	Occasionally, your character may be '''Knocked Down''' due to attacks made by the enemy or other effects like being pushed or blown back by explosions.

Created page with "=Before Combat= Sometimes during the campaign, your character will be forced into a situation where they must fight other people or creatures either to live or to subdue them..."

New page

=Before Combat=
Sometimes during the campaign, your character will be forced into a situation where they must fight other people or creatures either to live or to subdue them for a greater goal. Many of your character [[Attributes]], [[Skill List|Skills]] and commands are designed for combat specifically. '''Make sure your character's stats and commands are ready before the game starts''' so that the GM may prompt you and the team into combat when appropriate.

* The GM will usually indicate to the group that they will soon be entering combat, whether the characters wish to fight or not.
* The GM will give everyone a brief moment to get ready and then they will announce combat has begun. Initiative is then decided either by '''order of Agility''' or an '''inter-leaved''' sort of agility.

=Combat Start: Initiative=
Before battle can truly begin, all player characters and enemy units have to be put into the Initiative window in Maptool.

* If the Initiative style is '''Basic''': All player characters and enemy units are sorted from the highest [[Attributes|agility]] to the lowest agility, tie-breakers are determined by dice roll. This can sometimes allow one group to take turns consecutively.

** Your GM decide on the Initiative style as well as sorting the PCs and enemy units according to their chosen ruleset, you as a player do not need to do anything until it is your turn to act.

=Your Turn=
When the GM or the player before you ends their turn, Initiative moves to your character, this is the point where your character may act during this [[round]]. If the character used some action that lasts a certain duration of time, this event also counts down the remaining rounds that effect remains active; when the effect duration becomes 0 due to this event, the effect ends.

==00: Turn Begins Event==
If there are any status effects, timers or abilities that trigger at the start of your turn, this event occurs before you are able to do anything else.

==01: Character Movement==
If your character is not affected by any movement impeding effects, your character is permitted to move a number of steps equal to the '''Free Movement''' stat.
(Default: A Medium-sized creature like a [[Human]] can move 6 steps)

You may move your character before, during or after any action that consumes Action Points (AP), but only if said action can be completed the same turn.

==02: Character Action-Commands==
If your character is able to act, they can use '''Commands''' as long as they meet the basic conditions of their action, such as designating a target and being in range to perform a melee attack, or having the necessary resources to cast a spell; and that they have the necessary Action Points to execute it.
(Learn more about Commands via the [[Actions]] page. Standard actions usually cost 50AP while Advanced ones can cost 100AP.)

==03: Ending your Turn==
If your character has moved into the position you want (to the maximum given by their stats), does not have enough AP to execute more actions. You can then '''End your turn''' by informing the GM or clicking the next-in-initiative button as directed by your GM in Maptool. By clicking next-in-initiative you allow the next PC or the enemy unit to start their turn.

'''Don't forget to make the end of your turn known to the GM or ending your turn manually, as saying nothing can stall the game. The GM will end your turns for you if you refuse to comply.'''

=Outside your Turn / While Waiting for your next turn=
When your turn ends, you will have to wait and watch as the other players and the GM's units take their turns, pay attention to what is going on because enemy units especially may attack or otherwise endanger your character or your allies.

==Reaction Opportunities==
If an event or circumstance occurs in which your character is able to take action, and they have enough AP to do so. Your character will be able to perform a '''Reaction''' and take the opportunity to do something even though it is not their turn yet.

'''Disrupt'''
If an enemy unit tries to pass by your character within melee range, they can perform a shove attack using ToHit. If they are successful, they can deal minor damage to them and interrupt their movement. Alternatively they can execute an attack command instead to do more damage.
This action cost 25AP for a simple disrupt, and the same cost as their attack command if an attack is used. AP is lost whether your character lands their attack or not.

Note!
Disrupt cannot affect units that are using an action to move (such as a Charge), it can only affect units using normal movement. A Reaction Attack may still deal damage but they still won't be able to disrupt a unit performing an Action-based move.

'''Sidestep'''
If an enemy attacks your character, and you successfully evade (or deflect) the attack, your character is able to move a number of steps equal to the radius of the attack. If an attack is directed at one square, the character can move one (1) space in any direction not blocked by terrain or other units. Explosions and other area-of-effect attacks will require the character to use Sidestep to exit the attack's area-of-effect upon a successful dodge.

==Knocked Down / Getting Back Up==
Occasionally, your character may be '''Knocked Down''' due to attacks made by the enemy or other effects like being pushed or blown back by explosions. When your character is knocked down they cannot perform actions while prone or on their back and this can also make them vulnerable to attack as they won't be able to dodge or move.

'''Quick Get-Up'''
By expending a standard action (50AP), your character can get back up after your opponent finishes their turn. By standing back up outside your turn, you prevent your character from being taken advantage of by other enemies that round.

'''Normal Get-Up'''
By spending no AP after being knocked down, your character will remain knocked down until the beginning of their turn. They will then get up automatically and be cleared of the status.

'''Help Up'''
If an ally is knocked down, you can help them back up on your own turn as a Quick Action (25AP), this saves them AP and removes Downed status from them. Allies can also do the same for you should you be knocked down.

=End of Combat: Typical Win/Loss Conditions=
The end of combat is usually signalled by the GM and determined by the status of the participating groups.

==Win Conditions==
'''All enemies defeated'''
Your character and their allies wins if they manage to defeat all enemies either by killing them, knocking them unconscious or forcing the enemies to retreat and let them escape.

'''Objective achieved'''
The battle is considered won if a special objective or condition is met, even if other hostiles are in the area. This condition usually causes other hostiles to stand down or be automatically defeated by association.

'''Objective-based Time-lapse'''
If the battle has a special condition to make sure that an object or creature remains safe/alive for a certain amount of time, the character and their party may win by letting the time lapse to zero. Enemy units may retreat or be instantly defeated upon successful protection of the objective.

'''Objective-based Escort reaches destination'''
The battle requires carrying an object or escorting a creature to a certain location successfully, the party will win the battle.

==Loss Conditions==
Losing at battles may not always end the party members lives but may end optional quest chains. In some cases the party may retry the battle again.
'''All party members knocked out or incapacitated'''
The battle ends if no party member is left to act. Their fate depends on the opposing forces, if the enemy is savage or feral the party may die from being eaten or killed whereas more intelligent or opportunistic enemies may hold them for ransom.

'''Party member is killed outright'''
If a party member is killed in such a way that they cannot be brought back to life, the battle may end due to a party member being terminated. This loss condition may be cancelled if the player whose character was killed accepts their death to create a new character or leave the game; when this occurs, the battle will resume and the terminated party member stays dead (unless revived later).

'''Protect Objective Failure'''
The battle will end in a loss if the objective the party was meant to keep intact/alive is destroyed/killed before they ran out the time or took the objective to the intended location.

'''Ran out of Time'''
The party will lose a battle or scenario if they had a certain time limit to complete an objective or reach a certain place in time, sometimes requiring all party members to reach a location in time.
