~ Combat
This section details what happens when players
start fighting monsters or each other
Running A Combat
The goal of combat is generally to reduce each of
your enemies' blood to zero, causing them to fall.
Strictly speaking, combat ends when people stop
fighting.
To set up a combat, the GM gets out a grid,
modifies it any way they like (page 57), and places
game pieces representing the characters and their
enemies onto it. Anything can work as a game
piece; even just coins or buttons will suffice.
Action Order
The GM compares the reflexes of each character
and enemy involved in the combat and writes a list
starting with the highest reflex character/enemy
and ending with the lowest reflex character/enemy.
This is called the action order.
Writing Actions
Then, the first round begins. Each player writes

space. Melee damage is dealt to the opponent’s
guard until they have no guard. It then deals
damage to their blood.
Ranged Attacks
When you plan to make a ranged attack, choose a
direction and a distance between two and three.
When the time comes for you to attack, you will
target the distance number of spaces in the
direction you choose. For example, choosing to
make a ranged attack two north, will cause you to
target the second closest space to your character
in the direction north.

section describes it for your character. There are
special rules and rule exceptions that apply to
large and small combatants however.
Small Combatants
Small combatants can be in spaces that other
creatures occupy. Allies or enemies can enter the
space of a small creature, and small creatures can
enter the spaces of allies and enemies.
Opportunity attacks work as normal however,
meaning that entering a space that a creature
occupies involves leaving one that they are
adjacent to.
Small combatants handle ranged attacks as
normal, but in order to make a melee attack a
small combatant must be in the same space as the
creature it wishes to attack, and likewise those
creatures must be in its space in order to attack it.
A small combatant may only share a space with
one combatant at a time, even if the other
combatant is also small.
Large Combatants
Large combatants occupy four spaces on the grid.
When they move, each space of their field speed
allows them to move two spaces (the length of

their body). They are subject to the terrain effects

in combat.
Combatants can’t be both at an advantage and a

both, the two cancel each other out.
Just as there are advantages and disadvantages in

Persuasion
Persuasion checks are usually used for contests to
convince people to do things that you would like
them to do. You can make a regular check when
you are trying to convince people of things that it
would not disadvantage them. When it would hurt
them to be persuaded of something (for example,
to help you when helping you would cause them to
spend money or risk their life) you have a contest
with that person. Persuade is also used in a
contest against Pokemon to get them to join them
on your journey when they are defeated in
combat.. You may only make a check against one
Pokemon at a time, and once the check is made it
cannot be made again.

Turtle/Gnome
Play an turtle or gnome if you want to distract
enemy tanks and shoot around them to take down
their weaker allies.
Turtle society is ruled hierarchically by the largest

turtle among it’s people. Because turtles grow
continuously as they age, size is seen as related to
wisdom. Turtle communities are scattered, but
generally congregate for various festivals and

Turtles prize knowledge as a society very highly.

The Slinger (P. 42), and Disruptor (P. 42) fighting

slinger. If you want to avoid attacks by statusing
your enemies, and have combat at a more relaxed
pace, then choose disruptor.
The duelist class (P. 40) can also function well, but
will require lots of investment in guard, and even
then will be very risky because of the frailty of
demons and goblins.

This game has two kinds of items that the players

can be given by the game master as rewards as
well. Scrolls, and Relics.
Scrolls
Scrolls are magic items which go away after use,
and allow players to make a skill check at a much
higher level than they otherwise would be. For
example, you could give them a scroll of Expert
Athletics, which would allow them to make one
check as if they had the expert athletics skill.
They don’t always have to be scrolls, and there are
many ways to theme them. The could be spells for
summoning demons to do your bidding, powerful
but fragile technology, horns to summon animals
Page 46
or other creatures, or potions to temporarily
increase their strength.
Scrolls really really help out small parties. The
amount of these that you give out should depend
on how much players will need them to proceed.
They are minor rewards that you can dole out mid-
quest if they are struggling. For example, they
aren’t strong enough to lift some rocks? Maybe the
search around and find a scroll that lets them do
just that.
Relics
Relics can be used as plot keys, but also general
utilities. They are items which give players access
to talents that you invent while they are holding
them. For example, they might get a jetpack which
would allow one of them to fly while they were
wearing it, or a sword which can open a portal to

Tools
This game isn’t really centered around items,
partially because of the lack of currency, but
players will still want and need tools to help them
overcome obstacles. Needing a tool and not
having it for a task should disadvantaging them.
Not needing a relevant tool tool and having it
anyway for a task should advantage them.
The amount of things that a player can carry with
them is up to you, and it is very reasonable for you
to deem that some things are too big for them.
Here are basic tools that players might want to
acquire in towns, what they are useful for, and their
availability:

When you get into a dungeon, things might start
sounding a little bit like a text adventure. You tell
the player where the exits are in the room, and
what the notable objects in the room are, as well
as a little bit of description for flavor. Try to make a
room at least look or feel interesting if there isn’t
anything interesting in it. Generally interacting with
those objects helps the player unlock new paths
through the dungeon. There are three kinds of
things found in rooms usually: obstacles, hints,
and enemy combatants.
A hint is jus a pice of information that helps you
out with another puzzle somewhere else in the
dungeon.
