Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Combat Cheat Sheet (DRAFT) by

Combat in WFRP 2nd Edition

This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.

Combat Order

Each character takes one or more actions per round.
1. Roll initia­tive: Agility + 1d10.
2. Determine order: Rank the scores from highest to lowest.
3. Take turns: Each combatant takes a turn.
a. Roll to hit: less or equal to WS for melee, BS for ranged attacks.
b. Determine hit location: reverse the attack roll and check the hit location chart.
c. Roll for damage: 1d10 + weapon damage
d. Reduce damage: subtract the TB and AP from the opponent.
e. Subtract wounds: subtract any remaining damage from wounds.
4. Round Ends: repeat steps 4 and 5 as needed.
Note: Surprised combatants skip their turn on the first round.

Dodge and Parry

Parry: WS test. If succes­full, no damage is taken. Free action if a weapon is ready in secondary hand or action Parrying Stance was taken.
 
Dodge Blow: Ag test before damage roll. If succes­full, attack misses.
Note: Only one parry or dodge attempt per round.
A character can't attempt to parry and dodge the same attack.
Ranged attacks can't be dodged or parried.

Unarmed Combat

Unarmed attacks inflict SB -4 damage.
Grapple with Charge or Standard attack. After hit, opponent must fail an S test to be grappled.
Grappled character can break the grapple with a full action and by winning an opposed S Test. Grappler may take a full action to maintain the grapple and inflict unarmed damage, if he wins an opposed S Test in his turn.
Note: APs count double against unarmed attacks.
By grapple attempt, involved characters can't dodge or parry. External melee attacks gain +20% WS against them.
