You suffer a setback die for every action you take during this combat.

if so, I make an engaged attack. If I still have a maneuver left before my attack, may I aim to gain a boost die?
That was simply describing its attitude it is still considered to be at short range to you.
Fair enough, I'm gonna safely assume Tox's bola/net is gonna do nothing here. Beast is likely too large.
As such, Tox will use her maneuver to flank it and move into engaged range, where she shall attack it using her vamblades.
i have never used two weapon combat before, do these count as two or one? I feel like I can use them as either one or two, based on rules in DC48. If so, I apologize, can someone help me figure out dice pool?
edit: already used my maneuver. Will use my action to flank said beast, suffer two strain to attack. Is that right?
Edited by Mattimeo84I want to say that if they are two weapons of the same type you increase the difficulty one and it's two advantage to hit with the second blade.
If they're considered one weapon but are thematically a pair then it should just be a normal check.

Just reread the duel attack section. This was my understanding as well.
Thus I think it's 2eA+2eP+2eD.
Upgraded engaged difficulty due to duel weapons.

Remember that if you're using a second maneuver to close the distance it will cost you 2 strain.
You can choose to attack once with them as a pair, or once with each blade. If you attack only one time the difficulty will be at a base of 2. If you attempt to attack with both blades separately the difficulty goes to three and you will need 2 Advantage in order to do damage with the second blade.
For Melee attacks the low gravity will add a setback. Also there is a setback from the threat from earlier.
+2eD+2eS one combined attack
+3eD+2rD two weapon attack.

I'm not sure where you got those numbers from for your dice butt when you are dual wielding you increase the difficulty not upgrade it.

I'm ok with strain. I am ok with the dual setbacks, but I thought the threat for me was two strain. If im mistaken, it's past midnight, hence my confusion. Not trying to be a pain, I promise.

I did increase difficulty... 1eD for engaged + 1eD for dual. If base engaged is 2eD, then dual is 3eD. Is this incorrect?
Just saw where all melee (brawl) attacks are average. Man, my local GM is wacky.

The strain you suffered was from the fear. You may also suffer two more to do a second maneuver and close the distance. The previous combat turn, when S'zish failed his Perception check l used one of those Threat to add a setback to the next players action.
Base difficulty for a melee/brawl attack is 2. You were probably looking at the ranged attack difficulty table.
It is late. I am tired. If you want to make a roll tonight I will review it in the morning.
Cheers folks
Sorry, I agree with everything you just said.
Leeeeeeeroy Jenkins! (Dual)
:
2eA+2eP+3eD+2eS
2 successes, 1 threat
Noticed I forgot to add 1 boost due to Accurate 1. I can reroll everything or just boost.
Roll the boost die extra
Oooo, it's all so exciting! XD

At least you have a local GM. This is the first game I've been in for a year.
He's great, and there are three noobs at the table (myself included), so I'm giving him a lot of credit, teaching is when important and house ruling somethings till we are ready for it.
My inexperience shows though.
Gotta start somewhere.
This is technically my first game of EoTE, cause I am the local GM ;_;
Actually playing is pretty **** great XD
I only get to play 5e ;_;
I've DM'd a 5e game for some freinds for a while but it fell apart due to IRL demands. That was the last thing I layered a year ago. I was in an EotE game about 3.5 years ago and really liked the system. Unfortunately my GM had to move and I have to away from home for several months so that came to a close. I finally took the plunge to try PbP and I think I got pretty lucky.
5e?
I have my write up ready for this encounter. I believe my successes all mean additional points of damage and my threat equals a point in strain? If so, I hit for 9 damage. Gained a total of 5 strain (of 13) with this attack, yikes. No advantages mean no additional modifiers land.
I know what I am spending my XP on next. I need more dice in brawn to negate the extra die imposed by melee.

Sounds like a fine summary of the attack. I look forward to reading the post.

btw, You damage it but do not incapacitate it.

I figured as much, unlikey a beast that scary looking had health and soak less than or equal to 9.

Dungeons and Dragons, 5th edition.
Nice hit. 9 damage is on part with a blaster rifle. Good write up too, Bill.
