The question is: how breakage check works for shield? I have not found shields breakage numbers and shield strength. How does it works? Also, the Treasure Companion splits Shields by material in Leather, Wooden and Metal: how the material influences the game mechanics? Thanks. Hello,

BUT HOW to handle this in representing is combat habilitys ? What's the bonus, consequences, etc. of the player charging an enemy frop the air with his pole arms ? Shall we just gave the normal 'speed bonus' ? (1/10 of feet per round speed in OB) so the jumping is worthless... Then maybe by adding the position bonus with that (I,ve read that as optional rule somewhere, that maybe mounted caracters should get a + 20 OB because of their dominating position...) But should'nt we gave an impact critical, because of the impact from the drop (gravity weight additionnaly to the speed...) - AND HOW ? Like a fall ? (Based on a normal fall, but the vicitim is the victim of the attack, not the controly falling attacker -- Falling from heights is represented by a Fall/Crush attack with a bonus equal to the height in feet.) Or by adding an impact critical of 'X' degry of severity less than the one that the attack itself will do ? Well, you see I'm confused. Would love advise about it !! ex : base jump normal = 50'' (horizontal) with extra inch, extra strenght, let's say 60 with talent law, (spec. x3) = 180 in vertical, that would be 90'' if can make a hard manoeuver, that's x3 = 270'' = 24' !! The attack is clearly coming from above !! Or should me make an awerness manoeuver from the enemy and see if it's a surprise attack ? Please HELP !! This have being said, I have some warriors alredy in my troop and I don't whant to have them over powered by my new player, yet the idea of that 'Dragoon' please me...

ex : base jump normal = 50” (horizontal)
with extra inch, extra strenght, let’s say 60
with talent law, (spec. x3) = 180

in vertical, that would be 90”
if can make a hard manoeuver, that’s x3 = 270” = 24′ !!

The attack is clearly coming from above !!

Or should me make an awerness manoeuver from the enemy and see if it’s a surprise attack ?

Please HELP !!
