Combat
Attack rolls are done with a 1d20 + any modifiers and must greater than or equal to the AC of the target to hit.
Critical Hits
- For die rolls of 18-20, cleariing the target AC by at least 5 is a critical hit. For each increment of 5, the crit level is increased. For example, clearing by 10 is a double crit and 15 is a triple crit.
- For die rolls below 18, one must clear by 10 and the increment is 10.
- Each level of critical grants an additional die for the damage roll. Status effects are also possible with a 1d10 roll for location and 2d4 roll for severity.
- The maximum crit level is a triple crit with 4 damage dice.

- Cleave: strike a foe with -2 penalty to hit, if the blow kills, attack again with a -4 penalty.
Attack Bonuses
- Back attack: +2 bonus to hit
- Surprise attack: +4 bonus to hit
