Magi:
For each of your combat spells, or spells you mgiht be able to use in combat:
Name, Penetration before die roll (CS-Level, presume no aura[1]), Notes, if any Invisible Sling of Vilano, include ammunition supply, ridiculously large amounts will affect your encumberance, but I'm willing to be lenient.

Doublet of Impenetrable Silk +3 Soak

Eyes of the Cat (can see in near darkness)

Actually, for Weapons, I wanted all the stats detailed, with a total, it's why I listed everything else out the way I did, sorry if that was unclear.

Aiming roll: Per 0 + Finesse 1 (Rego)
Concentration 2 (spell)
Finesse 1 (Rego)

General tactics: Viscaria's small amount of combat training was in the School of Vilano. She concentrates on using Burrowfingers and Baroque Peasant Hut to keep Hand-to-Hand combatants away from our ranged attackers, provide quick defensive bulwarks, etc. She'll try to use Intellego Magics to determine the power of opponents and rely information to her comrades. She fast-casts with the Invis-Sling.

This is way too much arithmetic for me. Laetitia will remember some terribly important thing she's supposed to do and bow out.

WTF?

[size=150]Brionne[/size]

Dagger:
Init: +1 Attack: +6 Defense: +1 Damage: +6

Verditian Sword & Verditian Shield:
Init: +3 Attack: +16 Defense: +17 Damage: +9

Punch:
Init: +1 Attack: +3 Defense: +1 Damage +3

Unarmed Dodge:
+3 Defense

Kick:
Init: 0 Attack: +3 Defense: 0 Damage: +6

Soak: +17 (+3 Stamina +11 enhanced Full Chain + 3 Doublet of Impenetrable SIlk)

edit corrected the Soak for Alexei

11

Nothing beyond dodging defense and Soak would ever be relevant for my character, and I am not going to spend an hour calculating out a bunch of numbers that will never, ever come up as a prerequisite to participate in a thread.

12

Updated Vin's knife, but left the math on the Dodge/etc summarized, since they're all basically the same numbers.

13

[size=150]Alexei's Various Buffs[/size]

Everyone can or should have these buffs on them: (Laetitia has the enhanced Verditian Half Chain: Load 1 Soak +15)

Enhanced full Chainmail (Silvery Scales of the Knight + Hauberk of Supreme Lightness + Hardness of Adamantine) Load 2 Soak +11 If the subject already had metal armour and didn't want Full Chain, then he would have cast a spell to lighten the Load to 1 for half suit, or 2 for a full suit, and added +2 Soak

Doublet of Impenetrable Silk +3 Soak

Eyes of the Cat (can see in near darkness)

Turb of Giants (will transform a Group into Size +3 for a Diameter) This is not cast yet.

14

Then list that. I think I was clear that this was going to be a combat oriented mission, if she's going to do everything she can to stay out of combat, including zipping back to Mons Electi when it gets harry, that's fine. It's a reasonable response to danger. If you want to play that way, that's cool. And if they would never come up, then why have armor constructed, and spells cast on/by you?

15

In all seriousness, you absolutely do not need attack, defense, and initiative scores for punches and kicks for magi whose combat actions will be strictly limited to spellcasting and dodging.

16

Isen:

Please summarize the combat stats as follows:

  • Ice Sword (Penetration 60):
    Init: 3 (Qik 2, Weapon 2, Enc -1)
    Attack: 12 (Dex 1, Skill 7, Weapon 4)
    Defense 10 (Qik 2, Skill 7, Weapon 1)
    Damage: 7 (Str 1 + Weapon 6)
  • Dodge:
    Init 1 (Qik 2, Enc -1)
    Defense 3 (Qik 2, skill 1)
  • [b]Fist of the North Star /b:
    Init: 1 (Qik 2, Weapon 0, Enc -1)
    Attack: 3 (Dex 1, Skill 2, Weapon 0)
    Defense 4 (Qik 2, Skill 2, Weapon 0)
    Damage: 1 (Str 1 + Weapon 0)
  • Wizard's Sidestep
    Substract 9 to rolls to be hit
  • Endurance of the Berserkers
  • Eyes of the Cat

SOAK
18 = 1(sta) + 11(armour) + 3(Doublet of Impenetrable Silk) + 3 (Bronze cord)
+15 vs metal = +33 soak, under his conscious control, which means it won't work against attacks he's not aware of.
+25 vs fire = +43 soak

PARMA
10 (mentem)
=> MR 50 + form (thus 52 to 63, usually 55)

SPELLS:

  • Dagger of Ice:
    Pen 53 (51 -lvl 10 + talisman 4 + Pen 3 +Penetration Mastery 5)
    Damage +5
    May be fast-cast
    May be multicast 6 times (Mastery 5)
  • Invisible Sling of Vilano
    Finesse to hit: 11 (Dex 1 +skill 7 + Precise casting 3)
    Damage +5
    May be multicast 6 times (Mastery 5)
    Ammo: Bag of marble-sized stones
  • Wizard's Leap (ReCo(AnHeTeAq) 15)
    May be fastcast as a defense. Does not need to penetrate.
    Mastery 2

Spontaneous effects:
Creo Something : Sta 1 + Cr 19 + Form (2 to 8, usually 5) => effect lvl 4 to 5 / effect level 10 to 15
Rego Something: Sta 1 + Re21 + Form (2 to 8, usually 5) => effect lvl 5 / effect level about 15
Creo Aquam (Ice): Sta 1 + Cr 19 + Aq 13*2 + Talisman 4 => Effect lvl 10 / 25

Actually, this is slightly misleading:
The first spell needs to penetrate the grogs MR, if any
The second spell doesn't need to penetrate Alexei's MR, we agree on that

BUT both spell need to penetrate the MR of something struck, since both alexei and the grogs would be under an active magical effect. Depending on what you want, this may not be desirable, especially when facing magical creatures (But it may still be, especially for a shield grog, whose main role is taking wounds)
So Alexei-giant striking, say, a dragon will be resisted, just as a peeble of stone mutoed into a boulder would be.

EDIT1: Had wrote 52 instead of 51 to casting total of Dagger of Ice
EDIT2: corrected the init, as I just discovered weapon skill doesn't add to it. Yeah, shame on me :blush:
EDIT3: Had forgotten the Bronze Cord...
EDIT4: Had forgotten Penetration Mastery (thanks Arya)
EDIT5: Added totals for spontaneous Creo Ice spells.
EDIT6: Added explanation for soak vs metal

Dodge: -3 (untrained)
Soak: 22 (1Sta, 3BronzeCord, 15Armour, 3Doublet)

Sling ammo is a pouch of granite marbles. If they're about the size of d20s I'd say that's like 40ish.

Also Mastery score adds to casting total, and I think with Penetration specialty the mastery score adds to Pen as well.
