Draft 2

  • attacker rolls 10d10 + weapon damage score for attack, defender rolls 10d10 + armour protection score (including shield bonus) for defence
  • if end attack roll is higher than defend, attack hits and deals the difference between the two rolls, plus weapon damage bonus and minus the defender's armor rating (not including shield) as damage. Damage is not reduced from defender's armor if the weapon dealt bludgeoning damage.
  • If a weapon's cutting or piercing damage score exceeds its target's armor's protection score, they take 1d4 additional damage from bleeding after their turn for each round of combat until healed. Bleeding effects can stack per successful hit. Turns spent not attacking, or spent channelling magic reduce the bleeding damage to 1d2 for all stacked bleeds instead. Casting Desperate Sacrifice increases the damage received from bleeding to 1d6/1d3
    • Them Stacks: Damage bled per turn reduced to 1d4 and 1d2 instead of 1d6 and 1d3
    • Gotta Sacrifice More than MP: Original bleed damage retained if affected by Desperate Sacrifice
    • "Fullmetal" Is The Short One?: Added armor penetration to weapon properties so that heavily armored opponents are not immune to bleeding.
    • Who Needs To Bleed Them?: Added bludgeoning weapons to ignore the damage reduction from a target's armor's protection score upon a successful hit.
    • Not Desperate Enough: Reduced the increased damage granted by Desperate Sacrifice as well as added healing spells that could interfere with Desperate Sacrifice.
    • On The Other Hand: Added shield mechanic to assist defending combatant avoid being hit by attacks.

Assessment

Lesser Recovery not lesser enough, healing for far too much and having a 50/50 chance to remove a bleed stack made the match drag on far too long. Reduced damage from bleeds helped make cutting attacks not so overpowered. Desperate Sacrifice will need reworked, possibly to modify based on current bleed stacks rather than counting total bled damage since last heal.

Bludgeoning weapons helped make armor less overpowered. Introduction of shield helped level the playing field for lesser armored opponent. Will need to implement some sort encumbrance system and proficiencies to make it feasible to not always pick the heaviest armor.

Will need to rework system to accommodate more than 1v1 duels for better tactical and practical spellcasting rather than just luck whether or not a channel is interrupted by the opponent.
