Each adjacent 1x1 square in addition to the first adds 1 to the level and each ot adjacent 1x1 square adds 2 to the level.Target: Can be high, middle right, middle left, middle, low right or low left, each target above one adds 3 to the levelDamage:  Each d6 above the first adds 1 to the level(modify to d8 for two handed weapons and d4 for light) and increaseing the die by one step increases the level by 5.Movement: the amount of movement before the attack is made:  Equal to half the amount of level increase because of damage[/sblock][sblock=defense]Defense Routines have the following characteristics:Level: the minimum ranks in defense to use this routineTarget: Can be high, middle right, middle left, middle, low right or low left, each target above one adds 3 to the levelDamage resisted: Each d6 increases the level by one. Decreasing your opponents damage die(d10->d8->d6->d4->d2)Movement: Each foot of movement increases the level by one[/sblock][sblock=A round of Combat]In the beginning of combat initiative is roled(1d20+dex+feats) whoever goes first declares their action (attack routine) for the first part of the round to someone not controlling the target.  The target roles a routine check (1d20+routine level)opposed by the targets routine check to identify the attack routine(failure by 10 or more indicates a misconception) then declares his coounteraction(defense routine).  Then the next person in the initiative order goes and so on and so forth.[/sblock]Comments?Too Long?</blockquote>
