Hunting System

On Warrior Clan Cats, we provide users with a hunting system they can utilize for in-character requirements or to spice up roleplaying by adding an element of chance. This hunting system implements the use of the Hunting Dice and elements of the battle system found here.

The hunting system is not required for every hunt; however, it must be used in formal assessments, as it is part of the rank system requirements. In order for the patrol to be used to meet the rank requirements, a roll other than 10 must be rolled. If there is only one roll, and it is a 10, it does not count for the hunting system being used as a 10 brings about a predator. A different roll will be required either prior to or following the encounter for it to count towards the hunting patrol requirement.

If you are looking for the predator list you can find it just below this post!

Under the hunting system, the roleplayer chooses what prey they wish to hunt from the list attached below. Below each prey type are the dice rolls needed for a successful hunt for each Clan. The numbers are adjusted to represent the Clan's natural sources of prey along with their natural skill for catching that prey. Additionally, certain boards under each clan territory offer a passive boost to hunting success rates, these boards have a description stating the passive +2 to hunting ranges. Keep that in mind when posting your hunting rolls, as a 1-4 chance normally would become a 1-6 chance, increasing the chances of success, however, a roll of 10 will always result in a predator encounter. Please note that the numbers also change for each season. Check that you're looking at the right one - the current season is in bold! It is also listed in the announcements bar at the top of the forum.

You can also keep in mind that Newleaf begins around March 20th, Greenleaf begins around June 20th, Leaf-fall begins around September 20th, and Leaf-bare begins around December 20th.

During a harsh season, the chance of encountering a predator is increased. Rolling an 8, 9 or 10 will trigger a predator encounter.

If your cat is disabled then you have a -2 chance to catch something. (If something is 1-8 chance then your new chance is 1-6.)
If your cat is disadvantaged due to not holding a disputed territory, there is an additional -1 chance to catch something. This stacks with the disabled penalty.
If something is not marked with a 0 then a disabled or disadvantaged cat can still catch it with a roll of 1.

EP Costs for each season:
-2EP for hunting in Newleaf or Greenleaf
-4EP for hunting in Leaf-fall and Leaf-bare
-6EP for hunting in harsh season


*Outsider territory is considered to be all the territories who don't belong to any clan BUT the borders. Those places are still restricted to clans' hunting numbers.
