Beatrice in Combat Cheat Sheet

Offensive

General Unarmed Attack

Strength+Brawl-Defense

• Unarmed attacks deal Lethal damage.
• Unarmed attacks may be considered a 2L weapon.
• On a successful Brawl attack, roll Dexterity and deal successes as bonus damage.
• On a successful Strength roll, add an additional success to the result. This may make it an Exceptional Success.

Initiating a Grapple

Strength+Brawl-Defense to Initiate a Grapple

• Add opponent's armor as bonus to initiating a grapple.
• May take -2 to attack roll to cause 1 bashing per 2 successes, min 1, and inflict the Agony Tilt. Target loses use of a hand until hand is healed.
  • Agony tilt not on the tilt references list for Fate's Harvest
• On a successful Strength roll, add an additional success to the result. This may make it an Exceptional Success.

During a Grapple

Strength+Brawl vs Opponent's Strength+Brawl. Winning chooses one option from below, or two if exceptional success. Rolled at highest initiative.

• +2 Strength for Resisting Overpower Maneuvers (You don't declare if you're overpowering or not until you win, so this must be rolled after an opponent wins the grapple and declares an Overpower option)
• Attempts to Overpower Beatrice cause 1 Bashing to opponent.
• Successfully Overpowering an Opponent may cause an extra 1L damage. This damage is in addition to all other effects.
• May Inflict 1 Bashing damage per two successes scores, min 1, on ANY successful check during a grapple. If using the Damage option, add this to the Damage.
• On a successful Strength roll, add an additional success to the result. This may make it an Exceptional Success.

Grapple Options

• Standard Option: Break Free - Take standard Grapple check. Success is treated as reflexive action, allowing another immediate action. This is the ONLY Option that is not considered an Overpower option.
• Standard Option: Control Weapon - Draw a weapon or turn opponent's weapon against them. Keep control until your opponent uses this option.
• Standard Option: Damage - Deal bashing damage equal to rolled successes. If you previously succeeded in a Control Weapon action, add the weapon bonus to your successes.
• Standard Option: Disarm - Must first have succeeded at Control Weapon move. Disarm acts as normal other than being rolled as a Grapple.
• Standard Option: Drop Prone - You and opponent are made Prone. Must Break Free before standing.
• Standard Option: Hold - You and Opponent both lose Defense against incoming attacks.
• Standard Option: Restrain - Must already have succeeded at a Hold move. Opponent suffers the Immobilized Tilt. If equipment was used to Restrain opponent, you may leave the grapple.
• Standard Option: Take Cover - Use your opponent's body as a shield. Ranged attacks made against you automatically hit them. See the Human Shields rules.
• Special Option: Small Joint Manipulation - May take -2 to attack roll to cause 1 bashing per 2 successes, min 1, and inflict the Agony Tilt. Target loses use of a hand until hand is healed.
  • Agony tilt not on the tilt references list for Fate's Harvest
  • If declaring this option in advance, gain a +2 to the attempt, effectively eliminating the penalty.

Disarm Attempts

Strength+Brawl vs. Opponent's Strength+Athletics. If in a Grapple, use that roll but below modifiers still apply (Never impacted by defense - worth remembering!)

• When using Disarm, step result up one level.
  • Dramatic failure is just a failure.
  • Failure still causes enemy to be drop their weapon.
  • Success allows you to take their weapon.
  • Exceptional Success allows you to take their weapon, and they take two bashing damage.
• On a successful Strength roll, add an additional success to the result. This may make it an Exceptional Success.

Inflicting Tilts

• Stunned Tilt: Treat opponent as 1 size smaller, 2 sizes smaller if targeting their head. Tilt lasts for turns equal to damage dealt and target must spend Willpower or be unconscious.

Special Abilities

• Choke - Grapple maneuver. Must first have succeeded at Hold move. If more successes than twice victim's stamina, they are unconscious for (6-Stamina) minutes. If unsuccessful may repeat each turn and stack successes until successful.
• Hard Surfaces - Requires grapple. Deal Lethal Damage, end Grapple. Cannot use with Armored Coffin or Turnabout. (Not useful, can do this anyway)
