# File lib/skirmish/character.rb, line 17
def initialize(name="", initial_level=1, initial_location=3001, description="", keywords=Array.new)

Public Instance Methods

attack(num=1, size=10) click to toggle source

Character's attack each time is calculated based on a roll of 1d10 * level, or as otherwise specified

# File lib/skirmish/character.rb, line 58
def attack(num=1, size=10)
  return roll_dice(num, size) * @level
end

roll_stats(initial_level = 1) click to toggle source

Roll stats for the character. This is based on the D&D 5e creation rules, with some tweaks.

# File lib/skirmish/character.rb, line 30
def roll_stats(initial_level = 1)
  size_roll = roll_dice(2, 10)
  @height = 60 + size_roll                        #inches
  @weight = 110 + roll_dice(2, 3) * size_roll     #pounds

  # Roll 3d6 for each attribute and sort the rolls by size
  rolls = Array.new
  6.times do
    rolls.push roll_dice(3,6)
  end
  rolls.sort! { |a, b| a <=> b }

  # Assign rolls in the standard order for a 'fighter'
  @str = rolls.pop()
  @con = rolls.pop()
  @dex = rolls.pop()
  @cha = rolls.pop()
  @wis = rolls.pop()
  @int = rolls.pop()
  @maxhp = @con + 10
