Combat Skill Rolls

When one character attacks another, both characters perform a Combat Skill Roll. This is a Skill Roll based on a character’s choice of Combat Skill.

Some bonuses or penalties only apply to a Combat Skill Roll when the character is attacking or defending. To differentiate between these, we use the terms Attacking Skill Roll and Defending Skill Roll.

An Attacking Skill Roll represents an attempt to land a hit against another character.

Attacking Skill Roll = Skill Dice Roll + Attack Modifiers

A Defending Skill Roll represents an attempt to block, parry, dodge, or otherwise thwart the attack.

Defending Skill Roll = Skill Dice Roll + Defense Modifiers

The Hit Result represents whether the attack landed successfully against the defending character.

If the Hit Result is greater than 0, the attack is successful. If the Hit Result is 0 or less, the attack is unsuccessful.

Hit Result = Attacking Skill Roll - Defending Skill Roll

When an attack succeeds, we need to calculate the Damage Dealt.

Damage Bonuses are based on the attacking character’s applicable skills and possessions.

Damage Reductions are based on the defending character’s applicable skills and possessions.

If the Damage Dealt is greater than 0, the defending character subtracts the Damage Dealt from their Hit Points.

Damage Dealt = Hit Result + Damage Bonuses - Damage Reductions

In these terms, one character attacking another character follows these steps:

  1. The attacking character chooses a Combat Skill and rolls the number of dice appropriate to their Skill Rank.
  2. The attacking character calculates their Attacking Skill Roll.
  3. The defending character chooses a skill and rolls the number of dice appropriate to their Skill Rank.
  4. The defending character calculates their Defending Skill Roll.
  5. The attacking character calculates the Hit Result. If the Hit Result is 0 or less, the attack is unsuccessful (do not perform steps 6 and 7).
  6. If the Hit Result is greater than 0, the attacking character calculates the Damage Dealt.
  7. The defending character subtracts the Damage Dealt from their Hit Points.

Combat Examples

  2. The attacker rolls 2d6, with a total result of 9.
  3. The defender has the Expert rank in the One-Handed Weapon skill. The defender rolls 3d6, with a total result of 12.

  4. The Hit Result is calculated (9 - 5 = 4) and the attacker succeeds in landing a hit on the defender.
  5. There are no Damage Bonuses or Damage Reductions, so the Damage Dealt is 4.
