| the ring shifts 15% ATB at the beginning of the battle, how does it work exactly? is the 15% added to the initiative of the troops? for example, my warden has 10.7 initiative, and necro's skeletal xbow has 13.6. is it possible for my warden to move before skeletal xbow with the ring? | https://www.lordswm.com/forum_messages.php?tid=1832909
You see the example they use here about the "Runners"?
Lets say the Track has a distance of 1Km, I'd say its something like "The Runners begins the race with an advantage of 150M".
Meaning before the race even begins, he already has some distance covered.
Its different from "The Runner runs faster", as you imply here:
is the 15% added to the initiative of the troops?
Though its true that the advantage depends on the Ini of the Monster, since its a "%" of that. | my warden has 10.7 initiative, and necro's skeletal xbow has 13.6. is it possible for my warden to move before skeletal xbow with the ring?
No, the difference is huge Imho. | is it possible for my warden to move before skeletal xbow with the ring?
Honestly, I'd be very surprised if it wasn't possible for your warden to move first. | Ipsen's example is pretty clear, moving on the atb bar is like distance, and your initiative is like speed.
Speed = distance/time
Time = distance/speed
Time(wardens with ring) = 0.85/10.7 = 0.0794
Time(skeles) = 1/13.6 = 0.0735
It is clear skeles go first, however let's calculate what is the faster you can go and slowest skeles can go, since there can be up to a 10% you now start 25% ahead instead of 15%.
Time(wardens with ring and 10% boost) = 0.75/10.7 = 0.0701
Therefore with the ring it is possible that you go before skeles, but quite unlikely. | since there can be up to a 10% you now start 25% ahead instead of 15%.
That is not possible. I think you misunderstand how the ATB init bonus is applied.
The initiative bonus is not applied on a scale of -10% to +10% only from 0 to +10%.
The range of the starting initiative for the Skeletal X-bows is 13.6 - 14.96.
With the ring - the scale places you at the 15%, removing the deviation. So the Wardens will have an initiative boost to 12.305.
12.305 initiative means that even in the first turn, the wardens will always move after the skeletal x-bows which will have a minimum of 13.6 initative and 14.96 maxmimum for the first turn. |
