An Example of Combat
Jamison is walking down a tunnerl and, rounding a corner, stumbles into a party of 3 Venusian Grave-Robbers. They are immediately in close combat range. Jamison has an Agility of 3 and a Close Combat Skill of 4, which allows him 4 actions per turn. (The Higher of the 2 skills, Agility or Close Combat is the amount of actions each character has per close combat turn)The Basics of Combat Combat is fought in turns which represent 30 seconds of game time. The character or enemy with the highest Close Combat Skill goes first, unless surprise is achieved by an ambush or other tactic. Each character may perform the following actions during any one action:Referee:The Grave robbers have their knives out and are slashing at you with them. What are you doing? (First Action- Venusians - Attack)
Jamison:I'm dodging the knives and draw my revolver. (First Action - combination dodge and prepare a weapon)
Referee:(rolls dice) Your dodge was successful, and they miss you, but they're trying again. (Second Action- Attack)
Jamison:I'm dodging the knives and firing 3 shots from my revolver, 1 at each of them. (Second Action- combination dodge and attack)
Referee:(rolls dice)They miss you again. You hit one of them, and he drops wounded. The other 2 are still attacking with their knives (Third Action- Attack)
Jamison:I'm still dodging, and I'll fire 2 more rounds from the revolver. (Third Action- combination dodge and attack)
Referee:(rolls dice)You hit one of them, and he drops. The other slashes you with his knife. You take a Light wound to your left arm. They've finished their attacks for the moment. Your wound makes you hesitate for your last action.
