Had party of 5 level 3 character engaged with two groups of 7 spiders. while my characters were getting fatigue in 10 point increments the spiders were going up at 1 or 2 points. Also may want to reduce a bit the impact on high fatigue on armor class. While yes less defense when tired but fangs not going to penetrate plate mail as often it does when tired. |

I haven't checked your current characters, but I remember that you always tend to run the highest speed characters in the game. This can be a big fatigue problem unless they are also stacked with high constitution and/or endurance skills. A character attacking 3 or 4 times in a turn will pile up fatigue very quickly. Pay attention also to the technique they have selected. The "effort" value is the fatigue generated. If you have a fast character attacking multiple times per turn with a high-effort technique fatigue can pile up dangerously quickly! |

Large shields will be a really good way to slow down your characters. Not only will they keep the speed down (to keep fatigue under control) but they will provide decent defense as well, which is more valuable than ever now that monsters tend to have lower attack scores.
Lowering your speed is the number one way to keep fatigue from getting out of hand. |

Possible solution- is it possible that defense not be reduced beyond point and that point be determined by armor worn on torso? Also factored in would be if the armor on torso covers more than one area. I.e breastplate that covers torso only would have lower min defense that a suit of plate mail.
Short term solution- any way to index max number of monsters in a party to the player party size? |
6/4/2013 10:49:15 PM | How about making it so each point you put into a skill drops the amount of fatigue it makes? Something like 3 levels will slow fatigue from using the techniques by 3 or more.
Or even an option that you can hold back on going to extremes when fighting?
Another thing would be spells that could counter fatigue, possibly healing types. Maybe character level might drop how much fatigue is created when using their skills. |
