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

Tree

Gunshot

Swiss cheesed

Branded neck

(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

Mutation: Gills (You can breathe water as you do air)

Branded Neck - You can only extend your neck 10 feet. This affects the range of your Snakebite Power.

From Assets and Liabilities

You can speak, read, and write in the chosen languages. You may be given a roll to decipher some amount of meaning from a related language at GMs discretion.

Outsider

From Assets and Liabilities

You are not an accepted member of society. You have no citizenship in any country or nation, and have no legally recognized forms of identification or licenses, making many elements of modern life impossible for you to attain. Making Moves to gain new Circumstances is significantly hampered by your outsider status, and in some cases may be completely impossible. Your Outsider status may occasionally cause GMs to give you new Loose Ends, at their discretion.

Aged Aged up two years

Noir sucks Vendetta against Noir

Curse of the Moon When the moon is full you take a bestial aspect, during which time all living creatures appear to be Meat for the Beast. You remain in this state until you consume half your weight in raw, dripping flesh or until the sun rises, whichever comes first. You may exert mind to stall the transformation for 1 minute after Moonrise - once complete, replace all Limits with the following Custom Limit - Must Feed: Make a Trauma roll whenever you pass an opportunity to feed. You are particularly drawn to feed off people you know: +2 to Difficulty on Trauma rolls if you know a potential target. When this effect ends, you reduce the level of any injuries sustained by -2 & have no recollection of what occurred in that time.

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.

Trained Reflexes Your life has been filled with tight situations and violent encounters, so when the fighting starts, you act quickly. You get +3 dice to all Initiative rolls.

Tough You can function under intense pain. Dice penalties from pain are reduced by 2. This includes Body penalty.

Focused You are able to remain focused despite your circumstances and surroundings. Any Mind Penalty you have is reduced by 2.

Jack of All Trades You are naturally capable of most things, even without any training. When making a roll which utilizes a Primary Ability that you don’t possess, you do not suffer the standard +1 Difficulty penalty, and you receive +1 dice to the roll.

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.

Vengeful An insult to or an attack on your person simply cannot be tolerated. Each time someone wrongs you or disrespects you in a major way, you must succeed a Self-Control roll to resist taking revenge.

Dark Fate When things go wrong for you, they go very wrong. Any time you roll an Outcome of 0, it counts as a Botch (-1). You cannot use Will to Survive to reduce the Severity of incoming Injuries.

Biography

To wake up one day, alone, naked in the woods seems like a horror, one that could never actually happen to someone. Yet there I was, unharmed, physically at least, on a bed of moss, lying in the woods. It was peaceful for a minute, until I realized I didn’t know how I was there… I didn’t know anything. It was as if I was created in that instant I awoke, able to process the world with the mental capacity of someone my age, but unable to put memories to anything, because there were no memories to connect. Even when I got to the city I realized I could understand only the most basic words of the language. Not like I could speak any. All I knew I could do were hunt, fight, and survive.

So I did. For two years. Then another one, but this time in the games. And now I’m at a point where I don’t even know who I am. I’m changing so much, who’s to say my mind isn’t changing too? I know I still need to protect the young and the weak who can’t do it themselves. But beyond that, who even am I? Why do I even play these games, these contracts? Because some man who could slow time and stretch his arms branded me like cattle? If I can ever see him again, I’m going to need answers, even if it kills me…
