Combat

• At the start of combat (or any situation where order matters), everyone rolls to decide the order each act.
• By default, this is an Adaptability check, unless modified by an ability.
• Initiative order goes from most successes to least.
• Tiebreakers:
• Higher stat wins.
• Still tied? Roll 1d12 each — highest roll goes first.

When a weapon or spell attack successfully hits, there is a chance to deal critical damage.

• If the Initiator and Responder roll the same number of successes, the attack cannot crit, even if it hits.
• After a successful hit, the Initiator rolls 1d12. On a result of 12, the hit becomes a Critical Hit.
• A Critical Hit deals extra damage equal to Xd4, where:
• X: the stat used for the attack, not including any modifiers from other effects (items, spells, etc.).
• Some abilities or spells may modify your critical damage die.

Each character has a pool of Action Points each round, divided into three types:

Major Action Type | Stats Used | Formula

• Physical: Adaptability + Vigor + Stability

• Physical Action Points: ((Physical Stats Total ÷ 6) + 1) (rounded down, minimum 1)

• Mental: Willpower + Discernment + Intuition

• Mental Action Points: ((Mental Stats Total ÷ 6) + 1), (rounded down, minimum 1)

• Influence: Resourcefulness + Empathy + Leadership

• Influence Action Points: ((Influence Stats Total ÷ 6) + 1), (rounded down, minimum 1)

• Your Major Action Points reset at the start of your turn.
• Each round, you can use actions from up to two different Major Action Types.
• Actions of the secondary type you can use up to half the max points (rounded up, minimum 1).

• Each Action Type also gives Minor Actions every round.
• Formula: Half of your Max Action Points for that type (rounded up, minimum 1).
• Minor Actions are small or quick tasks.
