| − | ==How it works==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Initiative==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Initiative (who will hit first) will be computed at every turn and will depend on the reach attribute of each character’s weapon. If the weapons have the same reach, the initiative will be computed randomly.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Initiative = f( Attacker Weapon Length, Defender Weapon Length )
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Consecutive Hits==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Range 1-3. Consecutive hits are Negatively affected by the attacking character’s weapon weight and weapon length, and
| + | |
| − | positively affected by the attacking character’s Strength and Energy.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Consecutive attacks number = f( Weapon Length (Reach), Strength, Energy )
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Energy consumption===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Energy is very important in battle; The energy consumed for each hit will depend on:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Weapon weight | + | |
| − | * War encumbrance
| + | |
| − | * Strength
| + | |
| − | * Constitution
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Energy depleted for each hit = f( Weapon Weight, War Encumbrance, Strength )
| + | |
| − | Energy restored for each hit = f( Constitution )
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Hit and Miss Chance==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Logic to hit or miss depends on the attacker and defender Dexterity.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | hit percentage = f( Attacker Dexterity, Defender Dexterity )
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Note: If a character is stunned the attacker has a 100% chance to hit the opponent.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Damage==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Damage complete formula===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Dealt damage depends from the following factors:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Weapon Damage | + | |
| − | * Weapon Condition
| + | |
| − | * Strength
| + | |
| − | * Energy
| + | |
| − | * Defender AC
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====The Base Damage====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Base Damage = f ( Weapon Damage, Weapon Condition, Strength, Energy) + Strength / 6
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Base Damage is randomly selected within the range of damage values for the equipped weapon. With a Strength value of 10, an energy value of 50%, and a weapon condition of 50%, the damage will be randomly selected using a Normal (Gaussian) distribution centered on the mean of the weapon’s damage range.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Thus, if the range is 1-7, a 4 will have the best odds of being rolled and a 1 and a 7 would have the worst odds of being rolled.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | With increasing Strength, Energy and Weapon Condition, the distribution is skewed more toward the maximum of the range.
| + | |
| − | With decreasing Strength, Energy and Weapon Condition, the distribution is skewed more toward the minimum of the range.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Base Damage is then partitioned in Blunt Damage and Cutting Damage accordingly to the weapon Cutting Damage/Blunt Damage.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Blunt Damage===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Stunning an opponent====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Cutting Damage===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Bleed Damage====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===The Critical Hit===
