    The document provides guidelines for combat mechanics in a roleplaying game. It recommends using 0.5 successes per damage die rolled, even for characters with special abilities. Damage rolls of 4-6 dice after accounting for armor are suggested to create balanced encounters. Player accuracy should generally be within 3 dice of each other to ensure reasonably shared encounters. Quick calculations of 0.4 successes per damage die can help estimate how many initiative rolls may be needed to defeat player characters by accident. Several character sheets are presented as examples, listing their combat stats like damage dice, defense, and estimated initiatives to defeat.

    Regular rolls/withering:

    1-3 dice +/- small favor/disadvantage.


    4+ dice +/- large favor/disadvantage.

    4-6 dice of damamge post soak makes for a good back and forth

    In general: Always use 0.5 suxx / die, even if they have charms. Dice math
    advantage is because of charms, let them have it.

    Base accuracy within 3 dice among players makes for reasonable shared encounters,
    further apart than that you may want to have specialized challenged for each
    person.

    Useful quick math at the table: Decisive 0.4 sux/die.


    I find this useful to pre-calc rough Init values for accidentally one-shotting PCs.
