3d10 work for you bann?

For tanks in the new year, I'll start off with the Ontos Tank Destroyer, then the Challenger 2(once I get some BrickMania track links: the standard Lego one's are one stud too wide).

3d10+20 is still pretty obscene +10 perhaps?

[Valiant]

The +20 only applies to the hull and turret front when coming under general fire. Can we settle for +15?
Also, TROPHY has been made less OP by giving it a one in six chance to fail detonating incoming warheads.

I think +10 is more fair. That is like an automatic maxed out d10 on a 4d10 roll

the average roll of 1d10 is 5.5 for a grand total of 16.5 for the average 3d10 dice roll so have +10 would get you close to having 5d10 armor +15 closer to 6d10 or the +20 you had closer to 7d10 so +10 is still pretty big bonus wouldn't you say?

[RedRover]

The point of brikwars is that everything is destroyed or dies. A successful game is marked by carnage and desolation.

[Valiant]

Alright, +10 it is.
And for anyone creating tanks, I would recommend that you outfit them with ERA, as it greatly increases their survivability.

[Valiant]

Revised statcards for both Leopards.


For the ERA, there is a 1/6 chance that it will fail to detonate.

[Silent-sigfig]

Very nice tank models.

As for this armor debate, simply armor plating the area should be enough without the +10. However, adding ERA/ rocket cages that could negate a single shot would be interesting.

[Valiant]

What does armour plating do exactly? It still confuses me, although I think it's similar to shields.

[Silent-sigfig]

Pretty much. It just removes 1 die from any attack, and unless specifically aimed elsewhere attacks always it hit.

It removes one die of damage from each incoming source of damage so 3d6 goes to 2d6 or 2d10 goes down to 1d10

Almost a year now and I never knew...
Well, I'll have to give the playtest another go, as this changes everything that I knew armour was. Dang it.

[Valiant]

That's for sure .
