Along with allowing fighter to add their to hit bonus to initiative.<br /><br />The big omission in the fights are Warg riders which are not 1 HD.

It worked really well, actually.<br /><br />Do fighters get multiple attacks against 1 HD creatures in S&W? In AD&D it was 1-1 or less, IIRC.

You can potentially stand firm against a close order attack of orcs in formation.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-72246455252188723142013-08-22T07:55:51.992-04:002013-08-22T07:55:51.992-04:00I'm very interested to hear your thoughts on B...I'm very interested to hear your thoughts on Battlesystem. I've been looking for a good ruleset for battles for a few weeks and have largely settled on either using Battlesystem or Chainmail, probably because I'm already familiar with both. It's been a long time since I played the former (maybe 1986?) and I don't really remember all that much about it.Keith Sloanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319879076978887933noreply@blogger.com
