1 | Action Scenes | |||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | Actions scenes are what happens when the characters confront hostile foes. They are broken into rounds whose length is dictated by the scene, a tavern brawl would have rounds measured in seconds while a battle between two ships would have rounds lasting minutes. In a round each character has a turn in which they can take a Standard Action, a Minor Action and any number of DIFFERENT free action. In action scenes the heroes always seize the initiative unless the forces of evil spend doom. Combat in An Age Undreamed of is fast, kinetic, and lethal! | |||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | Standard Action | A standard action requires focus and attention: making an attack, moving from from long range into close, clearing a major hindrance | ||||||||||||||||||||||
4 | Minor Actions | A Minor Action requires some concentration but not as much time or effort: stand from prone, bandage a bleeding wound, move from medium range to close | ||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | Free Actions | A Free Action requires little concentration or effort: Dropping prone, dropping an item, speak | ||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | Reactions | These occur in response to something, these happen off turn, a character can make as many reactions as they want but it cost 1 doom + 1 per reaction made previous, so that a characters second reaction costs 2 doom, a third costs 3 doom, etc. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | Initiative | All of the heroes in any order they wish then all of the villains go in any order the GM wishes. The GM may spend 1 Doom to have 1 villain take their turn before a hero, this is repeatable | ||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | Surprise | If one group of opponents attempts to surprise another than both groups attempt a STRUGGLE, each group nominates a leader for this struggle with the others assisting. If the side who attempted the surprise wins the struggle, they acts first and each gains the benefits of the EXPLOIT Action. If the side defending against the Surprise wins the struggle they may pay 2 DOOM or 1 FORTUNE to gain the benefits of surprise | ||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | Zones and Range | |||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | This system does not track exact distances but instead breaks a scene into distinct zones of variable size befitting the encounter, for example a fight between two ships may have 5 zones each dozens of feet to a side, while a tavern brawl may also have 5 zones each barely ten feet to a side. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | Range is used to determine the distance between two zones and is broken into the following categories: Reach, Close, Medium, Long, Extreme. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | Reach | Within arms length, melee combat distance, moving within reach of something can be done for free as part of any move action but moving out of Reach may provoke Retaliation | ||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | Close | A character's current zone, moving within close range is a Free Action | ||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | Medium. | A zone adjacent to a character's current zone, moving to a point with in medium range is Minor Action | ||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | Long | A zone two away from the character's current zone, moving to point at long range is a Standard Action which increases the difficulty of all subsequent actions by (1D) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | Extreme | A zone which is three or more away from the character's current zone, a point at extreme range cannot be moved to in a Single Action | ||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | (X) (Y) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | |||||||||||||||||||
19 | (X) and (Y) are within close range of each other and can move to Reach as a Free Action. (1) is within medium range of (X) and can be moved to with a Minor Action while (2) is at Long Range and would require a Standard Action to move to. Zones (3) & (4) are at extreme range and can not be moved to in a Single Action. If (X) were to move to (2) as a Standard Action (X) could then move to (3) as a Minor Action as it is now with in Medium Range | |||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | Obstacles | Climbable walls, ladders, fences, etc. Requires a (D1) skill test to bypass, failure prevents you from bypassing the obstacle | ||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | Hindrances | Effects an entire zone: Mud, a swamp, deep snow, etc. Requires a (D1) Skill Test to bypass, failure prevents your character from moving | ||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | Hazards | Function the same as an obstacle or a hindrance but cause physical damage if the test to bypass is failed | ||||||||||||||||||||||
24 | Cover | Large items such as boxes, Stone Pillars, Iron Racks, etc. Provide Physical Damage Soak (2) or (4) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
25 | Combat! | |||||||||||||||||||||||
26 | Stress | Any damage suffered is removed from the appropriate stress (Vigor for physical & Resolve for Mental). Losing stress has no gameplay effect on your character until you either: A) lose all stress, or B) take 5 or more stress in one attack, if either occurs the character suffers one Harm (Wounds for Physical and Trauma for Mental) or two harm if both occur | ||||||||||||||||||||||
27 | Harm | Each point of harm suffered increases the difficulty of tests relating to their corresponding attribute | ||||||||||||||||||||||
28 | Wounds | Increases the difficulty of Agility, Brawn, & Coordination | ||||||||||||||||||||||
29 | Trauma | Increases the difficulty of Awareness, Intelligence, Personality, & Willpower | ||||||||||||||||||||||
30 | Stress | All stress is restored at the end of an action scene | ||||||||||||||||||||||
31 | Harm | Once per day, a skill test can be made to treat harm (Difficulty is the amount of harm suffered) if successful than 1 Harm + 1 per momentum spent is suppressed, no longer affecting that character's tests. However if they suffer a new harm of the same type, all of their suppressed harm returns. To truly remove harm requires time, rest, and possibly a healer. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

67 | Melee Combat | |||||||||||||||||||||||
68 | Reach & Guard | At the start of melee combat all characters within reach are On Guard so long as they are standing, aware, and able to defend. Guard Allows a character to use their weapon's Reach to its full effect. When making an attack the combatants compare the reach of their weapons, If the defenders Reach is longer than the attackers, the Difficulty of the skill test to attack increases by the difference between the two. ex. If the attacker has a dagger (R1) and the defender has a Sword (R2) than the skill test to hit increases from (D1) to (D2). If a character loses Guard than the attacker gains a bonus +1D for every point by which their reach is shorter. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
69 | Losing | A character loses guard if they are knocked prone or the attacker spends 2M after a successful attack | ||||||||||||||||||||||
70 | Resetting | A character may reset their guard by using a Minor action and Parry test with difficulty equal to the opponents reach | ||||||||||||||||||||||
