Statblock:

Mov: Movement, in inches

MA: Melee Aptitude

RA: Ranged Aptitude

Str: Strength. Added to weapon damage

Def: Defence. Reduces damage

HD: Hit Die. A plus indicates an amount added to the maximum number on the hit die

Will: Used to cast and resist magic

CR: Courage

Arm: Armour. Attack roll is a check against this

Turn:

2 actions. Repeating an action counts as a “focussed action,” adding a bonus die to the roll required. Ex:
attack roll, spell roll, movement or skill.

Bonus dice and penalty dice cancel out.

Actions are:

Move
Attack
Cast a spell
Use a Skill
Brace (penalty die to all attacks)
Swap Weapon/Use Item

Combat:

Melee is MA vs Arm. Equal or higher is a hit. Damage is weapon die plus strength, minus defence. Excess
is hp loss

Ranged is RA vs arm. Equal or higher is a hit. Damage is weapon die. Cover is light: Penalty die or Heavy:
penalty die, person in cover gains +2 defence

Magic: Casting is Will, resisting is will. Casting in combat incurs a penalty die.

Skills:
Most classes 1, mages 2, rogues 3. Usual roll is d20 plus skill rank, but an unskilled person may attempt
to do so with a penalty die.
