Hunting and Fighting Roll System
Hunting
The basic rules for how rolling for your cat hunting works.
Rolls
When hunting, three rolls must be made to determine if you find anything, what you find, and if you catch it. Two of those roles will be a d10, while the third will be anywhere from a d3 to a d5 depending on what youâre willing to find.
The first roll is the search roll, which determines whether you manage to find anything.
The second roll is the catch roll, telling you whether or not you catch what you find.
The third roll is the prey item roll, defining what animal your character is finding and trying to catch.
Roll Bonuses
+1 if the character is a warrior/clan-specific rank (digger/weaver/scout)
+1 if the character was named for a specific hunting trait
+1 if the character is over 40 moons old
+1 if the character is a King or a Council member
The total bonus possible is a +4 to the search/catch roll, if the character rolling happens to meet all the requirements. For example, Boarnose is a Goblinclan cat and the Head Warrior on the Council, they're over 40 moons old, and they were given the suffix -nose for their ability to track exceptionally well. Boarnose rolls a 5 to find prey and a 4 to catch what they found, so with their bonus they got 9 and 8 respectively.
Roll minimums to detect/catch
Spring- 4
Summer- 3
Fall- 6
Winter- 7
Fighting
Battle is a natural part of a clan catâs life, fighting for your home, territory, honor, and to protect your loved ones. Whether itâs a fight or spar between two or more cats, a brawl between cats and predators, or a fight between a cat and something more dangerous, this is how the rolls are done.
HP
HP, or hit points, represent the health of a character. Full hit points mean that they are not injured and in perfect health, while hit points fall below full when something happens to injure them. Getting hurt in a fight will usually decrease a characterâs HP.
A character can take at most 6 HP of damage before they are rendered unable to fight (i.e knocked unconscious or killed, depending on the circumstances)
Rolls
The one starting the fight rolls a d20 to determine their attack, then the second participant rolls 2d20 to determine whether or not they block/dodge the attack and their counterattack. This goes back and forth until an opponent gives up/flees or hits âzeroâ HP.
Now, each round of attack/defense is not going to take just one HP per hit, that would be boring if a fight were to drag on that long! Besides, these animals are fighting tooth and nail, biting and clawing and shaking and tearing, so damage done to an opponent will vary.
Roll Bonuses
Just like with hunting, there are possible bonuses that can be added to a characterâs fighting rolls.
+1 if your character is a warrior/clan-specific rank (digger/weaver/scout)
+1 if your character is named for their fighting prowess
+1 if your character is a warrior over 40 moons
The total bonus points possible is +3 if the character rolling meets all the criteria, such as if the cat rolling was a 50-moon-old warrior named Martenswipe named for his quick claw attacks.
Damage
To know how much damage an attack does to an opponent, one must pay attention to the attack roll of the attacker and the defense roll of the defender. The difference between them determines how much damage is caused.
If the attack roll is 1-10 higher than the defense roll, that is a minor injury; small cuts and scrapes, a glancing blow, shallow wounds, etc. These types of injuries can be handled by the individual or those close to them, and rarely need attention from a healer. 1 HP of damage is done
If the attack roll is 11-14 higher than the defense roll, that is a moderate injury; larger and deeper cuts, a weak smack to the head or body, shallow bite wounds, etc. These types of injuries may or may not cause scarring and should be seen to by a healer, but are not usually urgent. 2 HP of damage is done
If the attack roll is 15-18 higher than the defense roll, that is a serious injury; Deep cuts and slashes, deep bite wounds, a concussive blow to the head, etc. These types of injuries will need to be taken care of by a healer and are urgent; they might even be life-threatening if not treated soon enough. They will cause scarring, and in some cases, other kinds of permanent damage. 3 HP of damage is done
If an attack roll is 19 or more higher than the defense roll, that enters severe territory; these are injuries that will cause scarring and permanent damage to a character, they are life-threatening and must be dealt with immediately by healers or other allies nearby. 4 HP of damage is done
Each round has the potential to take away HP from anyone involved in a fight, and everyone will be expected to keep track of their own HP and how much damage they are taking. Mods will also keep track though, and when we notice a character is getting low, we will warn players that it might be time to back out of a fight. If a character falls to zero HP, they are considered unconscious OR they must actively disengage from the battle and flee, returning to camp to be tended to.
