Hum, complexidade, neste caso, faz maestria do sistema = vantagem?

Minis are placed right on the table as there is no need for squares in 13th Age. Half of the orcs are “near” and the other half are (in Grover’s voice) “FAR!!!” Initiative is rolled and recorded, and things start flowing. And flow it did. The removal of squares helps a ton in reducing slowdowns. Bop here, bop there, move your mini to that spot … essentially do what you do and move along.

Combat is very D&D. Add your “to hit” to your d20 roll. If you hit, roll dice and add your damage bonus. For monsters, they have a set amount of damage – less rolling, faster pace to combat. Turns are flying by, damage is being dealt and taken, and the first round is over. Thus the appearance of the escalation die was heralded. I love this mechanic. After the first round a D6 is placed on the table, with the number 1 face up. This number is used by the PCs to add to their “to hit” total. The third round it goes up to 2 (+2 to hit), etc.

It was an evening of almost entirely combat – 2 encounters plus some stuff in the middle. The encounters went very nicely and there was some sweet improvised stunting.

E os dados, regras, fichas? Esse maniqueísmo é muito imbecil, cara, larga disso. Se não tem grid, de repente vira caubói e índio?
