I think we should assume a default stunt of 1 - sorry, guys - and the Referee can add successes after the fact. I mean, this edition actually makes that easier, since it gives you 2 dice, and bonus successes for higher levels.<br/><br/>My Join Battle is good ;D!<br/><br/>Roll Result: ThufirHawat rolled: 6d10<br/>First Target Number: 7<br/>Second Target Number: 10<br/>Comment:<br/>Result: 9, 9, 1, 8, 1, 10,<br/>For: 2, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0,<br/>Total: 5<br/><br/>With 5 successes Ivan probably acts first, and he moves to establish a Grapple Gambit. He adds a Willpower point on the attack roll, too...<br/><br/>Roll Result: ThufirHawat rolled: 11d10<br/>First Target Number: 7<br/>Second Target Number: 10<br/>Comment:<br/>Result: 5, 7, 4, 3, 3, 2, 3, 9, 3, 2, 8,<br/>For: 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,<br/>Total: 3<br/><br/>Well, crap. Although I rolled one die less, actually - the slavers are unarmed, and his specialty is..."against unarmed" :D!<br/><br/>Roll Result: ThufirHawat rolled: 1d10<br/>First Target Number: 7<br/>Second Target Number: 10<br/>Comment:<br/>Result: 7,<br/>For: 1,<br/>Total: 1<br/><br/>4 successes on 12 dice (I assumed that there would be a "default 1 die". Should be enough, especially from surprise, but still below average. Well, Willpower bumps that to 5 successes anyway...<br/><br/>Time to roll for the Grapple Gambit!<br/>Roll Result: ThufirHawat rolled: 5d10<br/>First Target Number: 7<br/>Second Target Number: 10<br/>Comment:<br/>Result: 6, 9, 6, 7, 7,<br/>For: 1, 1, 1, 0, 0,<br/>Total: 3<br/><br/>Gambit successful.<br/>And finally... opposed Str+Brawl/Martial Arts rolls to determine control!<br/>I guess my stunt still counts? Though if not, we just remove the first two dice and we're done.<br/><br/>Roll Result: ThufirHawat rolled: 10d10<br/>First Target Number: 7<br/>Second Target Number: 10<br/>Comment:<br/>Result: 5, 4, 9, 2, 9, 3, 4, 6, 10, 7,<br/>For: 2, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,<br/>Total: 5<br/><br/>5 successes for Control. Craeric, give me your opposed roll and we're going to find out for how many rounds Ivan would be able to savage the man...or, if he rolls 0 successes, I'm Decisively throwing him on his head ;D!<br/>Ivan is down to Initiative 2 as a result of attempting (and succeeding) at the gambit, so even that would be a stretch against a Heroic Mortal...but it's a mortal, I'm willing to trade a Decisive attack at 12 dice for the chance of inflicting him wound penalties. Anything less, and I'm going to savage him witheringly for a round or two, and only then do I destroy him.
