A. Initiative & Order of Actions
- When the Marshal calls for
Quickness, roll it pronto! Based on your results, you get a certain number of actions. Compare your results to the following table:
Result Action Points
Bust 0
2-4 1
5-9 2
10-14 3
15-19 4
20+ 5
You can spend action points to do the following:
1 Point: Add a +1 to the result of a roll. Maximum bonus from this of +2 to any one roll.
1 Point: Take an action, either the first action in a round or an action after another player or the GM's action.
2 Points: Take an action immediately after your own action.
B. Combat Actions
Step 1:
Player
- Describe your attack
- Roll for the Attack
- Roll for the Location
- Roll
Strength if fighting in melee
- Roll any applicable damage dice.
- Post your rolls in the OOC Gaming Table thread, and specify whether how you'd like your raises used. As the rules suggest, you can use them to shift the location of your attack up or down. Per House Rules, you could alternatively choose to use your raise to add an additional damage die.
Step 2:
The Marshal
- Determine whether or not player hits.
- If the player hits, determine the number of wounds caused.
- If the target is armored, will reroll the player's damage dice as appropriate.
- If the player gets any raises, the Marshal will roll better damage dice or location change and append them to the post.
- Post the results of the hit determination as well as the damage, if any.
