Combat Quick Referece Sheet

Combat Quick Reference

As soon as any character decides to engage in combat, switch to the quint time system.

In general, a character, NPC, or monster can perform one action per quint as moderated by the ST – an example would be to draw a sword and slash, or pick up a stone and throw it.

If either party has not yet been seen by the other, allow Surprise attack. This negates the opponent’s defense roll. If there is no surprise, roll Initiative, adding the player’s Reaction to the roll. Give most NPCs and monsters a Reaction of 4 unless you choose to give them more or less based on circumstances.
Perform actions in order of Initiative. Most often this will be to attack or cast a spell.
If attack –

Roll your percentage to hit. (DX x 3 + 6% per rank. If unfamiliar with weapon, subtract HA.)
If struck, opponent rolls Defense. (AG – 12 x 4)
If Defense is successful, the attack is over.
If Defense is unsuccessful, roll for damage (d10+DB), modifying based on armor. Armor ratings are simply subtracted from the damage done.
Actual damage of 7 or more indicates chance of Grievous Injury (consult tables).

4. If spell – consult Spell Casting Quick Reference Sheet.
5. Move to next person in Initiative order and begin at 1.

Anyone reaching 0 DP will fall unconscious. -10 DP equates with death. Any roll of 100 indicates a greatly beneficial result for the player, even if an opponent rolls the 100.

Some basic opponent examples –

Type	Weapon	% to Hit	DM	DT	DP	Def.	Reac.	P S C	# attacks
Common Fighter	Knife	40	1	S	15	8	3	- - -	1
Town Guard	Broadsword	60	4	S	25	12	4	2 4 3	1
Adventurer	Hand & Half	75	5	S	30	20	6	2 4 3	1
Elite Guard	Rapier	85	5	P	40	36	8	3 6 3	2
Knight	Longsword	95	6	S	55	40	9	8 9 8	2
Sereg Warrior	Sword	85	7	S	60	30	6	- - -	2
Troll	Battle Axe	80	8	S	70	35	8	- - -	2

Basic Unarmed Combat -- % to hit = AG+DX+6% per rank.

DB = - 3 + 1 per 3 points ST above 16.

DT = C

Defend Only – Decided per quint – fighter gets x2 Def., but no attacks or other actions that quint.

Attack Only – Decided per quint – fighter adds 20% on their % to hit and adds their DB twice instead of once to their 1d10 roll. Fighter gets no defense against any attacks that quint, and can perform no other actions.
