Talk:Chapter 2: Amity in Peril

Allanar has the feat, Lightning Reflexes which gives him a bonus to join battle rolls. We don't have a system for what sort of bonus it gives him. My thoughts were pretty broad on this ranging from an external bonus of +1 or +2 successes; to a internal bonus of +2 to +4 dice on his roll. What do you guys think on this?

Echani Martial Arts: Allanar has the first feat of this which basically gives him a small internal bonus while in combat when facing an opponent he has faced before, or after so many rounds of combat with an opponent. The full description of the feat and system are on the feats page, but it changes slightly with the idea of long ticks for posting combat. I definitely think longer action are necessary for this sort of thing to flow, just curious how we want this to work. In a normal tick situation after 3 actions of combat with an opponent the character gains the bonus, we could stick with that or shorten it to 1 or 2 long tick actions since that would cover the approximate amount of combat original described.

I plan to have Allanar using the combat expertise feat during the start of combat at least, I think the system is worked out pretty well here but wanted to bring it up while I was bringing up the rest. Its pretty set that you can trade in DV for accuracy and the other way around. There is pretty free flowing and I like the ability to do so at will from action to action. It provides no statistical advantage or bonus just a strategic one so I don't think allowing it to be in affect or used every turn is unfair. The DV to accuracy trade is designed to be equal for that reason, but we could make some sort of limit to how often this could be done if you guys wanted.
