I finally got around to contacting Lee at RSI to enquire about the CIC [Consortium Information Collection] that my Dueling Friend the Consortium has mentioned in the DM 93 Newsletter from time to time over the past few months.
After asking Lee about what exactly the CIC is and if a copy was available for me as a Duel 2 Sponsor, she graciously informed me that a copy would be sent to me in the mail right away!
I highly recommend that every New Player request their own copy for reference purposes!
There are 4.5 pages of extremely important information to assist you in your future managerial career!
Page One of this Consortium Confidential has a Damage Chart that is worth the price of admission! When creating a new warrior from either a New Team Roll Up Sheet or from a Warrior Replacement Sheet, you can look at the Size of your warrior and then determine the possibilities of its potential Damage Rating by the number of points on its starting Strength, compared to the Damage Rating after adding from zero to six of your total 14 Creative Points to the original number of Strength Points!
Page One also includes charts for Endurance, Hit Points [the amount of damage your warrior can possibly endure], Encumbrance [how much weight in Weapons and Armor your warrior can possibly carry], Coordination and a Height Chart [revealing the Size of your warrior in feet and inches].
The Height Chart comes in handy for those managers who are curious as to the Size of an opponent their warriors face on the battle-arena sands! For Example: when you read your fight sheet and your warrior is listed as being 7' and your opponent is listed as being 5'10" that means your warrior is a Size 20 and your opponent is a Size 12.
Page Two has charts for High Wit Statements, Intelligence, Style Suitability [Weapons], Weapon Requirements Primary-Hand and Armor & Helm weights! [Weapon weights are listed in the Weapons Requirements Primary-Hand Chart].
Page Three includes the Bagman2 Skill Chart, Accuracy Percentage Chart and Style Modifier Chart.
The Bagman2 Skill Chart reveals how many Skills your warrior receives in relation to the points you used for Strength, Wit, Will, Speed, Deftness and Size when you created your warrior!
What the Bagman2 Skill Chart in the CIC does not mention is that when you create an Aimed Blow warrior, you are to double the number of Attack Skills listed for Deftness Skills! Example: a Lunger with a 21 Deftness gets 10 Attack Skills, but an Aimer with 21 Deftness gets 20 Attack Skills at creation!
The Style Modifier Chart is used to subtract the number of Skills from Initiative, Riposte, Attack, Parry, Defense and Decise; which varies according to what Fighting Style you chose to make your warrior!
Page Four and 4.5 provide brief written explanations of how you can use the information on these charts; plus, an examination of the entire CIC in detail to help you to decipher the meaning and usage of all the charts on the previous pages!
