badger3k Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Well, after getting distracted with both Star Wars and Traveller Hero (Comstar), as well as reading an old Megatraveller adventure that sounds cool to run, I've tried to do some more conversions. For many of them, they do not really have the flavor that I am looking for, but this one is interesting. The character has to be wielding two weapons and strike at the target with both. It pushes the target back one square for each hit, more if both hit. I didn't want to reuse the shifting mechanic I used before, but went more with the spirit and made it a naked advantage "Does Knockback". The construction that I made is: Thundertusk Boar Strike: Does Knockback (+1/4) for up to 60 Active Points of HKA (15 Active Points); OIF (Weapon of Opportunity; -1/2), Requires A Fighting Tricks Roll (-1/2), Requires Two Weapons (-1/4) Real Cost: 7. Several questions come to mind: 1) can the NA be set to "two-weapon attack" (I didn't like this, instead made it a limitation)? 2) can a NA apply to two attacks in one phase (another way to phrase it is two uses of the power in one phase)? 3) does the NA have to cover the active points of both? This would make it cover 120 points (I use a 60 active point which covers most weapons). I've never done one this way, and any input would be appreciated.

badger3k Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Re: Thundertusk Boar Strike I found the FAQ and it seems like it would have to cover the totals, but as I am still unclear, I posted a question for Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger3k Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Re: Thundertusk Boar Strike FYI anybody interested, it's not technically wrong to apply it to both attacks, but it's one of those things to watch. To head that off at the pass, I set it up to cover the combined total: Thundertusk Boar Strike: Does Knockback (+1/4) for up to 120 Active Points of HKA (30 Active Points); OIF (Weapon of Opportunity; -1/2), Requires A Fighting Tricks Roll (-1/2), Requires Two Weapons (-1/4) Real Cost: 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savinien Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Re: Thundertusk Boar Strike Is this a conversion from D&D or The Malazan Book of the Fallen? Reminds me of how The Grey Swords mistook Gruntle as one of Fener's own when he was actuall the Mortal Sword of Treach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
