Activity % and the 10 second round

[Archlyte]

Rolemaster is the only system that I've played that really makes me respect combat and the damage you can take. The first game I played in with FG was after many years of not playing and I forgot how you really need to think about the tactics. I volunteered to be the guinea pig by sitting alone at a campfire while 4 or 5 orcs came at me. The rest of the party was waiting to ambush them but they were going to be using ranged attacks. A round or two before they got to me I realized my mistake and by then it was too late. I went as defensive as I could and still came away with a broken hip. I was much smarter after that by doing my best to limit the opponents options and waiting for the best opportunity. No other system makes me worry about fighting like Rolemaster. I like that fact.

Yeah that is awesome

If you after a system with non linear damage check out my Extinction Event ruleset (shameless plug) It is free and you can find it in the wiki.

Down side it is geared for a modern setting, but hey never know it might be your cup of tea.

At first I could not tell if he was serious or not, it seemed the video was a mockumentry, however the more I watched I realised it wasn't and he boy has skill. I main issue is most archers were not skilled but boys plucked from farms and used in the back lines. Atleast in the European theatre. It gos to show why the Europeans used tower shields int he middle east.

What can I say... he's a Dane . We are awesome. Good old Lars.

[damned]

the point of this is that he is a specialist and has trained at this for many years and obviously has some talent for it too...
the vast majority of archers are part time at best and would not have anything remotely resembling this skill.

this guy is like the film version of Legolas.

I didn't see him walking on snow or boarding down stairs on the back of a shield. Maybe that's the next video.

Well, it's obvious he took "Subconscious Preparation". :-)

Yeah that was an incredible display of archery. After getting over my amazement, I couldn't help but think does he even have a job?!? It just seemed like it would take too many hours in the day to get to that level of expertise.

Not to worry; some adventuring party will hire him on for a half share.
