Steve Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 An oddball question, I know. Two character have to compete in a three-legged race together as partners. How would this be done under the rules? They would not be able to use their full running speed, so maybe half speed? Would DEX checks be needed to avoid falling?

Scott Ruggels Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 co-ordination roll? 8 or less, and THEN roll for dex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd modify this slightly. Base move would be 1/2 their average move because a faster runner can drag a slower one along while supporting them. If the characters have Teamwork, use that. If not use DEX rolls. Take the average of what they make (or fail) their rolls by and add/subtract that to the base move that phase. If both fail on the same phase, both need to succeed at a DEX roll or they fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 I suppose relative STR might come into play. If there is 5-10 or more STR on one side, maybe the other party becomes increasingly irrelevant? Doc Democracy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If both fail on the same phase, both need to succeed at a DEX roll or they fall. I'd actually say if they don't both have Teamwork skill, their DEX roll with a slight penalty (say -1 or -2) as Teamwork is a DEX skill, and those with Teamwork should have a leg up (see what I did there?) on those without it. Other than that, I like Grailknight's idea above. Doc Democracy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
