My first blog bandwagon!

Here's my submission for the randomness blog bandwagon.

Househack part 2 (combat)

I just realised I'm sort of doing the homework: https://jrients.blogspot.com/2011/03/three-years-gone.html

Initiative is rolled every round (Initiative die as a stat? Stats in another post.)

Take 2 actions on your turn (you can do any combination):

Move: Speed will be a stat to determine distance travelled.

Engage in combat (resolved at the end of the round).

Shoot a ranged weapon).

Special: Everything else.

What happens when 2 participants are tied?

They will alternate their actions. Use a coin flip or an agreement to decide who goes first.

Engaged participants:

Roll your attack dice (XdY, see part 1) vs the opponent's attack dice. Pair the dice against each other in descending order. The winner deals a hit for every weapon die higher than their corresponding armour die. For every hit, roll a die of the weapon's damage dice against the opponent's armour dice. Winning damage dice are converted into wounds. (HP and hits in another post.)

Hit location (2d6):

Result	Body part
2	Left foot
3	Left hand
4	Left leg
5	Left arm
6	Left torso
7	Head
8	Right torso
9	Right arm
10	Right leg
11	Right hand
12	Right foot

Armour:

When defending against hits, roll 1dY of the corresponding armour dice if the hit location is covered with armour. If you have a shield, roll that die as well alongside the other.

d4: Not armour, but protective.

d6: Textile/organic

d8: Mixed

d10: Mail 

d12: Plate

d4: Buckler.

d6: Small shield

d8: Round shield.

d10: Kite shield.

d12: Tower shield.

Weapons:

Damage\Attack	d4	d6	d8	d10	d12
d4	Unarmed	Improvised /club	Flail	Chain weapons /pole hooks	Whip/meteor hammer
d6	Knives	Axes	One-handed cutting swords	Two-handed cutting swords	Quarterstaff
d8	Fist weapons	Maces/ warhammers	Longsword	Small spears	Cutting polearms
d10	Light daggers	War picks	Rapier	Light spears/Greatswords	Heavy polearms
d12	Rondel/stiletto	Large daggers	Estoc	Heavy spears	Long thrusting polearms

I hope this doesn't fall apart in playtesting...
