Combat

• On your turn: 1 Swift, 2 Standard (only one Standard Movement, only one Standard Attack), and any number of Free Actions. You also get 1 Attack of Opportunity each turn.
• During your turn: Swift, Standard, Full, Free.
• During others’ turns: Immediate, Attack of Opportunity, Free.
• Instead of 2 Standard Actions, you may take a Full Round Action and a 5 ft step.
• AoOs are generally available when an enemy moves more than 10 feet into or out of your Area of Influence (usually 5 ft melee / 15 ft ranged). Details on Encounters.

1. Roll d20 for Attack (plus d20s for Advantages / Disadvantages) and add Attack Modifiers (DEX Mod for ranged, Class Attack Bonus, ability mods, situational, etc.).
2. If the total exceeds the target’s Defense (with bonuses), the attack hits.
3. On a hit: roll damage dice → add STR Mod (melee only) → apply ability multipliers → then add passive / stack / other damage bonuses at the end → apply to hit points.

• Subdual tracks separately from lethal HP. A character with 50 HP who takes 10 lethal has 40 HP left; taking 10 subdual keeps 40 HP but now also has 10 subdual.
• Unconscious if HP goes below 0, or if subdual total ever exceeds remaining HP.
• Permanent death if HP goes below −9.
• Example: 20 HP and 15 subdual, then +7 subdual → 22 subdual ≥ 20 HP → unconscious.

• Drawing or sheathing typically costs a Standard Action.
• After 2 points in the craft: draw/sheathe becomes a Swift Action.
• After 4 points in the craft: draw/sheathe becomes a Free Action.
• Combat “Quickdraw” note: drawing becomes Free at 4 points in a single fighting style; that note also says sheathing remains Standard — use DM judgment if the two notes disagree.

• +1 Advantage and +1 Disadvantage cancel → roll normally.
• +2 Advantage and +1 Disadvantage → net +1 Advantage.

Common sources

• Elevation
• Cover
• Concealment
• Behind
• Flanking (you and an ally are in the target’s AoI)

• Disengage

  Standard action replacing your attack. Move out of / through AoIs without AoO. No extra movement distance.

• Dual Wielding

  Wield 2 weapons allowed by your style at no penalty (except bows). Choose which weapon deals damage on a Standard Attack; on a Full Attack assign each attack to a weapon. No extra Attacks or Damage.

• Armor

  Does not add Defense. Absorbs a set amount of damage per round, with penalties. See Armor.

• Unskilled Fighting

  Weapon outside your style: 1 APM, no Class Attack Bonus, no craft abilities or stacks. Other bonuses (situational, flanking, etc.) still apply.

• Surprise Attack

  If some characters were unaware: surprise round — only the aware side rolls initiative and acts. Then everyone else rolls initiative and combat continues.

• Full Concealment

  Invisibility, blindness, etc. may apply a second Advantage or Disadvantage die. Blind attacker: +1 Disadvantage on attacks; attacks against them +1 Advantage. Blind target: you +1 Advantage; they +1 Disadvantage on their attacks.

• Watch the Friendly Fire! — Target has allies within 5 ft you must avoid → Disadvantage.
• Tangado Haid! — Allies within 5 ft of you do not break your Line of Sight.
• Point Blank Shot — Ranged attack within 5 ft of the target → Disadvantage. (Also: attacks inside your AoI are at Disadvantage, but successful hits deal full dice damage.)
• Defending Against Melee — While wielding a ranged weapon, melee attackers have Advantage against you.
