Made a couple of enemies inspired by a fun Poxnora faction. I definitely learned quickly to not care about the player’s Defense and Attack, but focus only on the stats for the enemies being fought. I really enjoy the 5 Phase system and how it provides a decision point for initiative instead of a lifeless die roll.

These are great, thank you for sharing.
A quick question on the stitchlings. in Tactic 6 (exploding pin cushion) they do Flesh Attrition to friend and foe. What would flesh attrition look like to an NPC?
I assume the intent is that they will damage other NPCs in this case, is the intent that it does 1HP (or maybe 1D3) of damage to other NPCs?

I reasoned that flesh attrition is a bit worse than basic, as it gets around clothing, armor, and items, so I made it gain advantage on the damage roll (roll 2d4, take highest).
So it’s probably not for everyone, but I made a quick reference for just such a translation. Essentially, anything small takes 1d4, anything medium takes 1d6, and anything large takes 1d8. In my head it was an easy rule of thumb and I don’t fiddle with reducing anything with armor. Here is my full table:
| NPC Damage | Size | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Type | 1 (Goblin) | 2 (Human) | 3 (Minotaur) |
| Basic Attrition: | 1d4 | 1d6 | 1d8 |
| Flesh Attrition: | 1d4 Advantage | 1d6 Advantage | 1d8 Advantage |
| Equipment: | lose weapon/item | lose weapon/item | lose weapon/item |
| Destroy: | 1d4, lose weapon | 1d6, lose weapon | 1d8, lose weapon |
| Brutal: | 2d4 | 2d6 | 2d8 |
