Yeah the Might being the number of actions really should be a little more prominent.
Not related to this fight, as it was a successful ambush, but if the orcs had been aware they would have doubled their shield bonus to parry against opening volleys..... except it doesn't say when adversaries have shields any more... with a +3 parry they obviously do, but how much of that is a shield???
Yes. That is something that should made clear.
It is, if one reads the whole paragraph while awake enough to process...
Instead, I think it should be eliminated as a
really bad conflation of functions.
There are a number of elements I don't like about the presentation of adversary LMCs
- The presence of various factors is inherently inconsistent: some are listed in the header, some are listed in the entry.
- The lack of non-combat abilities
- Lack of indication of shields
- Lack of label for armor type (how much of the armor is natural, how much is worn?)
A few items I understand but dislike, and they go back to 1E
- unified att level
- lack of illustrations for each entry
- Adversary weapons not in a consolidated table (1E was table per category of adversary)
The rather high PH (=PC) parry scores I find just as much an issue as the too high target numbers for the labeled meaning of skills.
