Chapter II: Battle


Basic Battle:
The highest speed goes first. Roll a die for ties in speed.
Attack Power (AP): Strength + Weapon Rating
Defense Power (SP): Speed + Armor Rating
For A to hit B:
1) A Spd - B Spd + A ADice If >= B Spd - A Spd + B DDice
If > Hit, if = Caught Hit, if < Miss.
Hit: 2) B Hlth + B DP - A AP = B Hlth
Caught Hit: 2) B Hlth + B DP - A AP + B Spd = B Hlth
Miss: 2) B Hlth doesn't change.
Example:
Derrik, a Human Fighter with 12 AP, 8 DP and 7 Speed attacks Jal, an elven cleric with 8 AP, 7 DP, and 6 Speed. Derrik rolls a 7 and Jal rolls a 5.
1) 7 Spd - 6 Spd + 7 A Dice = 8; 6 Spd - 7 Spd + 5 D Dice = 4, since 7 > 4, it is a hit.
2) Jal gets 7 DP - 12 AP = -5 health, or 5 damage.
