Proposal: Rules of War

Reaches 48 hours but has failed to reach quorum. Ends at 4-6 and is failed. -SingularByte

Add the following as a new rule to the ruleset called “Combat”:

Each Demiurge has an amount of Glory, which is a publicly tracked integer that defaults to 0.

Assaulting for N (where N is some integer) is an atomic action with the following steps:
- Reduce the Guardian’s Health by N.
- Gain N Glory.
- Provoke the Guardian

Add a subrule to “Combat” called “Counterattack” with the following text:

Provoking the Guardian is an atomic action with the following steps:
- Reduce your Health by 15.

If the Proposal “Badump” was enacted, replace the number “15” in the subrule “Counterattack” with “5 times The Heartbeat of Creation.”

 

Introducing an “Assault” mechanic.  I plan on expanding Counterattack in my next proposal (and someone should add a way to attack!) but this is just a simple proposal to get things started.

The Guardian feels a tad weak in this proposal to be honest. If it takes a beat each time to attack it (which I suspect it will), it would take literal real world months of you attacking it non-stop for you to actually die to counterattacks.

Yeah, that’s fair; I just didn’t want to start off with a super high number!  Going to edit this proposal and “Defense Mechanism” to make the guardian a bit more dangerous.

against Uh, there’s no ceiling on N under this writing, right? It doesn’t actually cost anything to make N infinite?

@Brendan This doesn’t actually let people take the Assault action yes.  Presumably, there would be some other rule that says (e.g) “as a daily action Demiurges may Assault for 5” or some variant thereof.

Thinking about things, it might be better if combat mechanics were more generalised rather than being highly specific to the sole enemy in the game.
