Huskalator -> Armor bonus not working? (8/9/2003 7:50:29 AM) I had an armor bonus of +2 and I rolled a 1 in combat. Is this a bug or am I not understanding how the bonus works?

e_barkmann -> (8/9/2003 9:07:02 AM) Deep Breakfast, no, it's not a bug - if you look at the CRT information screen you will notice that there is an extension for +1 and +2 armour bonuses, eg a "7" and "8" dice roll. When the combat screen is displayed, the dice roll range is automatically "shifted" up one or two results (and a +1 or +2 shown next to the CRT display). so in your situation, if you had a +2, your dice roll was shown as rolled, but the actual results used were effectively using the 3-8 dice roll number range on the CRT information screen for that terrain type, so your "1" was actually a "3" result after modification. Make sense? Easy concept and I don't think I've described it very well :-) Chris

Huskalator -> (8/9/2003 10:58:23 AM) Let me see if I understand this. The table itself shifts up with the armor bonus so that the worst result shown in a combat with a +2 would be a 3 result on the normal table. Do I have that right?

e_barkmann -> (8/9/2003 11:01:10 AM) yes that's right, much more succinct way of putting it :-)

Jeff Lackey -> (8/18/2003 10:13:27 PM) Yep. the way to think about it is to think of how it would work if you were playing this as a board game - you would still use the same die, and so you would still roll a 1-6, then apply the bonus when looking up the results on the CRT.

BrubakerII -> (8/19/2003 4:15:34 PM) It is a very cool concept but perhaps the crt would be easier to understand if it showed all 8 results with the armour bonus interacting alongside to show which 6 results were being used? 2 cents. Brubaker
