Spearfall Weapons Tourney Rules

Crowd Crowd favor is measured for each fighter:

• Cheering Crowd: +1 to all tests until hit by the enemy or lose favor.
• Neutral Crowd: The crowd tensely waits to see what you will do.
• Booing Crowd: The crowd is booing you! -1 to all roles until you gain the crowd's favor.

A Non-fighting team member can influence the crowd (dc 13)

• Success increases the crowd's favor.
• Failure decreases the crowd's favor.

Select Coaching A single team member not fighting may coach the fighter (dc 13), choosing an approach skill.

• Critical Failure: The coaching confuses the fighter and the fighter cannot benefit from the approach at all.
• Failure: the coaching throws off the fighter, and the approach skill will have a disadvantage on the approach test.
• Success: the coaching helps the fighter, and the approach skill gains +2 for the next approach test.
• Critical Success: coaching truly helps the fighter, the approach skill gains an advantage for the next test.

  Select Approach (DC 13) (Crit offers an advantage to the initiative test instead of +2)

• Athletics: +2 to Initiative, +2 to AC
• Insight: +2 Initiative, +2 to Hit.
• Perception: +2 to AC, +2 to Hit
• Deception -2 to the enemy initiative, +2 to hit
• Performance - Rally the crowd to your favor (Success increases the crowd's favor.)
• Intimidation -2 to the enemy initiative, +2 to AC
• Acrobatics +2 to AC, +2 to Init

Select Stance

• Wild Stance, +2 Init, -2 Hit
• Counter Stance, -2 Init, +2 Hit
• Defensive Stance, -2 to Init, +2 AC
• Acrobatic Stance, -2 to Init, Advantage on Dodge

Initiative Phase Initiative Winner Rolls to Hit First Roll to Hit Compare against targets AC.     If Hit Defender may:

• Last moment dodge: Acrobatics or Athletics Check, the result becomes AC, no counterattack, reset to the approach
• Last moment parry: Attack roll +2, the result becomes AC, no counterattack, reset to the initiative

If Miss Defender may:

• Counterattack (regardless of stance) immediately go to roll to hit.
