To all Chasers,
I've realised as I've been doing the rolls that there is a slight flaw with the 'Mark Player' rule, so Mary and I have come up with a way to solve this and we would like to put it into effect immediately.
'Chaser 2 may attempt to evade Chaser 1’s marking in two ways. They may attempt to dodge Chaser 1 (‘Avoid’), using their Dex score, or opt to ‘Barrel’ past their opponent, using their Str score. If they choose to ‘Barrel’, there is a 1 in 4 chance that Madam Hooch will notice this as a foul and will take whatever action she deems appropriate!
The dice rolls for marking and evading are as follows:
Mark = (D4 + Dex)
Avoid = (D8 + Dex)
OR
Barrel = (D6 + Str)'
The problem is that no one is specifying whether they wish to attempt to 'Avoid' or to 'Barrel', because often the players marking them post after the player they're marking. That's fine, but it does mean that players don't usually remember to specify, not knowing when they post that someone is going to try to mark them.
Therefore, please, Chasers, if you wish to Barrel that round, specify that at the time that you post, whether or not you are already being marked. If you don't specify, I will assume that you wish to Avoid.
Please ask if you have any questions!
