I hadn't honestly considered that, just went with my gut feeling without realizing I'd made a ruling on it until you asked, Engelhart. I feel that yes, <i>in the same round the overbearing attempt occurred</i>, the hex is not a melee hex ~ unless some other creature makes it so.<br /><br />However, once the beetle is active again (it's turn), then adjacent hexes don't count as melee hexes.<br /><br />So many possibilities ~ I'm still hammering out the system. However, the overbearing rules are new and Lothar's use of it just now is OFFICIALLY the first time ever.Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8556948024548592122.post-79287918210077410962016-12-15T17:51:20.562-08:002016-12-15T17:51:20.562-08:00Exactly.

Lothar's d...I made a mistake there, Engelhart.<br /><br />Lothar's dexterity is 14; Engelhart's is 12. Lothar therefore moves first in combat. This puts you in 0808, having used 1 AP, with an unknown number of AP left. Did you tell me how many AP you have? If so, I've missed it or forgotten it.<br /><br />Lothar is now in 0908, in front of you. You can move THROUGH Lothar's hex, into 1009, and attack the beetle from there, if you have 5 total AP. You can also climb into 0907, using 2 more AP to climb onto the matted sarcophagus, but your hammer is too short to attack from up there at a creature only 18 inches from the ground. You could throw your hammer from up there, or from 0808, or any other hex you could move to.<br /><br />Let me know what you decide ~ the previous d20 roll is discounted, as it never happened. So if you attack from a different position, roll the d20 again.Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8556948024548592122.post-60198578582585357792016-12-15T11:24:30.271-08:002016-12-15T11:24:30.271-08:00I don't want to risk breaking the bow (especia...I don't want to risk breaking the bow (especially with my luck with the dice recently), so I'll take the -3 to punch/kick the beetle back.

It isn't very far from home, I should be good to sort things out by 6:30 EST/11:30 Lisbon. You didn't say if you liked the figure, Engelhart].<br /><br />Engelhart's 12 misses. Rowan's dex check succeeds, he takes no damage but that's his round (he hasn't got his spear or club in hand right now). Aleksandra's 10 misses.<br /><br />Lothar seems on top of the overbearing rules. He's right, it takes 4 AP to overbear as he plans. His weight of 130 is more than three times that of the beetle, so he gets +7 to hit. That's a 17, which is enough to hit! I take it he rolled a d4 for overbearing damage, which results in a 1.<br /><br />He did not consider that he's clearly still holding his bow. This creates a quandary. He's either chosen to use his bow as a weapon (in which case, as the bow is flimsy for use as a club, I will need him to roll a d4 to see if it breaks), or he has chosen to use his fist/hands (in which case, he is technically -3 to his damage, according to pummelling rules).<br /><br />Which is it, Lothar? Use the bow, do damage, possibly break the weapon, definitely cause 1 damage ~ or use your fists and guarantee that you do no damage?<br /><br />In any case, the beetle is at least pushed back into 1008 and yes, you have 1 AP left to pick up your quarterstaff.<br /><br />Your choice?Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8556948024548592122.post-35316017289398822792016-12-15T10:17:20.408-08:002016-12-15T10:17:20.408-08:00Attack Roll: 11, modified by +1 for my agressivene...Attack Roll: 11, modified by +1 for my agressiveness against low-int creatures to a 12.<br /><br />Damage Roll: 6.Engelhart Askjellsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12717990998654139122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8556948024548592122.post-84184664245249039882016-12-15T09:51:19.449-08:002016-12-15T09:51:19.449-08:005 AP: walk 1010, 0910, 0810, 0709, 0609.
