Welcome to Gaia! ::

Brilliant idea and I like that better than my own.

@ Phaeton: I think that the other player would account for the damage. If he took on too much damage, he wouldn't be able to keep attacking.
(and if he did, then we would have to reprimand him/her).

But what would happen if someone defended and someone attacked?

Defender- 55

Attacker-51

Would the difference be void?

Or should we have defense points as well?

What if it was the other way around? Even though the defense lost, he was still putting up a shield or something, which means the full force of the attack didn't affect him.

Well this kinda puts me at odds.

My one non-neutral character is a berserker. It's only a standard variation from the barbarian type but even regular barbarians don't really worry about defense, they usually rage and flail away with reckless abandon.

Also, what about all those spellcasters running around?

First person= a
Second person= b

A attacks with a roll of 55, B defends with a roll of 67.
55-67= -12

A then attacks again, rolls a 64, B attacks with a roll of 54.
64-54=10 but with he parry damage from the defend from last time.
10-12= -2. A takes 2 damage. >.>

It could also work with the Parry wins the roll as well. Let's say B won the second roll as well as the first.
65-78= -12 so. The Second person would have 12+12 for a total of 24 damage that turn.

Does it make any sense? >_> Or only to me x.x

Because B last the second attack. So B would take damage, but the Parry subtracts damage that B takes and the excess is what A takes as damage.

That fourth set of subtraction is for if B did more damage than A on the second move. I probably should of seperated it with a space. o.o;

Ya, cause if A only had 100 Hitpoints... he/she jsut lost 1/4th of his/her's health o.o;

Recap.

1. Every class has different amounts of health due to class/job. Base health is at 100, and is added upon.
2. Roll 10 ten-sided dices. Both attackers do. The difference is subtracted, and the damage is done to the one who rolled the lowest.
3. Parry damage is added if someone defended on the last round of rolls, if the defender won that round. That difference is added to the next roll and calculated as part of that attack. If the Defender while defending, nothing is added to the next round.

Anything else?

HP Wise... I think we should all start off with 100 HP at the festival. Make it more even, and then add and subtract when we use it for the actual war...
