streaming combat timeflow concepts

the fog of battle, in real combat you get tunnel vision and are only aware of
your immediate target right in front of you. you must use an action to
declare a perception check to scan the battlefield or notice something going on
that is not right in front of you

tick = 1/10 second

PAC physical action cost modifier = (20 - dexterity)

MAC mental action cost modifier = (20 - intelligence)

(0) become aware of threat - enter streaming combat timeflow

(1) reaction test dc(15) d20 + 1/2 BA(round up) + WILL

if (fail)
{
freeze - time cost: # ticks = amount reaction test failed by
go to (1)
}
if (pass)
{
go to (2)
}

(2) POA Plan Of Action - predetermine # of actions up to (intelligence bonus + 3) -

time cost: # ticks = MAC mod

(3) perform each predetermined action - time cost: # ticks = base action cost +
(PAC mod(physical actions) or MAC mod(mental actions))

(4) if all predetermined actions have been performed or you want to change any of
your predetermined actions go to (2)

(5) threat over - return to normal timeflow

wpn speed | parry | set | strike | recover

1.0 - 1.1 3 3 1 3
1.2 - 1.4 2 2 1 2
1.5 - 1.7 1 2 1 2
1.8 - 2.2 1 2 1 1
2.3 - 3.0 1 1 1 1
3.1+ 1 1 .5 .5

sample wpn speeds

wpn speed min str

great sword 1.6 14 if str < min str by 2 or less, add 2, by more than 2, add
5 ticks to action cost
broad sword 2.2 10 if str > min str by 2 subtract 2 ticks to action cost
dagger 2.8 6

a person of average dex: 10 PAC mod: 10

and avg str 10 (4 less than str min)
using a great sword would have
parry 16 ticks or 1.6 seconds
set 17 ticks or 1.7 seconds
strike 16 ticks or 1.6 seconds
recover 17 ticks or 1.7 seconds

a person of good dex: 14 PAC mod: 6

and good str 14 (matches str min)
using a great sword would have
parry 7 ticks or .7 seconds
set 8 ticks or .8 seconds
strike 7 ticks or .7 seconds
recover 8 ticks or .8 seconds

a person of great dex: 18 PAC mod: 2

and avg str 12 (under str min by 2)
using a great sword would have
parry 5 ticks or .5 seconds
set 6 ticks or .6 seconds
strike 5 ticks or .5 seconds
recover 6 ticks or .6 seconds

move back 1 hex 3
change facing 1 (free during movement 45deg per hex)
draw sheathed weapon 2 (free during movement > 1 hex)
draw slung weapon 3 (free during movement > 2 hex)
pick up off ground 4
switch hands 2
change grip 1
