Combat Information and Profiles
Hey all
Someone, I think it was either Oggy or Cloth Frog, did this for the first time in the 50 Fathoms game when it was first started. I think it is a good idea, and allows the player to track the information as if he were sitting in front of hi character sheet.
In the second line of the player's profile, the player could have the following information.
P:8 T:8 W:1 F:0
At a glance for combat, we could see that the player has a parry of 8, Toughness of 8, a single wound (giving a -1 to all rolls) and no fatigue points.
It would be easier on any GM, as well as the players, to provide this information up front. Sure it gives away a little information, but nothing you wouldn't see at a table.
What do you think?
