Re: TOR or LOTR 5E for roleplaying novice

The reason not to include 5e basics is that it would add a great deal to the size of the book, making it more expensive. The 5e basic rules are free to download, so there is no reason to include them. No other book is necessary. Sure but, I suppose, FL could have edited two versions, for example. O...

Re: TOR or LOTR 5E for roleplaying novice

If you let one last opinion, I would tell this: I was in the same situation... I have not played 5E (but I played Pathfinder first edition) and I am pretty used with Mutant Year Zero system Games as Forbidden Lands or Alien. I finally opted for 5E because I checked some reviews about TOR and, althou...

Re: Stealth and Ambush Attacks during combat

Yes, and so he does... But while you're receiving will points, you are decreasing your agility so doing stealth attack becomes more and more difficult. Finally, depending on the situation and the momentum of the scenario, he doesn't try to do more stealth attacks (throwing 2+3 dices is always diffic...

Re: Stealth and Ambush Attacks during combat

There are some good attempts in the Official rules like the Goblin talent (Nocturnal) or the spell which grants some stealth successes (Cat's Paw). Problem is that if you make the Nocturnal talent a general talent, it has no sense to pick a Goblin as a character, for example. In my group, the druid ...

Re: Stealth and Ambush Attacks during combat

I'd also see the issue contextually. Once an attacker is "revealed" and fighting has started, how should another sneak attack be plausible? IMHO, the attacker would have to withdraw from sight first and try to set up another ambush, e.g. trying to sneak behind the opponent. This would tak...

Re: Stealth and Ambush Attacks during combat

True... After some sessions rogue purchased a light crossbow and it's easier to try a stealth attack with path of the killer in near distance. About pushing: it's true too but all in all he has bad luck and repeating he has few successes or even none, and I got one or more with 3 dice without repeat...

Re: Stealth and Ambush Attacks during combat

It could be a nice discussion since there is no reddit. I think that is underpowered since Rogue depends on two rolls: 1.- First and most important, the Rogue stealth roll with a -2 (since he/she has to attack at melee distance). In general, in all the sessions, the Rogue player had pretty bad rolls...

Re: Stealth and Ambush Attacks during combat

Thanks for your answer. The problem of that conclusion is that a Rogue and his/her talent "Path of the Killer" is underpowered in relation with, for example, Fighters since Rogues would have only one possibility to use his/her talent before combat. In my group, I allow the Rogue to try ste...

Stealth and Ambush Attacks during combat

Hi... Usually I would have checked the FL reddit for answers but since it's closed I have to look for another sites like this. I have a question regarding this: Would it be possible to make a stealth attack during combat? For example, with all the initiative cards drawn, a hidden player enter a room...

Re: Campaign length?

I know... In fact, Immolate is a "must have" for every rust brother :D I should have been more precise before. My concerns are about the printed material as Raven's Purge or Encounters from the book. For example, and here it is a minor spoiler, my characters found the group of slavers from...
