Edsel Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 Regarding the Set Maneuver we have the following from page 204 of MHIEHRPG: Quote This Combat Maneuver represents the effects of taking extra time to aim at a specific target, thereby improving one’s accuracy. It requires a Full Phase to establish, and provides a +1 OCV bonus to all attacks against that target until the character ends the Set (which occurs if the character does anything other than aim at or attack the target, gets Stunned or Knocked Out, and so forth). No mention of it being exclusive to Ranged Attacks. From 6E2 79 Quote This Combat Maneuver represents the effects of taking extra time to aim at a target with a Ranged attack, thereby improving one’s accuracy. Set does not work with HTH Combat attacks. My understanding is that the MHIEHRPG was written using the 6E rules. So is Set meant to work in HtH combat in the MHI campaign setting as a special case? If one only had the MHIEHRPG book you would never see the prohibition against using Set only in HtH combat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Bushido Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 I know it isnt the answer you are looking for, but I have been ignoring that prohibition since Haymaker was opened up for ranged attacks. The game hasn't shown any signs of suffering from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel Posted October 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 I’ve also decided that I’ll allow a set maneuver in HtH combat. A character is sacrificing a full phase in hopes of gaining a +1 to hit in the next phase. If the enemy moves out of melee combat before the next phase that’s just the gamble the character takes.

Duke Bushido Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 Yep. I have always interpretted it along the lines of pausing, kooking for that one perfect opening.... Oops; he stepped back! That kind of thing. Scott Ruggels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
