Re: Revised Supers! - Fighting Thread
That is exactly what we thought too... until we playtested it. Now I have one player who will not run it any other way.

That being said, I intend to give this a try sometime soon. Maybe I'll feel differently then.
Best,

Re: Revised Supers! - Fighting Thread
I honestly have to give it a shot and see for myself. Another good excuse to have a game! :-)

Re: Revised Supers! - Fighting Thread
One of the things I do not like about the way combat is handled is the 2x the lower roll is 2d damage, 3 times is 3D damage, etc. Don't get me wrong, I like the progressive increase in damage, and I like the logic of it, what I do not like is that it is a multiple instead of a set number.
by using multiples of the lower roll it makes it too difficult to damage more powerful characters, even with really powerful attacks. In the RAW to do 2D of damage against a 2D defense you need on average about a 4D attack to double it. But to do 2D damage against a 4D defense you need an 8D attack. That just does not seem right to me given the higher dice values represent super power level things and therefore each additional die actually represents a greater, not lesser, increase in power potential compared to, say, going from 2D to 3D. If it is power vs. mundane Ability or Resistance roll, it is less of an issue with the RAW since only the highest 3 rolls are used, but when it is power vs. power, like energy blast against armor, then you do have this issue.
I am going to playlet the. 6 points higher option based on the previous discussion for doing things like disarming, tripping, etc a foe.
In other words, for a regular attack, beating the opponent by 1-5 points is 1D of damage, 6-10 is 2D of damage, etc.

Re: Revised Supers! - Fighting Thread
Sounds reasonable. Possibly something that can be talked about in the RED (Revised EDition) as an option.
