Hey yall, I had a couple of questions about how you all run jousting and sneaking scenarios. For jousts, I know that both opponents roll dice simultaneously, but my question is - do you only roll one dice (e.g. for your lance)? In combat scenarios, it makes sense that you’re using as much dice as possible, because you’re using everything you have against your opponents (shield, weapon, horse trampling, etc). But since you’re really just using a lance in a joust, do you just use that one dice?

On a different scenario, my players are infiltrating this complex lighthouse. When your characters sneak, do you have them roll VIG or CLA saves to avoid being spotted? And do you have enemies regularly roll CLA saves to see if they spot them? I haven’t run a Metal Gear Solid sneaking scenario yet, so any advice would be much appreciated!

Hey there mythic knights! One of my players asked a pretty great question about armor in combat scenarios. He was fighting another knight who was decked out in full plate armor, but his head was exposed. My player wanted to go for his head with his sword thrust, and made the argument that armor shouldn’t be factored in because he was attacking a part of the body that was unprotected.

Wanted to get everyone’s thoughts on what I should do here as a DM?
