Cumulative Parry Penalty Reduction House Rules
So I'm messing with house rules for cumulative parry penalty reduction and I figured I'd check to see what other people are doing. What house rules (including modifications of optional rules such as Martial Arts fencing parries modifications, parrying with two-handed weapons or A Matter of Inches' weapon weight rules) is everyone using/have used, what are/were the rationales behind them and how do/did they work out?

What kinds of changes did you have in mind? Nerfs or buffs?

Re: Cumulative Parry Penalty Reduction House Rules
Maybe you could specify what problem you're trying to fix...? I've never had a problem with the Basic + MA rules for multiple parries.

Re: Cumulative Parry Penalty Reduction House Rules
Then don't post in a thread compiling house rules for them, unless to comment on previously posted house rules. No specifications I could make would suddenly cause other people to have house rules. I'm interested in compiling other peoples' house rules regarding multiple parries not asking how to solve a problem.

Re: Cumulative Parry Penalty Reduction House Rules
In the Initiative houserule I've been working on, there are no penalties for multiple defenses. Instead, it costs Initiative Points to defend, and you can opt to take a penalty to spend fewer. Defending against multiple attacks per second at full skill would likely mean you'd never be able to do anything else (as you'd probably spend IP faster than you generate it), and if the attacks persist for too long, you'd eventually have to reduce skill to keep IP at or above 0.
As it's meant to be used alongside (a modified form of) The Last Gasp, you'll probably run out of AP while you're at it... |
