Knight? Nah.

No knight, just a boisterous brooding Ironborn with a very strong belief in that he has the biggest body count in all of westeros and that this entitles him to get whatever he wants, and since those are predominantly simple things, like alcohol, wenches, brawls and bathing in the blood of his opponents, that kinda works out nicely for him.

Yeah, AXFII is practically an auto-win against anyone with low CD. Minimum 50% chance of inflicting a wound against an 8 CD. Every round. Brutal.
I'd use a crowbill and a large shield, 5 fighting, 4 agility &
awareness, 3 athletics. At 2 damage per DoS you probably wouldn't be doing much damage, but with high initiative and a good CD you get safe very fast once you throw out a wound, and with shattering you destroy shields, increasing the odds of inflicting wounds.

My god, you might as well play a dragon.

Baelon:don't you have to cause damage to deal the wound? Wasn't there a debate about that?

by **Theomore Tullison** Tue Jul 28, 2015 12:12 am

Remember that you still need to do damage to inflict that wound. So Crowbill would be a poor choice. Battleaxe with the house rule upgrade. Possibly considering one of the powerful, two-handed varieties without it.

by **Baelon Drakeson** Tue Jul 28, 2015 12:26 am

Hmm. The debate was over AXF I, not II, but I suppose that if it applied to one it would apply to the other... so then yes, the crowbill would be a bad choice. Kind of a shame, I'd love to see some of the odder weapons have a useful niche. Of course, this niche would be ridiculous, so then again...

by **Theomore Tullison** Tue Jul 28, 2015 12:31 am

Oh, wait, they altered both AXF I and II with the errata. I'd still take Battleaxe over Crowbill though, espescially if the former gets Athletics +1 damage.

I want to see more pitchfork fighters! I like the idea of a well trained farmer taking on knights :;

A certain pig farmer might agree with you.

Hogwash! This build shows telltale signs of popularity, everyone would love it! I wished to experiment, so I built this beauty. The issue is that farming implements breaks on 2 dos, so I made sure of many Bd so that the choice is open to make it less than 2. He therefore has fury to increase damage, massive so that he can wield 2 and much endurance as he isn't wearing armour.

When you spend so much time on a tangent, it's time to get out of the hospital!

by **Loreia** Tue Jul 28, 2015 2:12 am

I tested 10d6k5 50 individual times. The results never went below 20. Very often mid-20's. Endurance only helps you recover, it doesn't reduce damage dealt unless you use a greater action to catch your breath. Unless you expect him to regularly encounter poisons or disease, I would take 3 out of Resilience and put 2 into Strength. This way when he upgrades to a halberd or a poleaxe, he'll have +2 strength from the weapon's Powerful quality. And then give 1 to Train Animal.

by **Yoren longshore** Tue Jul 28, 2015 2:16 am

The thing with bonus dice is that you may pick which you want to keep. Also he'd use his Fury to reduce it to 3d6, the reason for which is weapons fragile quality. As for reinvesting bonus dice: I think you are right about that, it would be better changed:)

This kind of thing that makes me want to play a campaign with characters in the Night's Watch.

The lightning quick Ser Loreth grunted in pain as Ser Bejen's sword bit in to his arm. Despite being sorely pressed by Loreia and Ser Benjen, he still found the strength to deal a decisive blow to the exhausted Ser Jon Roxton.

Now but four remained to lay a claim to the title of melee champion.

Ser Loreth Lansdale
CD: 9
AR: 10
Health: 2/12
F/I/W: 2/1/0
Greatsword, full plate.
Fatigue spent if attacked.

Take an injury to reduce Ser Benedict's damage by 4 = 0.

Lesser action: aim
Lesser action: [url=Attack Bold Ser jon (aim)][/url]: 8d6k5-3 19 = 3 DoS = 21 Damage - 10AR = 11 damage
Bold Ser Jon is defeated [Consequence - unconscious: as noted previously, not applying vicious during the melee]

This guy just won't give up, will he?

by **Reader** Wed Jul 29, 2015 10:05 am

It's only a scratch dammit. He'll make the PCs earn their victory - he needs to live up to the prowess he displays in canon! Smile

by **Yoren longshore** Wed Jul 29, 2015 10:08 am

If he defeats one of the PCs now he has proven himself! Three to one and he's still kicking, not going down.

He's already won his initial melee group too! A true hero/nuisance.

by **Baelon Drakeson** Wed Jul 29, 2015 11:51 am

Well, if Ben &
Loreia repeat their last round's performance, I think we can force him out.... or at least force him to rack up enough penalties that he's less of a threat.

Sorry, I will be right over there, tripping my feet and landing on my bottom. Laughing

by **Baelon Drakeson** Wed Jul 29, 2015 8:35 pm

The difference is that Baelon was confident that you would win... and was hoping you would yield without him having to hurt you.
The odds were against Ben and Loreia... that was a VERY lucky roll that Ben just got (seriously, 4 6's and a 5 with 8 dice? Wow.)

by **Dyana Marsten** Wed Jul 29, 2015 8:36 pm

I'm just teasing you, silly.

by **Baelon Drakeson** Wed Jul 29, 2015 8:50 pm

I knew that, but I wanted to make it clear... and I wanted to express my surprise over that roll. :;

A fabulous moment of swordsmanship, one of those special moments when everything is just so. Hooray for Ser Benedict!

by **Yoren longshore** Wed Jul 29, 2015 9:30 pm

Defeating Loreth surely makes him among the best fighters of the realm!
