| Combat Summary Chart
|
| Stage One: Intent
|
| • |
The players and the Storyteller describe what their characters want out of the fight.
|
| • |
Decide whether characters can surrender and can become Beaten Down.
|
| Stage Two: Initiative
|
| • |
If the attacker springs an ambush or otherwise strikes when the defender isn’t able to counter, the defender rolls Wits + Composure contested by the attacker’s Dexterity + Stealth. If the defender fails, she doesn’t act on the first turn of combat and cannot apply Defense against attacks.
|
| • |
Everyone rolls Initiative: the result of a die roll + Dexterity + Composure. If the character has a weapon readied, apply its Initiative Modifier. If the character is wielding two weapons (say, a sword and shield) choose the higher of the two Initiative modifiers and add +1. This is the character's new modifier.
|
| Stage Three: Attack
|
| • |
Unarmed Combat: Strength + Brawl vs. Defense
|
| • |
Melee Combat: Strength + Weaponry vs. Defense
|
| • |
Ranged Combat: Dexterity + Firearms
|
| • |
Thrown Weapons: Dexterity + Athletics vs. Defense
A character’s Defense is normally subtracted from any attack dice pools where it applies. If she chooses to Dodge, the defender rolls her Defense as a dice pool against each attack. Each success reduces the attacker’s successes by one. If the attacker is reduced to zero successes, the attack does nothing. If the attacker has successes remaining, add any weapon modifier to the number of successes to determine how many points of Health the target loses. All weapons deal lethal damage.
|
| Stage Four: The ST has the player pose their actions, descriptive, but brief, while the next player declares an action and rolls it.
|
