So Borzan's attack roll is 6 (highest die rolled) -1 (multiple action penalty) plus 3 (for skill level in Tatharoc) for a total roll of 8, which meets the default target number. Borzan then rolls his damage for the kick <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2444631/" target="_blank">1d6+4=8</a> doing 8 points of damage to Srosski's right upper leg/thigh (<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2444633/" target="_blank">2d6=9</a> ).</p><p> </p><p>Srosski has a Fitness of 4, meaning that there are 7 levels of health with 4 points in each level.

So Srosski's attack roll is a 2 (highest die rolled) -1 (Stunned Health Level) -1 (Luck die) plus 3 (Srosski's levels in Unarmed Combat) for a total of 3, meaning his kick is too wide and easily dodged by Borzan.</p><p> </p><p>Borzan now follows up his attack with the Rake-Punch (<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2444639/" target="_blank">4d6=1,3,1,5</a> ), which has a default target number of 7.

Borzan's attack roll is 6 (highest die rolled) -1 (multiple action penalty) -5 (penalty for called shot) +4 (courage points) plus 3 (Borzan's levels in Unarmed Combat) for a total of 7 in which Borzan successfully headbutts Srosski. Since it is a called shot, no hit location is rolled for but x2 damage occurs from the head shot. So, Borzan rolls (<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2444643/" target="_blank">2 + 1d6=5</a> ) 5 points of damage which is automatically doubled for a total of 10 points against Srosski. </p><p> </p><p>Srosski is stunned for a minute, surprised with the ferocity of his opponent's attack and not expecting the headbutt.

Since Srosski has 4 points per Health Level, the 10 points would squarely put him in the middle of the Injured Health Level now incuring a -2 penalty for all attack and skill checks.

Borzan has rolled a 5 (highest die rolled) -1 (multiple action penalty) plus 3 (unarmed skill level) for a total of 7, meaning the orion has just thrown Srosski down to the ground landing on his <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2444647/" target="_blank">2d6=10</a> ) lower left leg which now means that Srosski can only move at one quarter speed.

Since Srosski has gotten a 6 on his luck die, now he uses both numbers added together for his roll for a 9.

[QUOTE="knightemplar, post: 5122532, member: 56260"] Srosski walks up to the Triskelon and makes a hand motion and declares, "In the name of my forefathers, I will fight in the ring." "First, you must defeat Borzan, and other opponents to attain the honor of fighting the Champion.", as Galt waves back towards the Arena, an orion male waits with no weapons visible in his hands. "1000 strips of Latinum on the Gorn.", a voice says out of nowhere. A few seconds pass and no other bets are placed by the mysterious Providers. "Done, may the Providers be blessed. Let the Games begin!". Galt's voice echoes through the holodeck. The two combatant's slowly start sizing each other up waiting for the other to attack.

Borzan's attack roll is 6 (highest die rolled) -1 (multiple action penalty) -5 (penalty for called shot) +4 (courage points) plus 3 (Borzan's levels in Unarmed Combat) for a total of 7 in which Borzan successfully headbutts Srosski.
