RD vs broadsides attack in skulls and shackles


Rules Questions


Hello!
How do you deal with RD if you make a broadside attack with your ship? Do you count it just once, or do you multiply it by the number of weapon you use?
ex: if I use 10 cannons and the ennemy's ship has a RD of 5, do I substract 5 to the total of my attack, or do I substract 50?

By RD you mean Damage Reduction? Then, I imagine it's from each attack that it's reduced..unless Broadsides get some special DR-only once sort of rule, but Im not aware of it.

As in similar topics, please refer to the S&Shackles section of these boards (further down) and consider having a look at Fire As She Bears, which is a more solid system.

Yes, damage reduction x10 in this case. The closest thing in the rules is the Manyshot feat, which says:

"Damage reduction and resistances apply separately to each arrow."

Please note that special catapult ammo have different rules (such as alchemist fire ammunition, which ignores the hardness of wooden objects)

(this is why my players always shoot at sails ==> hardness 0)

Generally by quoting the rules and doing research to point out that he is misreading something to create a loophole..... Wait we are talking about RavingDork right?


The OP probably speaks Portuguese, Spanish, French or another language mostly based on latin, so RD would be DR. (Redução de dano, reducción de daño, réduction des dégâts, etc).

Or maybe it's just a typo... Who knows?

If your enemy has 5 RD's on board their ship, then someone has been messing with time travel and/or cloning (and without my consent no less!) and they likely have bigger problems to deal with than you.
