Well done Puckohue for the ideas that you are putting into this topic. I like the ideas you have come up with.

However, I completely misunderstood one point - only realising it when you issued the poll.

I was proposing the rule change for wounds for when you equalled the death roll - not for all death rolls. I apologise if I was not being clear.

I was thinking that for a "equal" roll on the death roll outcomes table ,there should be a chance of being wounded (and a chance of capture as well) but was content with death being "fatal" if you rolled higher.

I think it makes sense that if you exceed the table number, then the consequences are very severe. But if it equals then the consequences are serious. Perhaps adding to the die roll on the death roll consequences table if you exceeded the table number would be the answer - but I certainly think there should be consequences for equalling the number.

Also like Ondureen's suggestion that power might affect the outcome representing healing/protective magic.

So here is a suggestion for the death roll table(s).

Death Roll Table for equals result
1D12 Outcome
1 Horse killed. The character has to buy a new one.
2-3 Wounded - Consult Wounds Table – roll 1d6
4-5 Wounded - Consult Wounds Table – roll 1d8
6-7 Wounded - Consult Wounds Table – roll 1d10
8-9 Captured by the enemy - see rules on Capture
10-11 If 1D20+1d6>(CON +power): death.
Otherwise as result 9 on Wounds Table.
12 If 1D20+1d6>(CON/2 +power): death.
Otherwise as result 9 on Wounds Table.

Death Roll Table for exceeds result
1D12 Outcome
1 Horse killed. The character has to buy a new one.
2 Wounded - Consult Wounds Table – roll 1d6
3 Wounded - Consult Wounds Table – roll 1d8
4 Wounded - Consult Wounds Table – roll 1d10
5 Captured by the enemy - see rules on Capture
6-7 If 1D20+1d6>(CON +power): death.
Otherwise as result 9 on Wounds Table.
8-9 If 1D20+1d6>(CON/2 +power): death.
Otherwise as result 9 on Wounds Table.
10-12 Dead!

Sorry for not putting it into proper table. Couldn't get it to work.

The following rules on the Death Roll will apply from the start of 1631: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eZz ... sp=sharing
