Now, for those of you that would like to read an account of the battle between Euaristos and Danaracles... ;D<br/>Euaristos's first action was an Evaluate (which i later forgot to add to his Feint, but it gave him a bonus). At the same time, Danaracles attacked, with Euriastes using Dodge and Retreat successfully. End of turn 1.<br/><br/>Turn 2, Euaristos is faster, so he stepped forward, attacked with a Feint. Through sheer luck, Danaracles failed to notice it, although he is realistically better in feinting. Ouch, his defence was reduced by 3, if we count the Evaluate. He replied... with his own feint, making a much better margin of success though. Euaristos would have defended with a penalty of -5 against next attack.<br/><br/>Turn 3, Euaristos attacked, Danaracles failed to defend. It was a "first successful hit wins", so his objectively greater skill was less useful than his opponent's speed and battle-tested tactics.<br/>Danaracles also received a 2 points of Crushing damage to the body. They are using "rudis", a short wooden sword, which can still hurt you. Actually, "Rudis" is the Latin name, but I don't know the ancient Greek one - maybe Fragile Dreams would be able to help me here. It hurts just the same, though, although it's not enough to cause Combat Paralysis given it's a friendly sparring match - I have the advantage of being able to make this kind of GM's aclls without consulting anyone ;D.
