Initiative: 0 dice

Movement: 0 feet

Dash: 0 feet

Perception + Alertness: 0 dice

At the start of Combat, roll Initiative: Dexterity + Perception Difficulty 6.

Each Round of Combat represents 3 seconds of near-simultaneous action.

It's my Turn

You get one Movement and one Action on your turn every Round of Combat.

Movement

Movement is taken immediately before OR after your Action. It cannot be split.
You may Free Move (0) feet. Minimum 5 feet.
You may Dash up to an additional (0 feet).
- Dashing penalizes your Action -1 die per 5 feet.
All-out Sprint: instead of using free Movement or Dash, you may spend your Action and roll Brawn + Athletics ( dice) Difficulty 6. You move (0 + (Outcome x 5) Feet).

Actions

Attack with your weapon or hands.
Evade by rolling to Defend or Dodge. Your Outcome is "spent" to reduce the Outcome of any incoming attacks until your next Action.
Activate a Power or use an Ability as normal.
Hold your Action by declaring an Action and a triggering event. If the event occurs before your turn on the next Round, you perform the Action.

I'm being attacked

If you have not yet spent your Action this Round, you may use it as a Reaction.

Reactions

Dodge by rolling Dexterity + Athletics ( dice) Difficulty 6. Your Outcome is subtracted from the attacker's.
Defend with your weapon by rolling its attack roll. Your Outcome is subtracted from the attacker's. Availability depends on weapon match-up (tap/hover).
Clash with the attacker using the same roll you would use to Defend. The higher Outcome (not contested) is treated as the result of a successful, undefended attack roll against the loser.

Desperate Defense

If you have already used your Action, you may Exert your Mind to perform a Reaction. Your next Round's Action receives a -2 dice penalty. You cannot Clash as a Desperate Defense or React more than once to a given Action.

Will to Survive

Once per Contract, you may reduce the severity of an incoming Injury up to 5 Severity levels (to a minimum of Severity 5). You also take a point of Mind Damage and suffer a Battle Scar as normal.

If an attack's Outcome is positive after defense, it results in a new Injury with Severity = Outcome + Weapon damage - Armor

Injuries

(Punch Bag Bob is unharmed)

(TapClick for Severe Injury reference)

Injuries Severity 4+ cause a Battle Scar or Equipment destruction and always require Stabilization

Stabilization is the Injury's main treatment, and each Injury can only be successfully Stabilized once

Unstabilized Injuries worsen by 1 Severity level every half hour

Proper Stabilization

Requires an advanced first aid kit for Severity 4 Injuries, a surgery setup for Severity 5 Injuries, and a surgery theater for Severity 6+ Injuries.

Roll Intellect + Medicine, Difficulty equal to Severity

An Outcome of 1 or greater will Stabilize the Injury and stop its degradation.
Outcome 4+ puts the Injury on track to heal clean: its Battle Scar heals with it.
On a Botch, the Injury's Severity increases by 1.
Failed or Botched attempts may be re-attempted at +1 Difficulty per failure.

Makeshift Stabilization

Attempt a major treatment using insufficient or improvised medical equipment.

Roll Intellect + Medicine, Difficulty > Severity

(Difficulty based on materials and tactics used)

Outcome 1+ will Stabilize the Injury and stop its degradation.
However, any Outcome less than 4 increases the Injury’s Severity by 1. Botches also worsen its Battle Scar if it caused one.
Regardless of Outcome, any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will persist after it is fully healed.
Failed or Botched attempts may be retried at +1 Difficulty per failure.

Self-stabilization attempts are rolled at +1 Difficulty.

Battle Scars

Dice penalties from Battle Scars do not stack with Stress

Lazy eye (-1 die on all visual perception checks.)

Conditions

From The Netherworld

Punching Bag Bob can take a Punch better than most Bob may use a Reaction to double his Armor rating agianst an Unarmed attack.

From Assets and Liabilities

Daredevil You have a penchant for taking wild, unnecessary risks, and somehow manage to survive them. You get +3 dice when attempting an action that is especially risky, and may ignore a single 1 on that roll.

Forgetful Your mind is a sieve, and while you can recall broad strokes, committing anything more detailed to memory is quite difficult. You must roll Mind Difficulty 6 in order to remember any details (locations, names, address, where you left something that you set down, physical descriptions of things, bits of information you were told, etc…) If you fail the roll, you may Exert your mind to remember, but if you botch the roll, you are stuck.

Mute You cannot speak. You may communicate with the GM and describe your actions, but cannot talk to a player character or an NPC unless everyone concerned uses sign language or you write things down.

Cat-Eyes Your eyes catch the light in the dark like a cat or dog's, granting low-light vision. You suffer no penalty to rolls in low-light situations. You cannot see in pitch blackness.

Biography

Bobby Marietta was one of those unfortunates that was given a poor hand, and played that hand badly. Abused as a child, he became a bully to others, and destroyed a lot of children's lives with his unforgiving brutality. Eventually getting caught by his father, who tried to beat him for it, Bob turned his rage onto the older man. Lashing out both physically and verbally, the punishment for his actions was to be beaten severely, and to have his mouth washed out with soap. Not the brightest tool in the shed, Bobby's father used an acidic cleaning agent, which sent Bobby to the hospital.

Bobby's father was arrested for child abuse, his mother arrested due to willful neglect, and drug use, and Bobby was left in the hospital with burnt out vocal cords trying to cling to a life he no longer wanted. News of this reached the students at school who he had been bullying, and they went to his hospital room, forcing him to listen to the stories of what his abuse had caused them over the years. Truly broken, inside and out, when Bobby finally did return to school, he had changed. Instead of being the bully, he allowed those he bullied to take their revenge. He would goad those who were too scared to do it on their own. He made himself the target of other bullies to keep them from harming others and allow them to take out their rage on him. While he was a good fighter, he never took it out on others. He used it instead to angle into ways that would help him take a beating longer.

When he got older, he tried to find a place that he could belong, while still carrying on his role as the world's punching bag. He took on the roll of a clown at a local carnival and used his goading techniques on some of the guests, one of whom lost control and hit him. It was then that he got the idea. He stopped the man, who was apologizing for his outburst, and indicated that if he gave him a dollar, it would be considered ok, and that if he gave him another dollar, he could do it again. The carnival was not okay with this, and he was quickly fired, but Bobby had found his calling. Taking classes as a Mime, Bobby, now going by Punch Bag Bob, made a living taking money for hits.
