What is it that you don't like about 3E combat?Ĭause, you know, 1E, Power Combat, 2E and 2.5 all exist. Gambits are always available, but attempting them makes you vulnerable.Įdit : added Lumi's Glory Overwhelming and Hissatsu If the Gambit targets an enemy, resolve decisive attack/social influence action. If you fail, you weren’t in position to attempt the gambit. Commit 1-20 Init, roll Commitment dice without double 10s against gambit difficulty, on success you are in a position to attempt it. Gambit Initiative check is 100% tied to Commitment. Attempting to attack high Initiative targets makes attacker vulnerable. Initiative acts like Decisive soak, with negative Initiative increasing damage. Total decisive damage rolled is capped by Lethality based on the genre after Hardness check. Negative Initiative adds to damage, positive Initiative lowers it. Decisive raw damage is based on the attacker losing 1-20 Initiative to serve as the base pool, modified by the target’s Initiative. Withering attack is one roll, attacking party doesn’t need to do damage math or alter their own Initiative. Withering attacks do not give Initiative from hitting or damage, only on crashing. Withering attack damage does not get threshold successes added and post-soak damage is applied straight without rolling. Withering attacks no longer grant initiative. Initiative recharges automatically when you do not attack and when you crash enemies. The more in the negatives you are, the more decisive damage you take. The higher your initiative, the less decisive damage you take. Initiative is no longer your damage potential, but functions more like a decisive soak.
