Combat Guidelines

Things to remember in combat encounters:

Before your turn

  • Decide your course of action.
  • Look up any necessary rules ahead of time.

On your turn

  • Apply any ongoing damage. Take note of any current penalties.
  • Take your actions. You should take less than sixty seconds on most turns.
  • Find any pogs with a status effect which ends with your turn, and remove the status effect (except status effects you just applied this turn).
  • Roll saves.
  • Call end turn and call the next person in initiative order.

When it’s not your turn

  • Pay attention in case you’re attacked or can make an opportunity attack.
  • If attacked, point out any bonus or penalty that would apply. (If you forget a bonus, your character forgets it too.)

After combat

  • Gain one half of an action point. (Resets to 1AP total when you rest.)
  • Loot, heal up, whatever.
