THE NEXUS
COMBAT BASICS
Typical Actions and Tests
1. Determine surprise (If necessary) & Roll for initiative
2. GM assigns Environmental Modifiers. The players are expected to understand and apply compensation bonuses for their own gear
​
3. Determine which situational modifiers for ranged or melee apply to your attack, or if you are defending reference the Defense Modifiers Table.
​
4. The attack test is an opposed test of the attackers
Skill + Agi vs Rea + Int (Typically). The defender might also choose to do full defense; dodge; block or parry which gives more dice.
​
5. If the defender wins, it's a miss. If the attacker wins, he adds the net hits to the DV of his attack. If the modified DV doesn't exceed the armor value (Adjusted for any AP of the attack) of the defender, the damage is stun.
​
6. The defender resists using a dice pool = Bod + Armor value. Every hit reduces the # of boxes of damage = DV of attack. The remaining is taken as either stun or physical as appropriate.
