If a fumble requires an assessment roll....what happens to the fumbler if the roll is failed?

Thanks: I'll go your way.

Ora maybe fumble only with the result 1.

I play a lot of solo wargaming. Two names above all: Mike Lambo and Tiny Battle Publishing. Now I'm trying a new approach:

1. Rather than playing against a Pen and Paper AI, playing against myself. Some people don't appreciate this practice but, to me, it seems very natural: it's about conceiving the match as an experiment aimed at determining which warband is stronger with the same decision maker. (which is always you of course)
It doesn't make sense with games that include secret choices but many don't have them or provide the possibility of removing them.

2. I'm getting into skirmishes (few pieces and high level of detail) and I've started to wonder if the old role-playing game rules aren't more suitable than skirmish wargames themselves....
In particular GURPS Man to Man (perhaps with the addition of some wizards) or Rolemaster.... perhaps in its more modern incarnations such as Against the Darkmaster or Fantasy Express.

So I decided that, once I've finished the MapTool module to play Fantasy Express, I'll try it as a solo wargame. At first in me vs me mode and then, if I can, I'll write a little pen and paper AI.

It's a quite popular choice: there is a new RPG in Drivethrurpg called, if I remember correctly, 'Gestalt rpg' that embrace the same setup.

There is also an old popular MMORPG called 'Guildwars' where you have 2 classes.

A question: it is possible to select the same Vocational Kit 2 times filling completely the 2 slots?

Just in order to select 2 special skill from his list and to double his DP for each category.

I frankly do not like so mush games with a huge array of feats. I'm in for having lot o spells and skills. But feats: you end thinking to your PC as a cluster of feats that must combine. It's a nightmare for the Game Master that must remember every feat of every character and must understand interaction and collision between exceptions. This is the way followed by True20 .... a beautiful generic system of Green Ronin.

Everything clear: thanks.

So in summary: each hit inflicts only one type of damage (not both).

This is also clear:

The masce is described as a heavy ball or flanged head, sometimes with a spike on top. It has a damage rating of 10bp/[7p], which means that does both bashing and piercing damage and would be against the higher Armor Rating (i.e. if the target's armor has a higher bash AR, you would use it to reduce the attack, not both Bash and Piercing AR).

A little question for you.

The bonus damage equal to (result -20) .... is bash, slash or pierce?

Or it can be distributed between the damages of the weapon?

For example if, with a weapon 10b/8p like a spiked mace, I obtain 25 to the hit ....

I can choose, for example, between 15b/8p OR 10b/13p OR 13b/10p?

Edited: i noticed a minor error in the adventure of the quickstart...

Curlk - Redcap

Should be:

(the table misses the first row)
