Re: parrying or Multi Skills

[Kris Ames <kris@laf.cioe.com>]

Just got back from vacation, so I don't know if anyone has suggested
this, but why not an extra die of difficulty on each skill that you try
to use in the same round.  For example lets say you wanted to get 3
extra attacks and also use the parry skill to gain 2 extra DV the next
round.  Instead of rolling 3 dice versus your weopon skill and 2 versus
your dodge skill you would roll 4 versus the weopon and 3 versus the
dodge skill.  Obviously the GM could still say that there is no way you
could combine those 2 actions in one round for some thing like tying a
rope around an arrow while attacking with a two handed broad sword.

Just an idea.
