well, i'll house rule. the question is, there is no point at making a cavalry charge in the current system. and cavalry charge are apparently a staple in the wars waged in the Fading Suns settings (at least where there is not a lot of technology, involved). oh, well, i'll house rule if you're not sk...

ok, let's accept it that you need Ride to max the skill. let's say that Ride is equal to your Melee... but then you get a -4 goal roll penalty.... so what's attacking with a sword on top of a horse is going to get you a penalty nonetheless. example: landed fighter with a sword, dexterity 6 and melee...

on page 239 there are some unclear stuff regarding the Combat Modifiers Chart attacking from a moving platform: -4 to goal roll and in the example is it included a moving animal... so basically attacking on top of an horse or equivalent is amongst one of the worst conditions possibile in the game.

or pancreator bless us... they're players who study engineering at university!

technology so advanced that seems magic... who knows on which physics paradigm they're working on at TL8? it's so far removed. but to avoid all this chatting i would explained the rules for this rites without involving energy shields and recalling their rules. it's difficult for players to get it, e...

i believe the one turn and istant application is to follow immediately with an attack. Smiting Hand should work like this. Cast the theurgy get the victory point bonus and then do the related attack. It's one action. It's like Gokuh pumping up before releasing the Kamehameha. It's the only action fo...
