Revised Solo Battle

One thing about the Solo Battle ability that has bothered me is that it
does not help very much. My character's sword skill is higher than his
Solo Battle, so it does him no good to fight alone. So, I changed the
formula to make Solo Battle a real help when a LightRaider is left alone
in a fight. You can see that by adding HOpe and dividing by a smaller
number, a significantly larger Solo Battle score is made.This change could be misused by players though, so the AM must judge each
time it is used. Did the player contrive the opportunity to use Solo
Battle, or was it happenstance? If misused, the player should be
penalized accordingly. If in an unavoidable situation, Solo Battle can
help save the day. But the LightRaider should be reminded that Battle
Prayer is also an option. Perhaps the AM should require a prayer from
the LightRaider before he allowing the use of Solo Battle. This is not
intended to make a LightRaider "invincible", just better at his job.Old Solo Battle
