Playtest Base Mechanics

[knavesandsaves]

The base mechanics and character sheets need playtesting. Here's what will be tested in this playtest:

• Character sheets (form, function, etc)
• Base mechanics (normal rolls, disadvantage, advantage, etc.)
• Taking wounds
• Healing wounds
• Handling roles and hunting
• Small encounters (fights, verbal conflicts)

A playtest on November 11th showed the base mechanics to be serviceable. The degrees of effect don't provide the sort of definition and ease of explanation for narrative events I would have liked at the table. The extremely low and high ones do, but the middle-ranged degrees do not. As there wasn't a lot of rolling, I'm going to guess it needs more time before I can make a decision about it.

And even if the middle-ranged degrees all end up being "normal" in practice, having those discrete degrees will prove useful elsewhere, such as hit locations and damage severity.
