Extra Effort Movement - Giant Step

OldSam · 06-05-2011, 08:56 AM

hi,
looking at the Extra Effort Option "Giant Step" from Martial Arts, I noticed - if I got that right - that it's restricted to Attack and Defensive Attack, isn't it?

I wonder if it would be balanced (and not unrealistic) to allow the players paying 1 FP to get one extra yard (field) of movement in their current turn, also when taking other maneuvers like Move or Move&Attack-Maneuver...? What do you think?

At the moment I don't really see why there would be much difference if someone pays 1 FP, makes a step, attacks and then steps again in comparison to someone who pays 1 FP, goes for Move&Attack and moves 1 step further.
Anyway I wouldn't allow that option to be used more than once in a turn.

edit: Sorry, I accidentally created this thread twice but maybe I can delete the other one somehow...?

I allow extra one move on extra effort in any action, but max 1/turn.

Thus you can do an extra step for maneuvers with a step or no move, or one extra movement for actions with move. The extra step also works for situations like retreating dodge/parry.

I have found that it adds a usefull option for both players and enemies.

I've also been allowing it. It's much harsher than Sprinting is, as far as FP spent is concerned, so I'm not too stressed over it.

I never really thought of it, but yeah, don't see any problem with it.

Only thing is that I would not allow someone to both spend FP on a Heroic Charge and on +1 Move. Not because it's unbalanced as such, but because I really like the simple "only one type of Extra Effort per action"-rule.
