Proposal: Tooth and Claw

Fails 2-5—Clucky

Adminned at 17 Apr 2016 15:56:02 UTC

To the rule “Creatures”, add:-

As a Daily Communal Action, an Orc may select two different Creatures at random, from those which are not Dead, and announce in a blog post that these two Creatures are fighting one another. Upon doing so, each of these Creatures loses Health equal to the Strength of the other: if this causes one (and only one) of the Creatures to become Dead, then the Dead Creature’s Loot is transferred to the other Creature.

Interesting. Specially in the case that them both dies. But I’ll leave this up to Overlord.  imperial

This very likely reduces to timing and who can be online to get a monster to finish killing the dragon, right?  imperial

An interesting rule, but I’m a bit iffy about it. Still, once a day doesn’t seem too abusable. imperial

It’s probably just a matter of not leaving creatures within killing range after you’re done fighting them, which is the sensible sort of thing to do anyway. After all, someone else gets to distribute the loot if leave the last attack open for the taking.

If this does pass, we’ll probably just end up using it once a day to weaken the dragon, and no doubt it’ll amass quite the horde.

against this just seems like it will be bouncing stuff off the dragon until it is near death
