Tiny question on Trampling

Trample is a special ability. Just because you are large does not give you the ability.
Trample USES size differential to determine damage.

She will trample at all times unless she encounters a being too large to trample (another size 6er). At that point she would go into hand to hand with her weapon.


>I have put girdle of might on her, boots of messenger (to make running and trampling less fatigue-costing -- is thas right?),

The reinvigoration items restore fatigue according to their number once per round. They don't actually lower the costs, they counteract them.

Sorry... of course I knew that, since I rejoice at seeing the little elephant on the screen. Anyways, what you said.

Anyways, about size differential being a factor of trampling, remember that the bigger the diff, the more damage is dealt.

Hoburg Halflings faint at the rumor that the earth mother is attacking.

Thanks, all great info.
Can I set it so that she wont try to trample some of the larger folk, for example? I mean I know she *can* trample up to size 5, but I prefer she only do it to size 3 or 4, then use weapon. Is that possible?

[Teleolurian]

Not sure, but I think trample is part of the whole attack phase - it won't even come into play if it's not possible. It's just a way to do extra damage when it is possible.

According to the devs:

Trample damage is (2*size), armor piercing. Size difference is not relevant.

As for how trample works: Tramplers trample until they run out of action points, then attack with a weapon. So you always do both.
