So this just happened in my quick solo playtest of DM Scotty’s EZ D6 system:
I wanted to test a Blastmaster’s mettle in combat. So I surrounded him with four skeletons.
Conjurers can also direct their spells at groups. This is what I did in the test. The group rolls as many Resistance Dice as it has members. So the four skeletons rolled 4d6, with the highest result being the target number for the magic roll of the conjurer.
I rolled 4d6 and got a 5 as the highest result for magic Resistance. Being a conjurer, my Blastmaster rolls 2d6 for each magic roll. The risk to NOT get a 5 seemed to high for me, so I decided to roll Power Level 3 (adding 2 more dice to the roll), so I rolled 4d6. I got 2,3,3 and 5.
This meant my Blastmaster’s spell attack was successful. I hit all four skeletons with 2 strikes damage each – and since they only had 1 strike, I killed them on the spot.
Just imagine: the conjurer standing in the middle, surrounded by four skeletons. A quick, powerful gesture, maybe a scream, and a huge frigging fireball erupts from the man’s hands, blasting outwards like a tidal wave of fiery destruction.
That was really fun
EZD6 is my new darling, for sure.
