BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Since this is already kind of in the same ballpark could we maybe fix “Rolling X Fight Dice in the Die Roller, where X is equal to 5 minus the number of results kept in all previous steps” as well so it matches the first one?

@trapdoorspyder i dont see the problem here? that wording is necessary to make sure u can’t keep a die and then reroll it later in the same fighting action! that would get weird and complicated

Does this make Finishing Moves easier or impossible?

Throwing the same number of dice but lowering the bar for landing a Punch/Kick/etc would be easier to work with, I think.

@kevan good catch! edited to clarify the intent of finishing moves being easier to accomplish. maybe they ought to have the option to contain a Miss removed, tho

> u can’t keep a die and then reroll it later in the same fighting action! that would get weird and complicated

I actually think getting to reroll dice you previously kept would be better. It would let you, for example, keep a taunt to cancel out a future miss.

7 is too many.

I’d prefer to keep it at five dice but add other combos and scoring options. If five dice is good enough for Yahtzee, it’s good enough for wrestling.

I would also question the “this is absurd” (and Josh’s “Has anyone successfully hit anyone yet” on Discord a few hours ago) - we’ve had twelve Fight actions taken so far, and three of those resulted in a hit. And a lot of the misses were people pushing their luck to score more points with Leaps, but failing, which was their call - Josh, Darknight and Trapdoor could all have scored a triple-Kick if they’d kept the Kicks instead of the Leaps.

@Kevan I didn’t push my luck and ended getting the first real point for my team!

for now, though I’ll probably reverse this if “Mixing It Up” reaches quorum first.

Noting that we’ve since had seven more Fights, four of which were successful hits.

very parochial of me but there it is!
