Preperation Rounds
« on: July 04, 2012, 10:23:19 AM »
Before each duel, character will have a number of prep rounds.  This is a category that can be selected by the underdog; or if he does not select it, it is random.

What should the range be?  It is currently 1-10.

Possible choices:

1-10
0-9
1-8
0-7
1-6
0-5
1-4
0-3
other

Thoughts?

I think we always need at least one so as not give too much advantage to the fighters but I don't think we should do more then 5 so we do not give too much advantage to the casters.  I would ideally love to see 1-3 but would be fine with 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, and 1-5.

I think there should be an option of 0 prep rounds. I like 1d6-1.

fine, start at 1.  And the underdog can choose up to 10 more.

Based on posts and conversations, I will set the max at 5 rounds.

The question remains: is the minimum zero prep rounds or one?

If we do a minimum of 1 then this will help to keep some of the underdogs from taking too much advantage of setting.  I am not sure if I like that or not.  I think though if I had to make a decision right now then it would be minimum of 1.

I am in agreement there, in theory, I like zero prep rounds, but in practice, I have to vote for a minimum of one.

So that's two votes for minimum of one and zero votes for minimum of none.

I think 0 would be fine, with a distance limit.

Are you saying 0 prep rounds is okay as long as the distance wasn't five feet to start?

Yeah, i'm thinking it's the only way for some people to have a chance.  0 prep is my vote.

So that's a vote for allowing zero prep rounds as long as you don't start in the opponent's threatened area (5 or 10 feet).

So we have three votes for a minimum of 1.

One vote for a conditional minimum of 0.
