Hi! when a assasin uses his garrotte to entrangle a person, he must make a Strike chance only one time, and then damage is made atomaticaly every future turn....
... I would say yes, it is an "ongoing" Direct Endurance hit. ... Same as above. Garrottes have no Class for purposes of Grievous Injuries, so a possible...

... It is precisely the "double whammy" or "flip-flop" that I find unfair. In a game system such as DQ, allowing one side to take *two* turns before the...

... I think not to re-roll every round is extremely unrealistic personally. Rolling initiative only once per combat results in a very unrealistic battle....
