Durability and Power: comparing Normal Man vs DCC Character
Posted: Mon Jan 07, 2013 10:16 pm
Hi guyz,
I'm fielding this to you DCCers to get your thoughts on this to. I'm trying to answer the perplexing question of when is a DCC character 10 times as durable/ability to deal damage as a Normal man. The reason is that I'm trying to get a good idea of when a DCC character enters the Hero category in OED's Book of War. In Book of War, a Hero is someone who is 10 times as durable as a normal man. In Dnd terms that means level 10 at least.
I'm defining a Normal Man as a Man at Arms on page 434. I've considered using the Peasant that is listed on the same page. Either one gives me different answers.
So what I'm thinking is that when a Warrior(page 42-44) can have 40 Hp is when they become a BOW Hero. I got 40 from 4 HP times 10. A Man at Arms has a 1d8 HD, and I'm taking 4 HP as the average score for them. Using the same kinda of idea for the Warrior, I'd want to meat the 40 HP for an average Warrior.
What I'm thinking:
2 HP from the funnel
+ 6 HP per level
Somewhere around level 6 or 7 is when they are 10 times as durable as a normal man.
The author of BOW mentioned the "damge scale" as well. A Man at Arms gets 1 attack per round. In BOW, the Knights and Barbarians listed in the Hero section get 2-3 attacks in normal ODnd combat. Warriors appear to get multiple attacks at level 5.
Ok, where is my thinking all wrong on this?
