Proposal: Proposal: Injury protection

Failed, timed out, 5-5.  -E IX

As is, the higher GPS two dueling pirates of equal skill have the more likely they are to suffer an injury.  However, once a pirate gets skilled enough, he should be able to avoid an injury some of the time.

Replace the following text in the rule called “Duelling”:

If the victor beats the loser by ten points or more, then the loser sustains one Injury, rolled by whoever initiated the Duel.

with:

If the victor beats the loser by ten points or more, then whoever initiated the duel rolls DICEx, where x is 10 + the loser’s GPS.  If the result is less than 11, then the loser sustains one Injury, rolled by whoever initiated the Duel.

against  against COV, actually. High-GPS pirates are only going to be beaten by other high-GPS pirates, aren’t they?

against I don’t see a problem with high GPS vs high GPS duels being generally more dangerous than low GPS vs low GPS duels. High GPS versus Low GPS is still the most likly to result in an injury - for the lower skilled pirate.

What they said.  The better you are the more likely you’ll injure the other person.  If you’re fighting someone else really good, its likely you’ll be hurt.

Please note that even with this system, two GPS 10 pirates are more likely to injure each other than two GPS 3 pirates… I think.
