Raids are part of the entertainment during Strategic turns. They are really the part when role players can and must make good stories to indicate how and why raids will be successful. Of course, there are standard targets for raids and standard tables for the success of raids. But the key modifier of the raid result is the user story!
The map/raid umpire listens to the reason why a raid party should be a success.
The bones should include:
He adds the following story bonus to the raid party:
Qualification | Result | Remark |
---|---|---|
Unique good working story | +2 | Rarely more than once per turn |
Good story | +1 | |
Dime a dozen | 0 | This should be the major number of raid events |
This is the standard story | -1 | |
This failed many times before | -2 | Rarely more than once per turn |
Other modifiers:
Reason | Modifier |
---|---|
Entering a fortified location | -2 |
Entering a camp | -1 |
Difference of race when entering a camp/fort | -1 |
Party not trained for the mission | -1 |
Party specialized for mission | + 1 |
This table contains a list for predefined targets. Players will think about other targets for raids and it is impossible to create a list with all possible targets. But with this table it should be possible to create a similar result.
