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

stabbed once again

stab in the back

(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

Bleeder (The Injury that caused this Battle Scar degrades every minute instead of every 30 minutes. When the Injury is Stabilized, remove this Battle Scar.)

Circumstances

In Maelstrom

Finances: Poor

From Assets and Liabilities

You are completely incapable of holding onto money. You start each Contract with 1d10 x10 dollars in cash.

Illicit Supplier: drugs

From Assets and Liabilities

Through some illegal means, you have reliable access to a certain type of material others don’t. Choose drugs (narcotics, prescriptions, poisons), explosives (grenades, dynamite, c4), or armory (any firearms or armor, even if illegal where you reside)

Conditions

From Assets and Liabilities

Sensitive You're emotionally fragile, and very likely to be mentally and emotionally scarred by your experiences. You have four Limits, instead of the usual three.

Pathetic You are so pathetic, no one takes you seriously as a threat. As long as your Brawn rating is 1, opponents must roll Mind and achieve an Outcome of 4 or higher to attack you instead of other targets in Combat.

Focused You’re cool under pressure. Stress from Mind Damage is reduced by 2.

Biography

Born into a wealthy oil family, Samuel was set to inherit their fossil fuel empire. Instead, he earned degrees in virology and botany, studying how pollution and corporate negligence damage ecosystems and human health. Though he left his family’s wealth, his academic reputation still grants him occasional access to his old university’s lab—a perk he quietly uses to craft plant-based remedies (like CBD oils and mild psychedelic blends) from organic materials. He sells these to eco-communities and wellness circles, calling it “guerrilla pharmacology” to fund his van life and activism.

Now a nomadic environmentalist, Samuel mixes stoner calm with bold action. He disrupts pipelines, camps in trees to block deforestation (joint in hand), and flies drones over illegal logging sites. Between protests, he crashes on friends’ couches or in his solar-powered van, “The Wanderroot,” which doubles as a mobile seed-bomb workshop.

Though wanted for trespassing and “creative sabotage,” he’s oddly diplomatic—once convincing loggers to down tools by sharing a joint and stats on forest carbon capture. His projects include turning parking lots into wildflower meadows and hosting psychedelic “climate grief circles” to process eco-despair.

Motto: “Burn corporate greed, not the planet.” Quote: “Lab coats and leaf blunts—tools of the revolution. We’re not just saving the Earth, dude, we’re rewilding humanity.”
