What we're doing here is establishing a baseline for social combat, which - in turn - may be a baseline for other non-combat minigames.

Part of the problem with something like social combat is that we want things that are analogous to weapons, but you don't buy a red herring argument. Well... okay, there is always the theory that you can purchase social tactics by spending some kind of currency you gain by doing research, but that's a whole other ''thing'' and gets complicated. So we're not going to touch that for right now.

The following is the list of basic social tactics in Trinity.

: ''"I am the rock. None shall pass."''
+
  
−
Defenders believe that strong defense is the key to a potent offense. Rather than learn to apply the power of weapons in their own hands, defenders study the art of defense and zone control: through this, they can force their enemies to crash uselessly against their armor, while giving their allies protection from the same and time to use their own abilities against their foes. That said, however, defenders are not without their own offense, able to turn their defenses into offense when the moment calls for it.

While many of the defender's skills can be used when not under assault, the training of a defender is such that they are taught to use an assailant's momentum against them, or pin them with a shield. As such, defenders also learn how to encourage their enemies to attack them: after all, what use is a defender if ignored?

Defenders are warriors, and as such make use of ''maneuvers'', specific attacks or other abilities attained through rigorous training.
+
−
 
+
−
To use maneuvers, defenders must make a ''guard check'', as it is possible to misjudge an incoming attack or otherwise make a misstep in defending oneself. When defenders make successful ''armor checks'' or ''shield checks'', they gain ''grit'', which they can use to enhance their maneuvers and bypass the need for a ''guard check''.

Maneuvers are almost universally completely physical in nature and have no Force components; they are expressions of the mortal body pushed to its limits. Maneuvers are divided into ''schools'', which represent particular thoughts and approaches to combat, training, and martial abilities. The minimum primary ability needed to use a maneuver, and the ''guard check'' DC to use one, are indicated on the table to the right.

The defender has a maximum amount of ''grit'', based upon his class level. You gain a bonus to this amount equal to the highest of your Strength, Constitution, and Bravery modifiers; this bonus is limited to half your class level, rounded down.
+
−
 
+
−
When you use a maneuver, you must make a ''guard check''. This is a d20 + the key ability modifier for that maneuver's school; in addition, you gain a bonus for each maneuver of that school you know, equal to the highest grade of that maneuver you know (so +1 for each Basic, +2 for each Lesser, +3 for each Expert, and so on). If this check fails, you fail to use the maneuver, but suffer no other penalties.
+
−
 
+
−
When you use a maneuver, if you have ''grit'', you can choose to spend some on the maneuver. The most ''grit'' you can spend on a maneuver is equal to one-half your class level, rounded down, to a minimum of 1. Most maneuvers have augmentations you can spend ''grit'' on to improve them in some fashion. In addition, if you spend at least 1 ''grit'' on a maneuver, you automatically succeed at the ''guard check'' to use the maneuver.
+
−
 
+
−
When you make an ''armor check'', if you succeed, you gain 1 ''grit''; if you get a ''critical'', you instead gain 2 ''grit''.
+
−
 
+
−
When you make a ''shield check'', if you succeed, you gain 2 ''grit''; if you get a ''critical'', you instead gain 4 ''grit''.
+
−
 
+
−
Your current amount of ''grit'' cannot exceed your max. After a ''short rest'' or ''long rest'', your ''grit'' is reset to 0.
+
−
 
+
−
The defender begins with four "maneuvers known" slots. A maneuver known has two possible uses: he can gain knowledge of a new maneuver of any school he can access, as a basic maneuver; or, he can improve his understanding of a maneuver he already knows, and improve its grade by one (from basic, to lesser, to expert, to greater, to master); however, he cannot improve his knowledge of a maneuver beyond the max grade, per the class table. He gains knowledge of additional maneuvers each level, as per the class table, above. At fourth level and every four levels after, he can trade out up to two basic maneuvers he knows (or reduce the grade of a maneuver he knows) for either new maneuvers, or to improve the grade of maneuvers he already knows.
+
−
 
+
−
If you would gain access to a school, you can choose to instead gain a bonus feat, which must be a feat for which you qualify. If you would gain access to a school and already have access to three schools, you gain a bonus feat instead.
+
−
 
+
−
The defender's key ability for his ''physical attacks'' is dependent upon the weapon he wields; when using a maneuver, if his primary ability score for the maneuver's school is greater than the ability score he would use for his weapon, he can use that instead.

The defender class is not an original concept. The basic idea was taken from the armiger class presented in ''Iron Heroes''; however, I felt that adding the class as it was to Trinity was not appropriate, and ad hoc shoehorned it into the system without writing down anything I had done to do so.
+
Now for something completely different...
−
 
+
−
Since, I have found a [http://www.zipworld.com.au/~hong/ih/armiger.htm modification] of the class, which I find appropriate. However, the usage of the armor tokens in that example proved difficult - ergo, I borrowed the rules found [http://ironheroeshouserules.pbwiki.com/ here] (specifically Harry Pratt's armiger modifications), which made armor tokens much more manageable.
+
−
 
+
−
Having solved the vast majority of the problems in converting the armiger from IH to regular d20, I then added my own modifications to the class, resulting in what follows.
+
−
 
+
−
More recently (Dec '10), I have decided that the defender's armor abilities are a clunky mechanic. With the idea of streamlining the martial classes into a relatively unified whole - by which I mean, using a relatively similar system for the primary martial classes - I have modified the defender to use a maneuver system similar to the Einhander. Most of the maneuvers on the list were taken from the old armor abilities as well as this [http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=160377 homebrew ''Tome of Battle'' discipline].
+
  
−
As of Dec '12, all dead levels have been removed. Also, the maneuver list has been expanded considerably, and defender talents are now in play. Many abilities have been introduced or improved to reflect the einhander's increase in damage - the defender should now be adequately able to handle vast quantities of damage with little to no effect. The defender has also gained a small amount of battlefield control ability, as well as defensive abilities that can be extended to others near him and otherwise encourage enemies to attack him instead of others.

'''Feb 24, 2017:''' Update to t20 v4. Per my notes on the revised defender, the mechanics here should vaguely resemble psionics... ''that'll'' be interesting.

Latest revision as of 10:05, 8 December 2017

What we're doing here is establishing a baseline for social combat, which - in turn - may be a baseline for other non-combat minigames.

Part of the problem with something like social combat is that we want things that are analogous to weapons, but you don't buy a red herring argument. Well... okay, there is always the theory that you can purchase social tactics by spending some kind of currency you gain by doing research, but that's a whole other thing and gets complicated. So we're not going to touch that for right now.

Basic Tactics

The following is the list of basic social tactics in Trinity.

TACTICS

Allegory Intelligence
Baiting Bravery
Emotional Appeal Wisdom
Flattery Charisma
Logic Intelligence
Mockery Bravery
