Title: 2 mordheim rules that could translate to frostgrave
Post by: Blackivarr on November 20, 2015, 04:53:52 PM

Hey all, Been lurking here quite a while, first time post.

After a bunch of Frostgrave games under our belts, my group is totally sold on the game.

We used to play Mordheim a bunch, and we miss a couple of minor rules.

Diving charge ie. Jumping on an opponent from above. Any suggestions on how to incorporate it? The bonus was +1 on a d6 so +2 or +3 on the d20 should be about the same.

Also, would letting 2 models carry a treasure together at full speed work? Or would it imbalance the race off the table?

Thanks for your thoughts.

I'd add the damage he takes falling as a damage bonus IF he wins the combat.

So Thug Drops 5" down onto an opposing wizard as his movement action, taking 7 damage in the process. If he wins the combat he gets to add 7 damage to his result verses the wizard for landing on him.

Good thing, I have done the same in my play group. it moves faster the treasure markers to the edge of the board and then one soldier carry out of the table.

What if? the rule went: If the Thug wins the combat most of the falling damage transfers to the Wizard. Wizard takes 5, Thug takes 2...or so.

I don't know that I like the idea of assassins lurking upon high waiting to jump on unsuspecting adventurers. Unless they are trained assassins...
Jumping 2 to 3 stories should definitely injure the leaper, and give a dodge chance for the target to represent the leaper mis-timing the jump, or wind conditions, or a crumbling masonry leaping spot giving way at the moment of truth...
