COMBAT (PROJECTILE AND HAND-TO-HAND)
The target to hit is still the same (11-20 on 1d20). To hit a target, the
unit rolls the 1d20 adds that attacking units Experience level to the roll,
and subtracts the defending unit's experience level from the roll. If the
modified score is 11-20, it is a hit. Other wise, no damage is inflicted.
DAMAGE
The unit inflicts 1 damage point per level. A unit can absorbs (after armor
has absorbed as much damage as it can) as many damage points in a battle as
it has levels (e.g., a 3rd level knight, after his plate armor and shield
have absorbed their maximum damage, can receive 3 damage points before being
defeated).
SAMPLE MONSTERS AND THEIR LEVELS
Examples are from my NARNIA SMART CAMPAIGN:
FIRST LEVEL MONSTERS GOBLINS GIANT BATS SKELETONS SPRITE DEMONS SECOND LEVEL MONSTERS GHOULS HOBGOBLINS
MAGICIAN (can cast two spells per battle)
GIANT SNAKE ZOMBIE THIRD LEVEL MONSTERS GIANT CENTEPEDES DWARF
ELF (can cast three spells per day)
GNOME
A creature, who can cast spells, has a range in inches equal to its
level. If the battle is on a 1:1 scale, then its area of effect has a
diameter equal to the spell caster's level. If the battle is not a skirmish
(i.e., the scale is greater than 1:1, then the area of effect is 1 unit).
The spell causes 1 point of damage per spell caster's level.
In my NARNIA CAMPAIGN, I give the good guys a FAITH roll to avoid all
magic damage. The unit rolls 1d20: if the roll, with the unit's level added
to it, is 11 or greater, they avoid all magic damage or effects. A fair
Judge should also devise some sort of magic resistance roll for victim units.
