RE: New Basic Skills - WindStrike - 07-25-2016

Updated Throw to simplify the rolls and nerf the projectile damage, which fixes some abuse issues and helps remove exceptions and special rulings.
Applied a clarification to Cover.
Annnd made Two Hands for One a General Basic Skill, thereby invalidating the dice bonus on Two-Handed Throw.


Two Hands for One
  • DESCRIPTION: You can use both of your hands for most attacks that're normally one-handed for a dice bonus.
    • EFFECT: When you use an attack that's normally One-Handed as Two-Handed, you gain 4 Dice on the attack. This does not include Spells.
Throw
  • REQUIREMENTS: A free hand
  • DESCRIPTION: You can throw people or large objects at other people! First, pick up a target using ATTACK 1.
    • ATTACK 1: Roll your Power dice vs. targets' Power dice
      • Damage: None
      • IF SUCCESS: You manage to pick the target up! Throw them at another target using ATTACK 2, which uses the same success rate for you.
    • ATTACK 2: Target rolls Courage dice to defend
      • Target Damage: +0
      • Projectile Damage: Halved and based on difference in successes from ATTACK 1
Cover
  • REQUIREMENTS: Being able to move
  • DESCRIPTION: Use your body as a shield! Select a target to use Cover on or Reverse Cover.
    • Cover:
      • EFFECT: Anyone targeting the selected target will instead hit you. If an attack would hit both you and the Covered target, it won't hit the Covered target.
        • If you are unsuccessful in defending any attack, Cover wears off.
        • DURATION: Cover lasts until you're hit or until you use Cover on someone else.
    • Reverse Cover:
      • EFFECT: Hide behind an ally, causing them to use Cover on you.
