New page

'''Combat''' occurs when characters engage creatures or non-player characters in battle. There are three phases of combat.

==Phases==
# initiative - determines awareness and who goes first
# action - participants perform non-combat and combat actions; repeats until disengage phase
# disengage - combat is over when enemies are dead, have given up or fled, or the players die, give up, or flee.

Post-combat returns to normal gameplay and players may capture or loot enemies, etc.

==Dealing Damage==
Everything is determined from a single dice roll. If an attack is successful, the off-colored die determines damage amount (accounting for weapon level and other considerations) as well as hit placement.

*4 - right hand, weapon if present

-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.
+If you're using [[Swift Edition Rules|swift rules]], use the same method as skills checks. Add [[Trait]] and [[Skill]] points, then roll 2xd10 (roll under). For example, if DEX score is 6 and Edged score is 6, a player needs to roll a 12 or less on 2 dice to stab a baddie in the guts. Add or subtract from the score to account for difficulty level. Using this same example, assume that it is a smoke-filled room and the attacking character has a difficult time seeing the target. Subtract 1 or 2 from their score and now they need to roll 10 or 11 to succeed. Off-colored or percentile die determines hit placement if random placement is desired.

 Everything is determined from a single dice roll. If an attack is successful, the off-colored die determines hit placement. Damage is then dealt to that location by multiplying the weapon damage by the [[Increment of Success]] and adding in any damage bonuses afterward (see [[Damage]] for a full breakdown).

		+	Players roll two d10 dice and compare the roll to their [[Reflex]] score. Those who rolled under reflex are aware of what's happening. Those who fail this roll are caught off-guard (and take damage if the attack was successful). From here, participants go in order from lowest roll to highest.
