[Rq-rules] Re: Discussion of RuneQuest rules

[Lev Lafayette]

Lets see...

At best, ten would be able to attack simultaneously,
(front, front-left, front-right, left, right,
left-flank, right-flank, rear with perhaps two making
a flying leap onto it's back to try to weigh it down?.

Assume that these midgets are SIZ 6, STR 8 (which
seems fair), have 8 hit points, and do 1d3 per attack
at 15% and no armour. We can also assume that they are
insane and don't have to make a POW*1 check to engage
in such an action.

Assume the lion has STR 29, 19 total hit points, 2
point fur, and does 1d8+2d6 damage (claw) at 62% and
1d10+2d6 bite three strike ranks later at 52%.

I count that on average that at least one midget per
round will go down very permanently. Three midgets
every two rounds will hit, and one of those will do a
point of damage. On average the lion will win.

I am quite nuts to have actually checked this.

All the best,


Lev
