#SoloSunday #HordeWarsAdvanced Finally taking Horde Wars for a little spin, in preparation for my show with @DM_Blackwall tomorrow. (Did i mention i do a show? Jawin' With Jack, Mondays 6pm Eastern, follow for more details!) One of the things i enjoy about HW right out of the gate is character creation- simply choosing languages led me into reading about the world, and I ended up dreaming up a character i really like, with personality and attitude, and look forward to playing. Cormac Mac Airt Brigantes. Human(Eastron, but dresses Mercian) Dungeon Delver, Blademaster. He's from barbarian stock, but took to civilized life like a fish to water (as opposed to being the proverbial fish out of water). He prefers to make his living as a Blademaster in Mercian cities, but will sell his services as a Dungeon Delver. One of the functions of solo play is to learn book control (HOLLAH @Crossface02 ) and system mastery, so i decided that my initial scene would be Cormac fighting a duel he's been paid to champion. As such, his employer's opponent also hired a mercenary to fight in his place. After looking at the mercenaries in the book, i decided that a Mercian Heavy Infantry fit the bill. Let's dive right in! Here's how the scene played out: The duel was about to start when i realized the stat block for the opponent included HEAVY ARMOR, where Cormac was in a Gambeson So Cormac decided to shame him into changing into a Gambeson, too. I settled on a DC 8, shouldn't be too hard. 4 on the die, but +4 because of training in Influence and Courtier feature, so SUCCESS! So now at least he's similarly armored... He just uses a shield and a zweihander... With two attacks per round... ... Yeah, much better. The Mercian Heavy proceeds to kick Cormac's ass royally. Doesn't suffer a scratch in return and renders the Blademaster unconscious in two rounds. Cormac's reputation about town shall soar to new heights, no doubt! Luckily, one of the witnesses was skilled in medicine and managed to stabilize our intrepid hero before bleeding out. This concludes my first exciting episode of Horde Wars Solo! Despite my glaring lack of success, it was fun, fast and easy to pick up. Looking forward to further adventures with Cormac... Even in a group game! I would attach pictures, but glitch, so here's a GIF instead
