A character's [[Difficulty Rating]] is determined by a number of factors. The base DR is [[Reflex]] divided by 2. Round ''down'' if this Reflex is an odd number. After that, DR goes up or down depending on the situation:

==DR Rating Modifiers==
*'''Taking Cover''' - Taking cover behind a suitable object gives a +1 bonus to DR.
*'''Fortified''' - Taking shelter in a fortified position gives a +2 bonus to DR.
*'''Hiding''' - Hiding an undetected means a character can only be hit through unintentional means (a grenade, for example). Detected but hiding gives a +1 bonus to DR.
*'''Darkness''' - High levels of darkness give a +2 bonus to DR, low light situations give a +1 bonus to DR.
*'''Distance''' - far distances can also provide a bonus to DR, depending on the type of attack being used.
*'''Tagged''' - a player who is "targeted" gets a -1 mod to DR; perhaps a player decided to use themselves as a distraction or uses the [[Incite]] trick
*'''Incapacitated''' - a player who is incapacitated gets a -2 mod to DR.
*'''Consumables''' - some consumables can lower DR.
*'''Poison''' - some poisons can lower DR.
*'''Maimed''' - getting maimed can lower DR.

 ==Gamemaster Tip==
-Dealing with multiple players with multiple [[Character Difficulty Ratings]] may become cumbersome, especially if you're rolling for NPCs. To simplify things, it may be helpful to roll 1 die and pit the result against a player character's DR. For example, if a PC has a DR of 4, simply roll a d10 and a number greater than 4 is a success. This can make combat more streamlined, allowing for faster calculations and fewer dice rolls.
