to decide it anyway. I need work some of it out -- nail down some details about what sort of actions the things I'm suggesting are, etc. Still in progress.-rg</blockquote>
