Character Advancement
Earning Advances |
1-3 advances determined by GM. |
Spending Advances |
You can only spend advances on Career Skills, on a 1:1 basis. |
| |
Because your Unique Career Skill changes based on averaging out your scores in your Career Skills, be sure to adjust it as needed when you spend advances on Career Skills |
| |
Every time your Unique Career Skill goes up by 1, add 1 to your Stamina |
Combat Overview
Initiative |
Each Side (PC and Enemies) rolls 1d6. Higher roll means that side (not just a single actor) wins init |
| |
One PC or Enemy takes their action, then someone from the other side die |
| |
Anyone from a side can "go" on a turn. Players should decide tactically who makes sense to go when |
Actions |
You get ONE action per turn, movement is an action |
| |
You can move up to 2meters in combination with an action, without the move counting as an action |
| |
Disengaging is an action, but is free and doesn't create opportunity attacks |
Movement |
Ranges are Close, Nearby, Far Away, and Distant |
| |
Characters can move one Range as their movement for the round (this is their one action for the round) |
Critical Damage (hitting 0 or less Stamina)
Reduced to exactly 0 Stamina |
Roll 2d6, look up weapon's Crit chart and apply the result |
- Reduced to below 0 Stamina |
Roll 2d6, but at +1 for each point of Stamina Damage taken that takes the PC below 0. Ex, you have 6 Stamina, incoming attack does 8 damage, adding +2 to the Critical roll |
- Currently below 0 and hit again |
Always add the current negative score the PC has in Stamina to the Crit roll |
- Pulling punches (melee) |
An attacker can, if they realize the target will go below 0 on an attack, pull / reduce the damage so it puts the target right at 0 |
Healing
Catch your breath (30 mins) |
Characters recover half their lost stamina as soon as they take half an hour to catch their breath. They can do nothing else during this time. |
Full healing |
A good night's sleep will heal someone fully |
Critical Injuries |
When downed by a Critical Hit (going to 0 or less Stamina) you can only recover by someone using their MEDICINE skill on you. Having a medkit grants a +5 bonus. The wounded person can try to heal themselves with a Med roll at -5. If med roll is failed, PC takes a penalty = to their current negative stamina until they get medical attention of a more serious level, such as at a hospital. So a PC at -4 Stamina would take a -4 on all rolls if the medicine roll failed them. |

Adding a new Career
Cost |
5 advancements to taken on a new career |
Skill Costs |

Skill Freeze |
All skills in your old career are frozen, that is, you cannot gain levels in skills of the old career |
Unique Career Skill |
You always keep your old Unique Career Skill, but also gain the new Career's skill |
Combat Rolls
Melee |
Melee is an opposed roll |
| |
Attacker and Defender use the skill for the weapon they are currently using |
| |
Winner of the roll does damage (so the defender can do damage!) |
| |
Whoever initiated the attack gets a +5 on their skill roll for that round |
Ranged |
Roll Attackers SMALL ARMS skill vs Defender's DODGE skill |
| |
All ranges except Far Away have no modifier, but attacking a Far Away target can (GM's discretion) inflict a -5 penalty to attacker |
| |
Attacker wins roll = roll damage. Defender wins roll = no damage, but no other effect (unlike Melee) |
Pinning/suppression fire attack (Ranged) |
Attacker rolls on SPOT skill, defender doesn't roll. On a success, defender dives behind cover and can't do anything for their next round. |
Flanking |
Attacker rolls Athletics test. Success = you flank the target, and get an immediate, and free, Ranged attack with a +5. Failure means you've made yourself an open target, and take -5 to all Dodge rolls until the start of your next round |
Warp Glyphs (aka..magic)
Learning Glyphs |
The warp focus skill is used to manifest glyphs. |
| |
Player characters can learn a number of glyphs equal to half of their career skill in either the Warp touched or Warp lord careers |
| |
Someone must teach the PC glyphs |
Types |
Each warp glyph listing notes whether a standard (denoted S) or opposed (denoted O). |
Warp Glyphs (aka..magic)
Learning Glyphs |
The warp focus skill is used to manifest glyphs. A new Warp-touched character starts with one Glyph rolled at random |
| |
Player characters can learn a number of glyphs equal to half of their career skill in either the Warp touched or Warp lord careers |
| |
Someone must teach the PC glyphs. Once glyphs are learned, they cannot be changed. To learn a new one, you must level up your Career skill to open a new slot |
Type |
Each warp glyph listing (p 161) notes whether a standard (denoted S) or opposed (denoted O). |
Warp Bleed |
Rolling a 1 on Glyph use is a massive failure and causes bleed. Reroll the Warp Skill test, Success = nothing happens, Failure = roll on Warp Bleed table (p153), adding Stamina cost of casting the Glyph as a modifier to the roll |
* Warp mutations |
Permanent Changes caused by warp bleed. Tables are on p.155 |
