Hello! Just got into this system so thank you for such a concise and informative video on combat! I have a question (I hope you don't mind!), at around 7:15 you mention that advantages or complications can be gained or removed for the whole battle with the battle skill. Is that using the special success table, or is there something I have missed?

I'm going to organize an adventure and your video has helped me a lot! Amazing content! All the rules are explained in a very comprehensive, understandable and entertaining way! Thank you so much! 🫶🏻 You got a subscriber! Hoping for more One Ring content!🙌🏻

[TannerRoberson]

Clear, concise, and simple. Thanks for laying this out so clearly!

Phenomenal work! I wish you uploaded more TTRPG content, especially more LotR/TOR RPG content. You are a talented video-maker.

Your videos about The One Ring RPG are great. Please don't stop. Soon I will acquire some of your ready-made adventures, translate (PT-BR) them and use them to play.

Very informative! Great layout and I liked the animations. They helped keep actions in order!

Really helpful and useful video. Thank you.

Why did they decide to remove stat blocks compared to the first edition? How can I, for example, do checks for enemies? How can I decide if an orc was able to lift a heavy object? Or was he able to convince the people in the village?

That's great thank you. I only received my copy this morning; can I ask, how do you calculate the defensive value? The hobbit archer has a value of 18 where his Strength TN is 14. Thanks again.

Where did you get those tokens? They seem very well-made!

Quick rules question if anyone happens to know: What happens to a player that falls unconscious during combat through loss of endurance? Does that count as a wound or do they just lie there until the end of combat and come back at 1 HP? Let's complicate the situation a bit more, let's say they are Poisoned and taken an endurance loss at the start of the day to make them hit zero, is that them out for the day? Do they die or do they just live on at 1HP forever like some poisoned husk of a man! 😂

I found another minor one as well, can enemies use Hate during opening vollies for things like extra protection? I believe rules say one Hate per round but you're not really in a round yet.

Thanks for any help people!

How do we know that the Severe Injury takes 6 days to heal? I couldn't find it anywhere how long a Wound takes to heal.

The only thing about the 1ring 2nd edition is that the combat sucks and is boring it needs way more.
